The advent of low-cost RFIC's fabricated in Silicon-based technologies has led to the use of monolithic lumped elements which are located on-die. While it is clearly advantageous to have a high degree of integration and thus fewer off chip elements, parasitic losses due to semiconducting substrate effects can be a...
Spiral inductors are a key component of mixed-signal and analog integrated circuits (IC's). Such circuits are often fabricated using silicon-based technology, owing to the inherent low-cost and high volume production aspects. However, semiconducting substrate materials such as silicon can have adverse effects on spiral inductor performance due to the lossy...
The purpose of this study was to test in practice the perceptual
field approach learning theory with students identified as slow
learners. The essential aim was to achieve significant improvement
in the self adjustment of the students while not inhibiting their
learning of biology. The approaches and techniques of perceptual...
Doctoral training programs in counselor education require a dissertation, a capstone project in the academic training and development of graduate students seeking a PhD or an EdD. The dissertation is expected to contribute new knowledge to the profession through the researcher reporting the results of research. The counselor education literature...
In many experimental situations involving compartmental models,
a more realistic model is obtained if the rate constants are regarded
as random variables. We consider the problem of estimating the means
and variances of the rate constants in a stochastic compartmental
model when
a) a time series of observations of an...
Marginal agricultural and forest lands are currently a focus of concern for public land use agencies in Oregon. Two alternatives for evaluating marginal agricultural lands are the Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) model of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and the marginal lands criteria of the 1983 Oregon Legislature's...
Home range, dispersal, homing and density of Townsend's mole, Scapanus townsendii (Bachman), were studied during 1964 near Tillamook, Oregon. Additional information on the success of marking
and capture techniques and the response of moles to flooding was gathered. This study was initiated to supply information which might aid in the...
This study originated with industry recognition of inadequate
flexibility in currently used procedures for grading, sizing, and
packaging fresh apples in North Central Washington. Field-run apples
are introduced into the process, and nearly all of the product must
be placed in a marketing package in the process. Portions of the...
