Studies Of Electron-Beam Penetration And Free-Carrier Generation In Diamond Films, R. P. Joshi, K. H. Schoenbach, C. Molina, W. W. Hofer Jan 1993

Studies Of Electron-Beam Penetration And Free-Carrier Generation In Diamond Films, R. P. Joshi, K. H. Schoenbach, C. Molina, W. W. Hofer

Bioelectrics Publications

Experimental observations of the energy‐dependent electron‐beam penetration in type II‐A natural diamond are reported. The experimental data are compared with results obtained from numerical Monte Carlo simulations, and the results are in very good agreement. The results also reveal that a threshold energy of about 125 keV is necessary for complete penetration for a 35 μm sample. It is found that over the 30–180 keV range, the energy dependence of the penetration depth and total path length exhibits a power‐law relation. Monte Carlo simulations have also been performed to investigate the excess carrier‐generation profiles within diamond for a set of …

Decision-Support Tools For Transferring Am/Fm/Gis To Small Communities, Steven W. Mccrary, Colin Othniel Benjamin, Peter J. Schmidt

Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper examines several decision-support tools for transferring AM/FM/GIS technology to small communities. The term Computer-Assisted Spatial Information Systems (CASIS) provides a basis for a systematic categorization and definition of AM/FM/GIS systems that will serve to enhance small communities' understanding of these technologies for future decisions. The acronym CASIS includes such areas as database-management systems, automated mapping/facilities management/geographic information systems (AM/FM/GIS), and computer-aided drafting (CAD). Further, this paper reports the highlights of a survey that assesses the theory-practice gap in AM/FM/GIS usage among very small local government agencies. The survey uncovered an existing theory-practice gap: A, slow rate of system …

Temporal Development Of Electric Field Structures In Photoconductive Gaas Switches, K. H. Schoenbach, J. S. Kenney, F.E. Peterkin, R. J. Allen Jan 1993

Temporal Development Of Electric Field Structures In Photoconductive Gaas Switches, K. H. Schoenbach, J. S. Kenney, F.E. Peterkin, R. J. Allen

Bioelectrics Publications

The temporal development of the electric field distribution in semi‐insulating GaAs photoconductive switches operated in the linear and lock‐on mode has been studied. The field structure was obtained by recording a change in the absorption pattern of the switch due to the Franz–Keldysh effect at a wavelength near the band edge of GaAs. In the linear mode, a high field layer develops at the cathode contact after laser activation. With increasing applied voltage, domainlike structures become visible in the anode region and the switch transits into the lock‐on state, a permanent filamentary electrical discharge. Calibration measurements show the field intensity …

Interposed Abdominal Compression Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Are We Missing The Mark In Clinical Trials?, Charles F. Babbs Jan 1993

Interposed Abdominal Compression Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Are We Missing The Mark In Clinical Trials?, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Straightforward considerations of abdominal anatomy in human beings set tight constraints on the theoretically optimal technique for abdominal compressions during interposed abdominal compression (IAC)-CPR. The location and extent of the abdominal aorta lead naturally to the recommendation that IAC be applied at a level corresponding to the lower two thirds of the sterno-umbilical line. The force vector required to achieve contact compression of the abdominal aorta is inclined in the transverse plane at an angle of 11 degrees from the vertical toward the left. Such slightly angled compression subjects the abdominal aorta to maximally flattening; while the inferior vena cava …

Interposed Abdominal Compression-Cpr: A Case Study In Cardiac Arrest Research, Charles F. Babbs Jan 1993

Interposed Abdominal Compression-Cpr: A Case Study In Cardiac Arrest Research, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

When the abdomen is compressed manually in counterpoint to the rhythm of chest compression, in the performance of interposed abdominal compression-CPR, artificial circulation is approximately doubled in animal experiments and in electronic models of the circulatory system. These studies suggest that external manual compression of the abdominal aorta acts like an intra-aortic balloon pump to increase aortic pressure, whereas external manual compression of the abdominal veins acts to prime the right heart and pulmonary vessels before the next chest compression. As a result, perfusion pressures and flows are increased. Several clinical studies of this technique have shown promising results, including …

Development Of A Rapidly Computable Descriptor Of Prostate Tissue Temperature During Transurethral Conductive Heat Therapy For Benign Prostate Hyperplasia, U H. Patel, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in older men in which the mass of tissue in the prostate gland gradually increases over the course of many years, ultimately leading to urinary outflow obstruction. Current treatment of this condition is to surgically remove the obstructing tissue. One novel alternative therapy being studied is transurethral thermocoagulation of excessive prostatic mass. In this approach, a heat emitting catheter is placed in the prostatic urethra, and the intraprostatic segment of the catheter is heated to temperatures above 60 oC for one hour. Two dimensional cylindrical coordinate computer simulations of this treatment modality were …

Minority-Carrier Mobility Enhancement In P+ Ingaas Lattice Matched To Inp, E. S. Harmon, Michael L. Lovejoy, Michael R. Melloch, Mark S. Lundstrom, D. Ritter, R. A. Hamm

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Minority electron mobilities in pf-In0.ssGac4, As have been measured with the zero field time-of-flight technique. The room-temperature (297 K) minority electron mobilities for p+-In,, 53Gac47A~ doped 0.9 and 3.1 x 10” cmm3 are found to be 2900 and 3300 cm* V-’ s-l, respectively. These are the first measurements to demonstrate enhancement in minority-carrier mobility as doping is increased for heavily doped Ines3Gae.4+s. This enhancement in mobility as doping is increased is similar to that observed in p+-GaAs, which has been attributed to reductions in plasmon and carrier-carrier scattering between minority electrons and majority holes.

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

The variation of minority electron mobility with doping density in p+-GaAs has been measured with the zero-field time-of-flight technique. The results from a series of nine GaAs films doped between 1 X lOI and 8 X 10” cmm3 show the mobility decreasing from 1950 cm2 V-’ s-l at 1 X 10” cmm3 to 1370 cm2 V-l s-l at 9X 10” cmB3. For the doping range 9 x 1018-8x 1019 cme3, the decreasing trend in mobility is reversed. The measured mobility of 3710 cm2 V-’ s-l at 8 X 10” cmp3 is about three times higher than the measured value at …

Feature Extraction And Classification Algorithms For High Dimensional Data, Chulhee Lee, David Landgrebe Jan 1993

Feature Extraction And Classification Algorithms For High Dimensional Data, Chulhee Lee, David Landgrebe

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this research, feature extraction and classification algorithms for high dimensional data are investigated. Developments with regard to sensors for Earth observation are moving in the direction of providing much higher dimensional multispectral imagery than is now possible. In analyzing such high dimensional data, processing time becomes an important factor. With large increases in dimensionality and the number of classes, processing time will increase significantly. To address this problem, a multistage classification scheme is proposed which reduces the processing time substantially by eliminating unlikely classes from further consideration at each stage. Several truncation criteria are developed and the relationship between …
