Differentiae in the Cantus Manuscript Database: A Cross-Manuscript Analysis
(2019-08-19)The differentia standardization project for the Cantus Manuscript Database enables previously unfeasible comparisons of 159 manuscripts from the tenth to the seventeenth centuries containing a total of 129,526 antiphons ... -
DIFFERENTIAL CODE SHIFT REFERENCE IMPULSE RADIO ULTRA-WIDEBAND TRANSCEIVER: BIT ERROR RATE TESTS AND PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS
(2015)Impulse radio is a wireless communication technique in which ultra-short pulses in the range of nano-seconds are used for the transmission of information. These ultrashort pulses spread over the radio frequency spectrum ... -
Differential Code-Shifted Reference Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wideband Receiver: Signal Strength Adjustment and Implementation
(2014-05-02)IR-UWB is a wireless system, which sends information data with pulses that have rapid rising and falling time and very short duration of nanosecond or less. However, due to varying communication channel conditions, amplitude ... -
Differential Code-Shifted Reference Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wideband Receiver: Timing Recovery and Digital Implementation
(2012-08-15)Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a wireless system which transmits signals across a much wider frequency spectrum than traditional wireless systems. The impulse radio (IR) UWB technique uses ultra-short duration pulses of nanoseconds ... -

Digital Content Addressable Memory and Time Domain Content Addressable Memory Usage in BCH Decoder
(2024-04-04)This thesis presents a comprehensive exploration of the application of Content Addressable Memory (CAM) in the context of a BCH decoder. The research investigates both digital and time domain implementations to assess their ... -
A Digital Health based Personalized Chronic Disease Risk Assessment and Mitigation Platform for Citizen's Lifetime Health
(2017-12-15)Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Early risk assessment, monitoring and mitigation at the individual level can significantly prevent the onset of most chronic diseases. Lifetime health is an emerging ... -
A DIGITAL HEALTH BASED PERSONALIZED PREOPERATIVE PATIENT EDUCATION SYSTEM FOR PATIENTS UNDERGOING TAVI SURGERY
(2017-12-08)Personalized Patient education is a critical factor in the healthcare service delivery as it contributes to better management of diseases and ultimately enhanced clinical outcomes. TAVI is a standard cardiac procedure for ... -
DIGITAL ILLITERACY AS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS: THE SPREAD OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
(2021-12-16)This thesis investigates the linkages between the conspiracy theories that proliferated online during the COVID-19 pandemic and digital illiteracy. To explore this link, this thesis is guided by the following question: How ... -
Digital Map Based Navigation System For Autonomous Vehicle with DGPS Localization
(2012-09-06)Autonomous Vehicles (AV) can navigate itself from point `A' to point `B' without the aid of humans. Research on autonomous vehicles were primarily focused on the localization, navigation and path planning schemes. This ... -
