    • Fresnel Lens Characterization for Solar Concentration Efficiency 
      Hallam, Mark; Harris, William (2014-09-17)
      Due to the inexpensive and light weight nature of Fresnel lenses, they are key components in many solar energy concentration systems. Thus, the ability to effectively characterize Fresnel lenses over large areas is essential ...
    • High Resolution MRI of Spinal Cords 
      Yu, Xiangdong; Li, Peng (2014-09-02)
      Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a common injury in incorrect sitting position, sports and car accidents. Noninvasive imaging methods play a critical role in diagnosing SCI and monitoring the response to therapy. Magnetic ...
    • High-Throughput Microfluidic Acoustic System to Generate Yeast Cells for Aging Studies 
      Krenek, Keith (2013-09-25)
      The mechanisms and causes of aging, the greatest risk factor of disease, are poorly understood. For aging at the single-cell level, this lack of knowledge results from limitations in the methods traditionally used in cell ...
    • Improvements in Low Field MRI 
      Ogier, Stephen E (2013-02-01)
      The world of clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is presently dominated by multi-million dollar machines that use large superconducting magnets to generate very high quality images. It is possible to perform MRI at ...
    • Instruction Prefetchers and Cache Replacement Policies 
      Christian, Alex; Chapa, David
      Processing speeds are determined by how many instructions per cycle (IPC) a CPU can execute. However, the CPU’s clock cycle and the number of cores are only one factor for a CPUs performance. A key bottleneck that restricts ...
    • Intelligent Solar Mapping Tool 
      Adepoju, Adekunle (2014-09-22)
      The goal of this thesis is to develop an overall cost effective methodology for regional tracking and measuring solar patterns and intensities, for use in solar concentration. The idea is to create a system that is modular, ...
    • Interconnected Financial Prediction using Time-Series and Network Data 
      Huffman, Maxwell A (2021-05-10)
      The digital technology age has created an unprecedented production and consumption of data. With this surge, data-analytics have become increasingly important in industries that can generate value based on predictive models: ...
    • Iterative Collision Resolution in Wireless Networks 
      Stuckman, Katherine Christine (2013-03-29)
