  • A 90.5dB DR 1MHz BW Hybrid Two Step ADC with CT Incremental and SAR ADCs

    Creator:
    Wang, Yanchao
    Abstract:
    The sensors in real time data processing IoT devices require high resolution and sub-MHz data converters, usually implemented as Incremental ADCs due to the advantages of oversampling technique and low latency. In discrete time incremental (IDT) ADCs, the sampling switch non-linearity, charge injection degrade the resolution, and power hungry OPAMPs...

  • A Comprehensive Methodology for Measuring the Performance of Transit Networks

    Creator:
    Rahanjam, Mehrdad
    Abstract:
    The performance of transit networks must be measured on a regular basis to understand how well these complex systems fulfill their intended purpose and to identify potential opportunities for improvement. Measuring transit network performance is only achievable by defining a specific set of transit network performance indicators (TNPIs). Different schemes...

  • A computational-based methodology for the rapid determination of initial AP location for WLAN deployment

    Creator:
    Altamirano, Esteban
    Abstract:
    The determination of the optimal location of transceivers is a critical design factor when deploying a wireless local area network (WLAN). The performance of the WLAN will improve in a variety of aspects when the transceivers' locations are adequately determined, including the overall cell coverage to the battery life of...

  • A Fully Integrated Bio-potential Low-noise Amplifier Utilizing Capacitor Multipliers

    Creator:
    Yong, OnnLim
    Abstract:
    In any biomedical signal acquisition system, a front-end amplifier is needed to amplify low amplitude bio-signals while filtering out any unwanted low-frequency artifacts. The design of low frequency poles within the sub-Hz range implies very large time-constants which goes against system integrability. In recent years, the pseudo resistor has been...

  • A Metaheuristic Approach for Facilities Location with Balanced Allocation of Customers

    Creator:
    Nippaya, Dheeraporn
    Abstract:
    Organizations are constantly looking for innovative strategies to face more stringent competitive environments and the ever increasing market globalization. An alternative these organizations can pursue to respond to these challenges is to optimize their supply chain network (SCN). Important considerations when optimizing a SCN involve determining locations for plants and...

  • A Quantitative Analysis of Simultaneous Supply and Demand Disruptions on a Multi-Echelon Supply Chain

    Creator:
    Kost, Austin R.
    Abstract:
    Modern supply chains have grown to be far more complex than their predecessors, as global trade and accessibility have opened avenues of trade that were previously impossible. As such, the inherent risk of internal and/or external disruptions impacting the performance of a supply chain has also grown due to the...

  • A usability comparison of PDA-based quizzes and paper-and-pencil quizzes

    Creator:
    Segall, Noa
    Abstract:
    In the last few years, many schools and universities have incorporated personal digital assistants (PDAs) into their teaching curricula, in an attempt to enhance students' learning experience and reduce instructors' workload. One of the most common uses of PDAs in the classroom is as a test administrator. This study compared...

  • A wireless sensor network approach for estimating individual task time

    Creator:
    Atichat, Tanawat
    Abstract:
    Most existing methods for generating individual task time estimates in production systems where jobs move through various manually operated workstations remain tedious and time consuming. For existing systems, average task times may vary considerably from prior estimates causing system inefficiencies, poor scheduling and poor planning decisions. Accurate and up-to-date estimates...

  • An Econometric Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change on Forest Land Value and Broad Land-use Change

    Creator:
    Mihiar, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Climate change affects the choice of land-use not only through its direct effect on the productive potential of land, but also through human actions that alter the landscape. In this dissertation, I estimate current climate's effect on the economic net returns to alternative land-use systems in the United States. Then...
