Algorithms for passive dynamical modeling and passive circuit realizations
… rely on accurate dynamical models. Linear passive components are described by their frequency response in the form of admittance, impedance or scattering parameters which are obtained by physical measurements or electromagnetic field simulations. Numerical dynamical models for these …

Passive microfluidic interconnects
… and procedures were developed to test two passive microfluidic interconnect rings held together by the friction forces on the contact surfaces. The second design forms fluid seals by means of thin flared rings of compliant material being compressed into undersized sockets. Interconnects …

Passive Rational Fitting of a Passive Network Transfer Function From Its Real Part
… generate a rational function approximation of a passive network transfer function that makes use of sampled values of the transfer function's real part at a set of frequencies over the bandwidth of interest. For passive networks, real-part sufficiency describes the fact that the self and mutual …

Passive Unaccusatives In L2 English
Passive unaccusativity refers to a phenomenon whereby L2 English speakers produce unaccusative verbs in passive constructions. Since unaccusative verbs are a subset of intransitive verbs and thus generally do not passivize, the question of how learners recognize unaccusatives without any overt …

Passive transport through biological membranes
… molecules. The cell achieves this task via passive and active transport. In this thesis we focus on passive transport processes. In Chapter 1 of this thesis I introduce the topic of passive transport and its importance for biological systems. In Chapter 2 I use fluorescence methods to …

Passive language learning application design
This thesis proposes the term “passive language learning” and presents four digital language learning products designed and collaboratively implemented by the author. All of the four applications promote learning a foreign language passively by using creative application design to naturally …

Passive smoking and meningococcal disease
… adjusting for confounders, the main force of passive smoking as a risk factor for meningococcal disease appeared to be in the presence of a recent upper respiratory tract infection. Other factors that remained significant after adjusting for confounders included: being breastfed for less than …

Passive Noise Control in Incubators
… damage [1].This thesis presents a study on how passive noise control devices can be used to reduce SPL levels in incubator NICU environments. A combination of experimental testing coupled with Finite Element simulations were performed for a modern incubator. In the experimental portion, porous …

Passive localization of underwater acoustic beacons
… hydrophone as a receiving sensor to passively localize an acoustic beacon. The localization problem is presented as a constrained, nonlinear parameter estimation problem, and Lagrange multipliers are introduced to solve for the maximum likelihood estimate of the acoustic beacon's …

Active and Passive Transport at Interfaces
… each of them one physical aspect of active and passive transport is discussed. The four systems are arranged and discussed in four separate chapters. In chapter 3 and 4 we study the effect of static or hydrodynamic interactions on the cross over from individual diffusion towards collective …

Passive harmonic generation at spring contacts
<p>"In the first paper, the RF passive harmonic generation phenomenon on the spring contact is studied. A spring contact harmonic generation measurement system is developed. The factors that may have an impact on the spring contact harmonic generation, such as contact material, contact force, and …

Passive Categorisation Training for Tinnitus Management
Background: While sound therapy (ST) is commonly used for tinnitus relief, tinnitus heterogeneity necessitates advancements in such conventional methods. This thesis evaluated tinnitus replica generation and role in tinnitus management, specifically within a novel effortless auditory …

Output Synchronization of Networked Passive Systems
Our results are also used to address the general problem of synchronization of multiple Lagrangian systems. The problems of multi-robot coordination and of bilateral teleoperation with time delay are shown to be special cases of our general results.

Examining Evidence for Passive in Yoruba
The construction of English passives is formed by placing the noun which denotes the subject of the action in the sentence to the object position and then making the object of the sentence dislocate to the subject position. Other transformations include the change of the auxiliary verb and the …

Electronic countermeasures applied to passive radar
Passive Radar (PR) is a form of bistatic radar that utilises existing transmitter infrastructure such as FM radio, digital audio and video broadcasts (DAB and DVB-T/T2), cellular base station transmitters, and satellite-borne illuminators like DVB-S instead of a dedicated radar transmitter. …
