  • Modeling and Design of Interconnects and Passive Components for Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits in Silicon

    Creator:
    Zheng, Lei
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Pixel- and Frame-level Video Labeling using Spatial and Temporal Convolutional Networks

    Creator:
    Lei, Peng
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses the problem of video labeling at both the frame and pixel levels using deep learning. For pixel-level video labeling, we have studied two problems: i) Spatiotemporal video segmentation and ii) Boundary detection and boundary flow estimation. For the problem of spatiotemporal video segmentation, we have developed recurrent...

  • Response of equipment in resilient-friction base isolated structures subjected to ground motion

    Creator:
    Lei, Kai-ming
    Abstract:
    The response of lightweight equipment in structures supported on resilient-friction-base isolators (R-FBI) subjected to harmonic ground motion and various earthquake ground motions is examined. The equipment-structure base system is modeled as a three degree-of-freedom discrete system (SDOF subsystems). An efficient semi-analytical numerical solution procedure for the determination of equipment response...

  • Utilization of Renewable Energy via Thermochemistry

    Creator:
    Lei, Fuqiong
    Abstract:
    Utilization of solar energy or wind energy for electricity production is inherently challenging due to the diurnal and seasonal variations and normal intermittency. Effective, high efficiency storage methods need to be developed for further advancing renewable energy utilization. Endothermic chemical processing and thermochemical energy storage can be both employed as...

  • Mapping of recursive algorithms onto multi-rate arrays

    Creator:
    Zheng, Yue-Peng
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, multi-rate array (MRA) architecture and its synthesis are proposed and developed. Using multi-coordinate systems (MCS), a unified theory for mapping algorithms from their original algorithmic specifications onto multi-rate arrays is developed. A multi-rate array is a grid of processors in which each interconnection may have its own...

  • Protein Disorder in the Evolution of Dynein Regulation

    Creator:
    Jie, Jing
    Abstract:
    Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP) are a class of proteins that lack a three-dimensional structure and their prevalence and diverse functions in the cell have only been discovered relatively recently. The intermediate chain (IC) subunit of the microtubule motor protein complex dynein contains an N-terminal disordered region, N-IC, which is central...

  • Using Metal-Oxo Clusters to Expand Actinide Chemistry

    Creator:
    Colliard, Ian
    Abstract:
    A molecular approach to metal oxides allows to the study to fundamental bonding and formation behavior for such metals. Moreover, the molecular nature of such oxides or metal-oxo clusters allows the possibility of exploitation of the properties of the parent oxides. The tetravalent metals, in specific, (M=Zr, Hf, Ce, Th,...

  • Energy-efficient, short-range ultra-wideband radio transceivers

    Creator:
    Hu, Changhui
    Abstract:
    Short-range wireless communications continually attract interest from both industry and academia, and it is changing our life in every aspect in the last decade. The design of wireless transceivers is the bottleneck for variety applications, due to RF modeling inaccuracy, stringent FCC regulations over the transmitted power spectrum, interference, multi-path...
