  • Ectopic overexpression of Arabidopsis CBF genes enhances freezing tolerance of two potato species

    Creator:
    Pino, María-Teresa
    Abstract:
    Solanum species differ in their degree of frost tolerance and cold acclimation capacity. Cultivated potato species of Solanum tuberosum L. are frost-sensitive, incapable of cold acclimation, and have a maximum freezing tolerance of –3°C. Solanum commersonii Dun is frost-tolerant and can survive to –5ºC pre-acclimation and –10ºC post-acclimation. Breeding attempts...

  • A wideband low-power continuous-time delta-sigma modulator for next generation wireless applications

    Creator:
    Chen, Xuefeng
    Abstract:
    Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are widely used in wireless transceivers. Recently, continuous-time (CT) ΔΣ ADCs gain growing interest in wireless applications for their lower power consumption and wider input bandwidth as compared with the discrete-time (DT) counterparts. In this thesis, a wideband low-power CT ΔΣ modulator for next generation...

  • Morphological characterization of wood plastic composite (WPC) with advanced imaging tools : developing methodologies for reliable phase and internal damage characterization

    Creator:
    Wang, Yi
    Abstract:
    Wood plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made from thermoplastic polymers, wood flour, and a small amount of process- and property-enhancing additives; they are principally used in the automotive industry and as secondary building materials. Although the WPC market is expected to keep growing, it is still relatively small when...

  • Salt and polyelectrolyte affect on food colloid function : polygalacturonic acid and egg albumen case studies

    Creator:
    Chen, Chi-Shen
    Abstract:
    The primary purpose of this study was to try to (1) provide information on the chemical nature, including turbidity formation, of polygalacturonic acid in different concentrations of NaCl solution. (2) use turbidity formation characteristics to develop an assay for determining the activities polygalacturonic acid depolymerases by using a polyelectrolyte. (3)...

  • The function of the homeobox transcription factor Pitx2 during mammalian skeletal muscle development

    Creator:
    Shih, Hung Ping
    Abstract:
    Homeodomain transcription factors control developmental processes. They pattern body formation, specify cell lineages and switch the onset of gene regulatory cascades. Pitx2, a bicoid-related homeodomain transcription factor, is asymmetrically expressed in the left lateral plate mesoderm and mesoderm-derived tissues. Pitx2 null mice are characterized by failure of body wall closure,...

  • Low-complexity high-speed VLSI design of low-density parity-check decoders

    Creator:
    Cui, Zhiqiang
    Abstract:
    Low-Density Parity-check (LDPC) codes have attracted considerable attention due to their capacity approaching performance over AWGN channel and highly parallelizable decoding schemes. They have been considered in a variety of industry standards for the next generation communication systems. In general, LDPC codes achieve outstanding performance with large codeword lengths (e.g.,...

  • Efficient VLSI architectures for MIMO and cryptography systems

    Creator:
    Li, Qingwei
    Abstract:
    Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems have recently been considered as one of the most significant technology breakthroughs for modern wireless communications, due to the higher spectral efficiency and improved link reliability. The sphere decoding algorithm (SDA) has been widely used for maximum likelihood (ML) detection in MIMO systems. It is...

    Creator:
    Ozdural, Orhan Can
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, maximum likelihood Doppler frequency estimation and phase noise suppression algorithms for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems are presented. A novel handover decision algorithm for wireless systems, called predictive base station switching (PBSS), is also introduced. The maximum Doppler Frequency is the ratio of the speed of...

    Creator:
    Meng, Rengong
    Abstract:
    Experiments focusing on plant growth regulators’ concentrations and combination, mineral salt formulations and TDZ pretreatment formations were conducted to optimize in vitro shoot regeneration from leaf and petiole explants of 'Marion' blackberry. Optimum shoot formation was obtained when stock plants were incubated in TDZ pretreatment medium for three weeks before...
