Four-probe measurements of anisotropic in-plane thermal conductivities of thin black phosphorus
(2016-08-26)Phosphorene, a two-dimensional material exfoliated from black phosphorus (BP), is a promising p-type, high-mobility semiconductor. Phosphorene and BP display intrinsic in-plane anisotropic transport properties due to its ... -
Four-probe thermal and thermoelectric transport measurements of bismuth antimony telluride, silicon, and boron arsenide nanostructures
Thermal management in electronic devices has become a significant challenge because of the high power density in nanoelectronic devices. This challenge calls for a better understanding of thermal transport processes in ... -
Four-probe thermal measurement of a carbon nanotube sheet
(2015-08)As advances are made in top-down nanofabrication and bottom-up syntheses of nanostructures, the characteristic length scales encountered in these structures are on the order of the mean free path of the heat carriers or ... -
The fourteen principles of the Toyota Way
(2010-08)The thesis is aimed at discussing the principles of the Toyota Way, philosophy and system of management guidelines, by way of elaborating and evaluating upon its fourteen core principles that are followed by companies ... -

Foveated coding for persistics
(2012-12)Persistics is an advanced framework for processing wide-area aerial surveillance video. This framework handles the tasks of data collection, stitching of multi-sensor imagery, image registration and stabilization, motion ... -
Foveated object recognition by corner search
(2008-05)Here we describe a gray scale object recognition system based on foveated corner finding, the computation of sequential fixation points, and elements of Lowe’s SIFT transform. The system achieves rotational, transformational, ... -
Foveated video compression for lossy packet networks
(2010-12)Unreliable networks can severely hamper transmission of video data. In applications requiring minimal latency, video frames must be compressed using intraframe techniques. We develop a video codec suitable for robot ... -
The fox trot in a nation of cosmopolitans : music and race in early twentieth-century Guatemala
(2013-08)In this dissertation I explore musical importations in early twentieth-century Guatemala, particularly the fox trot, and their relationship to notions of cosmopolitanism, race, and national identity. Although Guatemalans ... -
Fracking and Seismic Risks

Fractal scattering dynamics of the three-dimensional HOCl molecule
(2013-06)We compare the 2D and 3D classical fractal scattering dynamics of Cl and HO for energies just above dissociation of the HOCl molecule, using a realistic potential energy surface for the HOCl molecule and techniques developed ... -
Fractal scattering in a radiation field
(2011-05)We examine the transfer matrix and the stepping times for chaotic scattering of the excess electron in the chlorine ion Cl(-) from the chlorine atom. We use this information to determine the fraction of incident trajectories ... -
Fractals : an exploration into the dimensions of curves and sufaces
(2011-08)When many people think of fractals, they think of the beautiful images created by Mandelbrot’s set or the intricate dragons of Julia’s set. However, these are just the artistic stars of the fractal community. The theory ... -
Fractional frequency reuse for multi-tier cellular networks
(2012-05)Modern cellular systems feature increasingly dense base station deployments, augmented by multiple tiers of access points, in an effort to provide higher network capacity as user traffic, especially data traffic, increases. ... -
A fractional N frequency synthesizer for an adaptive network backplane serial communication system
(2005)An architecture and design of a Phase Locked Loop based frequency synthesizer is developed in this dissertation. Using multiple phases generated by a ring oscillator, this synthesizer is able to generate non-integer ... -
The fractional quantum Hall regime in graphene
(2014-08)In the first part of this work, we describe a theory of the ground states and charge gaps in the fractional quantum Hall states of graphene. The theory relies on knowledge of these properties for filling fractions smaller ... -
A fractional split distribution model for statewide commodity flow analysis
(Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, 2002)This paper proposes and applies a relatively simple, but comprehensive, approach to modeling inter-regional commodity flow volumes. The approach estimates the fraction of commodity consumed at each destination zone that ... -
Fracture abundance and strain in folded cardium formation, Alberta fold-and-thrust belt, Canada
(2014-12)The folded and thrusted Mesozoic clastic sequence of the Canadian Rocky Mountain foothills forms important hydrocarbon reservoirs. Understanding the distribution of natural fractures, their evolution, and timing of formation ... -
Fracture and delamination of elastic thin films on compliant substrates : modeling and simulations
(2011-08)Different fracture modes have been observed in thin film structures. One common approach used in fracture analysis is based on the principle of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), which assumes pre-existing cracks ...
