ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS OF MAGNETIC MATERIALS FOR MAGNETIC RECORDING AND MEMS APPLICATIONS
(2012-05)
With the increase in the areal density for magnetic recording disks, the bits are becoming smaller so that more bits can be accommodated in a given area of disk. However, there is a certain limit up to which the bits can ...
STOCHASTIC METHODS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN STATISTICAL ELECTROMAGNETIC MODELING
(2012-12)
The stochastic computation of electromagnetic (EM) problems is a relatively new topic, yet very important in understanding the true physics due to uncertainties associated with them. To deal with these uncertainties, the ...
DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-ALIGNED INTERDIGITATED ELECTRODES WITHIN A MICROFLUIDIC CHANNEL FOR AN ELECTROCHEMILUMINESCENCE SENSOR
(2012-12)
The aim of this work was to develop a fabrication sequence for forming microchannels with integrated, interdigitated electrodes using only one lithographic step as a platform for developing electrochemiluminescence biosensors. ...
USRP2 IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPRESSIVE SENSING BASED CHANNEL ESTIMATION IN OFDM
(2012-12)
Radio channel impairment is a major concern in any wireless system. Channel estimation is performed at the receiver to obtain the channel response in order to calculate the multipath channel effects. However, the traditional ...
A MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING TECHNIQUE FOR SINGLE-PHASE PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS WITH REDUCED DC-LINK CAPACITOR
(2012-12)
Electrolytic capacitors used in photovoltaic (PV) power conditioning units (PCU) for power decoupling purposes are less reliable in nature. Film capacitors can be adopted instead of electrolytic capacitors if the energy ...
Automated Extraction of Brain Cell Layers using Cell Networks and Active Machine Learning
(2012-12)
The cortex of the brain consists of layers of cells which differ in morphology and their connectivity to the inner parts of the brain. Different areas of the cortex have different laminar structures based on the functionality ...
NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MRI RF SIGNAL INTERACTIONS WITH VARIOUS MEDICAL DEVICES
(2012-12)
This dissertation consists of three topics related to the RF-induced heating on medical devices in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The first topic is the RF heating for passive medical devices. Electromagnetic ...
THE NEW IMAGE PROCESSING ALGORITHM FOR QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE STM DATA ANALYSIS
(2012-12)
Image processing can be used to extract cluster parameters from STM image. The objective observation from the obtained data can be used to understand certain processes in Material Science. One such application is to study ...
A FRAMEWORK OF BELIEF PROPAGATION AND GAME THEORY FOR COGNITIVE RADIO SECURITY AND ROUTING
(2012-08)
With the advent of new high data rate wireless applications, as well as growth of existing wireless services, demand for additional bandwidth is increasing rapidly. Existing spectrum allo-cation policies of the Federal ...
DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF METAL-POLYMER BASED CORE-SHELL ARTIFICIAL NANODIELECTRICS FOR CAPACITOR APPLICATIONS
(2012-05)
The need for high storage capacitors led to the development of polymer based capacitors. The permittivity of the polymer as well as its dielectric strength can be tuned to desired characteristics by introducing either ...
