Accurate radio frequency (RF) noise models for individual transistors
are critical to minimize noise during mixed-signal analog and RF circuit design.
This dissertation proposes two improved RF noise models
for SiGe ...
Improved Understanding of Mitotic-Inhibiting Herbicide Resistance in Poa annua and Eleusine indica
(2021-04-12)
Poa annua is a problematic weed that infests golf courses, sports fields, and home lawns. Mitotic-inhibiting herbicides are often used to control Poa annua in these affected areas. However, resistance to mitotic-inhibiting ...
The Improvement of Computer Performance and Self-Efficacy Among Seniors Citizens Through Training and Virtual Classrooms
(2009-04-22)
Senior citizens represent the fastest growing demographic worldwide. As
indicated in the Year 2000 U.S. census, there are 35 million people 65 years old or older
in the United States, and by 2030, it is estimated that ...
Improvement of Indoor Air Quality Through The Development of Polymeric Microfibrous Material
(2009-12-15)
It was desired to create a healthier and more comfortable living environment for persons whom spend an increasingly amount of time indoors. Two main goals are necessary for the accomplishments of this objective: develop ...
An Improvement on Maximum Residual Energy Routing of Sensor Networks
(2005-08-15)
When Maximum Residual Energy Routing is adopted in actual battery-powered sensor networks, how to further improve the energy consumption in this protocol and prolong the system lifetime becomes a critical problem. In sensor ...
Improvements in Construction Stormwater Treatment using Flocculants
(2022-05-03)
Construction stormwater runoff constitutes an increased risk for downstream water bodies if unmanaged sediment-laden discharge exits a construction site. Federal and state regulations emphasize the significance of erosion ...
Improvements in Stormwater Detention Technologies through Large-Scale Testing Techniques
(2022-05-05)
Due to urbanization and a changing climate, stormwater management has become increasingly discussed, regulated, and researched. In many areas of the United States, one effect of climate change has taken form in more intense ...
Improvements in the Design and Application of Erosion and Sediment Control Technologies for the Construction Industry
(2016-12-07)

(2022-05-03)
SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) are rapidly growing as commercial IC technologies
in the modern industry [1]. The relevant circuit design is closely related to the accuracy of the
compact model. This work ...
Improving bipolar electrode sensors by improving electrochemiluminescence efficiency of Ru(bpy)3Cl2
(2020-09-28)
Bipolar electrochemistry belongs to the branch of electrochemistry where cathodic and anodic processes can be coupled. As there is no direct contact establishes between the bipolar electrodes and electrical connection, the ...
Improving Camber Predictions for Precast, Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders
(2016-05-03)
In precast, prestressed concrete construction, the eccentricity of the prestressing force typically results in a net upward girder deflection known as camber. Camber is first observed at the time of prestress transfer and ...
Improving Coastal Plain Hardwoods for White-tailed Deer and Wild Turkeys with Forest Stand Improvement and Prescribed Fire
(2020-04-22)
Hardwood forests in the Coastal Plain often are not actively managed, as many landowners and managers fear that forest management will damage mast-producing hardwood species. Accordingly, forage and cover for game species, ...
Improving CRPA Anti-Jamming Performance with Virtual Array Integration
