In this paper we present sufficient conditions for the existence of a bounded real rational unit in H∞ to exactly interpolate to points in the right half plane (RHP). It is shown that these sufficient conditions are equivalent to the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a bounded real irrational unit in H∞ to interpolate to points in the RHP, as initially described by Tannen...

for his love, support and selfless sacrifices. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Allen Tannenbaum, not only for his wonderful understanding and guidance of technical topics, but also for his kindness and generosity. I would like to thank Dr. Steven Haker for his help and suggestions. I would like to thank my thesis committee members, Dr. for their help throughout my study. F...

T Background:Background: Clogging of biliary stents remains an important problem. In vitro studiess have shown less sludge formation in Teflon stents. Recently, clinical studies with Teflonn stents have produced contradictory results. The aim of this study was to investigatee whether the surface properties of the endoprostheses could explain the variationn observed in clinical studies. Methods:...

Kerrick (1956) found no relationship between anxiety as measured by the Taylor Manifest Anxiety scale (Taylor, 19S3) and discrimination among concepts on the semantic differential (Osgood, Suci, & Tannenbaum, 1957). He found a positive relationship between intelligence and discrimination. On the other hand, Ware (as reported by Osgood, 1962) and Brod, Kernoff, and Terwilliger (1964) found no re...

Relatively few studies have been made of the influence of the thyroid gland on the development and growth of tumors. Lerman (15) stated that the thyroid does not greatly influence the onset and growth of either experimental or human cancer, but Rawson (17) recently cited some experimental and clinical observations which suggest that hyperthyroidism may inhibit, while hypothyroidism may enhance,...

The evolution of plane curves obeying the equation v = β(k), where v is normal velocity and k curvature of the curve is studied. Morphological image and shape multiscale analysis of Alvarez, Guichard, Lions and Morel and affine invariant scale space of curves introduced by Sapiro and Tannenbaum as well as isotropic motions of plane phase interfaces studied by Angenent and Gurtin are included in...

The purpose of this paper is to show how to combine some new results on internal stabilizability [11, 12, 14, 15] with a result on multidimensional linear systems, independently obtained by ByrnesSpong-Tarn and Kamen-Khargonekar-Tannenbaum in [2, 6], in order to prove a conjecture of Z. Lin [7, 8, 9]. In particular, we shall show that every internal stabilizable multidimensional linear system (...

The intention of this writing is to introduce the reader to problems, requirements and design issues of distributed operating systems. After introducing the main motivations, which lead to distributed operating systems and defining what is meant by a distributed operating systems, this paper takes a deeper look into what transparency, reliability, flexibility and performance of those systems im...

The length based attack on Anshel-Anshel-Goldfeld commutator key-exchange protocol [1] was initially proposed by Hughes and Tannenbaum in [9]. Several attempts have been made to implement the attack [6], but none of them had produced results convincing enough to believe that attack works. In this paper we show that accurately designed length based attack can successfully break a random instance...
