Medium access control protocol design for in-vehicle power line communication
Creators: name: Kenarsari Anhari, Amir
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Nowadays, the number of electronic devices in vehicles grows at an exponential rate. For the purpose of communication between these components, several standardized communication protocols such as controller area network (CAN), local interconnect network (LIN), and FlexRay have been developed and are used in vehicles. However, the use of additional wires for data communication still results in a significant increase in the complexity, volume, weight, and cost of wiring harness. Vehicular power line communication (V-PLC) is an interesting alternative that offers numerous advantages. This technology reuses the existing direct current (DC) power network in vehicles as the physical medium for data transmission and allows eliminating some of the wiring harnesses devoted to convey data signals. Hence, This technology can potentially reduce the vehicle cost, weight, and fuel consumption. However, to provide reliable communication over power lines, several challenges need to be addressed. These include impulsive noise produced by electrical devices connected to the bus and frequency-selective behavior of the power line channels introduced by impedance mismatches in the wiring harness. In this thesis, we study research challenges for the medium access control (MAC) protocol design of V-PLC networks. We propose MAC protocols for such systems, which provide fast collision resolution, and perform performance evaluations on these protocols in terms of collision probability, system throughput, and packet delay. Our results show that these protocols outperform the previously proposed protocol, contention detection and resolution (CDR) in all scenarios. We then investigate the effect of carrier sensing errors on the performance of the proposed MAC protocols. We start with addressing the problem of detection of unknown signals in impulsive noise by using a robust detector, which first removes the impulses from the signal and then performs linear signal detection on the cleaned samples. We obtain the network throughput and delay of the proposed protocols as a function of carrier sensing errors. We then suggest a framework for the optimal joint design of the physical layer signal detector and MAC layer protocol.

description: Loop Quantum Gravity provides a natural truncation of the infinite degrees of freedom of gravity, obtained by studying the theory on a given finite graph. We review this procedure and we present the construction of the canonical theory on a simple graph, formed by only two nodes. We review the U(N) framework, which provides a powerful tool for the canonical study of this model, and a formulation of the system based on spinors. We consider also the covariant theory, which permits to derive the model from a more complex formulation, paying special attention to the cosmological interpretation of the theory.

Environmental governance in Northern Thailand : the role of the district-level forest ranger

description: This thesis examines the role of district-level forest rangers in Northern Thailand. It builds an ethnographic case that Thai forest rangers have been largely successful in establishing with the local people their legitimacy to regulate the environment, but their effectiveness is limited by the influence of other stakeholders. The primary data that informs the thesis was collected during 15 months of living and working with a watershed management unit of the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department. Other studies of Thai forestry often portray district-level foresters as part of a singular, uncompromising forestry bureaucracy. This thesis adds to literature on Thai state-society relations by illustrating how forestry regulation in Northern Thailand is profoundly influenced by local factors and by sometimes conflicting government interests. As the personal interface between the forestry department and village people, district-level foresters are in a unique position in the system of governance. They need professional expertise, political nous and social skills to carry out their department's conservation mandate while maintaining a welcome presence in the community. The thesis draws attention to how richly we can see the regulatory pluralism of Thai environmental governance by imagining it as a Thai dance of identities - the strategic interactions the rangers employ to achieve their ends. It highlights various sources of power and influence that district-level foresters have to consider as they tailor broad environmental management policies to a local situation. It notes that the public image of environmental protection projected by the department, and the reality on the ground, are not the same - the difference between them being influenced by Thai cultural norms. District-level foresters make effective use of their geographic isolation, their social embeddedness in local villages, and religious and political ceremonies to aid them in their regulatory task.

description: We investigate the variational structure of discrete Laplace-type equations that are motivated by discrete integrable quad-equations. In particular, we explain why the reality conditions we consider should be all that are reasonable, and we derive sufficient conditions (that are often necessary) on the labeling of the edges under which the corresponding generalized discrete action functional is convex. Convexity is an essential tool to discuss existence and uniqueness of solutions to Dirichlet boundary value problems. Furthermore, we study which combinatorial data allow convex action functionals of discrete Laplace-type equations that are actually induced by discrete integrable quad-equations, and we present how the equations and functionals corresponding to (Q3) are related to circle patterns.

description: We explore the possibility of decelerating and Doppler cooling an ensemble of tree-level $Λ$-type atoms by a coherent train of short, non-overlapping laser pulses. We show that $Λ$-atoms can be Doppler cooled without additional repumping of the population from the intermediate ground state. We derive analytical expression for the scattering force in the quasi-steady-state regime and analyze its dependence on pulse train parameters. Based on this analysis we propose a method of choosing pulse train parameters to optimize the cooling process.

