- Description: Topic: Product Processing Technique for Antenna Arrays and Interferometry
Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A
Abstract:
Conventional array processing techniques utilize linear processing techniques to combine different signals from multiple array elements or tracks. In this project, a new product processing technique is proposed for both antenna arrays and interferometry. This new product processing technique is called the Antenna Product Processing (APP) technique for antenna arrays and Interferometric Product Processing (IPP) for SAR interferometry. The APP technique is shown to emulate the performance of a larger antenna array using measurements from a smaller antenna array. The proposed method uses measurements from smaller antenna arrays and produces Direction-of-Arrival estimates commensurate with results produced by linear processing of measurements from much larger antenna arrays. The IPP technique is shown to emulate the performance of a longer interferometric baseline with measurements from a smaller interferometric baseline. Simulations show that the proposed method may use smaller interferometric baselines and produce phase estimates commensurate with results produced by linear processing of measurements from much longer interferometric baselines. For separating scattering from multiple scattering centers, IPP performance is comparable to linear processing of measurements from much larger baselines. The sensitivity for APP and IPP techniques to noise is also investigated.
Note: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.

2017 MFA Thesis Exhibition
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Cost: FREE
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: The UMass Dartmouth 2017 MFA Thesis Exhibition is a much anticipated and celebrated annual event showcasing the artwork of graduating students from the College of Visual and Performing Arts in large-scale exhibition at the Star Store Campus in historic Downtown New Bedford. The opening reception is on Saturday, April 8, 3-5 pm and the artists talk on Thursday, April 13 at 7pm (AHA! Night).
Exhibiting artists:
Lisa A. Bryson
April Claggett
Heather Davis
Kate Dickinson
Yunjie Gao
Natasha Jabre
Andrew Laverty
Monica Lopes
Andrew Leo Stansbury
Marita Torbick
Hanna Vogel
Amanda C. Watkins
The creative work of 12 graduating students ranges from traditional media such as printmaking and painting to video, photography, book arts, mixed media work, sculptural objects as well as site-specific installation.
The MFA Thesis Exhibition's opening reception happens on the same day as the BFA Senior's Exhibition, taking place up the street at the New Bedford Art Museum/ArtWorks! Having both shows within walking distance of each other amplifies the celebratory energy generated through artistic expression for the students, visitors, UMass Dartmouth, as well as for the entire community.
Selections from this exhibition will be shown at the Bromfield Gallery in Boston from May 31 through July 2, 2017, with an opening reception on Friday, June 2, 6:00 - 8:30 pm.

Research Component of Phd Qualifier Exam by: Patrick R. DaSilva
- Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A
- Cost: Free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: Topic: Electrocardiogram Collection, Pattern Recognition and Classification System Supporting a Cardiovascular Disease Detection Aid
Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room
Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A
Abstract:
The leading cause of mortality in the United States is heart disease. According to the CDC
Division of Vital Statistics, 26% of total death tolls (2,423,712) in 2007 were directly related to heart diseases. Preliminary 2009 data shows that this lethal disease continued to be the main cause of death for 598,607 Americans. Affected patients usually do not comprehend how their disease progress because they are not given the proper training upon hospital discharge to recognize how subtle changes have a large effect on their overall health. There is a financial strain on our healthcare system and it's important for patients to be knowledgeable in self-care in order to assess and take appropriate action before symptoms become intense.
Current mobile monitoring solutions do not offer the ability to recognize cardiac problems without the use of an outside technician. In support of cardiovascular disease detection aid set forth by Dr. Paul Fortier of UMASS Dartmouth, an attempt is made to perform pattern recognition and classification on a real-time electrocardiogram (EKG). The EKG is detected through the use of the Wavelet Transform and the rhythm is classified using an N-ary tree. The entire software platform is designed and developed in the C language. It's further loaded and tested on an Atmel microcontroller. Testing results showed that autonomous classifications are possible using a three lead system while the patient is at rest. Further research is required to compensate for muscle noise and motion artifacts, but the proposed classification method serves as a stepping stone towards a fully reliable teaching tool with the potential to serve as a solution to the current cardiovascular healthcare issue.

We invite the public to attend the opening reception and gallery talk on Wednesday, April 12 from 4pm -6pm. The public exhibition hours are Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. -4 p.m.
For more information, please contact:
- Dr. Anna Dempsey, adempsey@umassd.edu or
- Allison J. Cywin, acywin@umassd.edu
You can also call the gallery at 508-999-8550.
Making Her Mark is an exhibition highlighting late nineteenth-century paintings, illustrations, books, and sculptures by Rhode Island women artists and their contributions to the modernity narrative. The exhibition focuses on a group of women artists who were instrumental in the establishment of one of the first American art club, Providence Art Club, that excepted women as equal members, as active board members and as artistic colleagues. Over the course of the later half of nineteenth century women artists, such as, Rosa Peckham, Emily McGary Selinger, Helen Watson Phelps, Emma Swan, Charlotte Gilman, Mary C. Wheeler, & Sophia Pitman, along with other female artists, worked, traveled, and exhibited alongside their male contemporaries. Many of these women pursued opportunities to show their artworks in salons and galleries in both the United States and abroad, including Paris and London. These remarkable women, artists, suffragettes, art instructors, authors, and community leaders help form and contribute to the regional and national artistic and cultural conversation. The exhibition celebrates these women artists and recognizes their struggles as well as their accomplishments to the American history.
The exhibition is part of the capstone experience where students work in teams and apply their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. This is the 6th year that Dr. Anna Dempsey and Allison J. Cywin, art history professors, have directed a group of upperclassmen to execute a professional museum quality exhibition and publication. This student-run exhibition explores the definition of modernity and focuses on feminine artistic communities in Providence. This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Providence Art Club.
