  • Low-voltage pipeline A/D converter

    Creator:
    Wu, Lei
    Abstract:
    Continuous process scale-down and emerging markets for low-power/low-voltage mobile systems call for low-voltage analog integrated circuits. Switched-capacitor (SC) circuits are the building blocks for analog signal processing and will encounter severe overdrive problems when operating at low voltage conditions. There exist three techniques to solve the problem, but with their...

  • Transcriptional regulation of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene

    Creator:
    Guo, Chunxiao
    Abstract:
    Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...

  • Effects of Water Scarcity, Climate Variability, and Risk Management Policy on Adaptive Agricultural Production Decisions

    Creator:
    Shi, Jian
    Abstract:
    Water scarcity and extreme weather present substantial risks for agricultural production on the U.S. West Coast. Farmers adapt to water supply uncertainties and climate risks by changing water application rates, adjusting irrigated acres, adopting more efficient irrigation technology, and altering crop mix. Many policy options are available to attain sustainable...

  • Essays on the interactions between land use, natural amenity and wildfire risk

    Creator:
    Xu, Wenchao
    Abstract:
    It is essential to study the relationship between environmental features and human land-use activities that can provide a better understanding of human-environment interactions. In a response, this dissertation addresses the human-environment issues from different perspectives in three essays. The first essay conducts an integrated analysis to investigate the impacts of...

  • The Development of a Mechanistic Critical Heat Flux Correlation

    Creator:
    Luitjens, Jeffrey M.
    Abstract:
    A mechanistic based critical heat flux (CHF) correlation has been developed derived from a mass, momentum, and energy balance at a nucleation site for water. The trigger mechanism for the CHF condition is postulated to be related to the maximum boiling frequency on a heated surface. It is observed that...

  • Dynamical System Scaling of Fuel Performance During Reactivity Insertion Accidents

    Creator:
    Dueñas, Alexander M.
    Abstract:
    Fuel qualification timelines for new fuel technology under ideal conditions can take between 20-25 years to be fully qualified from initial concept to deployment as full fuel assemblies. To reduce the timeline and costs, new separate-effects test and integral-effects test experiments, advanced instrumentation, and advanced modeling and simulation tools are...

  • Dynamic System Scaling Application to Accelerated Nuclear Fuel Testing

    Creator:
    Yoshiura, Ramon K.
    Abstract:
    The development of nuclear fuel and materials requires is a continuous effort to investigate the acute and prolonged effects of irradiation, thermal-material stress, chemical change, or other conceivable damage mechanics acquired during normal operation or accident scenarios throughout its lifetime. As in-core fuel property measurement techniques advance to support in...
