Full textAbstract:
Ventilation by high-frequency body-surface oscillation (HFBSO) was studied in normal rabbits. Adequate ventilation and acceptable gas exchange took place during HFBSO from 3 to 15 Hz. The tidal volume required to maintain a normocapnic state was established at each frequency studied. Using catheter-tip micromanometers inserted in the esophagus or the superior vena cava, new techniques to measure high-frequency intrathoracic pressure oscillations were developed. Using a gamma-function to fit the thermodilution curve, a new technique was developed to measure the cardiac output in small animals. No detrimental hemodynamic effect was found during HFBSO used either for normocapnic ventilation or with large pressure oscillations (30 cm H$ sb{ rm 2}$O) in the body chamber. Finally, during normocapnic ventilation by HFBSO in normal rabbits, the mechanical behavior of the respiratory system was characterized using transfer impedances.

Full textAbstract:
An investigation into various methods of calculation of the high frequency performance parameter f[formula omitted] for microwave heterojunction bipolar transistors is presented. Two high frequency representations of the device are developed: equivalent circuits consisting entirely
of lumped circuit elements, and a two-port network based on drift-diffusion equations.
Proper account is taken in these representations of the phase delay associated with carrier transit time through the base and base-collector space charge region. Also included are the charging time effects due to the various parasitic circuit elements associated
with actual devices. A single-sided isolated structure is used in simulations and it is found that both representations yield remarkably similar characteristics for the behavior
of unilateral gain U with frequency. For devices in which the dominant factors limiting high frequency performance are the parasitic resistances and capacitances, it is found that U rolls off at 6 dB/octave through the region where U = 1 and the values predicted for f[formula omitted] via these two methods, as well as via the widely-used analytical expression
involving f[formula omitted] and (R[formula omitted]C[formula omitted])[formula omitted], are in agreement. However, when the periods of the oscillations are on the order of the carrier transit times, and the device parasitics are sufficiently low so as to not limit performance, resonance effects occur in U in the region where U = 1 and the prediction of f[formula omitted] obtained via the two equivalent circuit approaches deviates markedly from the predictions of the analytical expression.Applied Science, Faculty of

Cette étude a été divisée en 2 parties principales. Dans la première partie, nous examinons la relation entre l'activité des sources neuronales et les HFOs observés sur les électrodes intracérébrales. La deuxième partie traite de l'étude des conditions d'observabilité des HFO sur les électrodes du cuir chevelu. Les simulations ont montré que le modèle de champ neuronal proposé est capable de générer des HFOs montrant une forte ressemblance avec les signaux réels dans les deux cas EEG (cuir chevelu) et SEEG (intracérébral). De plus, nous avons pu relier les mécanismes physiopathologiques (GABA dépolarisant, inhibition directe, activité désynchronisée des populations neuronales) aux différentes caractéristiques morphologiques et spectrales des HFOs intracérébrales. Une hypothèse unifiée pour la production des HFOs et des pointes intercritiques est également formulée. Enfin, nous avons réussi à établir les conditions nécessaires sur l'activité temporelle et l'organisation spatiale des sources neuronales pour observer des HFOs sur les électrodes intracérébrales.En ce qui concerne la deuxième partie, la baisse inexpliquée de fréquence dans les HFOs collectées sur les électrodes du cuir chevelu a été abordée. Nous avons constaté que les mécanismes «non oscillatoires» de la génération de HFOs sont à l'origine de la faible fréquence (<200Hz) des HFOs du cuir chevelu et que le rapport signal / bruit (SNR) influe fortement sur la fréquence des oscillations. De plus, nous avons étudié la topographie des HFOs sur les électrodes du cuir chevelu et analysé comment cette topographie est affectée par différents paramètres (étendue spatiale épileptique, SNR, géométrie 3D). Enfin, nous avons montré que les HFOs du cuir chevelu peuvent être utilisés efficacement pour identifier la zone épileptique lorsque le rapport signal sur bruit des signaux enregistrés est suffisamment élevé. Une perspective de ce travail est l'identification non-invasive de la zone épileptique sans la nécessité d'enregistrements intracérébraux pré-chirurgicaux.Pour les deux études (HFO observés sur les électrodes intracérébrales et du cuir chevelu), un logiciel original et convivial a été développé. Ce logiciel a fortement facilité la simulation des signaux dans l'environnement cerveau/électrode virtuel, signaux obtenus en résolvant le problème direct de l’EEG (projection de la contribution électrique des sources neuronales sur les capteurs)This study was divided into 2 main parts. In the first part, we address the relationship between the activity of neuronal sources and the HFOs observed on intracerebral electrodes. The second part deals with the investigation of observability conditions of HFOs on scalp electrodes. Simulations showed that the proposed neural field model is capable of generating HFOs showing strong resemblance with real signals in both cases EEG (scalp) and SEEG (intracerebral). Moreover, we were able to relate the pathophysiological mechanisms (depolarizing GABA, feedforward inhibition, desynchronized activity of neuronal populations) to different morphological and spectral features of intracerebral HFOs. A unified hypothesis for generation of HFOs and interictal spikes is also formulated. Finally, we managed to establish the necessary conditions about the temporal activity and the spatial organization of neuronal sources and about for HFOs to be observed on intracerebral electrodes. Regarding the second part, the unexplained drop in frequency in the collected HFOs on scalp electrodes was addressed. We found that the “non-oscillatory” mechanisms of the HFO generation is behind the low frequency (<200Hz) in scalp HFOs and that signal to noise ratio (SNR) heavily impacts the frequency of the oscillations. Moreover, we studied the topography of HFOS on scalp electrodes and analyzed how this topography is affected by different parameters (epileptic spatial extent, SNR, 3D geometry). Finally we showed that scalp HFOs can be effectively used to identify the epileptic zone when the SNR of the recorded signals is sufficiently high. A perspective to this work is the non-invasive identification of epileptic zone without the need for presurgical intracerebral recordings. For the purpose of both studies (HFOs observed on intracerebral & scalp electrodes) an original and user-friendly software package was developed. This software strongly facilitated the simulation of signals in the virtual brain/electrode environment obtained by solving the (S)EEG forward problem (projection of the electric contribution of neuronal sources onto electrode contacts)