Modal based solutions for the acquisition and rendering of large spatial soundfields
Creators: name: Samarasinghe, Prasanga
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2015

description: This thesis explores the design and analysis of acoustic signal processing algorithms for the acquisition and rendering of spatial soundfields over large regions. The principal function of spatial sound systems is to record and reproduce desired soundfields in real time. Although there exist numerous approaches to the above problem, the development of immersive audio over large spatial regions is impeded by several fundamental and technological limitations. Therefore, there is a growing interest in deriving new signal processing algorithms for the recreation of large acoustic events, along with a wide range of applications envisioned for the future. Our approach is to study the modal based solution to the classical wave equation, and exploit its intrinsic properties to develop new recording/reproduction techniques. Novel designs for microphone/loudspeaker arrays are derived where each unit records/reproduces lower order spatial sound samples of the larger soundfield of interest. These samples are collectively combined to generate the final outcome using a set of modal analysis tools referred to as the addition theorems. An efficient model of the underlying structure of reverberation is also incorporated to improve the fidelity of sound reproduction. Several outcomes resulting from this approach are: (i) derivation of a novel microphone array design for spatial sound recording with a substantial reduction in microphone numbers, (ii) derivation of a novel loudspeaker array design for spatial sound reproduction with a substantial reduction in loudspeaker numbers and, (iii) a new approach to acoustic equalization based upon an efficient parameterization of the room transfer function. Compared to the conventional approaches to sound recording, the proposed microphone design is shown to be more robust to measurement noise. Likewise, compared to the existing surround sound systems, the proposed loudspeaker design is shown to be highly advantageous with the added ability to cancel the outgoing soundfield. Application and performance of the above methods are illustrated using appropriate simulation examples.

description: V114, a 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV15) currently approved in adults in the US, contains the 13 S. pneumoniae serotypes in PCV13 and two additional serotypes, 22 F and 33 F, which are important contributors to residual PD. This study quantified the health and economic burden of pediatric invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) associated with V114 serotypes in eight countries in Europe. A Markov model estimated V114-type IPD cases and costs in hypothetical unvaccinated birth cohorts from Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK over 20 years. Inputs were obtained from published literature. IPD cases and costs were calculated for three time periods using time-specific epidemiological data: (a) pre-PCV7; (b) pre-PCV13; and (c) post-PCV13. Costs were estimated from a societal perspective (2018 Euros) and discounted at 3%. The model estimated that 4,649 IPD cases in the pre-PCV7 period, 3,248 cases in the pre-PCV13 period, and 958 cases in the post-PCV13 period were attributable to V114 serotypes. Total discounted costs associated with V114 serotypes were €109.1 million (pre-PCV7 period), €65.7 million (pre-PCV13 period), and €18.7 million (post-PCV13 period). Post-meningitis sequelae, acute otitis media, and non-bacteremic pneumonia were not considered. Direct non-medical costs were not included. Conclusions on effectiveness of V114 or added value over existing infant vaccination programs cannot be drawn. IPD cases and costs were estimated in hypothetical birth cohorts in eight European countries followed for 20 years during three time periods. Serotypes included in V114 were associated with significant morbidity and costs in pre-PCV7, pre-PCV13, and post-PCV13 periods. Future pediatric pneumococcal vaccines should maintain protection against serotypes in licensed vaccines while extending coverage to additional serotypes to ensure reductions in IPD burden are maintained.

description: TUnfold is a tool for correcting migration and background effects in high energy physics for multi-dimensional distributions. It is based on a least square fit with Tikhonov regularisation and an optional area constraint. For determining the strength of the regularisation parameter, the L-curve method and scans of global correlation coefficients are implemented. The algorithm supports background subtraction and error propagation of statistical and systematic uncertainties, in particular those originating from limited knowledge of the response matrix. The program is interfaced to the ROOT analysis framework.

