General Direction Routing Protocol
The General Direction Routing Protocol (GDRP) is a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) multi-path routing protocol which abstracts localization information (commonly GPS coordinates) into relative direction information in order to perform routing decisions. By generating relative direction information …

Cognitively-inspired direction giving
… units make it easy to get very detailed driving directions. While these directions are sufficient for an automaton to follow, they do not present a big picture description of the route. As a result, while people can follow these detailed turn-by-turn directions, it can be difficult for them to …

Adding direction to a directionless world
… context referred to as orientation. Based on directional antennas and previous work in RSSI based radio distance estimation, this work shows that using directional antennas alone, the angle between two devices can be approximated. Furthermore, this thesis shows the effect of distance …

Natural design in search of direction
Laotse has said, "Man's loss of his original nature comes from the distractions of the material world acting through the five senses.”1 That we have not regained our original nature is self-evident. Our society indicts us; its works convict us. We have become slaves to the extent that we have …

Cortico-thalamic interactions for head direction coding
… environments and correct for error, head direction (HD) representations must be flexible. However, the circuit mechanisms and dynamics underlying how HD is modulated are largely unknown. Retrosplenial cortex (RSC) is a key region for spatial cognition and exhibits dense interconnection …

Direction of arrival estimation using antenna arrays
… this thesis is to design, build and evaluate a direction-of-arrival measurement system using an antenna array operating at 2050 MHz. The first phase of the project is an extensive study of various high resolution DOA estimation algorithms. The algorithms studied include subspace-based techniques …

Selectivity for Movement Direction in the Human Brain
… our mobile phone. The processing of movement direction is fundamental to efficiently reach the target object. Many neurophysiological studies reported neuronal populations selective for movement direction in many regions of the monkey brain. In my thesis, I investigated which areas in the …

The Sleeper Effect: an Alternative Direction For Investigation
As revealed by research in 1949, the sleeper effect is the increased attitude change of individuals over a period of time when compared to attitude change immediately after listening to a message. During the intervening years between the initial studies and the present day, the sleeper effect has …
