Spectrum sensing based on capon power spectral density estimation
… we propose a spectrum sensing based on the Capon Power Spectral Density (PSD) estimation method. The proposed method estimates the received PSD, and uses it to identify free and busy channels. A cooperative spectrum sensing approach is also introduced. The goal is to solve the common hidden …

Randomly Spaced Smart Antennas
… randomly spaced antenna configurations; such as Capon and MUSIC for direction of arrival, and LMS, normalized LMS, leaky LMS, generalized normalized LMS, RLS and variable forget- ting factor RLS algorithms for the adaptive beamforming. The advantages and disadvantages of smart antennas based on …

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of the Kibdelones
… of aromatic polyketides reported in 2006 by Capon and co-workers. These compounds possess potent antibiotic and cytotoxic activities and operate via an unknown and potentially unique mode of action. In order to fully investigate these properties the kibdelones were targeted for total …

Legitimacy and Continuity in The Horn: A Conceptual Analysis of Alex de Waal’s Political Marketplace
In this dissertation I critically engage with Alex De Waal’s understanding of the nature of legitimacy in the Horn of Africa and the concept he formulates to understand it and explain political behaviour in the Horn: the political marketplace. Through this process of critical engagement, I clarify …

Applied stochastic eigen-analysis
… Cox, on the distribution of the outputs of the Capon-MVDR beamformer when the sample covariance matrix is diagonally loaded. The second part of the dissertation investigates the limiting distribution of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a broader class of random matrices. A powerful method is …

Total Synthesis of the 2-Nitropyrrole Natural Product Heronapyrrole C
… sample collected off Heron Island (Australia) by Capon and co-workers. It belongs to the exceptionally rare family of nitropyrrole natural products, known examples of which are limited to the 3-nitropyrrole pyrrolomycin class of Streptomyces antibiotics. It is also one of the first documented …

Adaptive stable finite-element methods for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations
Many problems involving fluid flow can now be simulated numerically, providing a useful predictive tool for a wide range of engineering applications. Of particular interest in this thesis are computational methods for solving the problem of compressible fluid flow around aerodynamic configurations. …

Working memory and human reasoning : an individual differences approach
Experiments 1-3 investigated the relationship between working memory and syllogistic and five-ten-n series spatial inference. A secondary aim was to replicate the findings of Shah and Miyake (1996) who suggested the use of separate central resources of working memory for spatial and verbal ability. …

Unattended acoustic sensor systems for noise monitoring in national parks
… estimation using a wideband extension of the Capon beamforming algorithm. This algorithm was also implemented on the EMS in order to provide real-time DOA estimates for the detected sources. This algorithm was partitioned into several stages with some stages implemented in custom logic while …

Ultrasonic array imaging for multi-layer materials in non-destructive testing applications.
… beamforming technique, the MUSIC method, and the Capon algorithm in order to image a multi-layer medium. These aforementioned three algorithms are traditionally applied for a homogeneous medium where the sound velocity is constant in the material under test. Numerical simulations as well as …

High-resolution source imaging with bio-inspired sensing systems
Source localization is ubiquitous in nature. It is a survival skill in many species to help them find food, avoid predators, or navigate. For example, blind cave fish use their lateral lines to swim in dark water by sensing flows, weakly electric fish generate an electric field to detect electric …
