A Study of Detecting Bond Wire Lift-offs and Surface Defect of High Power IGBT Modules Using Acoustics Waves
(2023)This thesis explores the development of a noninvasive technique that utilizes low- cost piezoelectric resonators for the detection of bond wire lift-off in isolated gate bipolar junction transistor (IGBT) modules. To ... -
Advanced Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing Systems with Cyclic Prefix-Less Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output Discrete Fourier Transform Spreading and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles-Assisted Cyclic Postfixed Windowed Schemes
(2023)In the proper designing of spectrally efficient 5th Generation (5G)/Beyond 5G (B5G) systems, minimization of Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the time domain Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM)/Cyclic ... -
“Beaten on Both Sides”: A Reevaluation of the Anti-Calvinism of Andrewes, Neile, and Laud
(2023)This is a case of mistaken identity. Under the early Stuart kings, James I and Charles I, a ragtag group of churchmen challenged the orthodoxy and orthopraxy of the Church of England and catalyzed civil war. They have been ... -
Characterization of 5-methylcytosine dioxygenase Tet2 and rescue of mutant Tet2 activity by using turbo co-substrate
(2023)Regulation of epigenetic transcription mediated by 5-methylcytosine (5mC) plays a critical role in eukaryotic development. Demethylation of these epigenetic marks is accomplished by sequential oxidation by ten-eleven ... -
Comparative Study of LRFR and LFR Methods of Rating for Missouri Prestressed Bridges
(2023)Bridge load rating is a crucial aspect of bridge evaluation and management, providing essential information regarding a bridge's capacity to safely accommodate traffic loads. For public safety, it is a crucial process for ... -
Development of Closomer And MIBG based Nanoformulation: Application to HIV Prevention and Neuroblastoma Therapy
(2023)This dissertation is divided into two parts. Part #1 focuses on the development and characterization of closomer based nanoformulation for the prevention of HIV/AIDS sexual transmission. Part #2 focuses on the development ... -
Effective Surface Areas and Adsorption Capacity of Graphene with Vacancies
(2023)Graphene has been heavily researched since Geim and Novosolov won the nobel prize in physics for its mechanical exfoliation from graphite. The atomically thin crystal of carbon atoms has been reported to have novel properties ... -
Efficient Automated Generation of Local Descriptors for Use in ab initio Electronic Structure Simulations
(2023)First-principles electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) are well-known to have a high computational cost that scales algorithmically as O(N³), where N is the number of electrons. Reducing ... -
Evaluation of the Impact of Anti-Icing Solution on Concrete Durability
(2023)Winter roadway maintenance is based on applying salt to the surface of the pavement in order to lower the freezing point and break the bond of snow and ice to improve traction and safety. Conventional winter maintenance ... -
Explainable AI framework through Multi-Context Multi-Dimensional Graph Neural Network
(2023)In this research, we explored the multifaceted realm of digital communication, emphasizing social media channels such as Twitter and Reddit, complemented by conventional data-gathering techniques like focus group discussions ... -
Exploration of Low SWaP(Size,Weight and Power) Diffuse Optical Tomography and Imaging Technique for Biometrics
(2023)There have been significant advancements in biometric systems, with a particular focus on Iris, facial, and fingerprint recognition. My research, however, is centered around wrist vein recognition and involves the development ... -
Exploring Family Resilience and Connectedness During a Pandemic in Families Raising a Child with a Neurodevelopmental Disorder