Full textAbstract:
Small size, light weight, high efficacy, longer lifetime and controllable output are the main advantages of high-frequency electronic ballasts for gas discharge lamps. However, power line quality and electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues arise when a simple peak rectifying circuit is used. To suppress harmonic currents and improve power factor, input-current-shaping (ICS) or power-factor-correction (PFC) techniques are necessary.
This dissertation addresses advanced high-frequency electronic ballasting techniques by using a single-stage PFC approach. The proposed techniques include single-stage boost-derived PFC electronic ballasts with voltage-divider-rectifier front ends, single-stage PFC electronic ballasts with wide range dimming controls, single-stage charge-pump PFC electronic ballasts with lamp voltage feedback, and self-oscillating single-stage PFC electronic ballasts.
Single-stage boost-derived PFC electronic ballasts with voltage-divider-rectifier front ends are developed to solve the problem imposed by the high boost conversion ratio required by commonly used boost-derived PFC electronic ballast. Two circuit implementations are proposed, analyzed and verified by experimental results.
Due to the interaction between the PFC stage and the inverter stage, extremely high bus-voltage stress may exist during dimming operation. To reduce the bus voltage and achieve a wide-range dimming control, a novel PFC electronic ballast with asymmetrical duty-ratio control is proposed. Experimental results show that wide stable dimming operation is achieved with constant switching frequency.
Charge-pump (CP) PFC techniques utilize a high-frequency current source (CS) or voltage source (VS) or both to charge and discharge the so-called charge-pump capacitor in order to achieve PFC. The bulky DCM boost inductor is eliminated so that this family of PFC circuits has the potential for low cost and small size. A family of CPPFC electronic ballasts is investigated. A novel VSCS-CPPFC electronic ballast with lamp-voltage feedback is proposed to reduce the bus-voltage stress. This family of CPPFC electronic ballasts are implemented and evaluated, and verified by experimental results.
To further reduce the cost and size, a self-oscillating technique is applied to the CPPFC electronic ballast. Novel winding voltage modulation and current injection concepts are proposed to modulate the switching frequency. Experimental results show that the self-oscillating CS-CPPFC electronic ballast with current injection offers a more cost-effective solution for non-dimming electronic ballast applications.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
With the transition towards renewable energy, and the deregulation of the electricity market, generation patterns and grid topology are changing. These changes increase the need for transfer capacity. One limiting factor, which sometimes leads to underutilization of the transmission grid, is interarea oscillations. These system-wide modes involve groups of generators oscillating relative to each other and are sometimes hard to control due to their scale and complexity. In this thesis we investigate how high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission can be used to attenuate interarea oscillations. The thesis has two main contributions. In the first contribution we show how the stability of two asynchronous grids can be improved by modulating the active power of a single interconnecting HVDC link. One concern with modulating HVDC active power is that the interaction between interarea modes of the two grids may have a negative impact on system stability. By studying the controllability Gramian, we show that it is always possible to improve the damping in both grids as long as the frequencies of their interarea modes are not too close. For simplified models, it is explicitly shown how the controllability, and therefore the achievable damping improvements, deteriorates as the frequency difference becomes small. The second contribution of the thesis is to show how coordinated control of two (or more) links can be used to avoid interaction between troublesome interarea modes. We investigate the performance of some multivariable control designs. In particular we look at input usage as well as robustness to measurement, communication, and actuator failures. Suitable controllers are thereby characterized.Övergången till förnybar energi och avregleringen av elmarknaden leder till förändrade produktions-och överföringsmönster. Dessa förändringar medför behov av en ökad överföringskapacitet. En begränsande faktor, som kan leda till ett underutnyttjande av stamnätet, är interareapendlingar. Dessa systemövergripande pendlingar involverar grupper av generatorer som svänger i förhållande till varandra. Interareapendlingar är ibland svåra att styra på grund av deras skala och komplexitet. I denna avhandling undersöker vi hur förbindelser med högspänd likström, engleska high-voltage direct current (HVDC), kan användas för att dämpa interareapendlingar. Avhandlingen har två huvudbidrag. I det första bidraget visar vi hur stabiliteten hos två olika synkrona nät kan förbättras genom att modulera den aktiva effekten hos en enda HVDC-länk. Ett bekymmer med aktiv effektmodulering är att växelverkan mellan interareapendlingar hos de två näten kan ha en negativ inverkan på systemets stabilitet. Genom att studera styrbarhetsgramianen visar vi att det alltid är möjligt att förbättra dämpningen i båda näten så länge som frekvenserna hos deras interareapendlingar inte ligger för nära varandra. För förenklade modeller visas det uttryckligen hur styrbarheten och därmed de möjliga dämpningsförbättringarna, försämras då frekvensskillnaden blir liten. Avhandlings andra bidrag visar hur koordinerad styrning av två (eller fler) länkar kan användas för att undvika växelverkan mellan besvärliga interareapendlingar. Vi undersöker prestandan hos olika typer av flervariabla regulatorer. I synnerhet undersökers styrsignalsanvändning samt robusthet mot mät-, kommunikations- och aktuatorfel. Därigenom karakteriseras lämpliga regulatortyper.

Full textAbstract:
The Internet Based real-time GPS synchronized wide-area Frequency Monitoring Network (FNET) is an extremely low cost and quickly deployable wide-area frequency measurement system with high dynamic accuracy which consists of Frequency Disturbance Recorder (FDR) distributed to more than 100 places around North America and an Information Management System situated at Virginia Tech. Since its first FDR deployment in 2003, the FNET system has been proved to be able to reliably receive phasor data accurately measured at and instantaneously sent via the Internet from different locations of interest, and efficiently run the analyzing program to detect and record significant system disturbances and subsequently estimate the location of disturbance center, namely the event location, in the electric grid based on the information gathered. The excellent performance of the FNET system so far has made power grid situation awareness and monitoring based on distribution level frequency measurements a reality, and thus advances our understanding of power system dynamics to a higher level and in a broader dimensionality.
Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of this dissertation briefly introduce the genesis and the architecture of the FNET system, followed by a summary of its concrete implementations. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 outline FNET frequency estimation algorithm and phase angle estimation algorithm, including their attributes and the new methodologies to enhance them. In Chapter 5, the report discusses the algorithms developed at FNET to detect the frequency disturbance and estimate the disturbance location by the triangulation procedure using real-time frequency data and geographic topology of the FNET units in the power grid where the disturbance occurs. Then, the dissertation proceeds to introduce the FNET angle-based power system oscillation detection and present some research about Matrix Pencil Modal Analysis of FNET phase angle oscillation data in the following two chapters. Lastly, the content of this report is summarized and the future work envisioned in Chapter 8.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
Background: High frequency oscillations (HFOs) are transient electroencephalographic events that may play a role in epileptogenesis. Initially detected using microcontacts (10-3 mm2), they can be recorded using macrocontacts (1 to 20 mm2). It has been demonstrated that microcontacts detect HFOs better than macrocontacts. Given the wide range of clinical contact sizes, it was hypothesized that smaller macrocontacts detect HFOs better than larger macrocontacts.Methods: Rates, characteristics and cross correlation of HFOs, coherence and amount of artefact were compared between the recordings from adjacent contacts of electrodes containing contiguous macrocontacts of different sizes, in 10 patients and 8 experimental animals.
Results: Rates and characteristics were not significantly different between the different contact sizes. Differences in coherence and artefact were not significant. Conclusion: In the range tested, contact size did not affect HFO detection rate. Further study remains to be done to determine if larger contact sizes than those evaluated here are also equivalent.
Introduction : Les oscillations de haute fréquence (high frequency oscillations, HFOs) sont de brefs phénomènes électroencéphalographiques qui pourraient jouer un rôle dans l'épileptogénèse. Initialement décrites à partir d'enregistrements à l'aide de microcontacts (10-3 mm2), les HFOs peuvent aussi être enregistrées par des macrocontacts (1 à 20 mm2), mais ces derniers paraissent moins efficaces à les détecter. Vu le spectre de tailles des macrocontacts, nous avons supposé que de plus petits macrocontacts détectent mieux les HFOs que de plus grands
Méthodes : Les taux de détection, caractéristiques et corrélation croisée des HFOs, ainsi que la cohérence et les artéfacts de l'EEG, ont été comparés entre des enregistrements intracrâniens provenant de contacts contigus mais de taille différente chez 8 rats expérimentaux et 10 patients.
Résultats : Aucune différence significative de taux, caractéristiques, cohérence ni artéfact n'a été décelée. Conclusion : A l'intérieur du spectre de tailles étudiées, la taille du contact n'influence pas la détection des HFOs. Il reste à déterminer si des macrocontacts plus grands demeurent aussi efficaces.

