Spectral Methods for Testing of Digital Circuits
(2009-06-23)
Due to increasing design complexities of digital circuits in recent years, a growing problem in Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) digital circuit testing is the exponential rise in the test generation complexity and an ...
Spectroscopic and kinetic investigation of two unusual structural features found in eukaryotic cysteine dioxygenase
(2009-12-17)
Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) is a mononuclear ferrous enzyme located at a branch-point in cysteine metabolism and catalyzes the oxidation of L-cysteine using both atoms of dioxygen. Although several studies have attempted ...
A spectroscopic neutral density diagnostic and exploration of the role of metastable states in fusion and astrophysical plasmas
(2023-12-04)
Understanding the transition region between fully ionized and neutrally dominated plasmas is important to the study of the magnetosphere of the earth, the corona/chromosphere transition regions of the sun, and detached ...
Spectrum Awareness Testbed
(2021-12-06)
This thesis presents a flexible and scalable spectrum awareness testbed targeting a wideband frequency range. Due to the static frequency allocation scheme, spectrum scarcity has become a problem in communications. ...
Spectrum Educational Consulting - CSCW Tool for Pre-service Teacher Training
(2011-08-04)
