Fast Algorithms for High Frequency Interconnect Modeling in VLSI Circuits and Packages
(2011-02-22)
Interconnect modeling plays an important role in design and verification of VLSI
circuits and packages. For low frequency circuits, great advances for parasitic resistance
and capacitance extraction have been achieved and ...
The Crisis of Masculine Space: the End of the Gentlemen's Club in British Modern Fiction
(2011-02-22)
At the beginning of the twentieth century, men occupied a contested and transitional space in British society. The effects of the women's movement, the Great War, and industrialization changed their life at home, at work, ...
The Function of the Lipoxygenase ZmLOX10 in Maize Interactions with Insects and Pathogens
(2011-02-22)
Lipoxygenase (LOX)-derived oxylipins are known to play critical roles in defense
against herbivores and pathogens. The objective of this study was to determine
the biochemical, molecular and physiological roles of a specific ...
Assessing the Impact of Groundwater Pollution from Marine Caves on Nearshore Seagrass Beds in Bermuda
(2010-01-14)
This investigation characterized karstic and nearshore environments of Bermuda
to describe 1) behavior and periodicity of cave springs; 2) submarine spring water
quality; and 3) nearshore marine seagrass density. Caves can ...
Robust Optimization of Nanometer SRAM Designs
(2011-02-22)
Technology scaling has been the most obvious choice of designers and chip
manufacturing companies to improve the performance of analog and digital circuits.
With the ever shrinking technological node, process variations ...
Effect of Omega 3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) on Markers of Inflammation in Young Horses in Training
(2011-02-22)
Sixteen horses (2 to 4 yr; 357 to 439 kg BW) were utilized in a randomized complete block design for a 140 d trial to determine effect of omega 3 PUFAs (n-3) supplementation on markers of inflammation in young horses in ...
High Temperature Leakage Performance of a Hybrid Brush Seal Compared to a Standard Brush Seal and a Labyrinth Seal
(2010-01-14)
Adequate sealing in turbomachinery reduces secondary leakage and results in more efficient and stable systems. Labyrinth seals are most common, although brush seals are popular in specialized applications. The Hybrid Brush ...
Investigation of Swirl Flows Applied to the Oil and Gas Industry
(2010-01-16)
Understanding how swirl flows can be applied to processes in the oil and gas industry and how problems might hinder them, are the focus of this thesis. Three application areas were identified: wet gas metering, liquid ...
Evaluation of Acid Fracturing Using the Method of Distributed Volumetric Sources
(2010-01-14)
Acid fracturing stimulation is one of the preferred methods to improve well productivity in carbonate reservoirs. Acid is injected into the fractured zone after a starter fracture is created in the near wellbore area by ...
Reinforcement Learning for Active Length Control and Hysteresis Characterization of Shape Memory Alloys
(2010-01-16)
Shape Memory Alloy actuators can be used for morphing, or shape change, by
controlling their temperature, which is effectively done by applying a voltage difference
across their length. Control of these actuators ...
