Modeling of an Urban Radiocesium Pathway from Catchment to Wastewater Treatment Sludge

Creator:: Ng, George M. H.
Abstract:: The urban hydrology and hydraulics program, US EPA SWMM 5, has been coupled with a compartment model of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the system dynamics software, STELLA, to simulate the radiocesium pathway from urban catchment to the wastewater treatment sludge. Two literature case studies were re-examined. Firstly, a...

A Cosmic-ray Muon Tomography System for Safeguarding Dry Storage Casks

Creator:: Liao, Can
Abstract:: Because of the growth of the nuclear power industry in the United States and the policy to ban reprocessing of commercial spent nuclear fuel, the spent fuel inventory at commercial reactor sites has been increasing. With the Yucca Mountain project on hold, more spent fuel is expected to be stored...

Design and modeling of low-power register file memories

Creator:: Donkoh, Eric Kwesi
Abstract:: With the evolving popularity of new computing platforms such as Ultrabooks, Tablets, and Smart Phones, and the shift to multi-core computing, power is now the key performance limiter, a departure from the traditional frequency limitation. As such, increasingly low-power design solutions feature prominently in early architectural and design space exploration...

Performance enhancement techniques for low power digital phase locked loops

Creator:: Elshazly, Amr
Abstract:: Desire for low-power, high performance computing has been at core of the symbiotic union between digital circuits and CMOS scaling. While digital circuit performance improves with device scaling, analog circuits have not gained these benefits. As a result, it has become necessary to leverage increased digital circuit performance to mitigate...

Lateral fluid motion in nucleate boiling through asymmetric surface structures

Creator:: Kapsenberg, Florian
Abstract:: This thesis presents a feasibility study of a means to passively effect liquid motion parallel to a heated surface though surface geometrical modifications. Such a passive system is beneficial for electronics cooling applications as it reduces the pumping equipment normally required in flow loops and is desired for space applications,...

The design, use and implementation of digital radiation detection and measurement equipment for the purpose of distance instruction

Creator:: Vasquez, David C.
Abstract:: Digital Instrumentation and Detection is becoming the future of radiation detection and measurement. Computers are able to perform digitally what before would have taken an extensive array of analog equipment. The art of teaching radiation detection and measurement is following this same pattern of a shift from purely analog to...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

A novel method for zinc oxide nanowire sensor fabrication

Creator:: Pelatt, Brian D.
Abstract:: Interest in nanomaterials is motivated partly by their potential for sensor arrays to detect different gases. Nanowires in particular are of interest because their high surface-to-volume ratio promises the possibility of high sensitivity. However, because of their discrete quasi-one-dimensional geometry, electrical integration of nanowires into photolithographically defined devices and circuits...

Efficient RF energy scavenging and ultra-low power management for powering wireless sensor nodes

Creator:: Arumugam, Vikrant P.
Abstract:: As the demand for real-time information in engineering and health care systems keeps increasing, the need for wireless sensor nodes is also continuously increasing. As a result, the cost and effort involved in installing and maintaining batteries to power the numerous sensor nodes is growing exponentially. Providing a cost effective...

Scaling analysis for the pebble bed of the very high temperature gas-cooled reactor thermal hydraulic test facility

Creator:: Nelson, Benjamin L.
Abstract:: The Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) has two possible core configurations, a hexagonal prismatic and a pebble bed. It is essential that an experimental facility be built for the validation of computer codes for the safe operation of the VHTR. The scaling of the prismatic core configuration has been analyzed...

Radioxenon generation using highly enriched uranium

Creator:: Elliott, Anthony James
Abstract:: This work focuses on the generation and collection of four specific radioxenon isotopes; xenon-131m, xenon-133m, xenon-133 and xenon-135. These nuclides are created by fissioning a highly enriched uranium sample using a thermal neutron source from a university research reactor. The three main aspects of this work include: (1) Conducting preliminary...
