A 0.1 PS Resolution Coarse-Fine Time-To-Digital Converter with 2.21 PS Single-Shot Precision
(2018-05)This dissertation proposes a new type of time-to-digital converter based on a resistor-capacitor (RC) delay line that offers low power consumption, high speed and high resolution with error-correction circuitry. The 14-bit, ... -
A 12-Bit Two-Step SAR ADC with Linearized Open-Loop Amplifier
(2017-05)Successive approximation register analog to digital converter (SAR ADC), which mostly consists of digital components, is becoming more and more popular in recent years as it is power efficient and friendly to process ... -
A 25-MHz Four-Phase SAW Hysteretic Control DC-DC Converter with 1-Cycle Active Phase Count
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-02-22)In order to meet stringent power requirements in modern application processors, a 25-MHz four-phase dc-dc power converter is presented. It employs an adaptive window hysteretic control to facilitate ultra-fast transient ... -
A Bayesian Hierarchical Framework for Pathway Analysis in Genome-Wide Association Studies
(2018-08-31)The genome-wide association studies (GWAS) aim to identify genetic variants, typically single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), associated with a disease/trait. A commonly used analytic strategy in GWAS is to test for ... -
A Bayesian Latent Variable Approach to Aggregation of Partial and Top-Ranked Lists in Genomic Studies
In genomic research, it is becoming increasingly popular to perform meta-analysis, the practice of combining results from multiple studies that target a common essential biological problem. Rank aggregation, a robust ... -
A Bayesian Modeling for Paired Data in Genome-Wide Association Studies with Application to Breast Cancer
(2020-12-02)Many complex human diseases are associated with genetic factors. Identifying genetic markers is the key step to account for disease heritability, and develop disease diagnosis, risk prediction, prevention and therapeutic ... -

(Elsevier Science Inc, 2018-10-22)This paper presents the findings of a bibliometric study, targeting an eight-year period (2010-2017), with the aim of identifying: (a) emerging research directions, (b) the top-20 institutions, and (c) top-20 early stage, ... -
A Big Data Framework for Unstructured Text Processing With Applications Towards Political Science and Healthcare
(2021-12-01)Machine learning and deep neural networks have soared in popularity in recent years, allowing us to enhance many aspects of everyday life. While these methods are intuitive, they are very reliant on the dataset being used ... -
A Business That Can't Lose: Investing in Attacks against the Colombian Power Grid
(Elsevier B.V., 2019-05-31)In 2005 a company in charge of repairing electric transmission towers made a deal with guerrilla militants to demolish the towers. This company thrived, because the attacks were attributed to guerrilla groups, who commit ... -
A Class of Implicit Transmission Techniques for Throughput Enhancement
(2018-12)Throughput enhancing techniques are very valuable to keep up with the fast increasing data rates in communication systems. Implicit transmission is particularly attractive as it can transmit information without physically ... -
A Clinical Experiment on Infant Applied Pressures During Breastfeeding
(Amer Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2019)Breastfeeding provides both nutrients and immunities necessary for infant growth. Understanding the biomechanics of breastfeeding requires capturing both positive and negative pressures exerted by infants on the breast. ... -
A Coil Detection System for Dynamic Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicle
Application of wireless power transfer while EV is in motion can significantly reduce the battery storage capacity. A major challenge in implementation of dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) is automatic detection of ... -
A Comparative Study of the China Factor in Taiwan and Hong Kong Elections
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2018-05-20)This chapter probes the economic dimension of the China factor in Taiwan and Hong Kong politics. We discuss how economic integration efforts affect elections and party competitions in smaller states neighboring China. ... -
A Comparison of Stealthy Sensor Attacks on Control Systems
As more attention is paid to security in the context of control systems and as attacks occur to real control systems throughout the world, it has become clear that some of the most nefarious attacks are those that evade ... -
A Complex Task Scheduling Scheme for Big Data Platforms Based on Boolean Satisfiability Problem
In the big data processing systems, the amount of data is increasing. At the same time, the real-time requirement of data processing and analysis is higher and higher. Therefore, it is required that the big data processing ... -
