  • A self-calibrated, reconfigurable RF LNA

    Creator:
    Jayaraman, Karthik
    Abstract:
    Modern wireless System-on-Chips (SoCs), such as mobile handsets, sensor networks, and mm-wave systems, integrate an entire RF system on a single CMOS chip. Such highly complex systems require significant on-chip digital signal processing to help improve the performance of highly sensitive analog/RF components. The IC market being competitive, the ability...

  • Characterizing and Addressing Dataset Shift with Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Olson, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation delves into understanding, characterizing, and addressing dataset shift in deep learning, a pervasive issue for deployed machine learning systems. Integral aspects of the problem are examined: We start with the use of counterfactual explanations in order to characterize the behavior of deep reinforcement learning agents in visual input...

  • Transition metal solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Altschul, Emmeline Beth
    Abstract:
    A new approach to the discovery of high absorbing semiconductors for solar cells was taken by working under a set of design principles and taking a systemic methodology. Three transition metal chalcogenides at varying states of development were evaluated within this framework. Iron pyrite (FeS₂) is well known to demonstrate...

  • Modeling and application of multispectral oceanic sun glint observations

    Creator:
    Luderer, Gunnar
    Abstract:
    The atmospheric radiative transfer model MOCARAT was developed and is presented in this thesis. MOCARAT employs a Monte Carlo Technique for the accurate modeling of band radiances and reflectances in an atmospheric system with a ruffled ocean surface as a lower boundary. The atmospheric radiative transfer is modeled with consideration...

  • Moisture Resistance of Wood-Based Composite Materials

    Creator:
    Molina, Luis
    Abstract:
    Dimensional stability of wood-based composites with changing moisture content remains an important challenge in the industry for many applications. Wood modification technologies have shown significant improvement in dimensional stability by altering the chemistry of the wood substrate, or by filling the available space in the wood microstructure that otherwise would...

  • A Report on the Goat Industries of Oregon

    Creator:
    Lamphere, Charlotte A.
    Abstract:
    Goats were the first livestock species to be domesticated by humans and continue to function as a key source of protein and economic value for many communities. In the sixteenth century, Spanish colonists brought goats to the Americas. Unlike other nations, the United States did not maintain a significant market...

  • Accounting for Heterogeneity Corrections in Breast Brachytherapy

    Creator:
    Rogers, Kevin L.
    Abstract:
    Purpose: Model-based dose calculation algorithms (MBDCAs) have become clinically available within the past several years in commercially available brachytherapy planning systems. This work investigates the application of a 510(k) approved MBDCA Acuros™ BV and establishes a reproducible method of validation. The research is broken into three primary research goals. The...

  • Characterization of high temperature fatigue mechanisms in Haynes 282 nickel based superalloy

    Creator:
    Rozman, Kyle A.
    Abstract:
    Electric power needs will only grow over the next decades as more humans ascend from poverty into the middle class. Currently, the majority of electric power is generated by burning fossil fuels. To help mitigate the undesirable effects of burning fossil fuels research is being done to increase the efficiency...

  • Using Computational Studies to Characterize Aqueous Metal Clusters : From Spectroscopy to Stability

    Creator:
    Wills, Lindsay A.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, the spectroscopic properties and thermodynamic stability of a class of materials known as metal oxo and hydroxo clusters are studied. In aqueous solutions, many metals can aggregate into discrete clusters of metals bridged by oxo or hydroxo ligands. These clusters are of particular interest to us for...

  • Crossing Boundaries during Stress Responses: Antigen Presentation by Adaptive and Innate MHC Class I Molecules

    Creator:
    Nagamine, Brandy S.
    Abstract:
    The immune system is a complex network of cellular processes working in harmony to guard us against pathogenic attack. Of utmost importance is the ability of the immune system to discriminate between “self” and “non-self” and diseased versus healthy. Recognition of antigens complexed to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules is...
