Full-wave Surface Integral Equation Method for Electromagnetic-circuit Simulation of Three-dimensional Interconnects in Layered Media
(2011-08-08)
A new full-wave surface impedance integral equation method is presented for
three-dimensional arbitrary-shaped interconnect parasitic extraction in layered media.
Various new ways of applying voltage and current excitations ...
Radar Nowcasting of Total Lightning over the Kennedy Space Center
(2011-08-08)
The NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is situated along the east coast of central Florida, where a high frequency of lightning occurs annually. Although cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning forecasting using radar echoes has been ...
Hardware Accelerator for HMM Based Speech Recognition using Approximate Computing Techniques
(2015-08-19)
This thesis presents a hardware design for recognizing speech using phoneme-level Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and proposes two alternative designs using approximate computing techniques for area and energy optimizations. ...
Dielectric-Loaded Microwave Cavity for High-Gradient Testing of Superconducting Materials
(2011-08-08)
A superconducting microwave cavity has been designed to test advanced materials for use in the accelerating structures contained within linear colliders. The electromagnetic design of this cavity produces surface magnetic ...
Effects of Winter Overseeding and Three-demensional Clipping Management on Warm-season Turfgrasses
(2011-08-08)
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is commonly overseeded into hybrid
bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. X C. transvaalensis Burtt Davy] turfs during autumn
in the southern United States. Overseeding can provide ...
What Makes a Good Citizen? An Examination of Personality and Organizational Commitment as Predictors of Organizational Citizenship Behavior
(2011-08-08)
This study utilized the meta-theoretical framework developed by McCrae and Costa in 1996 that explains individual differences in human nature and the theory regarding the role of individual differences in task performance ...
Reduction of Perchlorate and Nitrate by Aluminum Activated by pH Change and Electrochemically Induced Pitting Corrosion.
(2011-08-08)
Highly oxidized species like perchlorate and nitrate that are released into the environment by anthropogenic activities are a source of concern as they have been known to contaminate groundwater. These species are extremely ...
Phenotypic Characterization of Self- Assembling Protein Fragments Using Negative Dominance
(2011-08-08)
Protein oligomerization provides a way for cells to modulate function in vivo. In this
study, self-assembling protein fragments from ParC, DnaX, and proteins of unknown
function were used to generate phenotypes in a ...
The Eighth Wife's Daughter
(2011-08-08)
This thesis explores, through fictional storytelling, the cultural duality of individuals inhabiting Singapore prior to World War II. The primary locale in many of these stories-an actual residence known as Eu Villa-interconnects ...
Barrier Layers of the Atlantic Warm Pool: Formation Mechanism and Influence on Weather and Climate
(2011-08-08)
The aim of this research is to study the formation mechanism of Barrier Layers
(BL) in the western tropical Atlantic and their influence on the tropical Atlantic
climate at both short and long timescales. Many Coupled ...
