Scaling Laws for Fixed-Wing Single-Engine Electric Propulsion Systems
(2021-05)
The rise of new aircraft propulsion methods (e.g., powered by batteries, fuel cells, or hybrid electric systems), the increased use of automated and integrated flight control systems, and the envisioned use of personal ...
Development of diagnostic tools and analysis of the density functional theory zoo.
(2021-05)
The main goal of this dissertation is to give an overview of existing and new databases for density functional theory (DFT). It describes the procedures used to introduce A Collection of Chemistry DataBases (ACCDB) and its ...
Design and Synthesis of Polymeric Metastable State Photoacid and Photo CO-Releasing Materials
(2021-05)
Metastable state photoacids (mPAHs) are molecules that possess a photoinduced metastable state with high acidity and good reversibility. The metastable state lasts long enough to ...
Flagellation Testing of Composite Finger Skirts for Surface Effect Ship (SES) Application
(2021-05)
The objective of this research is to create flagellation data for SES finger skirts. The SES design allows it to have a high tonnage with low draft, little drag, low wavemaking resistance, remarkable carrying capacity, and ...
Stability Results for Special Solutions of Scalar-Field Equations with Variable Coefficients
(2021-05)
We study the long-time behavior of general semilinear scalar-field equations on the real line with variable coefficients in the linear terms. In the first part of the dissertation, we take the coefficients to be uniformly ...
Over the Ocean RF Propagation Modeling and System Design for Wireless Broadband Systems
(2021-05)
The research presented in this document considers the development of a terrestrial wireless communication system for providing connectivity to vessels within coastal waters. The system operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band and ...
Timing Properties of Active Galactic Nuclei
(2021-04-28)
Timing properties of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are investigated primarily using archival data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite collected between 1996 and 2011. The main emphasis is to search for ...
Analysis and Uncertainty Reduction through Data Augmentation in Hurricane Risk Modeling in the State of Florida
(2021-05)
The Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model (FPHLM) and the Florida Public Flood Loss Model (FPFLM) project insurance losses due to hurricane events in the State of Florida from hurricane induced wind, rain, and flood. This ...
Analytical Airflow Solution of a Helicopter Engine Bay and Novel Bay Cooling Cowling Design
(2021-05)
The objective of this thesis is to develop an analytical-numerical solution for the engine bay cooling airflow in a representative helicopter based on the Augusta-Westland 101, and evaluate the performance of a novel ...
Ground Truth: Towards Labeling On-Demand IoT Traffic
(2021-05)
A lack of transparency has accompanied the rapid proliferation of Internet of Things(IoT) devices. To this end, a growing body of work exists to classify IoT device traffic to identify unexpected or surreptitious device ...
