Parameter sensitivity of acoustic propagation in models of curved fronts over uniform slopes
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)A modification of the sloping bottom curved front model including continuous sound speed variation is examined for the importance of front width. Analysis of parameter sensitivity in the idealized front is used as a baseline ... -
Parameterization for some multiscale problems in biology and turbulence
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-05) -
Parametrization of enhanced transport in meso-scale oceanic turbulence through non-Gaussian stochastic flow models
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-12) -
Parasite labs: laboratory protocols of do-it-yourself biology
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-12)I seek to answer three questions about DIY biologists: how do they affirmatively refigure what it means to be a scientist; how do they differentially reproduce the contents and contexts of laboratories; and how do they ... -
Partial discharge from selected streams - I
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1971-06) -
Participatory storytelling and the new folklore of the digital age
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-08)This dissertation asserts that the internet and widespread digital media have provided a place for storytelling that was not present in the age where television was the dominant provider of narrative, and that the type of ... -

Particles in fluids : from the synthesis, properties and applications of micro-emulsions, Janus particles to microrheology
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)Particles at fluid interfaces can also be engineered to obtain smart materials such as "Janus" particles or particles which have "two faces" by virtue of differences in their surface chemistry and composition giving rise ... -
Particulate sulfate and nitrate ambient air concentrations in remote watersheds
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1981-05) -
Passive quenching electrical model of silicon photomultipliers (SSPMs)
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-08)SSPM detectors can be studied and improved through electrical modeling of the diode and readout circuit to simulate, characterize, and predict their response for different geometries and configurations. An electrical model ... -
Passive radar detection and imaging using low-rank matrix recovery
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-05)The objective of this thesis is to develop passive radar imaging methods in an optimization framework that utilize prior information. Passive radar relies on transmitters of opportunity such as commercial television, ... -
Passive synthetic aperture radar imaging of ground moving targets
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an imaging technique that uses antenna motion and spatial diversity to coherently combine received waveforms and form images of a scene of interest. This thesis focuses on the SAR problem ... -
