The Context and Concept of Individual and Household Preparedness: The Case of Fako Division in Cameroon
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Almost every day, we see and hear about disasters impacting individuals and households in communities worldwide. Impacts experienced include loss of life and injury, loss of property, and more. Disasters are often devastating ...
A Conceptual Model of the Individual and Household Recovery Process: Examining Hurricane Sandy
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This study examined how comprehensively the Bolin and Trainer (1978) model of recovery reflects the recovery process of individuals and households. A review of the literature since 1978 suggested that various revisions and ...
Solution Processing Electronics Using Si6 H12 Inks: Poly-Si TFTs and Co-Si MOS Capacitors
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
The development of new materials and processes for electronic devices has been driven by the integrated circuit (IC) industry since the dawn of the computer era. After several decades of '"Moore's Law"-type innovation, ...
Formal Verification Techniques for Safety Critical Medical Device Software Control
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Safety-critical medical devices play an important role in improving patients health and
lifestyle. Faulty behaviors of such devices can cause harm or even death. Often these faulty
behaviors are caused due to bugs in ...
Multisine Excitation Design to Increase the Efficiency of System Identification Signal Generation and Analysis
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Reducing sample frequencies in measurement systems can save power, but reduction to the point of undersampling results in aliasing and possible signal distortion. Nonlinearities of the system under test can also lead to ...
The Capillary-Centric Model of Coupling-As-Thermodynamics
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Models of ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) have historically described the heart as a
function of its energetic interaction with the arterial system. However, these models either
represent the dynamic, adaptive ...
Intelligent and Efficient Embedded Video Memory Design in the Era of Big Data
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The growing popularity of smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices has created an exponential demand for video applications in today’s society. Mobile device users want their devices to achieve a long battery lifetime ...
Perceptions of Emergency Managers on Vulnerability and Institutional Preparedness of Colleges and Universities in the Red River Valley
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The present study examines emergency management related perceptions of campus officials who are responsible for overseeing the general disaster preparedness of at five diverse colleges and universities in the Red River ...
Hybrid Renewable Energy System Using Doubly-Fed Induction Generator and Multilevel Inverter
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The proposed hybrid system generates AC power by combining solar and wind energy converted by a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG). The DFIG, driven by a wind turbine, needs rotor excitation so the stator can supply a ...
Designing of a Small Wearable Conformal Phased Array Antenna for Wireless Communications
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
In this thesis, a unique design of a self-adapting conformal phased-array antenna system for wireless communications is presented. The antenna system is comprised of one microstrip antenna array and a sensor circuit. A 1x4 ...
