CMOS RF front-end design for terrestrial and mobile digital television systems
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
With the increasing demand for high quality TV service, digital television (DTV) is
replacing the conventional analog television. DTV tuner is one of the most critical blocks
of the DTV receiver system; it down-converts ...
Exact polynomial system solving for robust geometric computation
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
I describe an exact method for computing roots of a system of multivariate
polynomials with rational coefficients, called the rational univariate reduction. This
method enables performance of exact algebraic computation ...
Ethylbenzene dehydrogenation into styrene: kinetic modeling and reactor simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
A fundamental kinetic model based upon the Hougen-Watson formalism was
derived as a basis not only for a better understanding of the reaction behavior but also
for the design and simulation of industrial reactors.
Kinetic ...
Characterization and applications of microfluidic devices based on immobilized biomaterials
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Microfluidic biosensors and bioreactors based on
immobilized biomaterials are described in this dissertation.
Photocrosslinkable hydrogel or polymeric microbeads
were used as a supporting matrix for immobilizing E.coli ...
Surface spectroscopic studies of mono- and bimetallic model catalysts
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation is focused on understanding heterogeneous bimetallic
catalysts using model catalyst systems, such as Pd-Au/Mo(110), Pd/Au(111) and
Pd/Au(100). Monometallic and bimetallic model catalysts, composed of Pd ...
Electronic structure of dimetal bonded systems: ditungsten, dimolybdenum and diruthenium systems
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation investigates three topics in the field of multiple-bonded metal chemistry.
The first topic concerns the synthetic and theoretical considerations of ditungsten
formamidinates and guanidinates compounds. ...
Control of cell division by nutrients, and ER stress signaling in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Cell cycle progression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells was monitored in
continuous cultures limited for glucose or nitrogen. The G1 cell cycle phase, before
initiation of DNA replication, did not exclusively expand when ...
Characterization of asphalt concrete using anisotropic damage viscoelastic-viscoplastic model
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation presents the integration of a damage viscoelastic constitutive
relationship with a viscoplastic relationship in order to develop a comprehensive
anisotropic damage viscoelastic-viscoplastic model that is ...
Stress reduction as a link between aerobic activity and academic performance experienced by undergraduate women through the use of the Student Recreation Center at Texas A&M University
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between aerobic activity and academic performance through stress reduction using a student recreational facility. Research indicated that learning in college ...
Enhancement of a fluorescent sensor for monitoring glucose concentration in diabetic patients
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The need for overnight and continuous monitoring of glucose levels in diabetic
patients is profound, especially among juveniles. Implantation of a chemical assay
which responds optically to changes in glucose concentration ...
