This thesis develops analytic models for the prediction and optimization of radial-flux permanent magnet motor torque and efficiency. It also facilitates the design optimization of electromagnetically-powered rotorcraft ...

The human cardiovascular system routinely encounters conditions that cause it to adapt. For example, when an astronaut enters microgravity, his/her cardiovascular system adapts rapidly to the weightless environment with ...

Large, pulsed electric fields are becoming an increasingly important tool in drug delivery, gene delivery, and apoptosis induction. Nonetheless, much remains unknown about the fundamental mechanisms by which large electric ...

The ever-present and increasing threat of abuse requires a systematic approach to information assurance to protect the security of systems and data. The Lincoln Adaptable Real-time Information Assurance Testbed (LARIAT) ...

Among the challenging unsolved technical problems that have plagued the minds of scientist and engineers throughout the 20th and 21st century is the development of a quantifiable model to accurately estimate or explain ...

Progression of technology nodes in integrated circuit design is only possible if there are sustainable, cost-efficient processes by which these designs can be implemented. As future technologies are increasing device ...

The need for better planarity becomes more critical in semiconductor manufacturing as dimensions and tolerance margins keep shrinking. The purpose of this thesis is to understand and model new technologies for the planarization ...
