Celtikci, Baris. "Preparation Of Lead-free Bzt-bct Thin Films By Chemical Solution Deposition And Their Characterization." Master's thesis, METU, 2012. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12614623/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
In the presented thesis, lead-free Ba(Ti0.8Zr0.2)O3-(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (BZT-BCT) thin films were deposited on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates using chemical solution deposition method and then the effect of process parameters were investigated to obtain optimum parameters of these lead-free thin films. The phase was selected near to the morphotropic phase boundary (MPH) to increase the number of polarization directions where rhombohedral and tetragonal phases exist together.
In this study, the effect of sintering temperatures on microstructure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties were studied systematically. Among the various high-quality BZT-BCT thin films with uniform thickness, the optimum dielectric and ferroelectric responses were observed for films annealed at 800 oC for 1 h sintering time. The thickness was kept constant for all measurements as 500 nm (triple layered films). Therefore, the average grain sizes were found around 60 nm for samples sintered at 700,750 and 800 oC.
BZT-BCT thin films sintered at 800 oC showed effective remnant polarization and coercive field values of 2.9 µC/cm2 and 49.4 kV/cm, together with a high dielectric constant and low loss tangent of 365.6 and 3.52 %, respectively, at a frequency of 600 kHz due to pure perovskite phase showing full crystallization and minimum surface porosity obtained at this temperature.

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif du présent travail est de concevoir, réaliser et optimiser des matériaux accordables pour des applications en électronique à hautes fréquences. Le composant le plus simple permettant de mettre à profit cette étude est le condensateur accordable avec une tension continue qui peut être ensuite intégrée dans des dispositifs microondes accordables ou reconfigurables. Le condensteur peut être en couches minces ou en céramique. Pour réaliser de tels composants, on doit utiliser des matériaux présentant de faible pertes diélectriques, une permitivité élevée, une accordabilité importante et une bonne stabilité de la fréquence de résonance avec la température. Pour cela, nous avons mené une étude sur des matériaux ferroélectriques classiques et relaxeurs afin, d’une part d’optimiser les conditions de synthèse, et d’autre part d’améliorer leurs propriétés électriques pour des applications radiofréquences et microondes. Nous avons étudié des matériaux ferroélectriques de phase pérovskite. Il s’agit du titane de baryum et de strontium (BST) qui est un ferroélectrique classique, du titane de baryum et de zircone (BZT) qui selon sa composition peut être classique ou relaxeur et des dérivées du BZT obtenues par substitution au niveau des sites pérovskites a et b respectivement par du bismuth et par du zinc-niobium. Nous avons aussi synthétisé et caractérisé des matériaux de phase pyrochlore de formule Bi1. 5ZnNb1. 5O7. Ces études vont de l’élaboration de tous ces matériaux sous forme de céramiques et de couches minces, suivies de caractérisations physico-chimiques, structurales, diélectriques et ferroélectriques dans une large gamme de fréquences et de températuresThe main objective of this work is to design, implement and optimize tunable materials for electronic applications at high frequencies. The easiest component to build on this study is the tunable capacitor with a voltage which can then be integrated into microwave devices such as tunable or reconfigurable resonators, filters, antennas. . . Etc. The capacitor can be either thin film or ceramic-based. To produce such components we must use materials which must have low dielectric loss, high dielectric permittivity, high tunability and stability of the resonant frequency of the capacitor with the temperature. For this, we conducted a detailed study of classical and relaxor ferroelectric materials in order, firstly to optimize the synthesis conditions, and secondly to improve their electrical properties for radiofrequencies and microwave applications. We have studied ferroelectric materials with perovskite phase, namely barium titanate strontium (BST) which is a classical ferroelectric and barium zirconium (BZT) which according to its composition can be a classical ferroelectric or relaxor ferroelectric and the derivatives of BaZr0. 1Ti0. 9O3 obtained by substituting bismuth and zinc-niobium respectively at A and B sites of the perovskite phase. We also synthesized and characterized the pyrochlore phase materials of bismuth zinc niobate, with composition of Bi1. 5ZnNb1. 5O7. The studies we have done range from the development of these materials in the form of ceramics and thin films, followed by characterizations to determine their physico-chemical properties, structural dielectric and ferroelectric in a range wide of frequencies and temperature

