Fabrication and Characterization of Bioactive Conjugated Polymer 3D Microstructures for Organic Bioelectronics
(2019-05)The emerging field of organic bioelectronics bridges the electronic world of organic based devices with the soft and predominantly ionic world of biology. This crosstalk can occur in both directions. For example, a biochemical ... -
Fabrication and Design of Sub-Wavelength Periodic Textures for Improving Light Harvesting in Multi-Junction III-V Photovoltaics
(December 2)Optimization of non-planar antireflective coating and back- (or front-) surface texturing are widely studied to further reduce the reflection losses and increase the sunlight absorption path in solar cells. In III-V ... -
Fabrication and Electromechanical Study of Symmetric Tape Round (STAR) REBCO Wires
(2019-05)High temperature superconducting (HTS) materials are essential for applications that require to operate at magnetic fields higher than 20 T. In commonly used HTS materials, Rare-Earth1Ba2Cu3O7-x (REBCO) coated conductor ... -
Fabrication and Investigation of Conducting Polymer Micro and Nano Structures for Bioelectronics Applications
(May 2018)Conducting polymers (CPs), especially poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophthene) (PEDOT) and poly(pyrrole) (PPy), are ideal materials for bioelectronics devices because of their biocompatibility, mechanical properties that are ... -
Fabrication and Optimization of Single-Junction GaAs Thin Film Solar Cells on Epi-ready Flexible Metal Tapes for Low-cost Photovoltaics
(2019-08)Properties like high efficiency, flexibility and light weight, resistance to UV radiation and moisture and a low temperature coefficient make gallium arsenide (GaAs) more favorable than the ubiquitously-used silicon for ... -
Fabrication and Properties of III-Nitride Piezoelectric Pressure Sensors
(August 201)In this thesis, we utilize gallium nitride (GaN) and aluminum nitride (AlN) as the sensing element of piezoelectric pressure sensor because its stable piezoelectric coefficient d_33, high rigidity and high serving temperature. ... -
Fabrication Development Of Micron Scale Retroreflector Assays Using Wet Etching
(2013-08)We are developing a new ultra-sensitive pathogen detection platform for rapid, point-of-care diagnostics. The platform uses micron-scale retroreflecting surfaces to allow for accurate and automated detection of virus and/or ... -
Fabrication of close-packed non-circular nanomagnetic pattern using low energy self-limiting ion-milling process
(2013-05)We describe a low energy glow discharge process using a reactive-ion etching system that enables non-circular device patterns, such as squares or hexagons, to be formed from the precursor arrays of uniform circular openings ... -
Fabrication of Multi-point Side-Firing Optical Fiber by Laser Micro- ablation
(Optics Letters, 1/16/2018)A multipoint, side-firing design enables an optical fiber to output light at multiple desired locations along the fiber body. This provides advantages over traditional end-to-end fibers, especially in applications requiring ... -
Face Recognition in the presence of variance in Pose, Expression, and Occlusions
(2019-05)Face recognition is a technology in which a computing device either classifies a human identity based on a facial image or verifies whether two images belong to the same subject. The recent advances have achieved remarkable ... -
Face Recognition in Unconstrained Conditions: Improving Face Alignment and Constructing a Pose-Invariant Compact Biometric Template
(2018-12)Face recognition has been significantly advanced in the past decade; however, challenges remain under unconstrained conditions regarding variations in pose, illumination, and occlusion. Existing solutions tackle the ... -
Facies and Morphology of Pleistocene Travertine Mounds at Lyman Lake, Arizona
(December 2)Travertine mounds in eastern Arizona formed around central vents and range from <10 m to 50 m in diameter and between 0.5-60 m thick. The travertine mounds are primarily composed of laterally extensive sheets of rhythmically ... -
Facies and stratigraphic framework of the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas
(2013-05)The Upper Cretaceous Eagle Ford Shale, in South and East Texas, consists of organic matter-rich fossiliferous marine shale. It is one of the most actively drilled targets for oil and gas in the United States, due to new ... -
FACIES ARCHITECTURAL STUDY OF INCISED VALLEYS, DISTRIBUTARY CHANNELS, AND MOUTH BARS IN THE CRETACEOUS FERRON NOTOM DELTA, SOUTHERN CENTRAL UTAH, USA.
(2012-12)This dissertation is focused on analysing architectural elements to understand the formative processes in linked fluvial and deltaic depositional systems in an ancient system. A compound incised valley system (IVS) and ... -
