The features of the Masters of Science in Telecommunication systemsprogram at the University of Oklahoma (OU)-Tulsa, are discussed. The program requires all student to complete a minimum of 32 credit hours, including a professional project. The program was created, under the aegis of the School of Electrical and Computer engineering, to produce engineering graduates in telecommunication-related fields. In addition to the common core coursework, students are required to complete 12 hours of technical elective coursework with Telecommunication systems (TCOM) and computer engineering.

Reinforcement Learning is a branch of machine learning to learn control strategies that achieve a given objective through trial-And-error in the environment. Because this can be applicable even when the state transition function of the control object is unknown or it is difficult to create its model properly, this can reduce the designer's burden. Reinforcement learning repeats evaluating a policy and improving it based on that evaluation. An algorithm called value function approximation is used in this evaluation. Value function approximation is a general term for algorithms of approximating a function called value function, which maps an arbitrary state to how much reward can be obtained in the future when acting according to a policy from that state. Value function approximation should have high approximation accuracy and hyperparameter easy to tune. Although various value function approximation methods have been proposed so far, some of them does not have convergent guarantee and the others' hyperparameter tuning is difficult. The purpose of this paper is to propose a value function approximation method that have convergence guarantee even with nonlinear function approximator and whose hyperparameter tuning is easy and to verify its performance through numerical experiments. To this end, we focused on GTD2 method, which is one of the value function approximation methods that has convergence guarantee even with a nonlinear function approximator. GTD2 method has the drawback that its hyperparameter is difficult to tune appropriately so that the approximation does not diverge during learning. Therefore, we firstly clarified the cause of the divergence of GTD2 method. Secondly, based on this cause, we proposed Normalized and Regularized GTD2 (NRGTD2) method, that incorporates a method for suppressing divergence into GTD2 method. Finally, through numerical experiments, it was clarified that the proposed method suppresses the divergence and can achieve better approxim

In this study, CdS thin films were produced in a quasi-closed volume using two different techniques (classical and cryogenic thermal evaporation techniques) between the 100–573 K substrate temperature, and their characteristic properties (structural, electrical, and optical properties) were investigated. While CdS thin films were produced at 373 K, 473 K, and 573 K substrate temperatures in the classical technique (hot), they were produced at 100–300 K substrate temperature range with 50 K steps in the cryogenic technique (cold). The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the CdS thin films grew in a hexagonal structure in the (002) plane at all substrate temperatures. According to the field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images, the thin films produced at 200 K substrate temperature consisted of equally sized spherical grains. This situation shows that the soliton growth mechanism occurs at a substrate temperature of 200 K during the film production process with the cryogenic technique. Due to the characteristic properties of the soliton waves occurring on the substrate surface in the soliton growth mechanism (mass transport), the films grow in a tight-packed form. Therefore, the produced films consist of clusters of equal size, providing a homogeneous surface and a uniform thickness. In addition, Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and optical analyses showed that the CdS thin film produced at 200 K substrate temperature had the smallest average surface roughness value (Ra) and the highest optical transmittance value. It was found that the energy band gap (2.37–2.47 eV) and resistivity (1.25 × 103–5.39 × 103 Ω-cm) values of CdS thin films increased with decreasing substrate temperature. The carrier density increased with decreasing substrate temperature (3.91 × 1017–1.73 × 1016 cm−3). Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis showed that the films grew stoichiometrically at substrate temperatures of 473 K and 200 K. The results brought out tha

Beryllium-copper alloys, the most widely used copper alloys, are utilised extensively in diverse sectors, including the electrical, electronics, instrumentation, metallurgy, aerospace, automotive, petrochemical, machinery manufacturing, and die and mould-making industries. The main drawback of these alloys is that they produce the toxic component, beryllium oxide, which can lead to a chronic lung disease known as berylliosis. Beryllium-free copper alloys, such as copper-nickel-silicon-chromium, are eco-friendly, less costly, and possess properties similar to those of beryllium-copper alloys. Hence, they are now replacing beryllium-copper alloys in the applications mentioned earlier. Due to their high strength and hardness, these alloys are often fabricated into components using unconventional machining techniques, such as electrical discharge machining. Electrical discharge machining is particularly advantageous in industrial applications where precisely controlled random surface textures on these alloys are required. However, despite the industrial significance, research on the electrical discharge machining process of copper-nickel-silicon-chromium alloys is scarce. Therefore, the current work aims to address this research gap by conducting an experimental investigation of the random surfaces generated on copper-nickel-silicon-chromium alloy components after the die-sinking electrical discharge machining process through a comprehensive three-dimensional surface topography analysis. Three-dimensional surface topography parameters overcome the drawbacks of two-dimensional roughness parameters by considering the majority of surface points. This work investigates the effects of input factors, including electrode material, dielectric fluid material, flushing condition, and current on nearly all relevant areal texture (3D) parameters. ANOVA is performed to study the level of significance of each input parameter. The regression analyses reveal that current is the most si
