Scheduling Task With State -Dependent Deadlines
This thesis then considers the general case when a job may have more than one feasible interval. Such a job is constrained to execute from start to completion in one of its feasible intervals. The problem of meeting the timing constraint of such jobs is divided into three problems: feasible …

Information Theoretic Limits of State-dependent Networks
… the information theoretic limits of two types of state-dependent models in this dissertation. These models capture a wide range of wireless communication scenarios where there are interference cognition among transmitters. Hence, information theoretic studies of these models provide useful …

Task allocation policies for State Dependent queues
… otherwise. Formal methods for task management in state-dependent dynamical queues are gathering increasing attention to improve the efficiency of such systems. The focus of this research is hence to design maximally stabilizing task release control policies to maximize the useful throughput of …

Stability of Agreement in State-dependent Interaction Environments
… conditions for a broad class of random, possibly state-dependent agreement processes to achieve stochastic agreement. We take the approach of applying Lyapunov drift criteria to study the behaviour of such processes. We generalize some results in the literature to the noisy and state-dependent …

Bayesian singular spectrum analysis with state dependent models
… may lead to degraded forecasts. In this thesis a state dependent model is proposed under the assumption that if a system moves from one homogeneous state to another rapidly that this transition may be tracked using a Bayesian model in which the state transitions are state dependent. In addition, …

The Interacting Multiple Models Algorithm with State-Dependent Value Assignment
<p>The value of a state is a measure of its worth, so that, for example, waypoints have high value and regions inside of obstacles have very small value. We propose two methods of incorporating world information as state-dependent modifications to the interacting multiple models (IMM) algorithm, …

CHARACTERIZATION OF FUNDAMENTAL COMMUNICATION LIMITS OF STATE-DEPENDENT INTERFERENCE NETWORKS
… a way as ``dirty interference'' or "noncausal state".</p> <p>Towards designing a dirty interference cancelation framework, my PhD thesis investigates two classes of information theoretic models and develops dirty interference cancelation schemes that achieve the fundamental communication …

A Comparison of ECS and Drug Induced State-Dependent Learning
The purpose of the present experiment is twofold: (a) to determine if FS and ECS or just ECS can be used as an agent to produce "dissociated" learning in a multi-trial procedure, and (b) if shown, to determine the effectiveness of these agents relative to three different dosages of sodium …

Incorporation of Corrosion Mechanisms into a State-dependent Probabilistic Risk Assessment
… This study was performed by developing a state-dependent risk model. The model has the capability of using traditional PRA tools such as event trees and fault trees to determine a state-dependent core damage frequency. Unlike traditional PRA, which emphasizes active components, this …

Assessment of State-Dependent Learning Effects Produced by Marijuana in Human Subjects.
Dissociative or state-dependent learning refers to a phenomenon characterized by a decrement in the retrieval of previously learned information when a special state present during acquisition is subsequently altered. This change in state is generally produced by a drug administered to the subject, …

Analysis and Real-Time Implementation of State -Dependent Riccati Equation Controlled Systems
Finally, experimental real-time control using SDRE is addressed. The plant used is the Pendubot, a two-link underactuated robot, which is a highly nonlinear 4th order system. The SDRE control is calculated by solving the Algebraic Riccati Equation online and the Pendubot is regulated at one of its …

Motivational State-Dependent Renewal of Operant Responding under Food and Water Deprivation States
Renewal and reinstatement are two different ways in which operant responding may recover following extinction. These and other forms of recovery following extinction have been described as relapse phenomena and demonstrate the context-specific nature of extinction learning. Most studies of relapse …

Starved State Dependent Modulation of Olfactory Receptor Neuron Function in Drosophila melanogaster larvae
… is often modulated by the animal's internal state such as hunger. The peripheral end of the olfactory circuit consists of first order olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), that synapse onto the second order projection neurons (PNs), and regulatory local neurons (LNs) that innervate ORNs and PNs. …

The nature and role of oxidation state dependent conformational differences in cytochrome c
… conformational differences between the oxidation states of cytochrome c. Using x-ray crystallographic techniques, the oxidized form of yeast iso-l-cytochrome c was solved and compared to the previously determined reduced state. The following differences between the oxidation states were …

The constrained discrete-time state-dependent Riccati equation technique for uncertain nonlinear systems
… synthesis framework using a special type of the state-dependent Riccati equation technique. The continuous time state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) technique is extended to discrete-time under input and state constraints, yielding constrained (C) discrete-time (D) SDRE, referred to as …

Investigating state-dependent pontine cholinergic activity during REM sleep and P-waves in vivo
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a behavioural state during which phasic deflections in pontine LFP, known as pontine waves (P-waves), occur most prominently. Cholinergic pedunculopontine and laterodorsal tegmental nucleus (PPT/LDT) neurons have been implicated in the generation mechanisms of both …

State-dependent changes in astrocyte regulation of extrasynaptic NMDA receptor signaling in neurosecretory neurons
Despite the long-established presence of glutamate NMDA receptors at extrasynaptic sites (eNMDARs), their functional roles remain poorly understood. Factors influencing the concentration and time course of glutamate in the extrasynaptic space, such as the topography of the neuronal–glial …