Full textAbstract:
Storms can be both destructive and valuable at the same time. They expose coastal areas to various risks but can also enhance the supply of wind energy and provide marine ecosystems with oxygen rich water. As the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is known to have a significant impact on the wind climate in Europe, investigating its interconnection to storm frequency and intensity under global warming circumstances in the Northern Baltic Sea region was of interest in this study. Wind speed data series of annual storm counts were obtained from five meteorological stations along with PC-based NAO values over the period 1960-2017. The data series were analysed in Microsoft Excel and modelled using a Poisson regression or negative binomial regression model in SPSS Statistics. The results display an unsystematic spatial pattern both in the association to the NAO as well as in the overall storm frequency. However, storm (≥ 21 m s-1) frequency has generally been decreasing, whereas the proportion of severe storms (≥ 24 m s-1) has slightly been increasing, suggesting a tendency toward stronger but fewer storms. Even though only certain data series display statistically significant findings (p ≤ .05), a majority of the winter storms and severe winter storms display a positive association, indicating that a higher NAOI is related to a greater number of winter storms. The spatial and temporal variability in the obtained results can partially be explained by storm tracks and prevalent wind directions. Nevertheless, inhomogeneities do presumably affect the wind speed observations through internal and external influences and changes related to the meteorological stations. Future research should, therefore, also consider integrating other storm related parameters, such as direct air pressure measurements, wave heights and storm surges, as well as implement different data homogenization methods and techniques.

Full textAbstract:
A power system stability is essential for maintaining the power system oscillation frequency within a small and acceptable interval around its nominal frequency. Hence, it is necessary to study and control the frequency for stable operation of a power system by knowing the characteristics within a power system. One approach is to understand the effectiveness of frequency and damping characteristics of generators in power systems. Hence, the simulation analysis of IEEE 118-bus power system is used for this study. The analysis includes theoretical analysis with a mathematical approach and simulation studies of swing equation to determine the characteristics of damped single-machine infinite bus, which is represented as a generator connects to a large network system with a small signal disturbance by line losses. Additionally, mathematical derivation of Prony analysis is presented in order to estimate the frequency and damping ratio of the simulation results. In the end, the results demonstrate that the frequency and damping characteristics of generators are highly dependent on the system inertia constant. Therefore, the higher inertia constant is a critical factor to ensure the system is more stable.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Dopamine replacement therapy is the main method of treating Parkinson’s Disease (PD), however over time this treatment causes increasingly abnormal, involuntary movements. This symptom, known as Levodopa-Induced-Dyskinesia (LID) is associated with aberrant, high frequency oscillations (HFOs) in the motor cortex and basal ganglia, as demonstrated with implanted electrodes in human Parkinson’s patients as well as in a rat model of Parkinson’s Disease. However, despite efforts to determine if the same high frequency oscillations are also present during dyskinesia in the widespread 6-OHDA mouse model of Parkinson’s Disease, studies have been unable to do so. By building and implanting a 64-channel multi-electrode array into a unilateral 6-OHDA lesioned mouse, we were able to record HFOs at 80Hz and >100Hz in the motor cortex, basal ganglia and thalamus in the lesioned hemisphere during LID. We also recorded bilateral HFOs at >100Hz in the intact hemisphere. With this work we show that the same HFOs that are present in the motor cortex and basal ganglia of rats and humans are also present in mice during dyskinesia. This work will act to further validate the 6-OHDA PD-model in mice and provide opportunities to investigate new treatments for Parkinson’s Disease, dyskinesia and other neurological conditions. It will also serve as a model to study a purposed mechanism underlying the information processing in populations of neurons.Dopaminbehandling är den mest förekommande metoden för att behandla Parkinsons sjukdom men detta orsakar dessvärre en bieffekt i form av gradvis förvärrande ofrivilliga rörelser. Detta beteendemönster kallas för Levodopa-Inducerad-Dyskinesi (LID) och med hjälp av elektrodimplantat i hjärnan, på parkinsonpatienter och djurmodeller av parkinsons, har man kunnat se att beteendet är förknippat med högfrekventa oscilleringar (HFO) av hjärnaktivitet i motorcortex och basala ganglierna. Trots försök att kartlägga om dessa högfrekventa oscilleringar också är närvarande i den populära 6-OHDA musmodellen av Parkinsons sjukdom, så har man hittills inte lyckats demonstrera detta. Genom att bygga och implantera ett elektrodimplantat med 64 kanaler i en ensidigt-leisonerad 6-OHDA musmodell av Parkinsons sjukdom så kunde vi åskådliggöra HFO i motor cortex, basala ganglierna och thalamus i den lesionerade hjärnhalvan under LID. Vi kunde också påvisa HFO som sträckte sig över till den intakta hjärnhalvan, med frekvenser över 100 Hz. Denna forskning ger stöd att 6-OHDA modellen för Parkinsons i möss är valid och ger möjlighet till nya metoder att utforska och behandla Parkinsons, dyskinesi och andra neurologiska åkommor. Studien lägger också grunden för framtida studier som ämnar att undersöka föreslagna mekanismer bakom sättet populationer av neuroner bearbetar information.