description: An analytic proof is given which shows that it is impossible to extend any triple of mutually unbiased (MU) product bases in dimension six by a single MU vector. Furthermore, the 16 states obtained by removing two orthogonal states from any MU product triple cannot figure in a (hypothetical) complete set of seven MU bases. These results follow from exploiting the structure of MU product bases in a novel fashion, and they are among the strongest ones obtained for MU bases in dimension six without recourse to computer algebra.

description: In this paper, we present an alternative method for the spectral analysis of a univariate, strictly stationary time series $\{Y_t\}_{t\in \mathbb {Z}}$. We define a "new" spectrum as the Fourier transform of the differences between copulas of the pairs $(Y_t,Y_{t-k})$ and the independence copula. This object is called a copula spectral density kernel and allows to separate the marginal and serial aspects of a time series. We show that this spectrum is closely related to the concept of quantile regression. Like quantile regression, which provides much more information about conditional distributions than classical location-scale regression models, copula spectral density kernels are more informative than traditional spectral densities obtained from classical autocovariances. In particular, copula spectral density kernels, in their population versions, provide (asymptotically provide, in their sample versions) a complete description of the copulas of all pairs $(Y_t,Y_{t-k})$. Moreover, they inherit the robustness properties of classical quantile regression, and do not require any distributional assumptions such as the existence of finite moments. In order to estimate the copula spectral density kernel, we introduce rank-based Laplace periodograms which are calculated as bilinear forms of weighted $L_1$-projections of the ranks of the observed time series onto a harmonic regression model. We establish the asymptotic distribution of those periodograms, and the consistency of adequately smoothed versions. The finite-sample properties of the new methodology, and its potential for applications are briefly investigated by simulations and a short empirical example.

description: We introduce and investigate a new model of a finite number of particles jumping forward on the real line. The jump lengths are independent of everything, but the jump rate of each particle depends on the relative position of the particle compared to the center of mass of the system. The rates are higher for those left behind, and lower for those ahead of the center of mass, providing an attractive interaction keeping the particles together. We prove that in the fluid limit, as the number of particles goes to infinity, the evolution of the system is described by a mean field equation that exhibits traveling wave solutions. A connection to extreme value statistics is also provided.

Energy-efficient compressed sensing frameworks for the compression of electroencephalogram signals
Creators: name: Fauvel, Simon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The use of wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs) is gaining popularity in monitoring and communicating information about a person's health. In such applications, the amount of data transmitted by the sensor node should be minimized. This is because the energy available in these battery-powered sensors is limited. In this thesis, we study the wireless transmission of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. We propose novel, energy-efficient compressed sensing (CS) frameworks that take advantage of the inherent structure present in EEG signals (both temporal and spatial correlations) to efficiently compress these signals at the sensor node in WBSNs. We first present a simple CS-based framework that is adapted to the EEG WBSN setting. We optimize the sparsifying dictionary and demonstrate that using a fixed sparse binary sensing matrix offers similar performances to optimal matrices while requiring far fewer computations. We then add an energy-efficient Independent Component Analysis (ICA) preprocessing block to the simple CS framework to exploit the spatial correlations among EEG channels. We show that the proposed framework provides significant energy savings as compared to the state-of-the-art method. As well, for a fixed compression ratio, our system achieves similar normalized mean square error performance as the state-of-the-art method, which is better than that achieved by the simple CS framework. We further improve on the energy performance of the framework by replacing the ICA preprocessing block by a simpler, correlations-based interchannel redundancy module and by using entropy coding. On the energy front, our proposed CS framework is up to 8 times more energy-efficient than the typical wavelet compression method. We also show that our method achieves a better reconstruction quality than the state-of-the art BSBL method. We further demonstrate that our method is robust to measurement noise and to packet loss, and that it is applicable to a wide range of EEG signal types. We finally apply our CS framework to compress EEG signals in the context of a brain computer interface application and evaluate its impact on the performance of the system. We show that interesting energy savings can be realized at the cost of a mild decrease in classification accuracy.

description: New results for scalar Casimir self-energies arising from interior modes are presented for the three integrable tetrahedral cavities. Since the eigenmodes are all known, the energies can be directly evaluated by mode summation, with a point-splitting regulator, which amounts to evaluation of the cylinder kernel. The correct Weyl divergences, depending on the volume, surface area, and the edges, are obtained, which is strong evidence that the counting of modes is correct. Because there is no curvature, the finite part of the quantum energy may be unambiguously extracted. Cubic, rectangular parallelepipedal, triangular prismatic, and spherical geometries are also revisited. Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are considered for all geometries. Systematic behavior of the energy in terms of geometric invariants for these different cavities is explored. Smooth interpolation between short and long prisms is further demonstrated. When scaled by the ratio of the volume to the surface area, the energies for the tetrahedra and the prisms of maximal isoareal quotient lie very close to a universal curve. The physical significance of these results is discussed.

