  • Novel Interfacial Syntheses of Covalent Organic Frameworks

    Creator:
    Liu, Ziyan
    Abstract:
    Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are an emerging type of microporous crystalline polymers connected by organic units via strong covalent bonds. Due to the well-defined crystalline structure and excellent chemical and thermal stabilities, COF materials are being considered as promising candidates in a variety of applications, such as gas adsorption, catalysis...

  • Synthesis, surface treatment, and characterization of copper indium sulfide quantum dots

    Creator:
    Alemu, Yagenetfere A.
    Abstract:
    The need for less toxic quantum dots (QDs) has led to a significant number of investigations related to copper indium sulfide (CIS) QDs. Lower toxicity and broad band absorbance width makes CIS QDs appealing for light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, sensors, bio-imaging, solar cells, and computing. The optical and electronic...

  • Spray drying for erythrocyte preservation at room temperature

    Creator:
    Leu, Hsuan-Yu
    Abstract:
    Spray drying has been widely used in food science for long-term storage of products such as powdered milk, and it has recently been used for preservation of more temperature sensitive products such as human blood plasma and single-cell organisms. However, there are no previous reports of successful spray drying of...

  • Characterization of a digital phase locked loop and a stochastic time to digital converter

    Creator:
    Geissenhainer, Erik D.
    Abstract:
    A digital phase locked loop (DPLL) and a statistical time-to-digital converter (STDC) were previously fabricated in a 0.35µm, 3.3V SOI CMOS process. This work summarizes these designs and characterizes the measured performance. Simulations supplement the measurements where applicable. The DPLL was found to reach a locked state under a limited...

  • Analysis and synthesis of neural networks

    Creator:
    Skelton, Jeanette K.
    Abstract:
    The brain has long attracted the interest of researchers. Some tasks, such as pattern recognition and optimization, have proven to be exceptionally difficult for conventional computing systems to perform, but are executed by the brain almost effortlessly. Due to the large number of neurons and interconnections, it has proven impossible...

  • Analysis and modeling of substrate noise coupling for NMOS transistors in heavily doped substrates

    Creator:
    Hsu, Shu-ching
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines substrate noise coupling for NMOS transistors in heavily doped substrates. The study begins with the analysis of an NMOS transistor switching noise in a digital inverter at the device level. A resistive substrate network for the NMOS transistor is proposed and verified. Coupling between N+- P+ contacts...

  • Design of low power 2.4GHz CMOS LC balanced oscillators with low phase noise and large tuning range

    Creator:
    Seshan, Nilakantan
    Abstract:
    The design of two 2.4GHz CMOS LC balanced oscillators in the 0.25μm National BiCMOS process for Bluetooth specifications is presented. These oscillators achieve low phase noise with low power consumption. At a frequency offset of 500KHz from the 2.11GHz carrier, the measured phase noise is -101.9dBc/Hz for the NMOS oscillator...

  • A comprehensive integration of first year engineering education

    Creator:
    Shuman, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Retention of engineering students is a problem for many universities, especially during the first year. The problem of introducing students to engineering while increasing retention rates has recently been addressed by many different universities. Implementing novel lab structures, adjusting the lecture to incorporate more effective teaching techniques, and using orientation...

  • Fabrication of Biological Pigment Nanowires by Inkjet Printing

    Creator:
    Cao, Yu
    Abstract:
    Digital inkjet printing is developing quickly today because inkjet printing processes consume less energy and water and produce less waste discharge than traditional dyeing and other printing technologies. Inkjet printing provides more versatility and flexibility in terms of printing patterns and colors. Natural pigments are gaining more attention today as...
