Low-voltage switched-capacitor circuits

Creator:: Bidari, Emad
Abstract:: In recent years, the rapidly growth of CMOS technology has evolved towards submicron and deep-submicron features. Due to smaller device sizes, and significant demand for low-power designs, the maximum allowable power supply voltage is restricted. So far, two solutions; clock boosting and switched opamp schemes have been proposed. The material...

Optimizing Placement of Weather Stations: Defining and Testing a Meaningful Objective for Multi-Variable Weather Monitoring Networks

Creator:: Snyder, Amelia M.
Abstract:: As the number of weather stations declines globally, ensuring that meteorological monitoring networks efficiently and effectively monitor weather variables becomes increasingly important. Multi-variable weather sensors are becoming more widely available and make monitoring weather phenomena more economical. However, when seeking an optimal spatial distribution of these stations, choosing an objective...

Flow-Solute : A Tool for Exploring the Effects of Nitrogen Management in Alternative Future Scenarios

Creator:: Wentworth, Andrew Michael
Abstract:: Surface water quality is a growing concern in the Willamette River Basin and elsewhere. The region's growing population is dependent on the availability of clean water for drinking water, irrigation, wastewater dilution, and wildlife habitat. Watershed management to produce economic goods and environmental services requires an understanding of basic hydrologic...

Calibration, characterization, and linear quadratic Gaussian estimation of sensor feedback signals for a novel ocean wave energy linear test bed

Creator:: Haller, Christopher A.
Abstract:: Continual growth of the world's energy consumption and the demand for long-term clean renewable energy resources has led to the development of ocean-based wave energy technologies. Emerging technologies are advancing potential solutions to the complex problem of energy generation in the harsh and corrosive ocean environment. To develop these technologies,...

Consumer perceptions of apparel products in Internet shopping

Creator:: Kim, Mi-Jung
Abstract:: The purpose of the present study was to determine consumer perceptions of apparel products in Internet shopping. According to the existing literature, four categories of perceptions play primary roles for apparel shopping consumer decisions: apparel appearance, apparel comfort, fabric characteristics, and apparel fit. The present study aimed to observe how...

Two-grid a-priori and a-posteriori error analysis for coupled elliptic and parabolic systems with applications to flow and transport problems

Creator:: Klein, Viviane
Abstract:: We develop several a-priori and a-posteriori error estimates for two-grid finite element discretization of coupled elliptic and parabolic systems with a set of parameters P. We present numerical results that verify the convergence order of the numerical schemes predicted by the a-priori estimates. We present numerical results that verify the...

Revenue-based spectrum management via Markov decision process

Creator:: Zhu, Pingan
Abstract:: We consider the problem of wireless spectrum management in cognitive wireless networks that maximizes the revenue for a spectrum operator. Specifically, we study the problem on how a wireless spectrum operator can optimally allocate its limited spectrum to various classes users/devices who pay differently for their spectrum per unit time....

Renewal risk processes with stochastic returns on investments : a unified approach and analysis of the ruin probabilities

Creator:: Constantinescu, Corina D.
Abstract:: This thesis considers one of the classical problems in the actuarial mathematics literature, the decay of the probability of ruin in the collective risk model. The claim number process N(t) is assumed to be a renewal process, the resulting model being referred as the Sparre Andersen risk model. The inter-claim...

Hybrid Multiscale Methods with Applications to Semiconductors, Porous Media, and Materials Science

Creator:: Costa, Timothy B.
Abstract:: In this work we consider two multiscale applications with tremendous computational complexity at the lower scale. First, we examine a model for charge transport in semicon- ductor structures with heterojunction interfaces. Due to the complex physical phenomena at the interface, the model at the design scale is unable to adequately...

Why cosplay? Motivations behind participation and use of social media among cosplayers who maintain Facebook Artist Pages

Creator:: Kane, Laura E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to explore motivations behind participation in cosplay and the use of social media among cosplayers who maintain Facebook Artist Pages. Further focus was placed on investigating the role of Facebook Artist Pages in building fame. To explore such motivations, two theories were referenced: Deci...
