  • Defining PAH and Oxygen-substituted PAH-dependent Developmental and Adult Toxicity in Zebrafish

    Creator:
    Knecht, Andrea L.
    Abstract:
    Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxygen-substituted PAHs (OPAHs) are environmental contaminants present in urban air, dust, soil and water resulting from incomplete combustion of organic materials or fossil fuels; found in crude oil and coal; and formed through photoxidation or biotransformation of microbial. It is widely recognized that PAHs pose...

  • Case studies : Using the zebrafish to evaluate neurobehavioral phenotypes

    Creator:
    Garcia, Abraham, Truong, Lisa, Johnson, Eric, Tanguay, Robert L., and Knecht, Andrea
    Abstract:
    The use of zebrafish in behavioral neuroscience is rapidly growing. Zebrafish can be assessed for alterations in multiple behavioral endpoints, creating opportunities to use this powerful model to identify chemicals that alter behavioral phenotypes. To evaluate the utility of zebrafish for neurotoxicity research, we designed custom instrumentation to evaluate numerous...

  • Modeling and Design of Interconnects and Passive Components for Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits in Silicon

    Creator:
    Zheng, Lei
    Abstract:
    For mmWave Integrated Circuit (IC) design, co-integration of passives can reduce size and power consumption, increase reliability, and reduce overall cost. However, skin and proximity effects in the metallization are aggravated at mmWave frequencies, resulting in increased attenuation and degradation of overall performance. Furthermore, tight integration of passive components (to...

  • Enabling metal-fill-aware design of integrated circuits

    Creator:
    Shilimkar, Vikas S.
    Abstract:
    In advanced integrated circuit (IC) processes, the metal fill inserted to meet foundry imposed density requirements degrades the performance of interconnects and passive components which ultimately affects the overall circuit performance. Accounting for this degradation through electromagnetic and equivalent circuit modeling is becoming a critical aspect of IC design. However,...

  • An Interactive Tool for Teaching Transmission Line Concepts

    Creator:
    Scheible, Keaton
    Abstract:
    In college transmission lines courses, students are expected to understand how different circuit configurations affect the signals on a transmission line. Having a way to visualize these signals can greatly improve their learning experience. This thesis details the development of an open source, interactive learning tool used to illustrate fundamental...

  • The Ocean Circulation and Carbon Cycle during the Last Glacial Maximum

    Creator:
    Muglia, Juan
    Abstract:
    During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, ∼ 21 ky before present) the atmospheric CO2 concentration was about 100 ppm lower than its pre-industrial (PI)value. The missing carbon from the atmosphere must have been stored in thedeep ocean during this period, but the mechanisms driving such re-distribution ofthe carbon cycle are...

  • Then and Now : Asserting Anishinabek Identity Through Indigenized Apparel

    Creator:
    Southall, Neebinnaukzhik
    Abstract:
    The work deals with the subject of designing for Native Americans. The first part of the project broadly examines the field of graphic design as it relates to Native Americans, discussing the lack of Native voices in graphic design, what designing for Native Americans can entail, the role of Native...

  • Equivalent circuit modeling of on-chip magnetic devices based on terminal measurements

    Creator:
    Gaskill, Steven G.
    Abstract:
    The addition of thin-film alloy magnetic materials to integrated circuit processing enables a number of novel monolithic circuits. Examples include fully integrated magnetic field sensors, signal and power galvanic isolation circuits, and power supplies on chip (PwrSoC). There are several benefits to integrating these traditionally off-chip devices, including improved manufacturability,...

  • Model development via delay extraction for the time-domain simulation of lossy transmission lines.

    Creator:
    Blevins, Chris
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents two new approaches for the broadband, time-domain modeling of lossy transmission lines. Each approach is based on an alternative derivation of delay extraction in order to separate the line's linear phase from its attenuation and dispersion. Augmentation networks represent the derived attenuation networks as rational function approximations....

  • Electrical recommendations and formulas for metal fill in radio-frequency integrated circuits

    Creator:
    Gaskill, Steven
    Abstract:
    With increasing transistor operating frequencies, interconnects and passive devices are becoming performance limiters in integrated circuit (IC) designs. To combat this, the interconnect layers above the active silicon are trending toward low-κ dielectrics and Cu metallization. The use of these new materials has popularized chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to planarize...