Sciacovelli, Luca. "Simulation numérique d'écoulements turbulents de gaz dense." Thesis, Paris, ENSAM, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016ENAM0061/document.
Full textAbstract:
Les écoulements turbulents de gaz denses, qui sont d’un grand intérêt pour un large éventail d'applications, sont le siège de phénomènes physiques encore peu connus et difficiles à étudier par des approches expérimentale. Dans ce travail, nous étudions pour la première fois l’influence des effets de gaz denses sur la structure de la turbulence compressible à l’aide de simulations numériques. Le fluide considéré est le PP11, un fluorocarbure lourd, dont le comportement thermodynamique a été représenté à l’aide de différentes lois d’état, afin de quantifier la sensibilité des solutions aux choix de modélisation. Nous avons considéré d’abord la décroissance d’une turbulence homogène isotrope compressible. Les fluctuations de température sont négligeables, alors que celles de la vitesse du son sont importantes à cause de leur forte dépendance de la densité. Le comportement particulier de la vitesse du son modifie de manière significative la structure de la turbulence, conduisant à la formation de shocklets de détente. L’analyse de la contribution des différentes structures à la dissipation d’énergie et à la génération d’enstrophie montre que, pour un gaz dense, les régions de forte dilatation jouent un rôle similaire à celles de forte compression, contrairement aux gaz parfaits, dans lesquels le comportement est fortement dissymétrique. Ensuite, nous avons mené des simulations numériques pour une configuration de canal plan en régime supersonique, pour plusieurs valeurs des nombres de Mach et de Reynolds. Les résultats confirment la validité de l’hypothèse de Morkovin. L’introduction d’une loi d’échelle semi-locale prenant en compte le variations de densité et viscosité, permet de comparer les profils des grandeurs turbulentes (contraintes de Reynolds, anisotropie, budgets d’énergie) avec ces observés en gaz parfait. Les variables thermodynamiques, quant à elles, présentent une évolution très différente pour un gaz parfait et pour un gaz dense, la chaleur spécifique élevée de ce dernier conduisant à un découplage des effets dynamiques et thermiques et à un comportement proche de celui d’un fluide incompressible avec des propriétés variablesDense gas turbulent flows, of great interest for a wide range of engineering applications, exhibit physical phenomena that are still poorly understood and difficult to reproduce experimentally. In this work, we study for the first time the influence of dense gas effects on the structure of compressible turbulence by means of numerical simulations. The fluid considered is PP11, a heavy fluorocarbon, whose thermodynamic behavior is described by means of different equations of state to quantify the sensitivity of solutions to modelling choices. First, we considered the decay of compressible homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Temperature fluctuations are found to be negligible, whereas those of the speed of sound are large because of the strong dependence on density. The peculiar behavior of the speed of sound significantly modifies the structure of the turbulence, leading to the occurrence of expansion shocklets. The analysis of the contribution of the different structures to energy dissipation and enstrophy generation shows that, for a dense gas, high expansion regions play a role similar to high compression ones, unlike perfect gases, in which the observed behaviour is highly asymmetric. Then, we carried out numerical simulations of a supersonic turbulent channel flow for several values of Mach and Reynolds numbers. The results confirm the validity of the Morkovin' hypothesis. The introduction of a semi-local scaling, taking into account density and viscosity variations across the channel, allow to compare the wall-normal profiles of turbulent quantities (Reynolds stresses, anisotropy, energy budgets) with those observed in ideal gases. Nevertheless, the thermodynamic variables exhibit a different evolution between perfect and dense gases, since the high specific heats of the latter lead to a decoupling of dynamic and thermal effects, and to a behavior close to that of variable property incompressible fluids

Full textAbstract:
We have examined three problems involving steady flows of Navier-Stokes fluids. In each problem non-classical effects are considered. In the first two problems, we consider fluids which have bulk viscosities which are much larger than their shear viscosities. In the last problem, we examine steady supersonic flows of a Bethe-Zel'dovich-Thompson (BZT) fluid over a thin airfoil or turbine blade. BZT fluids are fluids in which the fundamental derivative of gasdynamics changes sign during an isentropic expansion or compression.
In the first problem we consider the effects of large bulk viscosity on the structure of the inviscid approximation using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. When the ratio of bulk to shear viscosity is of the order of the square root of the Reynolds number we find that the bulk viscosity effects are important in the first corrections to the conventional boundary layer and outer inviscid flow. At first order the outer flow is found to be frictional, rotational, and non-isentropic for large bulk viscosity fluids. The pressure is found to have first order variations across the boundary layer and the temperature equation is seen to have two additional source terms at first order when the bulk viscosity is large.
In the second problem, we consider the reflection of an oblique shock from a laminar flat plate boundary layer. The flow is taken to be two-dimensional, steady, and the gas model is taken to be a perfect gas with constant Prandtl number. The plate is taken to be adiabatic. The full Navier-Stokes equations are solved using a weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) numerical scheme. We show that shock-induced separation can be suppressed once the bulk viscosity is large enough.
In the third problem, we solve a quartic Burgers equation to describe the steady, two-dimensional, inviscid supersonic flow field generated by thin airfoils. The Burgers equation is solved using the WENO technique. Phenomena of interest include the partial and complete disintegration of compression shocks, the formation of expansion shocks, and the collision of expansion and compression shocks.Ph. D.

Tamb?m chamado de BZT, esse material pode sofrer significativas mudan?as em suas propriedades el?tricas diante de pequenas varia??es do teor de zirc?nio na rede cristalina. O presente trabalho consiste no estudo dos efeitos dos par?metros de deposi??o de filmes finos de BaTi0,75Zr0,25O3 pelo m?todo de spin-coating sobre sua morfologia e propriedades f?sicas, utilizando um planejamento experimental do tipo Box-Behnken. A resina utilizada no processo de deposi??o foi sintetizada pelo m?todo dos precursores polim?ricos (Pechini) e foi subsequentemente dividida em tr?s parcelas cada qual teve sua viscosidade ajustada para 10, 20 e 30 mPa?s por meio de um viscos?metro rotativo. As resinas foram depositadas em substratos de Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si pelo m?todo de spin-coating em 15 diferentes combina??es de viscosidade, velocidade de rota??o (3000, 5500 e 8000 rpm) e n?mero de camadas depositadas (5, 8 e 11 camadas) previstas no planejamento e ent?o calcinadas a 800?C por 1h. A fase cristalina dos filmes foi determinada por difra??o de Raios-X (DRX) e indexada com a carta JCPDS 36-0019. Morfologia da superf?cie e tamanho de gr?o foram observados por meio de microscopia de for?a at?mica (AFM) indicando filmes bem densificados e tamanho m?dio de gr?o em torno de 50nm. Imagens da se??o transversal dos filmes foram obtidas por interm?dio de microscopia eletr?nica de varredura com emiss?o de campo (MEV-FEG), indicando espessuras bem uniformes variando de 140-700 nm entre amostras. Medidas de capacit?ncia foram realizadas ? temperatura ambiente com a ajuda de um analisador de imped?ncia.

