A data warehouse usually contains large amounts of information representing an integration of base data from one or more external data sources over a long period of time to provide fast-query response time. It stores materialized views which provide aggregation (SUM, MIX, MIN, C…
In this dissertation, a novel velocity-matched distributed balanced photodetector with a 50Ω coplanar waveguide output transmission line has been designed and experimentally demonstrated in the InP/InGaAs material system. The device can increase the optical saturation power with…
The general problem under consideration in this thesis is how to construct an n-dimensional probability distribution for use in statistical modeling. The objectives of our research are to: (1) construct copula based bivariate distributions with exponential and Pareto marginals; …
The research is primarily devoted to the development of a reliable and accurate indirect source of position information and to the use of the information for high-performance controllers for switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives. The sliding mode concept has been used in this r…
University/school partnerships provide a fairly new alternative to traditional forms of teacher education. This form of collaboration between two entities of education gained momentum in the 1980s and is still accelerating in the 1990s on both sides of the Atlantic. The institut…
Stimulus-secretion coupling in the pancreatic beta cell is mediated by different signalling molecules and involves a variety of ionic events including Ca2+-influx through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (I…
Hartree-Fock calculations have been performed for linear, three-dimensional and ring-shaped ionized carbon clusters. Magic numbers have been identified and compared with other theoretical and experimental numbers. Stabilities of fairly large carbon clusters have been discussed f…
A complete characterization of the physicochemical characteristics of famotidine is lacking in the literature. Although famotidine is commercially available in tablet, powder for suspension and intravenous injection forms, no oral solution dosage form is yet available. Also, the…
