An analog CMOS circuit realization of cellular neural networks with transconductance elements is presented in this thesis. This realization can be easily adapted to various types of applications in image processing by ...

Exercise electrocardiography (the exercise ECG test or the stress EGG test) is one of the most popular and the most important non-invasive diagnostic tests in the field of cardiovascular disease. Arrhythmia analysis is ...

Simulation of low-probability events may take extremely long times since they occur very rarely. There are various variance reduction methods used to speed up simulations in such cases. In this thesis, a new variance ...

This thesis is concerned with the selection of connection weights of Hopfield neural network model so that the network functions as a content addressable memory (CAM). We deal with both the discrete and the continuous-time ...

Observers cire used to estimate the states of dynamiccil systems whenever are not available through direct measurements. Although the design of linear observers is a well-developed branch of control theory, its counterpart ...

In this thesis, the digital video encoder-decoder parts of an American HDTV system proposal, DigiCipher^^'^ is simulated in an image sequencer, based on the system description sheets. Numerical and subjective performances are ...

In the first part of this thesis, the application of dither for controlling chaotic systems is presented. Dither is a high frequency periodic signal that has been excunined in the literature before, for changing nonlinear ...

In this thesis, implicit finite difference beam propagation method based on Crank Nicholson discretization procedure is implemented and applied to the analysis of propagation of optical beams in an orthogonal bend and a ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the measurement of potential differences occurring on the body due to the currents that flow on the heart during diastole and systole. Cardiac abnormalities cause uncommon current flows, leading ...
