Energy and performance are important aspects of microprocessors and their verification and management require, measurement, estimation and analysis and these aspects are discussed through this research. A processor executes ...
Efficacy of Price Interventions for Mitigating Childhood Obesity by Promoting Healthy Food Choices: An fMRI Study in Parents with Low Socioeconomic Status
(2016-12-08)
Childhood obesity has been a rising problem among rural and low income populations. Childhood obesity increases the risk of various diseases later in life. Government has tried several price interventions such as lowering ...
Design and Simulation of Cryogenic Test Circuits
(2016-07-27)
New technologies are being introduced in anticipation of the end of Moore’s Law, such as quantum computing, in hopes that the speed gains from the different topologies will offset the increase in size of the devices. Fast ...
Layer-Specific Connectivity Analysis with High-Resolution Functional MRI in Human Brain
(2016-12-09)
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been increasingly used for understanding the human brain connectome. In this work, we utilized high-resolution fMRI to investigate the sensitivity of layer-specific connectivity ...
QoS/QoE Provisioning in Emerging 5G Wireless Networks
(2016-12-09)
In recent years, there has been a drastic growth in wireless traffic, and in the near future, a
majority of wireless traffic will be video-related. How to support the increasing demand of radio
resources from the ...
Electromagnetic Characterization of a PCB Salinity Sensor
(2016-07-20)
Saltwater intrusion occurs when seawater contaminates sources of freshwater and is a major concern for coastal communities. Presented is a sensor developed for easily measuring saltwater intrusion. The sensor is comprised ...
Mobile Robot for Retail Inventory Using RFID
(2016-12-10)
The use of RFID technology is increasing in retail stores, because it improves the performance of automated checkout, inventory and theft detection systems. In this dissertation, we present a novel implementation of a ...
