Imaging Spin Properties using Spatially Varying Magnetic Fields
Labanowski, Dominic ( 2012-06 )Electronic devices have advanced according to Moore’s law for a number of years. The small sizes of modern electronics have led to new complications (due to short gate lengths, high transistor density, etc.) that will ... -
Immunologically Modified Field Effect Transistor for Protein Detection in Biologic Fluids
Crawford, Bridget ( 2014-05 )Field effect transistors (FETs) are solid-state electrical devices with semiconductor channels through which charge carriers migrate and generate current. The application of an electric field proximal to the conductive ... -
The Impact of DDR1 on Mechanics and Mineralization of Mice Femora
Weiss, Brent ( 2017-05 )Collagen type I is the most abundant extracellular matrix protein and the major structural component of connective tissues found in the human body. Collagen fibrils play a critical role in the mineralization and mechanics ... -
Impact of Moisture on the Properties of LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2 (NMC) Cathodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Dong, Liang ( 2018-05 )Lithium-ion battery (LIB) are in high demand for portable electronic devices and EV today. Much attention has been paid to cathode material since it governs the energy density of LIB. LiNi_x Co_y Mn_(1-x-y) O_2 (NMC) ... -
Impact of Organic Loading Rates on Variable-Temperature Biodigesters
Tamkin, Abigail ( 2012-06 )Anaerobic digestion has been studied under variable temperature conditions, but not to the extremes that occur in temperate climates. This experiment and analysis examine the performance of several organic loading rates ... -
IMPLEMENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF PACKET PRIORITY QUEUE IN WIRELESS ACCESS FOR THE VEHICULAR ENVIRONMENT
