The chopper-stabilized operational amplifier has good low
frequency noise properties. Unfortunately a simple technique for
simulation of the chopper-stabilized operational amplifier has
not been available.
This thesis describes the implementation of a differential
amplifier using chopper stabilization and its circuit modeling
for the SPICE simulation. This circuit has been designed...
Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, has shown great promise in addressing many of the logistical challenges of storing and preserving red blood cells (RBCs). A crucial part of any RBC lyophilization protocol is the primary drying temperature, which affects the sample drying rate and the dried cake’s ability to form a stable...
Indigenous cultures perceive the natural environment as an essential link between traditional cultural
practices, social connectedness, identity, and health. Many tribal communities face substantial health
disparities related to exposure to environmental hazards. Our study used qualitative methods to better
understand the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) members’...
Radio frequency (RF) sensing arises as a promising option for enabling the internet of things (IoT) applications that transform our life into a world of smart homes, smart cities, and smart industries. The innovation of IoT reveals the benefits of RF sensing across cost, pervasiveness, unobtrusiveness, and privacy. However, challenges...
The pharmacy practices in Ecuador and the United States are different on three different levels: culturally, educationally and governmentally. Research was conducted to compare and contrast the differences of community pharmacy practices between the United States and Ecuador. Eight different pharmacists in Quito were interviewed with a series of questions....
In the northwestern Gulf of Mexico there is a need for reliable water level forecasts to facilitate safe commercial navigation, marine construction, and emergency management. Though the low amplitude tides of the region can be predicted with conventional harmonic techniques, frequent strong storms make accurate forecasts of water levels difficult....
Hatchery-reared salmonid fish routinely encounter stress due to
handling, barging, tagging, and overcrowding. It has been demonstrated that
there exists a direct correlation between stress and transient immune
suppression which can last for many days in fish. Epizootic viral infections
routinely appear in hatcheries and can have a devastating effect...
Foodservice systems management (FSM) has had impact on the role of dietitians,
not only in the United States (US), but also in Korea. The purpose of the study
was: (1) to delineate and identify the acceptable FSM competencies for Korean
dietitians (KDs), (2) to identify factors which influenced the Korean...
Throughout the course of fashion, much inspiration has been sourced by designers from ethnic cultures. Chinese fashion specifically has been referenced and reinterpreted by Western creatives for many years, either by incorporating elements of traditional garments or presenting them in an inappropriate manner. Such activities have garnered accusations of cultural...
Two digestibility trials using sheep were conducted to determine
the digestibility coefficients of a commercially processed NaOH treated
annual ryegrass straw cube. Comparisons were made with loose, chopped
ryegrass straw and a ryegrass straw cube processed with molasses as a
binder.
The NaOH cubed straw was produced by spraying a...