Ferroelectric ceramics with perovskite structure (ABO3) are widely used in solid state memories (FeRAM?s and DRAM's) as well as multilayered capacitors, especially as a thin films. When doped with zirconium ions, BaTiO3-based materials form a solid solution known as barium zirconate titanate (BaTi1-xZrxO3). Also called BZT, this material can undergo significant changes in their electrical properties for a small variation of zirconium content in the crystal lattice. The present work is the study of the effects of deposition parameters of BaTi0,75Zr0,25O3 thin films by spin-coating method on their morphology and physical properties, through an experimental design of the Box-Behnken type. The resin used in the process has been synthesized by the polymeric precursor method (Pechini) and subsequently split into three portions each of which has its viscosity adjusted to 10, 20 and 30 mPa?s by means of a rotary viscometer. The resins were then deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by spin-coating method on 15 different combinations of viscosity, spin speed (3000, 5500 and 8000 rpm) and the number of deposited layers (5, 8 and 11 layers) and then calcined at 800 ? C for 1 h. The phase composition of the films was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and indexed with the JCPDS 36-0019. Surface morphology and grain size were observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) indicating uniform films and average grain size around 40 nm. Images of the cross section of the films were obtained by scanning electron microscopy field emission (SEM-FEG), indicating very uniform thicknesses ranging from 140-700 nm between samples. Capacitance measurements were performed at room temperature using an impedance analyzer. The films presented dielectric constant values of 55-305 at 100kHz and low dielectric loss. The design indicated no significant interaction effects between the deposition parameters on the thickness of the films. The response surface methodology enabled better observes the simultaneous effect of variables.

Ce travail a pour objet l’étude de l’un des systèmes les plus prometteurs en tant que substitut au PZT, le ternaire Bi0,5Na0,5TiO3 - BaTiO3 - Bi0,5K0,5TiO3. La première partie de la thèse s’est focalisée sur la synthèse par voie solide de ce système et a permis une estimation plus affinée de la zone de transition de phase morphotropique. Dans une seconde partie, nous nous sommes centrés sur l’élaboration de poudres réactives de BNT par voie hydrothermale. Bien que les divers protocoles mis au point ont permis l’obtention de poudres microniques et cristallisées, toutes se distinguent par l’apparition de phases thermiquement instables en quantités infimes mais néanmoins suffisantes pour entraîner l’apparition d’une macroporosité après frittage. Diverses techniques de lavage ont été développées pour éliminer ces phases métastables. Un compromis a dû être réalisé entre la qualité de l’élimination de ces phases non désirées et le maintien de la composition chimique de la phase majoritaire. Le taux de densification et les propriétés piézoélectriques obtenus sur ces céramiques sont largement comparables à la voie solide. L’étude de la cosynthèse BNT - BT par thermolyse hydrothermale de la composition binaire 0,935 BNT - 0,065 BT n’a pu aboutir et a mis en évidence la précipitation préalable et définitive du titanate de bismuth Bi12TiO20This study focuses on the study of one of the most promising systems as an alternative to PZT, the Bi0,5Na0,5TiO3 - BaTiO3 - Bi0,5K0,5TiO3 ternary system. The first part of the thesis consists on the solid state synthesis of this system and has allowed a more accurate estimation of the morphotropic phase boundary location. In a second part, we focused this study on the development of BNT powders hydrothermal synthesis. Although various protocols have developed the production of fine and single phased powders, all of them are characterized by the presence of thermally unstable phases in minor quantities but nevertheless sufficient to let appear a strong porosity after sintering. Various washing techniques have been developed to eliminate these metastable phases. A compromise between the quality of the metastable phase elimination and the preservation of the major phase chemical composition must be realized. The densification ratio and piezoelectric properties obtained for these ceramics are widely comparable to the solid route synthesized ones. The BNT - BT cosynthesis study of the 0,935 BNT - 0,065 BT binary composition put in evidence the prerequisite and definitive bismuth titanate Bi12TiO20 precipitation

