Accelerated Verification of Integrated Circuits Against the Effects of Process, Voltage and Temperature Variations
DownloadSpring 2016
As Moore's Law continues to drive the advancement of new complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology generations toward feature sizes in the sub 10 nm regime, the role of process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations have become increasingly important when designing integrated...

An experimental investigation of the impact of fat taxes: Price effects, food stigma, and information effects on economic instruments to improve dietary health
DownloadFall 2009
This thesis investigates how a tax and warning label on less healthy snack food products may affect consumer behaviour when the imposition of the tax is a source of consumer information. A survey that included choice experiments was implemented in supermarkets. Participants were asked to choose...

An integrated framework to handle design, complexity, and controls challenges in industrial systems
DownloadSpring 2019
During the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in automation. Mechanical processes and operations are continuously being automated. Mechanical assemblies are no longer only mechanical, but also contain a large portion of electrical wires, connections, and controls signals....

An open-source two-phase non-isothermal mathematical model of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell
DownloadSpring 2014
A comprehensive open-source two-phase non-isothermal MEA model including the microporous layer and accounting for multi-step reaction kinetics for the ORR and HOR is developed for the first time. The model is integrated into openFCST, an open-source FEM based fuel cell simulation framework. All...
