The Method of Exergy Multipliers: A new approach to exergy analysis of thermal systems
Trevas, David Alexander; Trevas, David Alexander - 1989
This work introduces the Method of Exergy Multipliers. Having asserted the utility of the exergy concept, this method aims to streamline the calculation procedures used in exergy analysis and its study. The method defines the exergy multipliers of a given process in terms of ratios of the work,...

Turbulence modeling and simulation and related effects on helicopter response with wake dynamics using finite elements and parallelism.
Dang, Ying Yi. - Florida Atlantic University
Future helicopters will require all-weather capability for stabilized flight through severe atmospheric turbulence. This requirement has brought into focus the effect of turbulence on handling qualities. Accordingly, there is renewed interest in modeling and simulating turbulence and predicting...

PARAMETER ESTIMATION FOR THE GENERALIZED GAUSSIAN NOISE MODEL
VARANASI, MAHESH KUMAR; VARANASI, MAHESH KUMAR - 1987
The primary objective of this study is to propose an estimator of the parameters of the generalized Gaussian noise model with desirable asymptotic properties, namely, asymptotic consistency and asymptotic efficiency. Three estimators are proposed and analyzed. The relative merits and demerits of...

Dyadic decision trees
Scott, Clayton; Scott, Clayton - 2004
This thesis introduces a new family of classifiers called dyadic decision trees (DDTs) and develops their theoretical properties within the framework of statistical learning theory.First, we show that DDTs achieve optimal rates of convergence for a broad range of classification problems and are...

Machine Learning with Dirichlet and Beta Process Priors: Theory and Applications
Paisley, John William - 2010
Bayesian nonparametric methods are useful for modeling data without having to define the complexity of the entire model a priori, but rather allowing for this complexity to be determined by the data. Two problems considered in this dissertation are the number of components in a mixture model,...

Identification of impulsive interference channels
Zabin, Serena M. - 1989
In this work, the problem of optimum and near-optimum identification of the parameters of the Middleton Class A impulsive interference model is considered. In particular, under the assumption of the availability of a set of independent samples from the Class A envelope distribution, the problems...