Full textAbstract:
The mechanism of benzimidazole (BZ) anthelmintic resistance in Haemonchus contortus was investigated. The total binding (TB), low-affinity binding (LAB) and high-affinity (specific) binding (HAB) of ($ sp3$H) BZs (mebendazole (MBZ), oxibendazole (OBZ), albendazole (ABZ) and oxfendazole (OFZ)) in supernatants derived from BZ-susceptible (S) and BZ-resistant (R) strains were examined and compared. The TB of all ($ sp3$H) BZs was reduced for the R strain. The TB of OBZ, MBZ and ABZ was separated into LAB and HAB. However, OFZ bound with low-affinity. The binding affinity, K$ sb{ rm a},$ and maximum binding, B$ sb{ rm max},$ for the HAB of OBZ and MBZ were calculated using computer programs. Compared with the S strain, the B$ sb{ rm max}$ of the R strain was reduced but the K$ sb{ rm a}$ was not affected. LAB to parasite preparations devoid of tubulin was observed but HAB occurred to preparations containing tubulin only. The HAB per mg protein decreased from egg through larva to adult stage. It was shown by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis that the tubulin content per mg protein decreased from egg, through larva to adult worm. The ability of various BZs--OBZ, MBZ, ABZ, OFZ, fenbendazole (FBZ), albendazole sulphoxide (ABZSO), albendazole sulphone (ABZSO$ sb2),$ and thiabendazole (TBZ)--to bind tubulin was compared by displacement analysis and their IC$ sb{50}$ ( (BZ) required to inhibit 50% of the ($ sp3$H) BZ binding) and K$ sb{ rm a}$ values were determined. The IC$ sb{50}$ and K$ sb{ rm a}$ values approximately correlated with the known anthelmintic potency (recommended therapeutic doses) of the BZs except for OFZ and ABZSO. Tubulin bound BZs at 4$ sp circ$C with lower K$ sb{ rm a}$ than at 37$ sp circ$C. Western blot of tubulin separated by 2-dimensional electrophoresis showed that the $ beta$-tubulin isoform pattern of the S and R strains were dissimilar whil

Full textAbstract:
På Beckholmen ligger stockholmsregionens enda aktiva reparationsvarv med kapacitet att ta emot såväl större fartyg samt skärgårdstrafikens fartyg. För att kunna bedriva verksamheten på ett säkert och miljövänligt sätt krävs infrastrukturella investeringar i form av byggnader och anläggningar. Stockholms stad har påbörjat ett programarbete och presenterat ett förslag till detaljplan som möjliggör dessa investeringar. Då det handlar om stora investeringar och förändringar i stadsbilden är den nya detaljplanen ett känsligt projekt, särskilt om varvsverksamheten skulle hamna i ekonomiska svårigheter. I det förslag till detaljplan som presenterats hösten 2012 har varsverksamhetens funktioner lagts inom en och samma byggnadsvolym, som till en följd blir väldigt stor. Frågeställningen i ”Beckholmen bit för bit” är om en detaljplan som låter verksamheten växa mer inkrementellt fördelat på fler byggnader kan göra projektet mer flexibelt. Efter studier av varvsverksamhetens program samt volym och planstudier, blir slutsatsen att det finns fördelar med att fördela varvsfunktionerna på fler byggnadsvolymer. Särskilt om byggnaderna gestaltas på ett sätt så att kompositionen är öppen för förändring. Ett förslag på en gestaltning som uppfyller dessa egenskaper presenteras även.The only active shipyard in the Stockholm region with capacity for large ships and the archipelago fleet is situated at Beckholmen. Large investments in infrastructure and buildings are needed in order to secure the enviroment and worker safety. The city has presented a proposal for new planning enabeling these investments. As the investment are large and the site is sensitive the project has many potential risks, especially if the shipyard should encounter economic difficulties in the future. In the citys planning proposal presented in 2012 the whole program for the shipyard is contained within one single volume. The question at issue in ”Beckholmen bit by bit” thus is if planning that splits the program into separate buildings and permits incremental growth is prefarable. After program studies, volume and plan studies the conclusion is that there are many advantages with planning that encourages incremental growth of the shipyard at Beckholmen, especially if the building design is open to change from the beginning. A proposal of a planning and design fulfilling these qualities is also presented.

As redes sem fio ad hoc surgiram para estender a mobilidade e a flexibilidade no ambiente sem fio, onde um conjunto de nós, que podem agir como roteadores, formam a infra-estrutura de roteamento na rede. A maioria dos protocolos de roteamento propostos não utiliza mecanismos de segurança, pois assumem que o ambiente é composto apenas por nós confiáveis. Mas devido à mudança dinâmica de topologia e ambiente aberto, uma rede ad hoc é extremamente vulnerável à presença de nós maliciosos os quais podem degradar desempenho ou até mesmo impedir o funcionamento da rede. Para evitar ou minimizar os problemas causados pela falta de segurança, os seguintes protocolos de roteamento seguro foram propostos: Ariadne, SAODV, BFTR, SEAD e ARAN. Neste contexto, a presente dissertação tem como objetivo analisar estes protocolos de roteamento seguro utilizados em redes sem fio ad hoc e propor melhorias nos mecanismos de segurança projetados para proteger a rede contra ataques interrupção de roteamento e de consumo de recursos. Como resultado desta análise, é proposto o Ariadne-BFT (Ariadne Best-effort Fault-Tolerant), uma extensão do protocolo de roteamento seguro Ariadne baseado nos algoritmos de descoberta e seleção de rotas do protocolo BFTR. O Ariadne-BFT incrementa a segurança no roteamento em relação ao protocolo Ariadne original, com a proteção contra o ataque Blackhole.

