Design techniques for high intermediate frequency bandpass (sigma/delta) modulator.
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The focus of the present thesis is the circuit-level implementation of an excess
loop delay compensation scheme which optimizes excess loop delay in Analog-to-Digital Converter(ADC) by using a programmable delay block and ...
Toward an understanding of the possibility of a religious leap in Kierkegaard's a literary review
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In his work A Literary Review, Kierkegaard bemoans much about "the present age" and in the text he presents an extremely bleak picture of the potential for one to
live an authentically religious life. However, he also ...
Measurement and analysis of BitTorrent
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
BitTorrent is assumed and predicted to be the world's largest Peer to Peer (P2P)
network. Previous studies of the protocol mainly focus on its file sharing algorithm,
and many relevant aspects of the protocol remain ...
Improvements in communication complexity using quantum entanglement
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Quantum computing resources have been known to provide speed-ups in computational complexity in many algorithms. The impact of these resources in communication, however, has not attracted much attention. We investigate the ...
Eternal recurrence and nature
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Nietzsche has often been interpreted as the champion of heroic, self-sufficient
individuals, who manage to fashion some order out of the raw material of Nature
through the exercise of free will. On the face of things, ...
Towards a characteristic equation for permeability
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The characterization of reservoir permeability (k) remains the elusive challenge in reservoir engineering.
This work considers prior developments in an evolutionary sense, and, as with prior work, our goal is the
development ...
PRISE: petroleum resource investigation summary and evaluation
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
As conventional resources are depleted, unconventional gas (UG: gas from tight
sands, coal beds, and shale) resources are becoming increasingly important to U.S and
world energy supply. The volume of UG resources is generally ...
Camera-based Texture Mapping: An Approach for Creating Digital Environments with Foreground Forms Using 2d Paintings
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This thesis develops the method of using textures projected from the perspective
of a projection camera, in combination with two-dimensional paintings and threedimensional
models, to create digital environments. Past uses ...
A mathematical model for air brake systems in the presence of leaks
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This thesis deals with the development of a mathematical model for an air brake
system in the presence of leaks. Brake systems in trucks are crucial for ensuring
the safety of vehicles and passengers on the roadways. ...
Presentation of self and the personal interactive homepage: an ethnography of MySpace
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Erving Goffman's dramaturgical perspective sees the world as a stage and social actors as the players (1959). Social actors partake in a series of dramatic performances to accomplish a certain stable social self. This idea ...
