  • A model of the likelihood of stimulation or tolerance of the B lymphocyte

    Creator:
    Peterson, Patricia A.
    Abstract:
    The B lymphocyte is the immune cell responsible for the production of antibodies. It has receptor molecules on its surface which bind to a molecule known as an antigen. The antigen either stimulates the cell to produce antibodies or tolerizes it so that it is unable to produce antibodies. It...

  • Electronic Stability of Metal Halide Perovskites

    Creator:
    Hong, Min Ji
    Abstract:
    Despite near unanimous opinion on the consequences of climate change by scientific community, the rate at which carbon is emitted into the atmosphere continues to increase. The need for a clean and sustainable source of energy is therefore one of humankind's most urgent challenges. Solar energy is the most abundant...

  • Analysis and design of oversampled digital-to-analog converters

    Creator:
    Xu, Xiaofeng
    Abstract:
    Oversampled data converters are becoming increasingly popular for high-precision data conversion. There have been many publications on oversampled analog-to-digital (A/D) converters but relatively few on oversampled digital-to-analog (D/A) converters. In this thesis, issues concerning the analysis and design of the oversampled D/A converters are addressed. Simulation tools and analytical methods...

  • Performance monitoring of parallel applications at large grain level

    Creator:
    Yadav, Anil Kumar
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an attempt to create a methodology to analyze the performance of parallel applications on a wide variety of platforms and programming environments. First we determined the monitoring functions required to collect traces for accurate representation of the parallel application. We used the Extended Large Grain Data Flow...

  • An adaptive all-pass filter for decision feedback equalization

    Creator:
    Wiedmann, Ralf
    Abstract:
    Increasing densities on magnetic data storage devices leads to problems of severe intersymbol interference (ISI), additive noise and non-linearities. Advanced detection strategies for magnetic recording channels fall into two categories: partial response equalization with maximum likelihood decoding and decision feedback equalization. This study focuses on doing an adaptive all-pass forward...

  • Optimizing the microcode produced by a high level microprogramming language

    Creator:
    Ma, Perng-Yi
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is to develop methods to translate a certain machine independent intermediate language (IML) to efficient horizontal microprograms for a class of microprogrammable machines. This IML has been developed by Malik (12) and is compiled directly from a high level microprogramming language used to implement a...

  • Optimum quantization for the adaptive loops in MDFE

    Creator:
    Parthasarathy, Priya
    Abstract:
    Multi-level decision feedback equalization (MDFE) is a sampled signal processing technique for data recovery from magnetic recording channels which use the 2/3(1,7) run length limited code. The key adaptive feedback loops in MDFE are those which perform the timing recovery, gain recovery, dc offset detection, and adaptive equalization of the...

  • 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...

  • Image features and learning algorithms for biological, generic and social object recognition

    Creator:
    Zhang, Wei
    Abstract:
    Automated recognition of object categories in images is a critical step for many real-world computer vision applications. Interest region detectors and region descriptors have been widely employed to tackle the variability of objects in pose, scale, lighting, texture, color, and so on. Different types of object recognition problems usually require...

    Jafari, Hossein
    Abstract:
    A new modular loop architecture for distributed computer systems has been developed and compared with three of the most prominent loop architectures currently being used. The competitive loops with which the new architecture has been compared are the Newhall loop, the Pierce loop and the DLCN loop. The four loop...