Full textAbstract:
Research on inverted pendulum has gained momentum over the last decade on a number
of robotic laboratories over the world; due to its unstable proprieties is a good example
for control engineers to verify a control theory. To verify that the pendulum can
balance we can make some simulations using a closed-loop controller method such as
the linear quadratic regulator or the proportional–integral–derivative method.
Also the idea of robotic teleoperation is gaining ground. Controlling a robot at a
distance and doing that precisely. However, designing the tool to takes the best benefit
of the human skills while keeping the error minimal is interesting, and due to the fact
that the inverted pendulum is an unstable system it makes a compelling test case for
exploring dynamic teleoperation.
Therefore this thesis focuses on the construction of a two-wheel inverted pendulum
robot, which sensor we can use to do that, how they must be integrated in the system
and how we can use a human to control an inverted pendulum.
The inverted pendulum robot developed employs technology like sensors, actuators and controllers. This Master thesis starts by presenting an introduction to inverted pendulums and some information about related areas such as control theory. It continues by describing related work in this area. Then we describe the mathematical model of a two-wheel inverted pendulum and a simulation made in Matlab. We also focus in the construction of this type of robot and its working theory. Because this is a mobile robot we address the theme of the teleoperation and finally this thesis finishes with a general conclusion and
ideas of future work.Orientador: Ian Oakley

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaThe Bit Rate Agile Onboard Telemetry Formatting (BRAOTF) system was developed by Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing to address increasing demands on the efficiency of telemetry systems. The BRAOTF thins and reorders data streams, adjusting the bit rate of a pulse code modulation (PCM) stream using a bit-locked loop to match the desired information rate exactly. The BRAOTF accomplishes the adjustment in hardware, synthesizing a clock whose operating frequency is derived from the actual timing of the input format. Its firmware manages initialization and error management. Testing has confirmed that the BRAOTF implementation meets its design goals.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, bit-by-bit power allocation in order to minimize mean-squared error (MSE) distortion of a basic communication system is studied. This communication system consists of a quantizer. There may or may not be a channel encoder and a Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulator. In the quantizer, natural binary mapping is made. First, the case where there is no channel coding is considered. In the uncoded case, hard decision decoding is done at the receiver. It is seen that errors that occur in the more significant information bits contribute more to the distortion than less significant bits. For the uncoded case, the optimum power profile for each bit is determined analytically and through computer-based optimization methods like differential evolution. For low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the less significant bits are allocated negligible power compared to the more significant bits. For high SNRs, it is seen that the optimum bit-by-bit power allocation gives constant MSE gain in dB over the uniform power allocation. Second, the coded case is considered. Linear block codes like (3,2), (4,3) and (5,4) single parity check codes and (7,4) Hamming codes are used and soft-decision decoding is done at the receiver. Approximate expressions for the MSE are considered in order to find a near-optimum power profile for the coded case. The optimization is done through a computer-based optimization method (differential evolution). For a simple code like (7,4) Hamming code simulations show
that up to 3 dB MSE gain can be obtained by changing the power allocation on the
information and parity bits. A systematic method to find the power profile for linear block codes is also introduced given the knowledge of input-output weight enumerating function of the code. The information bits have the same power, and parity bits
have the same power, and the two power levels can be different.

Full textAbstract:
A 9-bit 50MS/s SAR ADC with a simulated power consumption of 24.5 µW was designed for this thesis. Specifications were made for application with in-probe electronic as part of an ultrasound system. A novel switching-scheme - employing variable bit length encoding – was introduced in order to simplify successive approximation. Pre-layout results reported a FoM of just 1.37 fJ/conversion step, which is favorable to all published designs to date. Recent technology advancements has seen the ultrasound field expanding into handheld markets [33]. More power efficient solutions, in addition to existing enhanced resolution 3-D technology both place strict requirements for analog/mixed-signal design. Composite electronics within the probe casing - allowing close-to-source signal processing - is believed to be the future of ultrasound devices. ADC designs suitable for in-probe technology require ultra low power and noise characteristics towards supporting multiple channels on a single SoC. Excellent performance of recent SAR ADCs make them a viable alternative for in-probe technology [2,7,12,4]. Work in this thesis show the flexibility of the SAR algorithm. The relatively simple implementation/decoding of the VBL approach, complimented by the accuracy dependency of the level detection range makes the ADC reconfigurable by digital signal processing. Recent published design has reported relatively low power consumption for the comparator [15,7]. A motivation for the thesis was to see whether multiple operated comparators could reduce power in remaining circuitry. Implementation of a level-detector - supporting the VBL switching-scheme - has lead to improvements in: Power efficiency, speed and metastability-induced errors. The device consists of two comparators operated in parallel, with a relative DC-offset generated by difference in the capacitive load. Decision points of the comparators shift with DC-offset, and are atoned for a range desired by the modified SAR algorithm. An extensive literary search of recent methodologies and results was conducted, and a summery presenting state-of-the-art designs is included with the work. An approach using no external references where chosen as a basis for the DAC design. Emphasize was made on constant common-mode voltage suitably for comparator design eliminating pre-amplifiers or buffers. Digital logic consisting of serial connected bitslices using a novel differential approach is proposed. Level detector outputs are connected to the digital logic switching only a portion of transistors in the bitslice during conversion. Trade-off between switching activity and circuit area proves effective, with only 12.5% of overall power consumed in the digital part. Power simulations reported the level-detector as the dominant source of consumption, thereby being subject to further optimization with regards to power. Nonetheless a proof-of-concept 8-bit ADC implementation - operated with the novel switching-scheme - produced 8.96 ENOB while dissipating less power.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 29-November 02, 1990 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaAlthough prefiltering prevents the aliasing phenomenon with discrete signal processing, degradation in bit error performance results even when the prefilter implementation is ideal. Degradation occurs when decisions are based on statistics derived from correlated samples, processed by a sample mean estimator. i.e., a discrete linear filter. However, an orthonormal transformation can be employed to eliminate prefiltered sample statistical dependencies, thus permitting the sample mean estimator to provide near optimum performance. This paper will present mathematical justification for elements which adversely affect the bit synchronizer’s decision process and suggest an orthonormal transform alternative. The suggested transform can be implemented in most digital bit synchronizer designs with the addition of a Read Only Memory (ROM).

