Winning Sets and the Banach-Mazur-McMullen Game (open access)

Winning Sets and the Banach-Mazur-McMullen Game

For decades, mathematical games have been used to explore various properties of particular sets. The Banach-Mazur game is the prototypical intersection game and its modifications by e.g., W. Schmidt and C. McMullen are used in number theory and many other areas of mathematics. We give a brief survey of a few of these modifications and their properties followed by our own modification. One of our main results is proving that this modification is equivalent to an important set theoretic game, called the perfect set game, developed by M. Davis.

Wireless Power Transfer and Power Management Unit Integrated with Low-Power IR-UWB Transmitter for Neuromodulation and Self-Powered Sensor Applications (open access)

Wireless Power Transfer and Power Management Unit Integrated with Low-Power IR-UWB Transmitter for Neuromodulation and Self-Powered Sensor Applications

This dissertation is particularly focused on a novel approach of a wirelessly powered neuromodulation system for chronic patients. The inductively coupled transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) coils are designed through optimization to achieve maximum efficiency. A power management unit (PMU) consisting of a voltage rectifier, voltage regulator along with a stimulation circuitry is also designed to provide pulse stimulation to genetically modified neurons. For continuous health monitoring purposes, the response from the brain due to stimulation needs to be recorded and transmitted wirelessly outside the brain for analysis. A low-power high-data duty-cycled impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmitter is designed and implemented using the standard CMOS process. Another focus of this dissertation is the design of a reverse electrowetting-on-dielectric (REWOD) based energy harvesting circuit for wearable sensor applications which is capable of generating a very low-frequency signal from motion activity such a walking, running, jogging, etc. A commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) based and on-chip based energy harvesting circuit is designed for very low-frequency signals. The experimental results show promising progress towards the advancement in the wirelessly powered neuromodulation system and building the self-powered wearable sensor.

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) System Design for Freely-Moving Animals for Optogenetic Neuromulation Applications (open access)

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) System Design for Freely-Moving Animals for Optogenetic Neuromulation Applications

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is currently the most efficient way for transmission of power from one port to another, that is popularly used in various applications.This technique can change the previous energy utilization methods in various applications such as electronic devices, implanted medical devices, electrical vehicles and so forth.It mainly helps overcome the limitations of short battery life, limited storage, heavy weight, and high cost of batteries.This paper is based on the design of a transmitter and a receiver to achieve wireless power transfer for applications like optogenetic stimulation in rodents. With inductive coupling, a very high efficiency can be achieved between the transmitting and receiving coils of an antenna at small distances. When the transmitter and receiver are strongly coupled and are working at their resonant frequencies, the range of efficient WPT can be extended. In this work, the simulations are performed in HFSS at a resonating frequency of 13.56 MHz.A 4-port transmitter and a single-port planar receiver model are developed in HFSS, and the simulations are performed to graph the S parameters with a separation distance of 4cm. A Wilkinson power divider is designed using ADS to split the power from the four ports of the transmitter. The …

Wireless Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor for PM2.5 Detection

Currently, there is no equipment to measure the real-time fit of EHMR or N-95masks which are used in harsh environments. Improper fit of these EHMRs or N-95 masks exposes the personnel to hazardous environments. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors have been around for few decades and are being used in various applications. In this work, real-time PM2.5 detection using passive wireless SAW sensors is presented. The design of meander antenna at 433MHz for wireless interrogation of SAW sensor using HFSS and ADS is also presented in this thesis. This works also includes the design of YZ-lithium niobate SAW sensor including COMSOL simulation.

Wisdom and Veterans: Enhance the Perspective, Experience, and Resilience of the Workforce

Wisdom is defined as “a uniquely human quality demonstrated through an ability to apply self-insight, experience, and sound judgment in conjunction with applicable data, information, and knowledge to create a course of action leading to beneficial and productive decisions for both individuals and society” (Allen et al., 2020, p. 159). Using this definition as a foundation, this research explores how veterans use wisdom to enhance the workforce through perspective, experience, and resilience.

Wisdom as it Exists in a Professional’s Life (open access)

Wisdom as it Exists in a Professional’s Life

Recent years have seen the development of quite a few measures of wisdom (e.g. Ardelt (2003); GlĂĽck (2017); Staudinger and Pasupathi (2003); Sternberg (1998); Webster (2003)). With a focus on information professionals working in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) sector, this study is unique in the way it translated the quantitative measures used in previous study into a qualitative instrument that can allow wisdom aspects to be explored through interviews. Thus the purpose of this research was to investigate the key characteristics of wisdom for professionals working in the GLAM sector.

My work explores the interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships we have with our physical, mental, and emotional bodies. Using techniques ranging from traditional carpentry to digital fabrication, the works are created to represent individual traumatic experiences as well as the universality of loss. My pieces are meant to elicit an empathic response from the audience. There are common traumas and pains that bring humans together as a form of bonding.

Women in Wrestling Arenas: How Globalization, Socially Produced Spaces, and Commodification Impact their Portrayal and Empowerment Post Women's Revolution

The Women's Revolution in 2015 has led to a drastic shift in the ways women are portrayed in professional wrestling. The Women's Revolution came as a result of the social unrest over the lack of time women were receiving on the televised shows. Where women's storylines had centered on their sexuality, they are now presented as equal to their male counterparts after the Women's Revolution. Through an exploration of concepts in globalization, commodification, and socially produced spaces, this research seeks to understand and contextualize the Women's Revolution, the degree to which the portrayed women's equality has been achieved, and the resulting impacts of the female superstars overall. I argue that that this "equality" has been achieved through inscribing the traditionally masculine qualities of wrestling to women, has resulted in an unequal distribution of opportunities to particular female superstars rather than equality for all women on the shows, and that phallocentric objectification of the female superstars still occurs in certain aspects of professional wrestling.
