  • Wireless Microwave Sensing in Environmental and Biomedical Applications

    Creator:
    Uluer, Ismail Hakki
    Abstract:
    This dissertation studies two different wireless microwave sensing applications in the subjects of environmental monitoring and biomedical devices. The environmental sensing application presents a design of novel wireless sensor node configurations. These nodes are intended to be used specifically in a built environment of railroad track ballast for its health...

  • The sexualization of women in modern film trailers

    Creator:
    Loiselle, Sierra
    Abstract:
    Previous research has shown that women are increasingly sexualized in a variety of media contexts. I conducted a content analysis of film trailers from 2018 and 2019 to examine the relationship between the sexualization and objectification of female-presenting characters to the popularity of the film and its trailer. A random...

  • Towards Pactive (Passive + Active) Sensing for Security Applications

    Creator:
    Menon, Arya
    Abstract:
    Increasing threats of terrorism and contraband smuggling have led to a growing interest in millimeter wave/ THz security sensors. Recently, systems combining active and passive sensing into one unit have been proposed where the active mode provides information on range and reflectivity, and the passive mode complements the active by...

  • Hot electron transport and relaxation in quantum wells and superlattices

    Creator:
    Lary, Jenifer Edith
    Abstract:
    Electron transport and relaxation may be substantially different in low-dimensional systems compared to that observed in bulk material. In the present work, Monte Carlo models are used for the solution to the Boltzmann transport equation, with scattering rates calculated quantum mechanically for superlattice and quantum wells. Carrier relaxation following optical...

  • Designing a high level microprogramming language

    Creator:
    Malik, Kamran
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is to design a high level language (HLL) suitable for microprogramming. A top down design technique has been adopted which makes the language design process simple and accurate. The primitive operations of a high level language for producing emulators is shown to include special purpose...

  • Design and computer aided optimization of a fully integrated CMOS RF distributed amplifier

    Creator:
    Ballweber, Brian M.
    Abstract:
    Advancements in the sophistication and complexity of modern electronic systems are creating a need for highly integrated systems with ever higher operational frequencies. The economical demands of these systems dictate that they be implemented using low cost fabrication technologies, such as digital CMOS. One of the major challenges facing circuit...

  • Growing digital circuits : logic synthesis and minimization with genetic operators

    Creator:
    Dill, Karen M.
    Abstract:
    This research applies the biologically inspired, artificial evolutionary processes of Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming to digital hardware circuit synthesis and minimization. In this new application, three approaches are taken to genetic hardware development. First, as a method for logic synthesis, Genetic Programming is applied to the building of logic...
