Analysis and Characterization of Cloud Based Data Center Architectures for Performance, Robustness, Energy Efficiency, and Thermal Uniformity
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Cloud computing is anticipated to revolutionize the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector and has been a mainstream of research over the last decade. Today, the contemporary society relies more than ever ...
Formal Modeling and Verification Methodologies for Quasi-Delay Insensitive Asynchronous Circuits
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Pre-Charge Half Buffers (PCHB) and NULL convention Logic (NCL) are two major commercially successful Quasi-Delay Insensitive (QDI) asynchronous paradigms, which are known for their low-power performance and inherent ...
Performance Enhancement of Pipeline ADCs
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The pipeline ADC is mainstream architecture in wireless communication and digital consumer products because of its speed, resolution, dynamic performance, and power consumption. However, there are three areas of concern ...
Cardiac Output Improvement in Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Mechanical circulatory support devices (MCSDs) have gained widespread clinical acceptance as an effective heart failure (HF) therapy. The concept of harnessing the kinetic energy (KE) available in the forward aortic flow ...
Nonlinear Compensation in Optical Communications Systems using the Nonlinear Fourier Transform
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Nonlinear effects in optical fibers impose a capacity limit for optical communication systems. In this dissertation, the nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT) is investigated as a method to mitigate and compensate for those ...
State-Space Randles Cell Model for Instrument Calibration
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
It is desirable to calibrate electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) instrumentation using a Randles circuit. This presents a challenge as realistic loads, simulated by this circuit, contain theoretical components ...
Metamaterial-Inspired Reconfigurable Series-Fed Arrays
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
One of the biggest challenges in modern day wireless communication systems is to attain agility and provide more degrees of freedom in parameters such as frequency, radiation pattern and polarization. Existing phased array ...
Islanding Detection Using Data Mining Techniques
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Connection of the distributed generators (DGs), poses new challenges for operation and management of the distribution system. An important issue is that of islanding, where a part of the system gets disconnected from the ...
Novel K2W7O22/Ti3C2 Nanocomposite-Based Sensor Device for Breath Acetone Analysis in Diabetic Patients
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Acetone in exhaled breath is gaining attention as a non-invasive means of quantifying blood glucose levels in Diabetics. This calls for development of novel biosensors for the detection of trace concentrations of acetone ...
An Exploration of the Creation and Maintenance of Local Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This study sought to explore the factors that influence the creation and
maintenance of Local Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (LVOADs). Semistructured
interviews were conducted and data was analyzed following ...
