Ubiquitous Interactive Displays are interfaces that extend interaction beyond traditional flat screens. This thesis presents a series of proof-of-concept systems exploring three interactive displays: the first part of this ...

Since its isolation in monolayer sheets, graphene has emerged as an ideal two-dimensional (2D) material with exotic physical properties. For electronics applications, graphene is attractive because of the linear energy-momentum ...

The Scour Rate In COhesive Soils-Erosion Function Apparatus (SRICOS-EFA) method includes an ultimate scour prediction that is the equilibrium maximum pier and contraction scour of cohesive soils over time. The purpose of ...

This dissertation presents an alternative route to achieve ultralow thermal conductivity in a dense solid. Thin films of disordered layered crystalline materials were deposited using Modulated Elemental Reactants (MER) ...

Top-down approaches for the fabrication of semiconductor micro/nano scale elements consist of a series of strategies that use lithographically patterned wafers for generating semiconducting structures in forms ranging from ...

CB in Si1-xGex(001) increases with precursor flux ratio and B is incorporated into active sites at concentrations to C*B (Ts) = 2.5 x 1020 and 4.6 x 1020 cm-3 for x = 0 and 0.18 at Ts = 600 and 500°C, respectively. ...

A novel way to reduce the CPU run time and memory requirement of the nonlinear inverse scattering algorithms is also proposed in this study. We propose a code-division multiplexing scheme for the nonlinear inverse scattering ...
