  • An Agent-based Evacuation Modeling of Underground Fire Emergency

    Creator:
    Xu, Yue
    Abstract:
    Increasingly congested surface transportation network in urban areas and grow-ing land values make underground transportation systems more attractive for high-ways (i.e., tunnels) and metro system compared to other options [1]. An underground transportation system can preserve the land above for recreational parks, commer-cial buildings, residential homes, or other purposes while...

  • Optofluidic Sensing from Inkjet-Printed Droplets on Diatom Biosilica

    Creator:
    Xi, Yuting
    Abstract:
    We explored an optofluidic sensing mechanism from inkjet-printed droplets on diatom biosilica using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Our study revealed a new biosensing strategy that combines the microscopic fluidic flow induced by the droplet evaporation and the photonic crystal effects of diatom frustules, which can provide an ultra-sensitive, cost-effective biosensing...

  • Silicon Microring Resonator Driven by High-Mobility Conductive Oxide Capacitor

    Creator:
    Hsu, Wei-Che
    Abstract:
    Silicon photonics has rapidly become one of the most promising photonic integration platforms. Especially, microring resonator (MRR) plays a pivotal role in silicon photonics and has been widely used for electro-optic (E-O) modulators and wavelength filters due to its small footprint, low energy consumption, and high quality factor (Q-factor). Recently,...

  • EMD based hybrid models in short term traffic speed forecast

    Creator:
    Liu, Lu
    Abstract:
    Short-term freeway traffic speed prediction is essential to improving mobility and safety. It has been a challenging, yet unresolved issue. Traffic speed prediction can be applied to enhance the intelligent freeway traffic management and control for applications as operational and regulation planning. For example, with more reliable traffic speed prediction,...

  • Characterization of liquid droplets from inkjet printers by optical scattering

    Creator:
    Wang, Xiangyu
    Abstract:
    Due to the wide applications of inkjet printers in industry and our daily life, characterization of liquid droplets from inkjet printers, particularly the behaviors of the impact and diffusion of the droplets on the surface of and inside porous medium is of great interest. One conventional characterization method uses high-speed...

  • Life Cycle Assessments for Wastewater Treatment and the Feasibility Study of Microbial Fuel Cell Technology

    Creator:
    Chien, Ku-Huan
    Abstract:
    The thesis documents research about combining the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Program with the Impact 2002+ methodology to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for wastewater treatment processes. The LCA for the operational phase of a local wastewater treatment plant was performed and the environmental impacts caused...

  • Device characterization and analog circuit design for heterojunction FETs

    Creator:
    Wang, Binan
    Abstract:
    Present day data processing technology requires very high speed signal processing and data conversion rates. Traditionally, these circuits have been implemented in silicon MOS technology, whose high speed performance is limited, due to inherent material properties. Though relatively immature compared to silicon technology, GaAs integrated circuit technology appears to be...

  • Large-Area Nanoplasmonic Structures for Enhanced Fluorescence-Based Biosensing

    Creator:
    Wang, Yi-Chieh
    Abstract:
    An innovative silver nano-dimple arrays (Ag DAs)-integrated microfluidic device was developed to achieve highly sensitive fluorescence-based nucleic acid detection. The Ag DAs were utilized to produce surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for strong fluorescence enhancement. We systematically investigated the plasmon-enhanced fluorescence by controlling the nanostructure dimension of the Ag DA substrate....

  • Using Change Representations to Analyze Properties of Variational Software

    Creator:
    Wang, Xiangyu
    Abstract:
    Appropriate representations of variational software simplify the analysis of their properties.This thesis proposes tailored representations of two kinds variational softwares: difference files of merge commits in Git and feature models. For the former, we use the Choice Edit Model, which is based on the choice calculus, to represent changes introduced...
