In this article, we analyze a structure-preserving model order reduction technique for deterministic and stochastic delay equations based on the balanced truncation method provide system theoretic interpretation. Transferring framework of [6], find error estimates difference between dynamics full reduced model. This analysis als...

In this paper we describe a new error-correcting code (ECC) inspired by the Naccache-Stern cryptosystem. While by far less efficient than Turbo codes, the proposed ECC happens to be more efficient than some established ECCs for certain sets of parameters. The new ECC adds an appendix to the message. The appendix is the modular product of small primes representing the message bits. The receiver ...

This report uses examples from two flight deck based case studies to illustrate how to use the THEA technique for carrying out a human error analysis during early design. The aim is that this document should accompany a one day tutorial and should be sufficient to capture the essence of the design method. This document introduces material that is an evolution of the THEA techniques and includes...

iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my advisor, Frank Durso, for his guidance, teaching, and encouragement throughout my graduate career. I would also like to thank my committee members, knowledge and advice through this dissertation.

Objective. To provide guidelines for enhancing the patient accrual process in clinical trials using communitybased Web-based Information Technology (WebIT). Background and Significance. Previous ITadministered education studies have been conducted in controlled environments: the computers are usually 1) supplied to the patients, 2) in an setting where a research facilitator can assist patients ...
