Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. In this thesis the performance of target tracking algorithms, and in particular the sequential multi-sensor joint probabilistic data association algorithm is analyzed. The main contribu...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an emerging neuromodulation therapy that has been experimentally determined to affect a wide range of behaviors and diseases ranging from motor, cognitive, and memory processes to depression and pain syndromes. The effects of tDCS may be inhibitory or excitatory, depending on the relative polarities of electrodes and their proximity to different...

This paper proposes a procedure for comparison of target tracking filters in cluttered environment, using simulated experiments. Important simulation issues, including track generation and retention across simulation runs and true track definition are discussed. False track discrimination is identified as an important target tracking filter performance measure. This measure has two components; ...

To achieve adequate luminosity in a muon collider it is necessary to produce and collect large numbers of muons. The basic method used in this paper follows closely a proposed scheme which starts with a proton beam impinging on a thick target ( ,,~ one interaction length) followed by a long solenoid which collects muons resulting mainly from pion decay. Production and collection of pions and th...

According to requirements of application, it adopts the laser module to design the laser driver circuit, and the designed modulation circui...

Polygeneration systems offer the possibility of efficient, low-carbon production of different product streams from a single facility. Such systems take advantage of opportunities for integrating processes to achieve effective recovery of waste energy and material streams. Mathematical programming methods have proven to be valuable for the optimal synthesis of such polygeneration systems. Howeve...