Full textAbstract:
Les interactions non linéaires entre modes de pulsation, induisant des modulations d'amplitude et de fréquence, sont difficiles à mettre en évidence avec les télescopes au sol en raison des temps caractéristiques en jeu, de l'ordre de la semaine, du mois, ou même de l'année. L'avènement des télescopes spatiaux comme KEPLER (opéré par la NASA) a considérablement changé la donne en apportant de nouvelles données pour ce domaine de recherche. Dans cette thèse, nous analysons les données photométriques obtenues avec KEPLER pour 24 étoiles compactes pulsantes, incluant 18 étoiles sous-naines de type B (sdB) et 6 naines blanches. Nous établissons que les modulations d'amplitude et de fréquence des modes d'oscillation sont un phénomène courant dans ces étoiles. Nous étudions en particulier deux étoiles : KIC 0862602, une naine blanche pulsante de type DB, et KIC 10139564, une étoile sdB variable à courtes périodes. KIC 0862602 et KIC 10139564 ont été observées sans interruption par KEPLER en cadence rapide pendant deux années pour la première et plus de trois ans pour la seconde. En analysant en détail ces données photométriques de très haute précision, nous mettons en évidence différents types de comportements affectant les composantes de triplets induits par la rotation stellaire. Les fréquences et amplitudes de ces modes montrent des variations soi périodiques soi irrégulières, ou demeurent constantes. Ces comportements peuvent être connectés à ceux prédits par les équations d'amplitude dans le cas de couplages non linéaires résonants entre modes, en particulier pour les temps caractéristiques des modulations. De plus, nous montrons que les modes en résonance constituant les triplets peuvent également interagir avec des modes extérieurs par le biais d'autres formes de résonances telle que la résonance à trois modes v 0 ~ v 1 + v 2 , une situation qui n'est pas prise en compte dans le cadre théorique existant. Ces études apportent pour la première fois une preuve claire de l'existence de mécanismes de couplages non linéaires entre modes d'oscillations dans les pulsateurs compacts. Cette découverte résonne comme un avertissement pour les projets visant à mesurer les taux de changement des périodes dus à l'évolution dans les étoiles compactes en général. Les modulations de fréquence d'origine non linéaire peuvent potentiellement empêcher toute mesure fiable de ces taux, à moins de corriger ces effets auparavant. Les modulations observées caractérisées dans cette thèse apportent un regard nouveau sur "l'astérosismologie non linéaire" et appellent à revisiter les méthodes d'analyse des courbes de lumière pour en extraire les modes d'amplitude et de fréquence variables. Dans un futur proche, nous anticipons davantage d'attention portée à ces phénomènes non inéaires dans différents types d'étoiles pulsantes observées depuis l'espace, ainsi qu'un regain d'intérêt pour la théorie non linéaire des oscillations stellaires en généralNonlinear mode interactions, inducing amplitude and frequency modulations, are difficult to observe from ground-based telescopes as these typical timescales of the modulations are of the order of weeks, months, or even years. The launch of space telescopes such as Kepler (operated by NASA) has tremendously changed the situation by providing new data for this research field. In this thesis, we analyze the Kepler photometric data observed for 24 compact pulsators, including 18 hot B subdwarf (sdB) stars and six white dwarf stars. We find that it is a common phenomenon that oscillation modes in these pulsating stars show amplitude and/or frequency variations. We focus in particular on two stars, KIC 08626021, a DB white dwarf, and KIC 10139564, a short period sdB star. KIC 08626021 and KIC 10139564 have been monitored by Kepler in short-cadence mode for nearly two years and more than three years without interruption, respectively. By analyzing in depth these high-quality photometric data, we find that the modes within triplets induced by rotation clearly reveal different types of behaviors : their frequency and amplitude may exhibit either periodic or irregular modulations, or remain constant. These various behaviors can be linked to those predicted within the amplitude equation formalism in the case of the nonlinear resonant mode coupling mechanism, particularly for the modulation timescales. Furthermore, we find that the triplet resonance modes can also interact with outside modes through other types of resonances such as the three-mode resonance v 0 ~ v 1 + v 2 , which is not considered within the current nonlinear theoretical frameworks. These findings constitute the first clear evidence of nonlinear resonant mode couplings occurring in compact pulsators. This should resonate as a warning to projects aiming at measuring the evolutionary change rate of pulsation periods in compact stars in general. Nonlinear modulations of the frequencies can potentially jeopardize any attempt to measure reliably such rates, unless they can be corrected beforehand. The observed modulations characterized in this thesis provide new insights to "nonlinear asteroseismology" and call for new methods to process the signals of variable modes from the observed light curves. We foresee that increasing attention will focus on these nonlinear phenomena in various types of pulsating stars observed from space in the near future, thus reviving interest in the nonlinear oscillation theory in general

Full textAbstract:
In visual cortex, high-contrast grating stimuli induce neurons to oscillate synchronously with a centre frequency in the gamma range (~30–80 Hz). The peak frequency of visual gamma oscillations is modulated by numerous factors, including stimulus properties, cortical architecture and genetics, however, it can be measured reliably over time. As demonstrated by both animal models and human pharmacological studies, the gamma peak frequency is determined by the excitation/inhibition balance and the time constants of GABAergic processes. This oscillatory parameter could thus reflect inter-individual differences in cortical function/physiology, representing a possible biomarker for pharmacological treatment in conditions such as epilepsy, autism and schizophrenia. This thesis demonstrates the importance of measuring the gamma peak frequency accurately and reliably in magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings. In Chapter 2, a novel quality-control (QC) approach was validated for peak frequency estimation and identification of poor-quality data. In Chapter 3, QC of a previous pharmacological MEG study of visual gamma with tiagabine revealed a marked drug-induced reduction of peak frequency. Although contrasting with the null finding originally reported (Muthukumaraswamy et al., 2013), the result is supported by both animal models and recent human studies, demonstrating the potentialities of appropriate QC routines. In Chapter 4, testing for the effect of spatial attention on the gamma peak frequency in primary visual cortex resulted in no evidence of a change. However, the modulation of gamma amplitude by attention was consistent with a role in feed-forward signal propagation across the visual hierarchy. In Chapter 5, the QC approach was used to compare visual gamma data recorded at different sites of the UK MEG Partnership, demonstrating the feasibility of combining data from different MEG systems. These results have implications particularly for pharmacological and large-scale multi-site studies, both of which are emerging as promising approaches for the study of brain function with MEG.

