This report gives the information about the noise study of shoulder and transverse rumble strips on rural highways. There are two case studies on two different kind of rumble strips. Case study- I is on shoulder rumble strips, where noise of the vehicles are recorded when vehicl…
Crosstalk noise has become a critical design and verification challenge for high-performance integrated circuits in deep submicron technologies. This thesis addresses crosstalk noise at methodological and algorithmic levels at various stages of the physical design flow. It propo…
This thesis surveys the sounds of everyday street and work life to argue for a reassessment of the way historians have understood community, space, materiality and identity in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century Germany and Britain. It will demonstrate that sound played …
This thesis presents a novel evolutionary optimisation algorithm that can improve the quality of solutions in simulation-based optimisation. Simulation-based optimisation is the process of finding optimal parameter settings without explicitly examining each possible configuratio…
This dissertation focuses on the novel delta-sigma modulator, called binary delta-sigma modulator, which is suitable for ultra high-speed Analog to Digital conversion in optical applications. A performance comparison of the binary delta-sigma modulator (BDSM) with the convention…
This dissertation attends to complaints about religion as noise. I draw on court records, archival sources, and oral histories to analyze three American legal case studies in which neighbors complained about religious sounds spilling over into public space: an 1877 dispute about…
Okula yeni başlayan bir çocuğun işitsel işlemleme becerisi, eğitimdeki başarısını doğrudan etkilemektedir. Ayrıca, insanların temel duyusu olarak işitme ve görme, sağlıklı iletişim sağlamak açısından büyük önem taşır. Öte yandan, işitme duyusu kişinin konuşma yeteneğinin oluşumu…
The reduction of noise and vibration in and across several components and modules of the automotive, such as the panels, doors, engine covers, seats, and others, is of primary importance. The NVH performance may be a crucial factor in the purchase decisions of numerous buyers. T…
Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, unilateral koklear implant kullanıcılarının ve bimodal koklear implant kullanıcılarının dinleme eforlarını karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirerek; bimodal koklear implant kullanıcılarında, bimodal işitmeyle sağlanan binaural uyarımın avantajları ve bu k…
In the Indian megacity of Mumbai, loudness is power. Over the last fifty years, politicians have emerged as the leading patrons of the exuberant music-oriented events comprising Hindu religious festivals. As sponsors of Hindu festival processions and other events, Mumbai’s polit…
This paper treats the connections between contemporary popular music and neoliberal ideology through a historical analysis and critique of digital music platforms, lo-fi, and EDM. Following the work of Byung-Chul Han and Philip Mirowski, I explore how the transformation of the d…
In the early 2000’s, The Mars Volta’s popularity among prog(ressive) rock fandom was, in many ways, a conundrum. Unlike 1970s prog rock that drew heavily on Western classical music, TMV members Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala routinely insisted on the integral impo…
This project seeks to address how silence, noise, and spectacles are represented in relation to foreclosing natural and economic systems and what they might signify as either fuel for, or a drain on, imaginative reverie in three main texts: Upton Sinclair’s Oil! (1927), Karen Ta…
Breast cancer frequently occurs in women over the world. It was one of the most serious diseases and the second common cancer among women in 2019. The survival rate of stages 0 and 1 of breast cancer is closed to 100%. It is urgent to develop an approach that can detect breast c…
Determining plate boundary kinematics and fault slip rates is critical to gaining an understanding of the seismogenic nature of the faults. The kinematics of plate boundaries vary widely and are a reflection of plate boundaries history, current tectonic regime, geology, and crus…
Many filmmakers have explored the sonic possibilities offered by experimental, avant-garde, and modernist music as it prospered in the mid-twentieth century. Fascinatingly, horror cinema, with all its eerie subject matter, has championed the use of experimental music in its film…
This thesis develops a topological approach to robustness to incorrect-incomplete models in MDPs and POMDPs, and applications of this study to approximations, model learning and reinforcement learning.
Data-driven methods have become ubiquitous across the engineering and applied sciences. In the petroleum sciences, a significant body of work has arisen applying such techniques to modeling and analysis of reservoir-scale data, but laboratory-scale data and applications have rec…
