Drinking Water Treatment Waste as an Alternative for Internal Curing and Cement Replacement in Concrete
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)Concrete can be a highly durable construction material when permeability is low. Hydrating cement paste shrinks through several mechanisms broadly grouped into autogenous and drying shrinkage. These mechanisms cause cracks ... -
Effect of Nanoparticle Shape on the Response of Broadband Metamaterial Absorbers in the Visible Spectrum
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)Optical metamaterials are defined as structures with electromagnetic properties in the visible spectrum that are unique and not present in nature. An example of such a metamaterial is a Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) structure, ... -
Exploration of 3D Nanoscale Image Sensor to Enable Logic and Sensing in Single Chip
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)Nanowire photodetectors have been attracting and gained increased attention due to their potential for very high sensitivity detection. Silicon photodetectors are of particular interest due to their low cost, ease of ... -
First and Second Order Efficiency of Sequential Designs in a Nonlinear Situation with Applications
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)In many statistical problems, optimal designs may be infeasible with their dependence on the parameters, which are unknown a priori. In such circumstances, choosing the next design points adaptively by making good use of ... -
Graphene Nanotechnology the Next Generation Logic, Memory and 3D Integrated Circuits
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)Floating gate transistor is the basic building block of non-volatile flash memory, which is one of the most widely used memory gadgets in modern micro and nano electronic applications. Recently there has been a surge ... -
Implementing Product Line Architecture with Code Generation and Separation
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)Software product line engineering (SPLE) emphasizes high level of reuse and mass customization of the core assets shared by a family of software products. Product line architecture (PLA) is a promising application of ... -
Improving QoE of Video Streaming using Network Awareness
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in the internet traffic due to video content. It is expected that soon 82 percent [2] of global IP traffic will constitute video content. HTTP DASH has been ... -
Internet of Things (IoT) Applications With Diverse Direct Communication Methods
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects or things that are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity - which enable the object to collect and exchange data. Rapid proliferation ... -
Nanoscale Nonvolatile Memory Circuit Design using Emerging Spin Transfer Torque Magnetic Random Access Memory
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)The spin transfer torque magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM) is suitable for embedded and second level cache memories in the mobile CPUs. STT-MRAM is a highly potential nonvolatile memory (NVM) technology. There ... -
Novel Non Precharging Single Bitline 8T Static Random Access Memory
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)Novel 8T SRAM design, employs individual bit-line (BL) and word-line (WL) for each operation. The read operation uses read word-line (RWL) and read bit-line (RBL) respectively. On other hand the write operation employs ... -
