Gradient-Based Distributed Model Predictive Control
The thesis covers different topics related to model predictive control (MPC) and particularly distributed model predictive control (DMPC). One topic of the thesis is gradient-based optimization algorithms for solving the optimization problem arising in DMPC in a distributed manner. The underlying …

Hydrologic Evaluation of Low Impact Development Using a Continuous, Spatially-Distributed Model
… watershed monitoring, continuous, spatially-distributed hydrologic modeling was judged a better method to compare the response of LID, forest, and conventional development. Review of available models revealed EPA-SWMM 4.4H as the most applicable to the task. A 4.3-acre subwatershed of a local …

Distributed model predictive control based consensus of general linear multi-agent systems with input constraints
… on elaborating consensus protocol design, via model predictive control (MPC), under two different scenarios: (1) general constrained linear MASs with bounded additive disturbance; (2) linear MASs with input constraints underlying distributed communication networks. In Chapter 2, a tube-based …

Small -Signal Distributed FET Modeling
This dissertation focuses on developing a distributed field-effect transistor (FET) small-signal model that is accurate from do to 110 GHz for a wide range of bias conditions. The distributed model is intended to be compatible with a large-signal implementation. The distributed model performance is …

Leader election and renaming with optimal message complexity
Asynchronous message-passing system is a standard distributed model, where n processors communicate over unreliable channels, controlled by a strong adaptive adversary. The asynchronous nature of the system and the fact that t<n2 processors may fail by crashing are the great obstacles for designing …

Neural activity in the posterior thalamus and hippocampus during time interval discrimination in rats
… an important event. Currently it is unclear what model of timing best describes temporal processing across seconds and minutes timescales in tasks with different response requirements. Two general models have been described how the passage of time is perceived. One emphasizes that the judgment of …

Substructure Synthesis Analysis and Hybrid Control Design for Buildings under Seismic Excitation
… for base isolation and active control in a distributed model of a building under seismic excitation. Our objective is to show that passive and active control complement each other in such an advantageous manner for the case at hand, that simple devices for both types of control are …

Applying epoch-era analysis for homeowner selection of distributed generation power systems
… from centralized energy generation to a more distributed model has opened a number of choices for homeowners to provide their own power. While there are a number of systems to purchase, there are no tools to help the homeowner determine which system they should select. The research …

A Study of Access Control for Electronic Health Records
… possibly using mechanisms such as Bell-LaPadulla Model, The Strawman Design, Public/Private Key algorithms, or other methods. The first goal would be to create this structure for a single entity (e.g., One Hospital, Clinic, or Doctor’s office) and then progress to a distributed model where …

Flow estimation for stream restoration and wetland projects in ungaged watersheds using continuous simulation modeling
… a parsimonious conceptual continuous simulation model. In this study the Probability Distributed Model (PDM), was generalized for the Maryland and Virginia Piedmont. Two hundred and sixty years of daily average flow data from fifteen watersheds were used to calibrate PDM. Because the application …
