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...
We present an approach for generating a character’s response in anticipation of an impending impact. Protective anticipatory movement is built upon several simple actions that have been identified as response mechanisms in monkeys and in humans. These actions are parameterized by a model of the interaction based on the approaching...

Electron-biomolecule interactions are a biologically relevant field of study
because there are several ion fragmentation techniques that have come to the forefront
in mass spectrometric analysis that involve the interaction of charged peptides and
free electrons. By studying the electron energies that cause fragmentation in neutral
amino acids, amino acid...
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characters of
winter wave climates of the Washington and Oregon coasts from 1980-
81 through 1989-90 and to compare these spatially and temporally
with the occurrence of storm events. Of particular interest is the
analysis of wave climates and weather events...
The objective of this dissertation is to introduce low-cost processing methods for the fabrication of ZnO transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs). A novel method for depositing ZnO body layers via spin-coating of a zinc nitrate-based spin solution is presented. The processing conditions of spin-coated ZnO are optimized to produce continuous and...
Highly transparent ZnO-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) are fabricated with optical transmission (including substrate) of ~75% in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Current–voltage measurements indicate n-channel, enhancement-mode TFT operation with excellent drain current saturation and a drain current on-to-off ratio of ~10⁷. Threshold voltages and channel mobilities of devices...
Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus)is an important component of fisheries and food webs in the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. However, vital rates of early life stages of this species have yet to be described in detail. We determined the thermal sensitivity of growth rates of embryos, pref lexion and...
