Charge trapping characterization methodology for the evaluation of hafnium-Based gate dielectric film systemsElectron trapping data obtained with the pulsed Id-Vgmeasurements suggests that the trapping occurs mostly in the bulk of the high-κfilmrather than only atthe interface ofthe high-κdielectric and interfacial oxide which leads to less bulk trapping in physically thinner high-κgate stacks. Carrier mobility of thinner hybrid stacks corrected for...

Hydrodynamic modeling of a hypothetical river diversion near empire, louisianaIn this thesis an attempt was made to build two hydrodynamic models with as much similarity as practicallypossible using two different popular finite element codes. Although for the most part the two modelsshow similar sensitivities to the model parameters tested here, differences in the models have led to some significant differences in th...

Assessment of shearing phenomenon and porosity of porous media using microfocus computed tomographyThe datapresentedinthe first part ofthisthesis could becompared with the values obtained from different theoretical models. This could help in improving modeling of the constitutive behavior of granular materials. • In this study, plastic beads where used to model the behavior of granular materials. The possibility of using other materials, li...

Small and large strain monitoring of unsaturated soil behavior by means of multiaxial testing and shear wave propagationWhenever possible, the use of parallel bender elements should be preferred over the series type to reduce the distortion produced by cross-taking and near field effects on the received traces. Their higher cost is compensated with the save in time that it takes to prepare the series bender elements to diminish such effects. Another alternat...

Performance-Based voluntary group contracts for nonpoint source water pollution controlSince this is a first attempt to some of the concepts. This study is very basic and needs to be extended to more complicated and realistic cases. For example, agent’s utility function can be change to risk-averse case,or the principal can be social planner (government entity) instead of point source ofpolluter. Also, target level and abatemen...

In‐situ and nondestructive test methods applied to the design and construction of pile foundation projects in coastal louisianaFor the piles driven at the LA‐1 Relocated site, the range of Case damping constants determined varies between 0.30 and 0.43, with a mean of 0.37. Based on the table of recommended values, this falls within the range of silt, though sand and clay were predominantly encountered in the soil borings and CPT soundings. This raises the question ...

Governance structures in the post asset restructuring period: responses by boards of directors and top managers to institutional pressuresUnlike firms in single divestiture studies, firms engaging in programs of divestiture may not do so as a result of substandard business unit performance (Johnson, 1996). A company that undertakes a program of divestitures might do so as a result of lower than expected growth in the unit or as a result of an exploratory move into new markets...

Evaluation of the spatial removal of nitrogen in the marshland upwelling systemOnly filtered monitoring well and primary wastewater samples analyzed for total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) were utilized for thisstudy. TAN measurements were assumed representative of the total soluble nitrogen within the system. This assumption was based on a primary, filtered TAN:TKN ratio of 92% as well as nitrite nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen...