Full textAbstract:
Spike timing during oscillation has been suggested to play an important role in hippocampal processing. However, how the hippocampal network and the individual neurons interact to precisely control spike timing when they receive synaptic inputs from two major excitatory input pathways - Schaffer collateral and perforant path - during natural network oscillation is yet unknown. Investigation of spike timing control mechanism would shed light on how the local STDP learning rule could be influenced by different cortical inputs during theta oscillation. Here I used whole-cell path-clamp recording of CAl pyramidal neurons in vitro and dynamic clamp to simulate in vivo-like theta frequency oscillation at the soma to characterise the spike timing responses of CAl pyramidal neurons to Schaffer collateral and perforant path inputs during theta oscillation and present them as phase response curves (PRCs), Analysis of PRCs revealed that postsynaptic spike times could not only be advanced but also be delayed depending on the timing of excitatory inputs relative to the oscillation. Such control of spike timing during theta oscillation was dependent on the synaptic weight of the input and the frequency of the oscillation. Ih and GABAB receptor-mediated inhibition were identified as an intrinsic and synaptic mechanism, respectively, underlying spike time delay during oscillation. Activation of both Ih and GABAi3 receptor-mediated inhibition by perforant path stimulation contributed to greater spike time delay compared to that with Schaf.:fer collateral input stimulation which was only mediated by Ih. Such different spike timing characteristics were important in STDP induction at the Schaffer collateral-CAl pyramidal cell synapse, Depending on the timing of the perforant path activation during theta oscillation, perforant path input could control the timing of the postsynaptic spike during STDP induction which could reverse the sign of the synaptic modification, Thus, during natural network oscillation with multiple synaptic inputs active, timing of the heterosynaptic inputs from entorhinal cortex to the hippocampus could control the outcome of the homosynaptic plasticity in the CAL These results may have implications for how the external information could be encoded and stored in the hippocampal network.

Full textAbstract:
Perissodus microlepis is a species of cichlid fish endemic to Lake Tanganyika (Africa). Adult P. microlepis are lepidophages, feeding on the scales of other living fish. As an adaptation for this feeding behavior P. microlepis exhibit lateral asymmetry with respect to jaw morphology: the mouth either opens to the right or left side of the body. Field data illustrate a temporal phenotypic oscillation in the mouth-handedness, and this oscillation is maintained by frequency-dependent selection. To better understand the oscillation, Takahashi and Hori model frequency-dependent selection in P. microlepis using a population genetic model. Their results are intriguing, and the purpose of this dissertation is to improve and extend their model, which fails to account for important biological aspects.We model P. microlepis with a novel approach that fuses the disparate modeling traditions of population genetics and population dynamics; we account for both processes since, in the case of P. microlepis, they occur on the same time scale (a case of microevolution). We construct our models using systems of difference equations. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a positive equilibrium, which corresponds to a 1 : 1 phenotypic ratio. Using a local stability and bifurcation analysis, we show that the equilibrium becomes unstable when frequency-dependent selection is sufficiently strong. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions for onset of oscillation. Local bifurcation analysis indicates key features of the oscillation that may suggest critical experiments.We determine the role of stage structure and the role of strong and weak intraspecific competition. We show that stage-structure is not necessary for, but enhances, oscillatory behavior. Finally we demonstrate the complicated interplay between population dynamic and population genetic processes. Our findings indicate that classical population genetic models can fail to elucidate complex dynamics.

pioneering research on graphene-based electronics at Georgia Tech, epitaxial graphene

possible applications in high frequency analog circuits. With a combined effort from
academic and industrial research institutions, the best cut-off frequency of graphene
radio-frequency (RF) transistors is already comparable to the best result of III-V

remained low, and the absence of a band gap inhibits the possibility of graphene in
digital electronics. Aiming at solving these problems, this thesis will demonstrate
the effort toward better high frequency power gain performance based on mono-layer

be proposed that utilizes the high speed potential of graphene electronics and logic

Full textAbstract:
The use of ultrasound contrast agents increases the information available for reconstruction during ultrasound imaging. Previously studied microbubbles, consisting of a gas core, are subject to limitations such as a short lifetime and a large size. Droplets with a liquid perfluorocarbon core that is stabilized by cellulose nanofibers eliminate these drawbacks, but require further investigation. By studying the frequency-dependent attenuation profile of the cellulose nanofiber coated perfluorocarbon droplets within an ultrasound field, information about the droplets as oscillators can be retrieved, enabling characterization of their physical properties. In this study, the frequency-dependent attenuation profile was experimentally acquired and compared between two concentrations, using flat transducers covering the frequency range of 1-15 MHz. The data collected in the time domain was processed and transformed into the frequency domain and the attenuation was calculated across the entire frequency range. Among the frequencies studied, the attenuation increases with frequency and covers the range of approximately 0.25-8.3 dB/cm and 0.01-3.3 dB/cm at the concentrations of 50 million droplets/ml and 10 million droplets/ml respectively. The attenuation reaches a minimum at 3 MHz within the highest concentration, compared to 4.43 MHz within the lowest. The increase of the attenuation with frequency is explained by the droplets not exhibiting large oscillations within the range covered. It is probable that the droplets do exhibit oscillations, due to a viscosity lower than that of water, but a resonance frequency is not found within the spectrum studied. This could be explained by a shell elasticity or a small droplet radius placing the resonance frequency outside of the spectrum studied, or high levels of damping broadening the resonance peak. Localizing the resonance frequency would enable characterization of these physical properties of the cellulose nanofiber shell as well as the perfluorocarbon liquid core of the droplets. The increase of the attenuation with frequency demonstrates that the droplets do not produce a maximized amount of scattering at a specific frequency within the range studied, which is observed among other oscillating particles implemented as ultrasound contrast agents. The attenuation is, however, larger than that of blood across all frequencies except for those among which the attenuation reaches its minimum. Potential errors that are affecting the results include droplet vaporization, the formation of flocs after the mechanical agitation has ceased, the experimental setup, the settings on the pulse generator, the sensitivity of the transducers and the processing code.

