The SiC devices have been a strong competitor than the conventional Si devices due to the superior characteristics of high operating voltage, low forward voltage, fast sw[...]

As urban areas continue to grow and become denser, transit will be vital in the success and progress of metropolitans. Light rail, particularly in the United States, has [...]

Nano-sized cubes made from nucleic acid material (NANPs) are ideal scaffolds for therapeutic nucleic acids (TNAs). Both utilize sequence specificity through base-pairing,[...]

Hybrid simulation is an increasingly popular experimental method for structural dynamics research, as it offers the realism and exploratory power of full-scale testing at[...]

This dissertation investigated the association of course delivery method with persistence of first-time, beginning, and transfer nontraditional undergraduate students at [...]

The voltage regulator is a mechanism that permits the change in turns ratio or output voltage of a distribution transformer for providing a constant magnitude voltage to [...]

Most of the optimization problems encountered in engineering have conflicting objectives. In order to solve these problems, genetic algorithms (GAs) and gradient-based me[...]

Pressurizer (PZR) behavior in typical pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants is well understood. Pressure control is relatively straightforward for a typica[...]
