The increasing demand for wireless connectivity and the scarcity of spectrum for exclusive use have popularized the idea of multiple communication systems to share spectrum.

This thesis is about using statistical methods for performance and power estimation which would allow us to develop better scheduling algorithms and also more energy efficient systems. 

Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (b-TBI) is regarded as the ‘signature injury’ of modern violent conflict. It has been repeatedly linked to numerous neuropathologies, which are common among military personnel and Veterans. 

Data visualization provides a human-digestible interface to digital data. With increasing data volumes and increased complexity and interrelationships, so have the demands on supporting effective visualization to support this interface. With complex data at scale, it becomes necessary to summarize the data in some manner to communicate high-level information of a dataset, such as distributions, trends, or anomalies. 

River bridge scour is an erosion process in which flowing water removes sediment materials (such as sand, rocks) from a bridge foundation, river beds and banks. As a result, the level of the river bed near a bridge pier is lowering such that the bridge foundation stability can be compromised, and the bridge can collapse.
