In this thesis work, a design of 14-bit, 20MS/s segmented digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is presented. The segmented DAC uses switched-capacitor configuration to implement 8 (LSB) + 6 (MSB) segmented architecture to achieve high performance for minimum area. The implemented LSB DAC is based on quasi-passive pipelined DAC that has been...
The general theory of characteristics is reviewed for hyperbolic
partial differential equations of n independent variables. The
application of the theory of characteristics is made to unsteady, two-dimensional, rotational, inviscid flows; unsteady, two-dimensional,
irrotational, inviscid flows; and unsteady, axial symmetric, inviscid
flows. The characteristic surfaces and the compatibility relations
are...
For the past decades, around 20% of the natural coral reefs were lost and > 20% more is currently deteriorating. Due to the recognition of positive impact to fishery resources enhancement by artificial
reefs (ARs) deployment, Taiwanese government has started deploying ARs as a measure to improve the environment of...