Ce travail vise la modélisation au niveau système, en langage SystemC-AMS, et la simulation d'un émetteur-récepteur au standard Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). L'objectif est d'analyser la relation entre les performances, en termes de BER et la consommation d'énergie du transceiver. Le temps de simulation d’un tel système, à partir de cas d’étude (use case) réaliste, est un facteur clé pour le développement d’une telle plateforme. De plus, afin d’obtenir des résultats de simulation le plus précis possible, les modèles « haut niveau » doivent être raffinés à partir de modèles plus bas niveau où de mesure. L'approche dite Meet-in-the-Middle, associée à la méthode de modélisation équivalente en Bande Base (BBE, BaseBand Equivalent), a été choisie pour atteindre les deux conditions requises, à savoir temps de simulation « faible » et précision des résultats. Une simulation globale d'un système de BLE est obtenue en intégrant le modèle de l'émetteur-récepteur dans une plateforme existante développée en SystemC-TLM. La simulation est basée sur un système de communication de deux dispositifs BLE, en utilisant différents scénarios (différents cas d'utilisation de BLE). Dans un premier temps nous avons modélisé et validé chaque bloc d’un transceiver BT. Devant le temps de simulation prohibitif, les blocs RF sont réécrits en utilisant la méthodologie BB, puis raffinés afin de prendre en compte les non-linéarités qui vont impacter le couple consommation, BER. Chaque circuit (chaque modèle) est vérifié séparément, puis une première simulation système (point à point entre un émetteur et un récepteur) est effectuéeThis work aims at system-level modelling a defined transceiver for Bluetooth Low energy (BLE) system using SystemC-AMS. The goal is to analyze the relationship between the transceiver performance and the accurate energy consumption. This requires the transceiver model contains system-level simulation speed and the low-level design block power consumption and other RF specifications. The Meet-in-the-Middle approach and the Baseband Equivalent method are chosen to achieve the two requirements above. A global simulation of a complete BLE system is achieved by integrating the transceiver model into a SystemC-TLM described BLE system model which contains the higher-than-PHY levels. The simulation is based on a two BLE devices communication system and is run with different BLE use cases. The transceiver Bit-Error-Rate and the energy estimation are obtained at the end of the simulation. First, we modelled and validated each block of a BT transceiver. In front of the prohibitive simulation time, the RF blocks are rewritten by using the BBE methodology, and then refined in order to take into account the non-linearities, which are going to impact the couple consumption, BER. Each circuit (each model) is separately verified, and then a first BLE system simulation (point-to-point between a transmitter and a receiver) has been executed. Finally, the BER is finally estimated. This platform fulfills our expectations, the simulation time is suitable and the results have been validated with the circuit measurement offered by Riviera Waves Company. Finally, two versions of the same transceiver architecture are modelled, simulated and compared

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Einflüsse der landwirtschaftlichen Nutzung auf die Struktur und Biomasse von Nematoden entlang eines Tiefengradientens und innerhalb zweier Vegetationsperioden an einem Ackerstandort untersucht. Die Freilandanalyse der Nematodengemeinschaft wies auf ein mit Nährstoffen angereichertes und gestörtes Ökosystem, mit einer geringen Diversität, hin. Entlang des Tiefengradienten bildeten die Nematoden Metacommunities, welche Umweltgegebenheiten wie Nahrungsquellen und abiotischen Faktoren widerspiegeln. Signifikant höhere Biomassen wurden unter Weizen im Vergleich zu Mais als Ackerfrucht beobachtet. Die Streuapplikation induzierte einen „bottom-up“ Effekt mit größeren Biomassen in den niedrigen als in den höheren trophischen Stufen. Die Nematoden Biomassen sowie die faunistischen Indizes (Channel Index, Enrichment Index) zeigten, dass der Kohlenstofffluss im Bakterienkanal des Bodens dominierte. Allerdings deckte das 13C Pulse-Labelling Experiment im Feld auf, dass der Kohlenstofffluss durch die Pilzgemeinschaft sowie die pilzfressenden Nematoden wesentlich höhere Umsatzraten aufweist. In einem 14C-Laborexperiment wurde ein vollständiges Budget des Flusses von wurzelbürtigem Kohlenstoff in das Nahrungsnetz der Nematoden bestimmt. Hierbei wiesen die pflanzenparasitären Nematoden die höchsten 14C-Gehalte innerhalb weniger Tage auf, da sie direkt an den Wurzeln fressen und über die Herbivorenkette den Nährstoffzyklus im Boden eröffnen.The present research considered the effects of agricultural management practice on the nematode community structure and biomass in three different depths and two successive vegetation periods at an arable field site. The resource quality was manipulated by crop plant and organic amendment, to investigate the major soil carbon pathways based on roots, bacteria and fungi. The nematode community analysis pointed to a highly enriched and disturbed ecosystem with low biodiversity. Along the depth gradient the nematodes formed distinct metacommunities, reflecting resource availability and abiotic environmental factors. Wheat supported significantly greater nematode biomass than maize. The litter amendment induced bottom-up effects, with greater biomass allocation at lower than at higher trophic levels. The biomass of nematode families as well as faunal indices (Channel Index, Enrichment Index) revealed a predominance of the bacterial carbon channel in the arable soil. A 13C pulse-labelling experiment investigating the flux of root- derived C into the soil food web revealed high turnover rates in the fungal carbon pathway. This was evident for soil fungi as well as for fungal-feeding nematodes and contradicts general assumptions of a more active bacterial pathway in arable soils. A laboratory experiment with 14C isotope was used to compile a complete budget for the root-derived carbon in the nematode food web. Here plant-feeding nematodes, which feed on living plant roots, thereby opening the root C cycling into the food web, showed highest amounts of 14C allocation within a few days.

