Revising the Eighteenth-Century Epistolary Novel: Creating A More Inclusive Literary History
(2022-05-03)
Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) has remained the most central character in accounts of the English epistolary novel of the eighteenth century since the publication of Pamela (1740). His technique of ‘writing to the moment’ ...
Revisiting the Intersection Problem for Maximum Packings of K_(6n+5) with Triples
(2017-04-16)
In 1989, Gaetano Quattrocchi gave a complete solution of the intersection problem for maximum packings of K_(6n+5) with triples when the leave (a 4--cycle) is the same in each maximum packing. Quattrocchi showed that I[2]=2 ...
Revisiting the OSHA Hand Speed Constant
(2017-11-30)
This research focused on after-reach and over-reach in automated systems. OSHA uses a hand speed constant developed in 1935 (1.6 m/s) to calculate the “safe distance” on dual palm buttons and presence sensing devices. The ...
Revitalizing Pepperell Mill Town by recreating social values: Post-industrial landscape design approach
(2017-05-15)
The main task of this project is to revitalize the Pepper Mill town by regenerating social values in the adjacent community. Due to former meaningful interconnections between the residents and the abundant post-industrial ...
Revoevolution in the Fascist Ideosis: The Comedy of Bill Hicks
(2009-07-13)
Arising from the inconsistencies generated by serious discourse, comedy contains the potential to expose the dominant social logic that imbues cultural forms with meanings and values that perpetuate certain methods of ...
The Revolt of the Majors: How the Air Force Changed After Vietnam
(2006-12-15)
During the Vietnam War, the United States Air Force had performed inconsistently and after the war was faced with a number of challenges. Many of the Air Force senior leadership felt that the challenges could be resolved ...
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, ...
RF Design and Analysis of a Novel Elliptical Reduced Surface Wave Antenna for Wireless Applications
(2010-04-02)
The Reduced Surface Wave (RSW) antenna is a relatively new class of microstrip patch
antenna. An RSW antenna has the ability to drastically reduce both surface and lateral wave
radiation, which leads to an increase in ...
RF Linearity Analysis In Nano Scale CMOS Using Harmonic Balance Device Simulations
(2005-12-15)
In this thesis, Intermodulation Linearity characteristics of CMOS have been
analyzed using power series and Harmonic Balance(HB) Method. Harmonic Bal-
ance method is a frequency domain steady state analysis method used ...
RF Reconfigurable Filter
(2017-04-15)
In this paper, a fully differential noise-cancelling LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) with out-of-band rejection notch filter combined with a programmable gain-boost N-path bandpass filter is proposed. The wide-band noise-cancelling ...
RF Sensing for Internet of Things: When Machine Learning Meets Channel State Information
(2018-07-24)
With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) techniques, RF sensing has found wide applications for, e.g., indoor localization, activity recognition, and healthcare. In this dissertation, we investigate the problem ...
RFIC Design for Software-Defined Radio Receiver Frontend
(2013-11-11)
This thesis presents an RF receiver frontend with a 4-path passive mixer for software defined radio (SDR) applications. By utilizing frequency translation property of the passive mixer, the out of band interference experiences ...
