The construction of a low-cost and reliable array antenna system is required to facilitate the practical use of the adaptive antenna in the mobile communication field. The array antenna system can be verified by DOA (Direction of Arrival) estimation. This dissertation describes the attempt to achieve a high-precision adaptive antenna and the examination of this device, which suppresses the numb...

In this work, we propose a generic approach to collection of performance data for heterogeneous component-based applications with the aim to provide easier and less costly access to performance data needed for measurement and model-based performance analysis of component applications. The technical foundation for the approach is built on generic solutions to various aspects of performance data ...

Postgraduate research education is multi-faceted incorporating the teaching of a range of skills and study behaviours. A key skill for doctoral students is that of scholarly writing that Aitchison (2009) argues is often difficult to teach, with students unclear about the standards required for doctoral work. One benchmark of standards of academic literacy is published outputs, with Kamler (2008...

A dumbbell-shaped rigid body can be used to represent certain large spacecraft or asteroids with bimodal mass distributions. Such a dumbbell body is modeled here as two identical mass particles connected by a rigid, massless link. Equations of motion for the five degrees of freedom of the dumbbell body in a central gravitational field are obtained. The equations of motion characterize three orb...

A real is called c.e. if it is the halting probability of a prefix free Turing machine. Equivalently, a real is c.e. if it is left computable in the sense that L(α) = {q ∈ Q : q ≤ α} is a computably enumerable set. The natural field formed by the c.e. reals turns out to be the field formed by the collection of reals of the form α− β where α and β are c.e. reals. While c.e. reals can only be fou...
