Efficient digital predistortion techniques for power amplifier linearization

Creator:: Zhuo, Min
Abstract:: The importance of spectral efficiency in mobile communications often requires the use of non-constant-envelop linear digital modulation schemes. These modulation techniques carry signal information in both magnitude and phase, thus they must be linearly amplified to avoid nonlinear signal distortion which is not correctable in a typical receiver. A second...

Micromechanics of heterogeneous materials under compressive loading

Creator:: Laird, George
Abstract:: In mining and mineral processing, compressive loading is often encountered during the comminution of ore bearing minerals and in the wear resistant materials used in the comminution circuit. A common thread joining many of the materials that are primarily used under compressive loading is the presence of a high modulus...

Computational modeling of Lorentz force induced mixing in alkali seeded diffusion flames

Creator:: Thompson, Jon Ira
Abstract:: Lorentz forces provide a unique method for the control and mixing of gas flows without the physical intrusion of objects into the flow. Lorentz forces arise when an electric current is passed through a volume in the presence of a magnetic field. The interaction between the electric current and the...

Collective Aquifer Governance: It’s the Water, and a “Hole” Lot More

Creator:: Wiley, Jakob Stevan
Abstract:: Aquifers are a whole lot more than groundwater. Aquifers are composed of many kinds of different resources, including storage space, geothermal energy, surface interactions, and various minerals. However, unlike these resources, groundwater is treated as something different. The transition from groundwater management to groundwater governance expanded the role of social...

Potential effects of climate change and fire management on fire behavior and vegetation patterns on an east Cascades landscape

Creator:: Greaves, Heather E.
Abstract:: Climate exerts considerable control on wildfire regimes, and climate and wildfire are both major drivers of forest growth and succession in interior Northwest forests. Estimating potential response of these landscapes to anticipated changes in climate helps researchers and land managers understand and mitigate impacts of climate change on important ecological...

Assessing the Impacts of the Red Imported Fire Ant on First-Generation Monarch Butterfly Reproductive Success in a Texas Coastal Prairie

Creator:: Sutherland, Remy C.
Abstract:: In recent years, monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) populations have declined at an alarming rate resulting in an extensive conservation effort across the species’ migratory range. One hypothesis for declining populations is decreased reproductive success during spring migration. The eastern monarch population’s first annual generation occurs in the early spring when...

Developing Sustainable Water Resource Management: A Case Study of the Prasae Reservoir in Rayong Province, Eastern Thailand

Creator:: Phadungsontikul, Sarintip
Abstract:: Water is an essential natural resource for human survival and plays an important role in food, manufacturing, and energy systems, as well as in ecosystem maintenance. The rapid increase in global water demand is due to economic and social development competition. At the same time, water availability and access to...

The benefits and burdens of flood control policy in the United States on humans and ecosystems : Can one policy allow humans and ecosystems to thrive?

Creator:: Winograd, Scott
Abstract:: Floods are beneficial to nature but can be destructive to humans. For centuries humanity has attempted to control nature and specifically rivers and their flooding. After looking at a history of river management in the United States, an examination of both the burdens and benefits of flood control policy in...

The effects of native plants on non-native plant abundance in a restoration setting : differences among native species and the predictive ability of species traits

Creator:: Goodridge, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: Reducing the cover of non-native species is one of the challenges of ecosystem restoration. The goal of this study is to identify native species traits that will increase native species cover and reduce non-native species cover in the first growing season at upland and wetland prairie restoration sites. Native and...

Epidemiological implications of sporozoite aggregation in malaria vectors

Creator:: Li, Xiaohong, 1963-
Abstract:: This study describes and quantifies some microprocesses of malaria transmission including blood vessel location by Anopheles stephensi and sporozoites delivery of An. stephensi infected by Plasmodium berghei. The study models the effects of malaria parasite-induced changes in probing behavior and mosquito mortality on disease transmisson. Finally, host, vector, and parasitological...
