This dissertation presents an incremental analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with digital digital-to-analog converter (DAC) mismatch correction. A theoretical time-domain analysis technique was developed to predict the no ...

Tibial stress fractures are common in runners. However, it is unclear what factors are associated with tibial stress fractures. This study aimed to investigate 1) magnitudes of bone contact forces occurring while runni ...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this research was to quantify the effects of a warm-up with static or dynamic stretching on countermovement jump height, reaction time, muscle onsets for tibialis anterior (TA) and vastus laterali ...

Chronic hepatitis B disproportionately affects Asian Americans. Although Asians make up only 4.2% of the total United States (U.S.) population, they account for more than half of those infected with hepatitis B. If lef ...

Manual wheelchair propulsion is a physiologically stressful and biomechanically inefficient form of locomotion. The repetitious nature of propulsion puts wheelchair uses at high risk for developing upper extremity overus ...

This thesis presents new, compact configurations for RF/microwave bandstop and lowpass filters for embedded passive applications. A simple design methodology is presented for designing the folded-transmission line filter ...

Domain-independent automated planning is concerned with computing a sequence of actions that can transform an initial state into a desired goal state. Resource production domains form an interesting class of such probl ...

Female athletes exhibit three- to six-fold greater incidence of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury relative to their male counterparts. The increased risk appears to stem from interactions between severa ...

An ultra low power crystal oscillator that provides a frequency reference for battery powered timekeeping applications is presented. An amplitude control circuit is employed to ensure that minimum current is consumed. A ...
