Adaptive Reliability Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Using Nondestructive Testing
(2011-08-08)
There has been increasing interest in evaluating the performance of existing
reinforced concrete (RC) bridges just after natural disasters or man-made events
especially when the defects are invisible, or in quantifying the ...

(2011-08-08)
Today, the advances in Complementary MetalOxideSemiconductor (CMOS)
technology have guided the progress in the wireless communications circuits and
systems area. Various new communication standards have been developed to ...
Blocker Tolerant Radio Architectures
(2013-11-26)
Future radio platforms have to be inexpensive and deal with a variety of co- existence issues. The technology trend during the last few years is towards system- on-chip (SoC) that is able to process multiple standards ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Gd5Si2Ge2-Al Composite for Automobile Applications
(2011-08-08)
This thesis research synthesizes a new class of composite materials and investigates their properties, performance, and potential applications. The new materials that are multi-phase and multifunctional are considered for ...
Methods for Rapid Estimation of Motor Input Power in HVAC Assessments
(2011-08-08)
In preliminary building energy assessments, it is often desired to estimate a motor's input power. Motor power estimates in this context should be rapid, safe, and noninvasive. Existing methods for motor input power ...
Development of an Algal Optical Density Sensor
(2013-10-07)
Algae, which are high in lipids productivity and photosynthesis rate, have the potential to be one of the major sources for large scale biodiesel production due to the lack of the fossil fuel. Optical density (OD) which ...
A Qualitative Examination of the History of E-Extension (eXtension), Implementation of Moodle (A Course Management System) and Associated Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats
(2011-08-08)
According to research by Tennessen, PonTell, Romine and Motheral (1997), the Extension System has been educating the nation for over 96 years, and the idea of using technology as a medium for education has been in the minds ...
Parameter Estimation of Dynamic Air-conditioning Component Models Using Limited Sensor Data
(2011-08-08)
This thesis presents an approach for identifying critical model parameters
in dynamic air-conditioning systems using limited sensor information. The expansion
valve model and the compressor model parameters play a crucial ...
Performance Analysis of a New Ultrasound Axial Strain Time Constant Estimation
(2011-08-08)
New elastographic techniques such as poroelastography and viscoelasticity
imaging aim at imaging the temporal mechanical behavior of tissues. These techniques
usually involve the use of curve fitting methods as applied to ...
Synthesis of Novel Polypeptide-Silica Hybrid Materials through Surface-Initiated N-carboxyanhydride Polymerization
(2011-08-08)
There is an increasing demand for materials that are physically robust, easily recovered, and able to perform a wide variety of chemical functions. By combining hard and soft matter synergistically, organic-inorganic hybrid ...
