  • Design and implementation of configuration modules in a programmable hardware-assisted cache emulator (PHA$E)

    Creator:
    Chalainanont, Nirut
    Abstract:
    Memory hierarchy design is becoming more important as the speed gap be- tween processor and memory continues to grow. Investigations of memory perfor- mance have typically been conducted using trace-driven emulation, which could take tremendous resources (e.g. long emulation time, large storage requirements for traces, and high overall cost). Recent...

  • Modeling and experimental verification of electric and magnetic fields generated by undersea power transmission cables

    Creator:
    York, Charles E.
    Abstract:
    As interest grows in developing devices to harvest energy from ocean waves, tidal currents, and offshore wind, concerns over possible environmental effects from such devices also grow. One such concern is over the induced electric fields and the generated magnetic fields from generators and their associated submarine power cables in...

  • Sliding Mode Control of Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converters

    Creator:
    Brown, Danielle R.
    Abstract:
    This thesis concerns the development of a direct torque control strategy using a sliding mode control approach to optimize the power output of an oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter (WEC). The OWC WEC is a device that has a submerged vertical tail tube open at both ends, which...

  • Adaptive digital transceiver for rayleigh fading channels

    Creator:
    Hughes, Jeffery R.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an adaptive modulation scheme using a Walsh-code modulator. The Walsh-code modulator consists of a dynamic demultiplexer and predetermined sets of orthogonal Walsh-Hadamard codes. The demultiplexer can demultiplex the input bit stream into a maximum of thirty-two sub-streams. The Walsh- Hadamard codes are used to spread the spectrum...

  • A tunable duty-cycle-controlled switched-R-MOSFET-C CMOS filter for low-voltage and high-linearity applications

    Creator:
    Xiao, Ying
    Abstract:
    A novel switched-R-MOSFET-C input branch is proposed for low-voltage and high-linearity applications. The tunability is achieved by varying the clock duty cycle using an automatic tuning circuit. This tuning method does not involve a change in gate voltage, and is therefore particularly suitable for low-voltage applications. The advantages of the...

  • A computer controlled robot analyzer for in situ water quality monitoring

    Creator:
    Birch, Kenneth Norman
    Abstract:
    A new, computer oriented system for automatic, in situ monitoring of water quality is proposed which makes full and effective use of modern computer technology. The main objective of this thesis work was the development of the concept for in situ computer controlled experimenting as a reasonable and effective means...

  • Compartmental analysis of the immune system

    Creator:
    Lawrence, Karen
    Abstract:
    A compartmental model of the immune system is simulated. Chapter I discusses the importance of such a model, reviews past immune system models, and summaries the immunological theory the model is based upon. In Chapter II, the compartmental representation of the immune system is developed from immunological and physiological theory....

  • Bilinear system model of the action potential of a single neuron

    Creator:
    Yahiaoui, Youcef
    Abstract:
    Neurons are characterized by an electric potential which is established between their inside and outside media. They exhibit specific voltage fluctuations, in response to strong enough current impulses, called action potentials. In this work, a bang-bang controlled bilinear system (BLS) is derived to approximate the generation of a simple neuron's...

  • Design and simulation of a model for lymphocyte flow through single lymphnodes

    Creator:
    Heilig, Thomas
    Abstract:
    A compartmental model of lymphocyte circulation through a lymphnode is derived and simulated. The purpose of the model is to analyze experimental data and in turn design experimental plans from the analysis in order to obtain sufficient data for the organ-distributed immune response. The model will be used to predict...

  • Drain current transient characterization of P-channel GaAs MESFET

    Creator:
    Peng, Lan L.
    Abstract:
    GaAs MESFETs are widely used in high speed integrated circuits (ICs) and microwave circuits. Due to the materials and processing methods used in GaAs MESFET fabrication, deep level traps in the substrate materials have a strong influence on device performance. In this work we used the drain current transient characterization...
