Investigation into performance of IPV4 and IPV6 transition mechanisms and distributed NAT-PT implementation
… and implemented. In this thesis, we conduct TCP performance testing of three kinds of typical transition mechanisms. According to Our experiment results, each technique does induce performance decline, but their effect degrees are not uniform. Tunneling techniques generally present better …

Influence of direction and eccentricity on pro- and anti-saccade metrics
… not occur in the pro-saccade, which may produce performance differences between pro- and anti-saccade metrics. We were interested in exploring these differences to gain insight on the mechanism of the sensorimotor transformation of the anti-saccade and to uncover any directional biases in …

Design and Validation of A High-Power, High Density All Silicon Carbide Three-Level Inverter
… system should keep high efficiency to avoid performance reduction. Moreover, the motor drive should be designed within limited space without sacrificing output power rating. Based on the road map from US Drive Electrical and Electronics Technical Team, US Department of Energy, a gap is still …

Dense, sonar-based reconstruction of underwater scenes
… lower than that of differential GNSS. This performance reduction shifts the accuracy burden to inertial navigation systems (INS), often aided by Doppler velocity logs. Still, the pose estimates of an aided INS will incur in unbounded drift growth over time, often necessitating the use of …

Adaptive polarization mode dispersion equalizers for coherent optical communications systems
… between consequent symbols, leading to performance reduction of the coherent systems. In order to compensate for the PMD, we use adaptive linear PMD equalizers. Due to the dynamic and random nature of PMD, it is crucial for a system designer to efficiently simulate the PMD-induced outage …

Development of a process modelling methodology and condition monitoring platform for air-cooled condensers
… to its low water consumption. Unfortunately, ACC performance is susceptible to changing ambient conditions, such as dry bulb temperatures, wind direction, and wind speeds. This can result in performance reduction under adverse ambient conditions, which leads to increased turbine back pressures and …
