Noninvasive hepatic lipid quantification with magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy
(2019-04-18)
Excessive accumulation of intra-hepatocellular lipid (IHCL) can lead to one of the most common forms of chronic liver diseases in adults, the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), that comprises a range of liver ...
RF Characterization and Modeling of 14nm RF FinFETs
(2019-12-04)
This work focuses on the characterization and compact
modeling of RF characteristics of both n- and p-channel transistors fabricated using 14-nm FinFET technologies.
DC I-V, as well as its higher order derivatives, C-V, ...
Digital Simulation and Recreation of a Vacuum Tube Guitar Amp
(2020-04-14)
This thesis presents the process of designing, building, and testing a system that will be referred to herein as the Digital Guitar Amplifier. The Digital Guitar Amplifier is a real time digital audio signal processing ...
Designing an Anisotropic Noise Filter for Measuring Critical Dimension and Line Edge Roughness from SEM Images
(2018-04-23)
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) is often employed in inspecting patterns transferred through a lithographic process. A typical inspection is to measure the critical dimension (CD) and line edge roughness (LER) of ...
Fabrication and Characterization of Carbon Nanotubes on Ceramic and Silicon Substrates for High Temperature Electronic Device Applications
(2018-04-24)
This dissertation focuses on characterization and fabrication of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by DC plasma sputtering and thermal chemical vapor deposition techniques (CVD) on silicon (Si) and ceramic (Al2O3) substrates. ...
Neural correlates of emotions in dogs
(2018-04-24)
Dogs are considered to be man’s best friend; they share a close and intense relationship with humans and have shown to excel in reading human social cues, including facial cues. Due to this intimate relationship shared ...
Advanced Clustering Methods and Applications for Data Visualization
(2018-04-13)
Categorizing all sorts of data without any label information is one of the most important tasks in preprocessing raw data. To achieve that, an unsupervised learning technique, called clustering, is utilized. Generally, ...
Contact-free Breathing Rate Monitoring with Smartphones: A Sonar Phase Approach
(2018-07-30)
Vital sign (e.g., respiration rate) monitoring has become increasingly more important because it offers useful clues of medical conditions such as sleep disorders. There is a compelling need for technologies that enable ...
Dynamic Model Development and System Study of Ternary Pumped Storage Hydropower
(2019-04-18)
The conventional role of pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is energy storage: it generates power when it operates as a hydro turbine, and store energy from the electric grid when pumping water from the lower reservoir to the ...
Soft Video Delivery by Metadata Reduction over LTE
(2019-12-05)
New methods for media delivery, specifically video, have become increasingly important
over the past decade. Along with increased user need for video streaming, video is now a majority
of the traffic on the internet. In ...
