A Game Theoretic Framework For Communication Decisions In Multi Agent Systems
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Communication is the process of transferring information between multiple entities. We study the communication process between different entities that are modeled as multiple agents. To study the interactions between these ...
Mystical Experience And Its Defense On The Mystical's Proper Understanding And Usage
(Humanities, 2013-03-20)
This document will closely examine the issue of mystical experience by reviewing its origins in sacred concepts and leading arguments in the field of philosophy of mysticism. Ultimately, this document will attempt to prove ...
Selective Grouping Algorithm For Low Latency Anonymous Systems
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Low latency anonymous communications are prone to timing analysis attacks. It is a technique by which the adversary can de-anonymize the user by correlating packet timing patterns. A recent proposal to stop these attacks ...
From Phenotype To Genotype: A Structured Sparse Learning Framework For Imaging Genetics Studies
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Sparsity is one of the intrinsic properties of real-world data, thus sparse representation based learning models have been widely used to simplify data modeling and discover predictive patterns. By enforcing properly ...
Active Nanophotonics For Quantum- And Classical-optics Applications
(Electrical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
This thesis presents theoretical and experimental development of the interaction enhancement between the photon and matter. We propose one single photon emitter by integrating a single CdSe /ZnS quantum dot into a ...
An Experiment In Developing Small Mobile Phone Applications Comparing On-phone To Off-phone Development
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
TouchDevelop represents a radically new mobile application development model, as TouchDevelop enables mobile application development on a mobile device. I.e., with TouchDevelop, the task of programming say a Windows Phone ...
SWCC And Clay Mineralogy Based Models For Realistic Simulation Of Swell Behavior Of Expansive Soils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Predicting the volume change behavior of expansive soils has been a major challenge to the engineers in the past few years, due to the intricate couple effects caused by different soil composition parameters toward swelling. ...
Experimental Identification Of Force Coefficients Of Hybrid Air Foil Bearings
(Aerospace Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Successful applications for air foil bearings in small to midsize turbo-machinery have been acknowledged. Air foil bearings do not require oil lubricant thus they are capable of operating under much higher temperature than ...
Development Of Finite Element Model For Analysis Of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe-embedded Cylinder Pipe With Experimental Comparison
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) is a composite pipe that consists ofconcrete and steel, which has layers of concrete core, steel cylinder, prestressing wire andmortar coating. PCCP is generally constructed of two ...
Effects Of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Wrap On Reducing Chloride Penetration In Concrete
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-07-22)
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of FRP wrap on reducing chloride penetration in concrete. It has been established that FRP wrap used to retrofit concrete structures offer a high resistance to ...
