Association of chronic self-perceived stress with mortality and health status outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease: insights from the portrait registry
(2020)The prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is increasing worldwide and is estimated to affect about 360 million patients by 2030. Patients with PAD are at a higher risk of premature mortality and suffer from disability ... -
Static random-access memory designs based on different FinFET at lower technology node (7nm)
(2019)The Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) has a significant performance impact on current nanoelectronics systems. To improve SRAM efficiency, it is important to utilize emerging technologies to overcome short-channel effects ... -
Measuring smokers' inhibitory control to smoking cues by a novel mouse trajectory tracking method
(2019)Deprivation from nicotine has been shown to affect executive cognitive functioning in smokers causing an inability to maintain cognitive control over their behavior, which may be directly linked to smoking relapse. Past ... -
Design and practical realization of polymorphic crosstalk circuits using 65nm TSMC PDK
(2019)As the technology node scales down, the coupling capacitance between the adjacent metal lines increases. With an increase in this electrostatic coupling, the unwanted signal interference also increases, which is popularly ... -

(2019)This thesis is a case study that examines the problems the US Army encountered in the implementation of the Lieber Code in 1863 Jackson County, Missouri. My arguments are largely based on manuscript sources and microfilmed ... -
Frequency and time domain analysis of carbon nanotubes with realistic shape and distribution
(2019)Carbon nanotube (CNT) composites have been of significant research interest in a wide range of applications. For electromagnetic applications, simplifying assumptions regarding the distribution and shapes of the CNTs are ... -
A Quantitative Analysis of the Role of Antihypertensive Drug Dose on Hypertension in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease
(2019)Hypertension (HTN) is a highly prevalent and major risk factor for poor cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Prior research suggests that HTN is underdiagnosed and undertreated in children ... -
Extinction of Chromosomes due to Specialization is a Universal Occurrence
(2019)The human X and Y chromosomes evolved from a pair of autosomes approximately 180 million years ago. Despite their shared evolutionary origin, extensive genetic decay has resulted in the human Y chromosome losing 97% of its ... -
A Spatial Analysis of Homicide and Dangerous Buildings in Kansas City, Missouri

Representations of the Dreaming Mind in Nineteenth-Century French Art
(2019)During the nineteenth century, philosophic and popular interest in dreams and the unconscious increased dramatically. Simultaneously, artists and writers increasingly recognized the immense creative impulses that resided ... -
Improving Extreme Low-light Image Denoising via Residual Learning
(2019)Taking a satisfactory picture in a low-light environment remains a challenging problem. Low-light imaging mainly suffers from noise due to the low signal-to-noise ratio. Many methods have been proposed for the task of image ... -
Introduction and application of GEANT4: A comparison of depth-dose
(2019)Geometry ANd Tracking 4 (GEANT4) is an object-oriented C++ based program that uses Monte Carlo methods to simulate the passage of particles through matter. A powerful application, GEANT4, allows the user to define variables ... -
Ouroboros
(2019)I find it boring to write about myself. I think this begins with the fact that I do not consider myself to be an inherently interesting person. This isn’t a bad thing. There is no right way. For those of us non-interesting ... -