We compare Ext-groups of tempered G-representations in several module categories: smooth G-representations, algebraic S(G)-modules, bornological S(G)-modules and an exact category of S(G)-modules on LF-spaces which contains all admissible S(G)-modules. We simplify the proofs of known comparison theorems for these Ext-groups, due to Meyer and Schneider-Zink. Our method is based on the Bruhat-Tits building of G and on analytic properties of the Schneider-Stuhler resolutions.

description: The present study established indometacin (IMC) delivery system with chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSNs) and amino-modified chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Amino-CMSNs) that previously reported as pharmaceutical excipients, and their systemic biological effects, mainly consisting of in vitro drug intestinal permeability, haemolysis assay, in vivo pharmacokinetics, anti-inflammation pharmacodynamics and gastric irritation, were addressed. It turned out that the two IMC delivery systems established by CMSN and Amino-CMSN significantly improved drug intestinal permeability due to the improved drug dissolution caused by conversion of drug crystalline state to amorphous phase. Further, IMC-loaded Amino-CMSN was the superior choice because of its higher dissolution rate. Furthermore, CMSN and Amino-CMSN were safe to be circulated in blood, and Amino-CMSN with significant lower haemolysis ratio than CMSN was better for the minimum haemolytic behaviour. Oral bioavailability and anti-inflammation effect of IMC delivery systems established by CMSN and Amino-CMSN were enhanced compared with IMC, which was attributed to the primary cause of the improvement of IMC dissolution, and Amino-CMSN exhibited better biological effect. As a result of these facts, it is believed that the effective delivery of IMC by Amino-CMSN will provide a new candidate to formulate poorly soluble drugs so as to significantly develop pharmaceutical application.

description: Beltrami-shaped graphene sheets have been recently proposed as analogs of curved spacetimes with Hawking-Unruh effects detected through typical condensed matter measurements involving scanning tunneling microscopes and spectroscopy. However, such deformed sheets, if ever fabricated, will contain large strain-induced pseudomagnetic fields with important guiding effects on the motion of the electrons in the conduction band. Besides, possible surface polariton and plasmon modes are known to be important players in the radiative heat transfer which takes place in the natural near-field nanoscale experimental conditions. Therefore, we suggest here that the latter class of experiments could shed light on phenomena related to the black hole membrane paradigm instead

description: The explosive growth of internet traffic, fueled by an ever increasing availability of mobile wireless devices and demands of end users to be always connected, provides a challenge for cellular and broadband wireless access technologies. In this thesis, we present novel approaches of physical layer architectures Orthogonal Wavelet Division Multiple Access (OWDMA) & Fast Inverse Square Root based Matrix Inverse (FISRMI) that is shown to substantially improve bit error rate (BER), increase data rate, accommodating more number of users, low power consumption and cover dead zones effectively. The work presented in this thesis consists of basically two parts which provides solutions to different problems in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. In LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), heterogeneous networks (HetNet) concept using centralized coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmitting Radio resources over optical fibers LTE-A Radio-Over-Fiber (ROF) has provided a feasible way of satisfying user demands. A OWDMA processor architecture is proposed and evaluated. To validate the architecture, circuit is designed and synthesized on a Xilinx vertex-6 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). We compare our architecture with similar available architectures for resource utilization & timing and provide performance comparison with OFDMA for different quality metrics of communication systems. The OWDMA architecture is found to perform better than OFDMA for BER performance versus signal to noise ratio (SNR) in ROF media. It also gives higher throughput and mitigates the bad effect of Peak to Average Power ratio (PAPR) and Inter carrier interference (ICI). Secondly, a low complexity and high speed matrix inversion algorithm FISRMI using fast inverse square root based on QR-decomposition and systolic array was designed. Matrix operations are costliest computational module within multiple input multiple output (MIMO)-LTE receivers. The capital expenditure (CAPEX) is reduced by implementing a 4x4 matrix inverse in Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA by optimizing the module for speed and power by pipelining. The results are compared with state of art techniques of Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC) based algorithms and the various Minimum Mean Squared Error channel matrices of size 4x4 and 8x8 are inverted at different bit precision on a BER plot.

description: The relation between the Poisson and Schrödinger equation in one dimension is obtained through a simple transformation. It is pointed out that this analogy between both equations can be only applied for potentials that involve a combination of attractive and repulsive delta function potentials. This relationship enables us to use elementary electrostatic results to find the exact solution of the associated quantum bound state problem in one dimension. Particularly, the result shows that it is possible to trap a single electron in a one dimensional ionic crystal.

