Estimating Tau (τ) from Left Ventricular Pressure Waveforms During Vena Caval Occlusions
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Many people are dependent on artificial pacemakers to have a normal cardiac function. Due to this it is important to study the effects of pacing on cardiac function, as well as, to determine the best site to pace with an ...
Damping Interarea Oscillations in Power Systems with DFIG
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
With rapid depletion of fossil fuels and increasing environmental concerns, the trend to capture renewable energy, especially through wind energy resources, is increasing. The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is the ...
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, ...
Calculating Cardiovascular Lumped-Parameter Model Values by Injecting Small Volume Perturbations in an Isovolumic Heart
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Diagnosing cardiac patient problems contains many uncertainties, and to fully diagnose the patient's condition usually requires a lengthy drug regimen to see what works and what does not. Compounding this problem is that ...
Minimum Entropy Generation in the Cardiovascular System
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
This study was performed under the motivation to find a scheme that could
describe the complex behavior of cardiovascular homeostasis. This is hypothesized to
be manifested in a thermodynamic description of the cardiovascular ...
Thermo-Mechanical Selective Laser Assisted Die Transfer
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) techniques show promise as a disruptive technology which will enable the placement of components smaller than what conventional pick-and-place techniques are capable of today. Limitations ...
The Effects of Spatial and Temporal Properties on a Viscoelastic Model of the Dyssynchronous Canine Heart
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
In this study, lumped parameter cardiovascular modeling has been used to understand
the influence of muscle properties on mechanical dyssynchrony (MD) as well as general
muscle dynamics. Incorporating viscous influence ...
Design of a Reconfigurable Pulsed Quad-Cell for Cellular-Automata-Based Conformal Computing
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
This paper presents the design of a reconfigurable asynchronous unit, called the pulsed quad-cell (PQ-cell), for conformal computing. The conformal computing vision is to create computational materials that can conform to ...
Impedance-Based Wireless Sensor Network for Metal-Protective Coating Evaluation
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Research has focused on the influences of flowing fluid on the corrosion of bare metals, but there is little emphasis on the degradation of metal-protective coating. Evaluating the metal-protective coating usually uses the ...
A New Printed Quasi-Landstorfor Antenna
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
In this thesis, a new type of printed quasi-Landstorfer antenna is present ed. The
proposed antenna utilizes parasitic radiators to realize a higher gain. The antc1ma is
measured to have a resonant frequency of 2.45 GHz ...
