  • Fisheries information in developing countries: support to the implementation of the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries

    Creator:
    Webster, Janet G. and Collins, Jean
    Abstract:
    The 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries provides a policy framework for sustainable fisheries management. Many FAO Members indicate that the lack of information continues to constrain the full and effective implementation of the Code. This Circular seeks to address a range of information issues required to support...

  • Design techniques for radiation hardened-phase locked loops

    Creator:
    Nemmani, Anantha Nag
    Abstract:
    Spacecrafts experience radiation in the course of their operation and all electronic equipment on board these spacecrafts has to be designed to withstand the effects of this radiation. This thesis describes the effects of total ionization dose (TID) and single event transients (SET) in phase-locked loops - an important circuit...

  • A MOSCAP pipeline pseudo passive DAC

    Creator:
    Behera, Prachee Shree
    Abstract:
    The design of a 10-bit pipelined charge redistribution DAC employing MOSCAPs biased in their accumulation mode is presented in this thesis. A switched capacitor filter and output buffer have also been designed for the system. The effect of MOSCAP nonlinearity on the performance of the pipelined charge redistribution DAC has...

  • A stochastic time-to-digital converter for digital phase-locked loops

    Creator:
    Ok, Kerem
    Abstract:
    Digital phase-locked loops (PLLs) have been receiving increasing attention recently due to their ease of integration, scalability and performance comparable to their analog counterparts. In digital PLLs, increased resolution in time-to-digital conversion is desirable for improved noise performance. This work describes the design and simulation of a stochastic time-to-digital converter...

  • Garbage in, garbage out? An empirical look at oracle mistakes by end-user programmers

    Creator:
    Phalgune, Amit
    Abstract:
    End-user programmers, because they are human, make mistakes. However, past research has not considered how visual end-user debugging devices could be designed to ameliorate the effects of mistakes. This paper empirically examines oracle mistakes mistakes users make about which values are right and which are wrong to reveal differences in...

  • End user software engineering features for both genders

    Creator:
    Sorte, Shraddha
    Abstract:
    Previous research has revealed gender differences that impact females’ willingness to adopt software features in end users’ programming environments. Since these features have separately been shown to help end users problem solve, it is important to female end users’ productivity that we find ways to make these features more acceptable...

  • Planning in multi-agent partially observable domains using sparse sampling

    Creator:
    Donneau-Golencer, Thierry D.
    Abstract:
    A large number of sequential decision-making problems in uncertain environments can be modeled as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). In such settings, an agent can observe at each time step the state of the environment and then executes an action, causing a stochastic transition to a new state of the environment...

  • Implementation of an ultra-wideband transceiver for sensor applications

    Creator:
    Jann, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio is the transmission of data using an extremely wide bandwidth and very low power spectral density. In this thesis, the mereits and challenges of UWB architectures versus conventional narrowband architectures will be compared. Pulsed UWB systems can be implemented with very simple architectures. These advantages make UWB...

  • Growth and characterization of zinc ferrite thin films for high frequency applications

    Creator:
    Hu, Jiqing
    Abstract:
    Ferrites have been used for various high frequency applications as bulk materials. These applications, however, are limited to large dimension devices. In this thesis, thin film ferrites were deposited from a low temperature solution-based deposition process that is suitable for micro-scale high frequency applications. The low temperature nature of this...

  • Design techniques for low-voltage and low-power analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Ahn, Gil Cho
    Abstract:
    With the ever-increasing demand for portable devices used in applications such as wireless communication, mobile computing, consumer electronics, etc., the scaling of the CMOS process to deep submicron dimensions becomes more important to achieve low-cost, low-power and high-performance digital systems. However, this downscaling also requires similar shrinking of the supply...