Holotype. ♂, BRAZIL: Pernambuco: Caruaru, v.1972, J. Lima, Malaise trap (MZSP; not examined). The specimen has not yet been returned to the MZSP, so was unavailable for study.
Species recognition. We have examined two specimens that appear to be of this species, based on the drawing of the hind femur in the original description. Borgmeier & Prado (1975) did not, however, mention the enlarged foretarsomeres, so this identification is tentative.
This species is distinctive for its small basal group of peglike setae and the shape of the more distal concavity.
Description. Body length: 1.75–1.88 mm. Head: Frons dark brown, second row of setae slightly concave. Flagellomere 1 round, brown. Palpus of normal size, orange. Thorax: Scutum light brown. Scutellum brown, with 2 pairs of setae; anterior seta one-half length of posterior seta. Pleuron light brown. Mean costal length 0.51 wing length, range 0.51–0.52. Halter yellow. Legs yellowish-brown. Forecoxa in lateral view yellowishbrown. Foretibia with 4 dorsal setae. Foretarsomeres 1–3 enlarged, slightly inflated. Midcoxa brown. Hind coxa yellow. Hind coxal lobe light brown, short, decumbent. Posterior face of hind femur with small basal group of six peglike setae; more distally with ventral concavity with posterior carinate margin (Figs 55–56). Abdomen: Abdominal tergite 1 brown, tergites 2–6 yellow medially, anteriorly and posteriorly, dark brown laterally, with medial yellow area decreasing in every tergite posteriorly, dark brown predominating. Venter of abdomen yellow, with few setae, larger on posterior margin of segment 5. Male terminalia with epandrium yellowish-brown, hypandrium brown, and cercus yellow.
Distribution. Argentina, Brazil.

Understanding and analysing time-correlated stochastic signals in pulsar timing

description: Although it is widely understood that pulsar timing observations generally contain time-correlated stochastic signals (TCSSs; red timing noise is of this type), most data analysis techniques that have been developed make an assumption that the stochastic uncertainties in the data are uncorrelated, i.e. "white". Recent work has pointed out that this can introduce severe bias in determination of timing-model parameters, and that better analysis methods should be used. This paper presents a detailed investigation of timing-model fitting in the presence of TCSSs, and gives closed expressions for the post-fit signals in the data. This results in a Bayesian technique to obtain timing-model parameter estimates in the presence of TCSSs, as well as computationally more efficient expressions of their marginalised posterior distribution. A new method to analyse hundreds of mock dataset realisations simultaneously without significant computational overhead is presented, as well as a statistically rigorous method to check the internal consistency of the results. As a by-product of the analysis, closed expressions of the rms introduced by a stochastic background of gravitational-waves in timing-residuals are obtained. Using $T$ as the length of the dataset, and $h_c(1\rm{yr}^{-1})$ as the characteristic strain, this is: $σ_{\rm GWB}^2 = h_{c}(1\rm{yr}^{-1})^2 (9\sqrt[3]{2π^4}Γ(-10/3) / 8008) \rm{yr}^{-4/3} T^{10/3}$.

Hawking radiation as perceived by different observers (ERE2011 proceedings)

description: We study the perception of Hawking radiation by different observers outside a black hole. The analysis is done in terms of an effective-temperature function that varies along the trajectory of each observer. The vacuum state of the radiation field is chosen to be non-stationary, so as to mimic the switching-on of Hawking radiation that would appear in a real black hole collapse. We analyse how this vacuum is perceived by observers staying at a fixed radius, by observers coming in free-fall from radial infinity at different times, and by observers in free-fall released from finite radial positions. Results found have a compelling physical interpretation. One main result, at first unexpected, is that in general free-falling observers do perceive particle emission by the black hole when crossing the event horizon. This happens because of a diverging Doppler shift at the event horizon.