Full textAbstract:
Tutti coloro che lavorano su appuntamento hanno una clientela da gestire. Per farlo, possono avvalersi di due opzioni: o utilizzano una buona parte del loro tempo per rispondere direttamente alle chiamate e ai messaggi dei clienti, oppure assumono una persona che si faccia carico personalmente dell’agenda del negozio, piuttosto che dello studio, a seconda dei casi.
Gli aspetti negativi di queste due scelte non mancano. Nel primo caso, il diretto interessato può trovarsi interrotto da una chiamata nel pieno di un appuntamento. Il cliente lì presente deve attendere pazientemente che la conversazione finisca, ma la pazienza, giustamente, inizia a vacillare nel momento in cui le chiamate diventano numerose. Oltretutto la situazione può creare disagio al professionista in prima persona. In alcuni casi, inoltre, il cliente a casa è costretto ad aspettare tempi troppo lunghi prima di ricevere una risposta. Nel secondo caso, si ha un lavoro più fluido e senza interruzioni. Questo è ovviamente un fattore positivo, tuttavia l’assunzione di un addetto a rispondere al telefono, piuttosto che a messaggi o mail, ha un costo non indifferente.
Analizzando i vari vantaggi e svantaggi dei metodi di prenotazione esistenti, è stata progettata una nuova soluzione che, tramite l'utilizzo dei bot e delle app di messaggistica, permette di prendere gli appuntamenti rimanendo il più fedeli possibile ai metodi classici, come i messaggi, ma con tutti i vantaggi dei metodi più tecnologici.

Full textAbstract:
Online social networks (OSNs) have seen a remarkable rise in the presence of automated social agents, or social bots. Social bots are the new computing viral, that are surreptitious and clever. What facilitates the creation of social agents is the massive human user-base and business-supportive operating model of social networks. These automated agents are injected by agencies, brands, individuals, and corporations to serve their work and purpose; utilising them for news and emergency communication, marketing, social activism, political campaigning, and even spam and spreading malicious content. Their influence was recently substantiated by coordinated social hacking and computational political propaganda. The thesis of my dissertation argues that automated agents exercise a profound impact on OSNs that transforms into an array of influence on our society and systems. However, latent or veiled, these agents can be successfully detected through measurement, feature extraction and finely tuned supervised learning models. The various types of automated agents can be further unravelled through unsupervised machine learning and natural language processing, to formally inform the populace of their existence and impact.

Full textAbstract:
Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with column weight-4 are widely used in many commu-nication and storage systems. However, traditional hard decision decoding algorithms such as the bit-flipping (BF) algorithm suffer from error floor due to trapping sets in LDPC codes. In this paper, to lower error floor of the BF algorithm over the Binary Symmetric Channel (BSC), we design a set of decoding rules incorporated within the BF algorithm for column weight-4 LDPC codes. Given a column weight-4 LDPC code, the dominate error patterns of the BF algorithm are first specified, and according to the designed rules, additional bits at both variable nodes (VN) and check nodes (CN) provide more information for the BF algorithm to identify the dominate error patterns, so that the BF algorithm could deliberately flip some bits to break them. Simulation results show that the modified BF algorithm eliminates all 4-error patterns and lowers the Bit Error Rate (BER) for at least two orders of magnitude with a trivial increment of complexity.

The data transmission from the satellite is at 5.2 Mega Bits/sec in S-Band and 10.4 Mega Bits/sec in X-Band. The payload data is formatted into custom made 8328 words format. A programmable unique versatile frame sync and Decommutation unit has been developed to test the data from the data handling system during its various phases of development. The system works upto 50 Mega Bits/sec and can handle frame sync code length upto 128 bits and a frame length of 2 Exp 20 bits. Provision has been made for programming the allowable bit errors as well as bit slippages, using a front panel setting. This paper describes the design and implementation of such a high bit rate frame synchroniser developed specially for IRS Spacecraft application. It will also highlight the performance of the system.