Full textAbstract:
Large-scale atmospheric disturbances play important roles in determining the general circulation of the atmosphere during the North Pacific boreal winter. A number of scientific questions have been raised due to these disturbances’ spatial and temporal complexity as well as the hydrological implication associated with them. In this dissertation, the principal goal is to further improve our understanding of the atmospheric high frequency (HF) and intermediate frequency (IF) disturbances active over the North Pacific. The study focuses on their energetics, intraseasonal and interannual variability, and the resulting hydrological impact over the eastern North Pacific and Western U.S. including extreme events. To delineate the characteristics of HF and IF disturbances in the troposphere, we first derive a new set of equations governing the local eddy kinetic energy (EKE), and assess the critical processes maintaining local budgets of the HF and IF EKE. The diagnosis assesses the 3-D patterns of energy flux convergence (EFC), barotropic conversion (BT), baroclinic conversion (BC), and cross-frequency eddy-eddy interaction (CFEI). The local EKE budget analysis is followed by an investigation of the modulation of HF and IF eddy activity by different modes of low frequency climate variability. On interannual timescales, the response of various local energetic processes to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) determines the HF and IF EKE anomalies and the role of CFEI process is important in producing these anomalies. Also on interannual timescales, winter precipitation deficits associated with suppressed cyclonic activity, i.e., negative HF EKE anomalies, are linked to severe droughts over the U.S. Southern Great Plain (SGP) region. The suppressed cyclonic activity is, in turn, tied to phase changes in the West Pacific (WP) teleconnection pattern.
On intraseasonal timescales, variations in HF disturbances (a.k.a. storm tracks) over the North Pacific are closely coupled with tropical convection anomalies induced by the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), and partly drive larger scale intraseasonal flow anomalies in this region through eddy-eddy interactions. Anomalous HF eddy activity induces subseasonal transitions between “wet” and “dry” regimes over the west coast of North America. Also on intraseasonal timescales, the East Asian cold surge (EACS) is found to provide a remote forcing of the winter precipitation anomalies in the western U.S. This modulation is achieved through “atmospheric rivers” (ARs), which are narrow channels of concentrated moisture transport in the atmosphere and are responsible for over 70% of the extreme precipitation events in the western U.S.. EACS effectively modulates the IF disturbance activity over the North Pacific, and the anomalous IF disturbances lead to the formation of an AR over the eastern North Pacific that ultimately induces precipitation anomalies in the western U.S. Analyses of the simulations from the NCAR Community Climate System Model version 4 (CCSM4) demonstrate that the connections among the EACS, AR and western U.S. precipitation are better captured by a model with higher spatial resolutions. The improved simulation of these connections is achieved mainly through a better representation of the IF disturbances, and the associated scale-interaction processes in the higher resolution model.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, we investigate the collective electron dynamics in single and coupled superlattice systems under the influence of a DC electric field. Firstly, we illustrate that Bloch oscillations suppress electron transport and the resulting charge domains form self-sustained current oscillations. Upon the application of a tilted magnetic field, stochastic web structures are shown to form in the phase space of the electron trajectory. This occurs only when the Bloch and cyclotron frequencies are commensurate allowing the electrons to demonstrate chaotic unbounded trajectories, leading to an increase in transport. The charge domain dynamics also present additional peaks during such resonances. The rapid changes in the dynamical states found is an example of non-KAM chaos. We show then the amplitude and frequency of current oscillations in a single superlattice can be controlled. Secondly, two models are designed to mutually couple two semiconductor superlattices by a common resistive load. We examine the effects of coupling strength and frequency detuning on the collective current dynamics. The devices are considered to be arranged together on a single substrate as well as on individual substrates. Large AC power is witnessed during anti-phase and in-phase synchronization between current oscillations. Finally, two superlattices are coupled through a resonance circuit incorporating single mode resonances from external influences in the circuit. In this system, chaotic current dynamics are induced with regions of chaos separating different regions of synchronization. High frequency oscillations with minimal phase difference cause the largest power generation. In all three coupling models high frequency components are found in the Fourier power spectra. The power generated in the coupled systems is found greater and at times more than double the power generated in the autonomous superlattice. Thus this thesis provides innovative methods of enhancing and controlling powerful high-frequency signals. This effectively gives manipulation over the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation produced by the superlattice.

The electric power supply industry has evolved into one of the largest industries. Even though secure and reliable operation of the electric power system is fundamental to economy, social security and quality of modern life, the complicated power grid is now facing severe challenges to meet the high-level secure and reliable operation requirements.
New technologies will play a major role in helping today's electric power industry to meet the above challenges. This dissertation has focused on some key technologies among them, including the emerging technologies of energy storage, controlled power electronics and wide area measurement technologies. Those technologies offer an opportunity to develop the appropriate objectives for power system control.
The use of power electronics based devices with energy storage system integrated into them, such as FACTS/ESS, can provide valuable added benefits to improve stability, power quality, and reliability of power systems. The study in this dissertation has provided several guidelines for the implementation of FACTS/ESS in bulk power systems.
The interest of this study lies in a wide range of FACTS/ESS technology applications in bulk power system to solve some special problems that were not solved well without the application of FACTS/ESS. The special problems we select to solve by using FACTS/ESS technology in this study include power quality problem solution by active power compensation, electrical arc furnace (EAF) induced problems solution, inter-area mode low frequency oscillation suppression, coordination of under frequency load shedding (UFLS) and under frequency governor control (UFGC), wide area voltage control.
From this study, the author of this dissertation reveals the unique role that FACTS/ESS technology can play in the bulk power system stability control and power quality enhancement in power system. In this dissertation, almost all the studies are based on the real system problems, which means that the study results are special valuable to certain utilities that have those problems. The study in this dissertation can assist power industry choose the right FACTS/ESS technology for their intended functions, which will improve the survivability, minimize blackouts, and reduce interruption costs through the use of energy storage systems.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
The plans to reduce the energy-related greenhouse gas emissions stimulate the deployment of electronically interfaced renewable resources. The increased penetration of such intermittent sources together with phasing conventional power plants out and the installation of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links for long-distance more efficient transmission, reduces the stored inertia in any electrical grid. This leads to a more vulnerable power system and increases the significance of studying the corresponding stability aspects. Decreasing the inertial response of a power system deteriorates the quality of both frequency and rotor-angle stability which are the dynamics of interest in this study. The thesis explores the role of the location of low inertia on varying the power system’s dynamics. This is to be conducted in isolation of all other factors that could affect the study outcomes, such as dealing with the same system’s inertia value upon lowering the inertia in different locations. To accomplish this objective, it is essential to analyze the inertia distribution of the examined power system following the alterations of inertia reduction location. Accordingly, an inherently previous work methodology, that estimates the relative distance of the system’s components to Center Of Inertia (COI), is utilized throughout this study. Both frequency response and small-signal stability are analyzed in light of the inertia distribution results. The thesis examines two different power systems, a small two-area model and a bigger more realistic power system. The former model, known as Kundur model, helps in building a conceptual process to apply the methodology and to benchmark the dynamics of interest. While the latter is a reduced model of the Swedish transmission grid, known as Nordic 32 model. Different scenarios of low inertia are considered to capture the current trend of integrating more Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and phasing out more conventional plants. DIgSILENT Powerfactory is the weapon of choice in this study. It is utilized to assess both the frequency stability by performing electromechanical transients’ simulations, and small-signal stability following modal analysis simulations. Results show that the alterations of low inertia location are associated with variations in Instantaneous Frequency Deviation (IFD), Rate Of Change Of Frequency (ROCOF) and the damping ratio of the most critical inter-area oscillation mode. These variations have different levels of significance. Variations of the latter two metrics have the most considerable effects from the stability’s perspective. They can be utilized to prioritize the phasing out process of the conventional power plants, and to choose one of the scenarios of a specific low inertia location over the others. This helps in fulfilling proper long-term planning and short-term operation from the system operator’s perspective.

