Adaptive, wideband analog-to-digital conversion for convergent communication systems

Creator:: Batten, Robert D., 1973-
Abstract:: The exponential rate of advances in modern communication devices in the last several years have brought us higher levels of functionality and performance as well as reductions in physical size and power consumption. To continue this rate of advancement, next generation systems require wider bandwidth and higher resolution ADCs. Additionally,...

Developmental ramifications of dithiocarbamate pesticide exposure in zebrafish

Creator:: Tilton, Fred Anthony, 1973-
Abstract:: Dithiocarbamates are widely used agricultural pesticides, industrial chemicals and effluent additives. DTCs and their related compounds have historical and current relevance in clinical and experimental medicine. DTC developmental toxicity is well established, but poorly understood. Dithiocarbamates according to the U.S. EPA have a mechanism of action involving, "the inhibition of...

Application of digital image correlation in material parameter estimation and vibration analysis of carbon fiber composite and aluminum plates

Creator:: Chuang, Chih-Lan Jasmine
Abstract:: Identifying material parameters in composite plates is a necessary first step in a variety of structural applications. For example, understanding the material parameters of carbon fiber composite is important in investigating sensor and actuator placement on micro-air-vehicle wings for control and wing morphing purposes. Knowing the material parameters can also...

Nonlinear model reduction using the group proper orthogonal decomposition method

Creator:: Dickinson, Benjamin T.
Abstract:: Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) in conjunction with the Galerkin projection has been used as a model reduction technique for the tractable real-time control of high-dimensional systems. While POD based model reduction may improve the tractability of high-dimensional models, the nonlinear POD based model may be impractical for control due to...

Vertical Axis Pendulum Wave Energy Converters : Investigating Control Strategies and the Deployment of a Scaled Generic Prototype

Creator:: Boren, Blake C.
Abstract:: Vertical Axis Pendulum Wave Energy Converters (VAPWECs) are thought to be both effective and robust at converting ocean wave energy into usable electricity. Seeking to build upon and investigate such potential, this work examines the merits of actively controlling a generic VAPWEC's pendulum for the purpose of increasing the converter's...

On the modeling and control of horizontal pendulum wave energy converters

Creator:: Boren, Blake C.
Abstract:: Presented is an investigation into the modeling, active control design, and simulation of a generic horizontal pendulum wave energy converter, known as a PWEC. A description is provided of the dominant attributes PWECs have, showcasing their promising potential as wave energy converters. Seeking to further promote this potential, an active...

Grazing, nutrients, and marine benthic algae : insights into the drivers and protection of diversity

Creator:: Guerry, Anne D., 1973-
Abstract:: Two of the most powerful ways in which humans have altered ecosystems are by increasing productivity and changing the densities of important consumers. The bottom-up effects of productivity and the top-down effects of consumers have been identified as primary determinants of biological diversity, though the links between them remain unclear....

The effects of ocean variability and breaking waves on wave energy converter reliability and survivability

Creator:: Brown, Adam
Abstract:: The reliability and survivability of a wave energy converter (WEC) is highly dependent on the variability and non-linearity of the ocean itself. Ocean variability occurs on many time scales. Climate variability occurs decade-to-decade, and year-to-year in the number and intensity of winter storms. Seasonal variation of wave height and period...
