The University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPRM) , is a land-grant, sea-grant, space-grant state university established in 1911. Today, UPRM is a fully accredited, bilingual, and non-sectarian institution with approximately 12,500 (11,511 undergraduates, 836 master, and 153 doctoral) students and 797 faculty members. It is the second-largest campus of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) system comprising the Colleges of Agricultural Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, and Engineering. The first includes the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Agricultural Extension Service. During the last decade the university moved from a teaching-only to a research and teaching institution.
The UPRM is well known for its science, technology engineering and agricultural programs, the quality of students and faculty, and a profound sense of collegiality.

Algoritmos de Dithering con tiempo de procesamiento reducido
(2016)En esta investigación se trabajó con el algoritmo Pendiente Máxima (SD o Steepest Descent, por sus siglas en inglés) para hallar una señal de dither (señal aleatoria) que hace que el ruido de cuantización (diferencia entre ... -
Algorithms for image classification using wavelets and fusion methods
(2005)This work presents a set of algorithms for feature extraction and image classification using wavelet transform and fusion methods. First we use wavelet transform as a feature extraction method. We present some basic ... -
Implementation of a phased array antenna using digital beamforming
(2005)This work presents the design of a transmitter/receiver Digital Beamformer (DBF) based on the mathematical model of a far-field plane wave incident on a sensor array. Simulations of a DBF transmitter and receiver are ... -
A switched opamp comparator to improve the conversion rate of low-power low-voltage successive approximation adcs
(2005)The continued drive toward technology scaling in VLSI design has provided greater integration levels in silicon chips. Thanks to the reduction in minimum feature size and the corresponding decrease in power supply voltage, ... -
Risk assessment of an electric power system using intelligent power routers
(2005)We seek to determine the reliability of Intelligent Power Routers (IPR) and the reliability change of an electric power system (PS) operated with and without IPR. The IPR is our module to provide scalable coordination in ... -
Ice water content and reflectivity retrieval from cirrus clouds using millimeter-wave radar and in-situ ice crystal airborne data
(2005)Data collected in March 2000 during the Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Cloud Intensive operational period (Cloud IOP) at the Cloud and Radiation Testbed (CART) site in Lamont, Oklahoma ... -
Material type and soil moisture determination based on radar response
(2005)Ground Penetrating Radar, GPR, is a widely used tool for probing the sub-surface in such applications as pavement monitoring, humanitarian de-mining, and exploratory geophysics, among others. Its advantage lies in that it ... -
Design and implementation of a transceiver and a microstrip corporate feed for solid state x-band radar
(2005)The design of a corporate feed for an X band frequency scanned microstrip antenna array and a surface mount transceiver are presented. The power distribution generated by the corporate feed network is based on a Taylor ... -
Guidance and monitoring of liquid-filled tubes using time domain acoustic reflectometry
(2005)Time domain acoustic reflectometry is proposed in this research as a method to detect atherosclerosis, estimating the location and extension of arterial obstructions by determining what is ahead of the catheter tip (“forward ... -
Comparative framework for service reliability in electric distribution systems
(2005)Reliability indices are becoming the cornerstone for a liberalized energy market, and the main component of performance based rates (PBRs). Yet, comparison of reliability indices from intrinsically different systems provides ... -
Measuring vegetation health using ground penetrating radar and its correlation with data from spectral radiometer
(2005)Changes in vegetation can affect our health, the environment and the economy. Understanding this, twenty years ago scientists began to use satellite remote sensors to monitor major fluctuations in vegetation and understand ... -
Hyperspectral change detection using temporal principal component analysis
(2005)This work deals with the detection of changes using hyperspectral images. Change detection is the process of automatically identifying and analyzing regions that have undergone spatial or spectral changes from multi temporal ... -
Determination of favorable conditions for the development of a wind power farm in puerto rico
(2005)Development of a wind farm in the east coast of Puerto Rico has the potential of being an attractive economic proposal. This is so because the best wind resource of Puerto Rico is located on its east shore. Reliable wind ... -
Determining noise in hyperspectral imagery for the application of oversampling to supervised classification
(2005)A hyperspectral sensor imager has many (~200) contiguous spectral bands. It is this number and bandwidth of spectral bands that defines the spectral resolution of a sensor. In general, having a greater number of spectral ... -
Design of a reconfiguration controller for a dc zonal distribution system
(2005)The use of DC Zonal System (DCZEDS) is evaluated as a potential simulation testbed for self-reconfigurable control research in electric power distribution systems. The DCZEDS is a SIMULINKTM implementation of a Ship DC ... -