Les resultats experimentaux obtenus sur le tokamak petula-b constituent une phenomenologie originale des instabilites mhd en regime non inductif. Ils mettent en evidence les differences qui existent entre les profils de densite de courant dans les deux regimes de fonctionnement. La generation de courant par l'onde hybride peut permettre de s'affranchir des instabilites en dents de scie, qui actuellement sur les machines de grandes dimensions, sont impliquees dans le processus de degradation du temps de confinement de l'energie en presence de chauffages additionnels. Le controle du profil de densite de courant par l'onde hybride peut donc avoir un role capital a jouer dans l'amelioration des performances des machines concues pour atteindre l'ignition

Piezoelectricity crystal is used in different area in industry, such as downhole oil, gas industry, and ballistics. The piezoelectricity crystals are able to create electric fields due to mechanical deformation called the direct piezoelectric effect, or create mechanical deformation due to the effect of electric field called the indirect piezoelectric effect. In this thesis, piezoelectricity effect is the core part. There are 4 parts in the frequency output pressure transducer: two crystal oscillators, phase-locked loop (PLL), mixer, frequency counter. Crystal oscillator is used to activate the piezoelectricity crystal which is made from quartz. The resonance frequency of the piezoelectricity crystal will be increased with the higher pressure applied. The signal of the resonance frequency will be transmitted to the PLL. The function of the PLL is detect the frequency change in the input signal and makes the output of the PLL has the same frequency and same phase with the input signal. The output of the PLL will be transmitted to a Mixer. The mixer has two inputs and one output. One input signal is from the pressure crystal oscillator and another one is from the reference crystal oscillator. The frequency difference of the two signal will transmitted to the frequency counter from the output of the mixer. Thus, the frequency output pressure transducer with a frequency counter is a portable device which is able to measure the pressure without oscilloscope or computer.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A cardiorespiratory system is highly regulated via the autonomic nervous system (ANS), whose function can be quantified noninvasively by analyzing electrocardiogram (ECG), blood pressure (BP) and respiration signals. Several conditions and illnesses are linked with imbalance of the ANS. This thesis aimed to develop methods for describing the ANS regulation of a cardiovascular system from short-term cardiorespiratory measurements. More specifically, the role of breathing rate and its effects on traditional frequency domain based cardiovascular indexes describing ANS control is addressed. The main contributions are as follows: 1) an adaptive filtering based method to remove respiratory influences from cardiovascular signals and indexes was developed. The adaptive filter reduced the bias caused by low respiration rate, enabling the usage of spontaneous respiration measurement protocol over controlled respiration. 2) Methods to quantify respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) index from cardiovascular signals were developed as well: two methods utilizes adaptive filtering and either the measured respiration signal or the ECG-derived respiration signal and one method uses independent component analysis. Developed RSA index methods allow varying respiration rates making them physiologically more accurate than traditional high frequency power with fixed respiration rate, often used as RSA index. 3) Tools for studying the power and the frequency of low frequency (LF) oscillations of cardiovascular signals were developed, including a time-frequency representation for analyzing varying data. An experimental study was conducted with patients of continuum of cardiovascular risks. According to results, aging decreased the frequency of LF oscillation, whereas coronary artery disease decreased it further. 4) Two new ECG-derived respiration (EDR) methods utilizing decomposition techniques were developed. The proposed methods yielded statistically significant improvements over previously developed EDR methods. EDR method enables to get respiratory information from ECG, which in its turn reduces needed modalities in ANS quantification. This thesis provides methods to quantify indexes describing the ANS function more accurately by acknowledging the respiration effects. The results of this thesis may be utilized in various application areas, ranging from clinical to physiology research up to commercial health, wellness and sport productsTiivistelmä Autonominen hermosto säätelee tarkasti sydän- ja verenkiertoelimistöä sekä hengitystä. Autonomisen hermoston toimintaa voidaan analysoida laskennallisin menetelmin noninvasiivisesti mitatuista elektrokardiogrammi- (EKG, sydänsähkökäyrä), verenpaine- ja hengityssignaaleista. Useita tekijöitä ja sairauksia voidaan yhdistää autonomisen hermoston epätasapainoon. Väitöskirjassa kehitettiin menetelmiä sydän- ja verisuonijärjestelmän autonomisen säätelyn kuvaamiseksi lyhytaikaisista kardiorespiratorisista tallenteista. Erityistä huomiota on kiinnitetty hengityksen vaikutukseen perinteisiin taajuustasosta laskettaviin muuttujiin, jotka kuvaavat autonomisen hermoston toimintaa. Väitöskirjan päätuloksia ja -tuotoksia ovat: 1) uusi adaptiiviseen suodatukseen pohjautuva laskennallinen menetelmä hengitysvaikutuksien poistamiseksi sydän- ja verisuonisignaaleista. Adaptiivinen suodatin vähensi matalan hengitystaajuuden aiheuttamaa vääristymää hermoston toimintaa kuvaavista parametreistä. Uusi menetelmä mahdollistaa kontrolloimattoman eli vapaan hengitystaajuus-protokollan käytön autonomisen hermoston toiminnan mittauksissa. 2) Uusia menetelmiä respiratorisen sinus arrytmian (RSA) määrittämiseksi sydän- ja verisuonisignaaleista. Kehitetyissä menetelmistä kahdessa käytetään adaptiivista suodatusta hyödyntäen joko mitattua hengityssignaalia tai EKG:stä johdettua hengityssignaalia. Kolmas menetelmä pohjautuu itsenäisten komponenttien analyysiin. Kehitetyt menetelmät RSA:n laskemiseksi sallivat hengitystaajuuden vaihtelun mittauksien aikana, mikä tekee ne fysiologisesti tarkemmaksi kuin perinteisesti käytetty korkeataajuinen (HF) komponentti, joka lasketaan taajuustasossa tietyltä kaistalta riippumatta hengitystaajuudesta. 3) Kehitettiin ja sovellettiin menetelmiä EKG:n ja verenpaineen matalataajuisten (LF) heilahtelujen tutkimista varten. Yhdessä tutkimuksessa sovellettiin aika-taajuustason esitystapaa vaihtelevan datan analysoimiksi. Kokeellinen tutkimus tehtiin aineistolla, joka oli jatkumo sydän- ja verisuonitautien riskejä omaavista potilaista jo sairastuneisiin potilaisiin. Ikääntyminen pienensi matalataajuisen heilahtelun taajuutta ja sepelvaltimosairaus pienensi sitä edelleen. 4) Kaksi uutta hajotelmatekniikoita hyödyntävää menetelmää, joilla lasketaan EKG:stä hengitysvirtausignaali-estimaatti (EDR). Kehitettyjen EDR-menetelmien suorituskyky osoittautui tilastollisesti paremmaksi kuin aikaisemmat menetelmät. Koska hengityssignaali ja -taajuus voidaan johtaa suoraan EKG:stä, tarvittavien mittaussensoreiden määrää vähenee. Lisäksi EDR:ää voidaan hyödyttää autonomisen hermoston toimintaa kuvaavien parametrien estimoinnissa. Väitöskirja tarjoaa menetelmiä autonomisen hermoston toiminnan mittaamiseksi huomioiden erityisesti hengityksen vaikutus estimoitaviin parametreihin. Väitöskirjan tuloksia voidaan soveltaa useissa kardiorespiratorisia signaaleja hyödyntävissä sovelluksissa aina kliinisestä työstä fysiologian tutkimukseen ja kaupallisiin hyvinvointi-, terveys- ja urheilusovelluksiin

