Fabrication and DC characterization of single electron transistors at low temperature
(2007-08-02)The metallic single electron transistor (SET) has been shown to provide charge sensitivity on the order of 10-6 e/(Hz)1/2, when operated as a charge amplifier. This makes it an ideal candidate for low-noise measurement ... -
Fabrication and Modeling of Multimode Fiber Lenses
(2016-03-07)We report on the fabrication, modeling, and experimental verification of the emission of fiber lenses fabricated on multimode fibers in different media. Concave fiber lenses with a radius of 150 μm were fabricated onto a ... -
Fabrication and Properties of Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3 Based Ferroelectric Ceramics with Low Levels of B-site Additives
(2008-10-09)Three different B-site additives, Mg1/3Nb2/3, Zr4+, and Cu1/2W1/2, were added to BNT ceramics in varying concentrations. These were abbreviated as BNMN, BNZ, and BNCW, respectively. The compositions were calcined to form ... -
FABRICATION AND STUDY OF AC ELECTRO-OSMOTIC MICROPUMPS
(2013-05-07)In this thesis, microelectrode arrays of micropumps have been designed, fabricated and characterized for transporting microfluid by AC electro-osmosis (ACEO). In particular, the 3D stepped electrode design which shows ... -
Fabrication of a Bioactive Scaffold Material for Meniscus Tissue Engineering
(2013-11-20)Injuries to the meniscus are a common and important source of mobility issues in the knees of young active individuals, as well as elderly individuals. Conventional treatments for these injuries involve surgical resections ... -
FABRICATION, CHARACTERIZATION, AND IRRADIATION OF AN AUSTENITIC OXIDE DISPERSION STRENGTHENED STEEL SUITED FOR NEXT GENERATION NUCLEAR APPLICATIONS
As nuclear energy systems become more advanced, the materials encompassing them need to perform at higher temperatures for longer periods of time. In this Master’s thesis we experiment with an oxide dispersion strengthened ... -
A Fabry-Perot Refractometer for Chemical Vapor Sensing by Solid-Phase Microextraction
(2016-03-14)The contour lithography method [1] is used to improve the fabrication yield of previously demonstrated [2] microfluidic Fabry-Perot (FP) refractive index (RI) sensors. The sensors are then coated with polydimethylsiloxane ... -
Faces of the Courtroom: How the Visual Elements of Portraiture Contribute to the Construction and Communication of Courtroom Sketches
The purpose of this study is to interrogate the composition and influence of courtroom sketches from an art historical perspective with the aim of demonstrating not only their importance in the public’s understanding of ... -
Facies Architecture and Stratigraphy of Tidal Ridges in the Eocene Roda Formation, Northern Spain
(2011-05-02)ABSTRACT The Eocene Roda Formation in northern Spain documents the deposits from a range of coastal depositional environments. These include alluvial plains, distributary channels, mouth bars, upper to lower-shorefaces, ... -

Factors affecting activities and participation in persons with disabilities - informing models and measures
(2008-06-19)Purpose- The World Health Organization describes ‘activities’ as what one does, and ‘participation’ as life situations or roles. This thesis explores and describes important influencers of activities and participation ... -
Factors Affecting Pediatric Asthma in Rural Saskatchewan
(2012-09-20)Background: Previous research suggests that children living on farms have a lower prevalence of asthma compared to their more urban counterparts. Four potential explanations may underlie this association: personal factors, ... -
Factors Affecting the Stability of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
(2012-01-04)Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is a relatively new procedure that is used to treat shoulders with massive rotator cuff tears combined with arthritis, a condition that is not well managed using conventional shoulder arthroplasty. ... -
