Climatic trends in spatial and temporal variability of maximum temperature (Tmax ), minimum temperature (Tmin ), mean temperature (Tmean ) and precipitation were evaluated for 249 ground-based stations in North Carolina for 1950-2009. The Mann-Kendall (MK), the Theil-Sen Approac…

Research is being conducted for a high-performance building block for high frequency and high temperature applications that combine lower costs with improved performance and manufacturability. Researchers have focused their attention on new semiconductor materials for use in dev…
Semiconductor field effect sensors have been shown to enable the possibility of realizing cost effective, highly dense label-free sensors for the detection of chemical and biological species. Such sensors can be readily integrated with existing platforms for micro total analysis…
A wide variety of products are now made of metal alloys. The superior properties of these alloys permit products to be used in very demanding environments where other materials would fail. The major quality issues for these alloys are melt-related defects, such as segregation de…
This thesis focuses on energy considerations in the MOSFET when we supply a bias to it. We also notice that the length of the MOSFET gets smaller and smaller then for a small release or exchange of energy that may take place in a MOS transistor which can cause a change in the te…
Planar transistors have been the important building block of integrated circuits for decades, during which the size of transistors has steadily decreased. We will evaluate energy released due to recombination and also evaluate energy stored in the electric field for the step jun…
Micro heat pipe is a small-scale passive heat transfer device of very high thermal conductance that uses phase change and circulation of its working fluid to transfer thermal energy. Different from conventional heat pipe, a micro heat pipe does not contain any wick structure. In…
Scientists face an unprecedented challenge of increasing food production by 100% within the next fifty years to meet demand while responding to the undetermined effect and impact of climate change. To respond to these challenges, scientists are turning to models to assist them i…
In the recent past, there are indications of changes in the surface air temperature, extreme weather events, snow and Indian summer monsoon. This thesis analyses the above weather phenomena based on observed data and climate model simulations for the present as well as the near …
Decreasing power consumption in small devices such as handhelds, cell phones and high-performance processors is now one of the most critical design concerns. On-chip cache memories dominate the chip area in microprocessors and thus arises the need for power efficient cache memor…
An improved understanding of the thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils under elevated temperatures and high suction magnitudes is needed to interpret the behavior of thermally-active geotechnical systems where very dry conditions may be encountered. Examples of r…

0
Type: Book
This book provides an overall perspective on the current progress being made in the area of abiotic stresses and their management for sustainable agriculture. It contains 15 chapters divided into three sections: (i) temperature, water and salinity stress; (ii) heavy metals and o…
This book provides a comprehensive suite of animations, simulations, and interactivities that help readers comprehend important Earth processes. With an enhanced focus on the interconnections between humans and their environment, this text includes increased coverage of populati…
This book provides a sound foundation for the improvement of the transportation sector responsible for the movement of food. While food safety agencies have been focused on producer, processor, retail, and restaurant food safety, the industry that moves the food has been largel…
"The book begins with current knowledge and understanding of thermal comfort and its application to providing thermal conditions for indoor and outdoor environments. It integrates and presents new ideas to provide a comprehensive model of thermal comfort so that we can move on f…
