Performance Evaluation of IPv6 and the Role of IPsec in Encrypting Data
(2019-05)Objectives This research concentrates on IPv6 security and its technical aspects. The performance of IPv6 has carefully evaluated, tested, and analyzed. Beyond comparing IPv4 and IPv6 in terms of security, this thesis ... -
Encryption Algorithms for Data Security in Local Area Network
(2019-05)Cryptography plays an important part in data and information security. An overview of cryptography is given in the paper. This paper tries to compare most commonly used encryption algorithms RSA and AES, with their ... -
Generalized Random Measures on Topological Spaces
(2019-05)Our work deals with classes of random measures on σ-compact Hausdorff spaces perturbed by stochastic processes. We render a rigorous construction of the stochastic integral of functions of two variables and show that ... -
Bioprinting of 3D Perfusable Structures Using an Extrusion-Based System
(2019-06-14)Bioprinting is a technique of creating 3D cell laden structures by accurately dispensing biomaterial to form complex synthetic tissue. Bioprinting is a process of additive manufacturing where the cell functionality and ... -
Effect of Thermal Treatments on Mechanical Properties and Bioactivity of Third Generation of Bioactive Glass. A step for commercialization success of third Generation Bioactive Glasses
(2014-12)Unavailability of donors for transplanting bone to help people with orthopedic imparities gave rise to the metal implants that could be made in factories. This seemed like a good solution as it was available to all the ... -
Electrochemical Fabrication of Elastin-Containing Bi-Layered Scaffold for Vascular Tissue Engineering Applications
(2019-06)Lack of a viable vascular graft for the replacement of diseased small diameter blood vessels (< 4 mm) has encouraged the development of a self-repairing tissue engineered vascular graft (TEVG) as a promising alternative ... -
Qualitative Analysis of the Nonlinear Double Degenerate Parabolic Equation of Turbulent Filtration with Absorption
(2019-05)The goal of the dissertation is to pursue qualitative analysis of the mathematical model of turbulent polytropic filtration of a gas in a porous media with reaction or absorption described by the second order nonlinear ... -
A Probabilistic Approach to Generating Representative Wind Forcing and Wave Heights within an Estuarine Environment
(2019-05)While wind driven waves affect erosion, sediment resuspension, and flow in shallow estuaries like the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), neither winds nor waves are well observed in this environment. In order to calculate accurate ... -
Deep Space Radiation Shelter through Magnetic Shielding
(2019-05)As human space exploration begins to reach beyond Earth for the first time in 50 years, we must prepare for the eventuality of long-duration missions outside the protection of Earth's magnetic field. In interplanetary ... -
Application of the Gradient Projection Method to an Optimal Control Problem in Quantum Biology
(2019-05)Quantum biology is an emerging field which seeks to understand and analyze the effects of quantum mechanical phenomena on biological systems. One such phenomenon is the formation of radical pairs, compounds which exist ... -
Formal Trust Architecture For Assuring Trusted Interactions In the Internet of Things
(2019-05)The Internet of Things (IoT) has provided a flexible platform for a large number of heterogeneous devices to dynamically join and leave the network. This enhances the availability of a diverse range of services provided ... -
The Making of the Modern Airport Executive: Causal Connections Among Key Attributes in Career Development, Compromise, and Satisfaction in Airport Management
(2004-05)The purpose of this study was to identify specific career development attributes of contemporary senior-level airport executives and to evaluate the relationship of these attributes to the level of satisfaction airport ... -
A GIS-BASED SYNTHESIS OF RELICT SHORELINES IN PENINSULAR FLORIDA
(2019-04)A literature review as well as a consultation with a geomorphologist, Dr. Christopher P. Williams, at the Florida Geological Survey (FGS) were both performed in order to understand the state of knowledge on relict ... -
Design and Analysis of Fiber Reinforced Concrete Structure for Transportation Infrastructures
(2019-05)Concrete is one of the most popular materials in superstructures (buildings), substructures (foundation) and infrastructure facilities (bridges, pavements, and tunnels). However, concrete is a brittle material that cracks ... -
Calibration of the RapidScat Microwave Brightness Temperature
(2019-05)NASA RapidScat is the first satellite scatterometer that flown in non-Sun-synchronous orbit. Its unique orbit enabled collocated measurements with multiple satellite remote-sensing instruments that usually fly in ... -
RapidScat Backscatter Measurements Calibration
(2019-05)Scatterometers are microwave radars deployed to estimate global wind speeds and directions over sea surface by measuring Normalized Radar Cross Section (σᵒ) of the sea. Measured is determined by the sea surface roughness ... -
Evaluation of Bond Properties between Fiber Reinforced Concrete Overlay and Substrate Concrete
(2018-12)Bonded concrete overlay is the most economical and quick option in concrete rehabilitation methods to provide strength for the existing structure. Bonded concrete overlay strength rely on properties of both layers ... -
