As the size of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) field effect transistor (FET) approaches its fundamental physical limit, two-dimensional (2D) layered structures, such as transitional metal dichalcogenides ...

A novel solid-state microwave annealing technique is developed in this work for post-implantation annealing of SiC and GaN, and for the controlled growth of SiC nanowires. This technique is capable of heating SiC samples ...

Ultrasonic inspection as a non-destructive technique is used to inspect various materials for subsurface defects caused by air, cracks, material variation etc. Sometimes particles are added to clean materials to improve ...

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are becoming a commoditized service operated by profit-motivated adversaries. While having control over a large number of compromised hosts was traditionally required for an ...

In this work, we address the problem of understanding what may have happened in a

Transfer learning has significantly revolutionized modern machine learning systems by instilling the ability to use the knowledge gained from solving one problem for another. It has also helped to adapt and build models ...

Cloud is a disruptive wave in information technology (IT), much like the mainframe, PC, and internet waves preceding it. As with the past disruptive waves, Cloud promises great potential and significant risks for IT leaders ...

Adaptation, “the ability to bring about timely and effective adjustment or change in response to the surrounding environment” (Defense Science Board, 2010), is critical to maintaining system performance in dynamic environments. ...

Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) structures have been in use around the world for many years and are constructed with a variety of reinforcement types and spacing. In most applications, the common approach is to construct ...

A computer-aided solution for the task performed by a Maritime Lawyer is presented in this thesis. It facilitates the process of searching a set of rules from across different Maritime Laws that are applicable in a certain ...
