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...
The predicted effects of climate change call for methods to assess the performance of agricultural systems across economic, environmental, and social dimensions over different spatial and temporal scales. For research and development to have an impact on system efficiency, potential impacts of climate change and adaptation strategies need to be...
3D laser scanning has been used extensively in engineering reconnaissance surveys to capture perishable data in an efficient, reliable, and precise manner. Many insights on damage can be obtained from the data through various methods of post-processing; however, many of these techniques are often labor intensive. This delay reduces the...