At the interface of physics, mathematics, and computer science, Uncertainty Quanti cation (UQ) aims at developing a more rigorous framework and more reliable methods to characterize the impact of uncertainties on the prediction of Quantities Of Interest (QOI). Despite signi cant improvements done in the last years in UQ methods for Fluid Mechanics, there is nonetheless a long way to go before there can be talk of an accurate prediction when considering all the numerous sources of uncertainties of the physical problem (boundary conditions, physical models, geometric tolerances, etc), in particular for shock-dominated problems. This manuscript illustrates my main contributions for improving the reliability of the numerical simulation in Fluid Mechanics: i) the development of e cient and exible schemes for solving at low-cost stochastic partial di erential equations for compressible ows, ii) various works concerning variancebased and high-order analysis, iii) the design of some low-cost techniques for the optimization under uncertainty. The application of interest is the robust design of turbines for Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC). Some contributions to the numerical ow prediction of the thermodynamically complex gases involved in ORC will be presented. This manuscript is divided in two parts. In the rst part, some intrusive algorithms are introduced that feature an innovative formulation allowing the treatment of discontinuities propagating in the coupled physical/stochastic space for shock-dominated compressible ows. Then, variance and higher-order based decompositions are described, that could alleviate problems with large number of uncertainties by performing a dimension reduction with an improved control. Some ANOVAbased analyses are also applied to several ows displaying various types of modeling uncertainties, be it cavitation, thermodynamic or turbulence modeling. Two algorithms for handling stochastic inverse problems are then introduced for improving input uncertainty characterization by directly using experimental data. Finally, robust-optimization algorithms are introduced, that are e cient when dealing with a large number of uncertainties, relying on di erent formulations, i.e. with decoupled/ coupled approaches between the stochastic and the optimization solvers. The second part is devoted to the study of dense gas ow in ORC-cycles, which represent a highly demanding eld of application as far as ow simulation reliability is concerned. The numerical ingredients necessary for this kind of simulation are described. Then, some recent results are illustrated : i) high- delity turbine computations; ii) a feasibility study concerning the appearance and the occurrence of a Rarefaction Shock Wave, using experimental data and di erent operating conditions (in monophasic and two-phase ows); iii) a stochastic study concerning the thermodynamic model uncertainties. This set of research works has produced several papers in international journals and peer-reviewed conferences.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to gain a deeper understanding in relation to the construction of a ‘Net Generation’. With regards to the idea of an information society, technologies and young people are given certain positions, which are not in any sense natural but are socially constructed. This thesis explores these socially given meanings and shows what types of meanings are prioritized and legitimized. The exploration is conducted by examining, both externally and internally, given meanings of a generation identity. The external (nominal identification) in this study is understood as the construction of an abstract user and is studied by means of academic texts concerning the ‘Net Generation’. The internal (virtual identification) involves young people’s construction of their generation identity and is studied by means of collage. The collages are used to understand how the young participants position themselves in contemporary society and how they, as concrete users, articulate their relationship with information technologies. The findings show that the ‘type of behavior’ which is articulated in the signifying practice of the construction of the abstract user, ‘Net Generation’, reduces users and technology to a marketing / economical discourse. In addition the idea of the abstract user implies that all users have the same possibilities to achieve ‘success’ in the information society, by being active ‘prosumers’. The concrete users articulate that they feel stressed and pressured in relation to all the choices that they are expected to make. In this sense, the participants do not articulate the (economical) interests as assumed for the ‘Net Generation’, but, rather articulate interests to play, to have a hobby and be social when using information technologies. What this thesis thus proposes, is to critically explore the ‘taken for granted’ notions of a technological order in society as pertaining to young people. Only if we understand how socially given meaning is constructed can we break loose from the temporarily prioritized values to which the position of technology and users are fixed.

The goal of my project has been to programme a Bit-torrent application using Erlang language. A Bit-Torrent application permits the user to download files from the system and share files at the same time. The reason Erlang was chosen is because this programming language has suitable features for concurrency and distributed system.
The most important aspect I have considered in my project has been to manage a proper behaviour of the system, more than the simply fact of transferring stuff. This way, the program will be able to response to changes immediately. The changes could be: a user uploads a new file to share with other peers, a file is removed, new chunks of a file appear… and others like that.
My Bit-Torrent system contains five modules: Bittorrent, Tracker, Statistic, Server and User module, and all of them will be explained going into details in this document.

För en så rättvis och likgiltig granskning som möjligt av analysmaterialet kommerannonserna från likartade avsändare och medier.Resultatet av undersökning visar att ett antal likheter finns i bildanvändningen, i takt medatt de vill bidra till en positiv attityd gentemot råvarorna i fråga. I förhållande till demresonerar jag kring huruvida mitt designprojekt hade gynnats av att genomgå en liknandeanalys i designprocessens slutskede.The past year, food wastage caused due to fruits and vegetables with blemishes have been highlighted. The essay explores what designers can have in mind at preparation of sales messages, in which fruits and vegetables with abnormal forms are in focus. How will it communicate that there is a serious message and how to get consumers to be addressed by the content? What theoretical approaches can designers relate to while creating standard deviant ads, to inspire those who are potential consumers? The goal of the survey is that, based on rhetorical and semiotic theories and practices, is to find out if there are any similarities in the design of advertisements whose intention is to sell these commodities. To make the analysis as fair and indifferent as possible the material are from similar senders and medias.The result of the survey shows that there are a number of similarities in image usage, alongside that they want to contribute to a positive attitude towards the raw materials in question. In relation to the similarities, the study discusses whether my design project had benefited from undergoing a similar analysis during the final stage of the design process.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1989 / Town & Country Hotel & Convention Center, San Diego, CaliforniaASIC developments have made it possible to include the essential signal processing functions for data detection, clock recovery, and NCO in a single custom-designed chip. Using this chip and PLDs enabled the implementation of a fully-featured bit synchronizer on a single VME board in a rack-mountable 1.75" high, 19" wide chassis. This represents a space savings of 2/3 over existing units. The data rates supported are 250 bps to 5Mbps (2.5 Mbps biphase).
