Optical quantum random number generation: applications of single-photon event timing
… SPAD is active, a secondary ‘false’ detection event, or ‘afterpulse’ can occur. To lower the afterpulse probability to reasonable levels (< 1%), we attempted to reduce the amount of avalanche charge by halting its growth promptly with high-speed electronics, so that defects have a lower …

Multimodal speech recognition with ultrasonic sensors
… and spectrogram peak location vs. acoustic event timing as convenient features. Next, we devised ultrasonic-only phonetic classification experiments to investigate the ultrasound's abilities and weaknesses in classifying phones. We found that several acoustically-similar phone pairs were …

Event-Based Control and Estimation with Stochastic Disturbances
This thesis deals with event-based control and estimation strategies, motivated by certain bottlenecks in the control loop. Two kinds of implementation constraints are considered: closing one or several control loops over a data network, and sensors that report measurements only as intervals (e.g. …

Immigrant Mothers--American Daughters: Context and Meaning of Relationships
… structural positions, assignment of meaning to events, and cultural beliefs and practices. In addition, life course theorists punctuate the relevance of event timing on individual and familial growth and they seek to understand adaptive life patterns. Family scholars and gerontologists espouse …

The inefficiency of open-loop fMRI experiments
… roles are not well understood. Until recently, event related fMRI experiments used to study the DMN could only be conducted in an open-loop format. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the potential statistical advantages of real-time fMRI studies to conduct closed-loop experiments to …

Detection of safety signals in randomised controlled trials
… severity, and duration of patient adverse events are routinely recorded during randomised clinical trials. This data is used by a trial's Data Monitoring Committee to make decisions regarding the safety of a treatment and may lead to the alteration or discontinuation of a trial if real …

Modelling timing in blood cancers
… genetic and epigenetic alterations at different timing in their development, resulting in the formation of heterogeneous cell populations which interact and compete with each others inside tumours. At later stages, by escaping the immune system and acquiring malignant properties, some cancer …

UHF RFID Antenna Impedance Matching Techniques
… automated toll booth fee systems, sports event timing, restricted access control, pet monitoring and retail theft prevention. An RFID tag includes an antenna connected to a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC). RFID tags in the ultra-high frequency (UHF), industrial, scientific and …

Characterization of black walnut (Juglans nigra) cultivars for agroforestry systems
… week of May. Tree architecture and phenological event timing were also measured to determine potential causative factors of differences observed. The impact of this research may help growers interested in walnut alley cropping with cultivar selection and management practices for effective …