Cette thèse est consacrée à l’étude haute fréquence de problèmes de Dirichlet et Neumann pour le système de l’élasticité. On y étudie le phénomène de réflexion au bord au moyen de deux techniques : la sommation de faisceaux gaussiens et les mesures de Wigner. Dans les chapitres 1 et 2, on commence par étudier le problème plus simple de l’équation des ondes scalaire à une vitesse. Sous certaines hypothèses sur les conditions initiales, on construit des solutions approchées par superposition de faisceaux gaussiens. La justification de l’asymptotique se fonde sur une estimation de normes de certains opérateurs intégraux à phases complexes. Pour des conditions initiales plus générales, on utilise les mesures de Wigner pour calculer la densité d’énergie microlocale. On calcule explicitement les transformées de Wigner d’intégrales de faisceaux gaussiens. Le comportement de la densité d’énergie microlocale de la solution exacte se déduit de celui établi pour la solution approchée. Dans le chapitre 3, on utilise les résultats établis pour les sommes infinies de faisceaux gaussiens pour construire une solution approchée pour les équations de l’élasticité et calculer sa densité d’énergie microlocale. L’existence de deux vitesses différentes dans le système de l’élasticité introduit de nouvelles difficultés qui sont traitées dans ce chapitreThis thesis is devoted to the study of the high frequency Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the elasticity system. We study the reflection phenomenon at the boundary by means of two techniques: Gaussian beams summation and Wigner measures. In chapters 1 and 2, we start by studying the simpler problem of the scalar wave equation with one speed. Under some hypotheses on the initial conditions, we build an approximate solution by a Gaussian beams superposition. Justification of the asymptotics is based on norms estimate of some integral operators with complex phases. For more general initial conditions, we use Wigner measures to compute the microlocal energy density. We compute Wigner transforms of Gaussian beams integrals in an explicit way. The behaviour of the microlocal energy density for the exact solution is deduced from the one for the approximate solution. In chapter 3, we use the established results on infinite sums of Gaussian beams to build an approximate solution for the elasticity equations and to compute its microlocal energy density. We treat new difficulties arising from the existence of two different speeds in the elasticity system

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, the form of the current-voltage characteristics and the resulting current oscillations in graphene-hexagonal boron nitride heterostructures are explored by means of theoretical investigation and are supported by experimental observations. The conditions for resonant tunnelling and the effect of device and circuit parameters are examined through simulation of the charge dynamics using the Bardeen Transfer Hamiltonian method. Studies of the effect of induced moir\'e patterns between the crystallographically aligned graphene and the boron nitride lattices are also undertaken, with recommendations for future investigation. It is theoretically shown that samples containing two layers of graphene, separated by hexagonal boron nitride tunnel barriers, produced higher frequency oscillations when the graphene lattices are aligned. This was found to be due to the decrease in wavefunction overlap in the misaligned samples, which is not compensated by the higher density of states available for tunnelling. Chemical doping of the graphene layers are also found to increase the frequency, as it allows the Dirac cones to be brought into alignment for resonant tunnelling with a higher number of states available. It is known that the mismatch in lattice constant between the graphene lattice and the hexagonal boron nitride lattice creates a moir\'e pattern. This, in turn, induces additional Dirac points in the band structure and thus leads to new features in the current-voltage characteristics. The theoretical simulations presented in this thesis are substantiated by recently-published experimental results, and provide insight into possible future high-frequency, room-temperature solid state oscillators and amplifiers. In conclusion, the mechanisms for resonant tunnelling in multiple graphene heterostructures are identified and demonstrated in this work, and provide promising evidence for novel high frequency technologies and further research.

Full textAbstract:
Finita elementmetoden (FEM) utvärderas för att i framtiden kunna undvika mycket av den fysiska provning som idag används vid optimering av maskininställningar, både vid införandet av nya maskiner men även på befintliga. Fräsmaskinen som granskas grovbearbetar fyrcylindriga vevaxlar under åtta bearbetningstempon. Resonansfrekvenser skulle kunna identifieras med hjälp av en FEM-modell och sedan undvikas genom att justera skärhastigheten. Litteraturstudien innefattar skärande bearbetning, vibrationer, svängningsteori och FEM. Modeller av vevaxlar ges av arbetsgivaren och egenfrekvensanalyser utförs i programvaran Abaqus för samtliga bearbetningstempon. Egenfrekvenser jämförs med den drivande frekvensen från fräsverktyget. Fräsning i vevaxelns egenfrekvens inträffar vid ett tillfälle, bearbetningstempo två. Vibrationerna antas inte påverkas i stor utsträckning på grund av fräsverktygets differentialdelade skär som gör att fräsning i egenfrekvens endast inträffar var sjätte skär. Vibrationsdata från arbetsgivaren visar även att vibrationerna är låga för bearbetningstempot. FEM-modellerna verifieras med fysiska experiment (slagimpulsprov) på fritt upphängd vevaxel och jämförs med resultat från FEM-analys för fri axel. Skillnaden i egenfrekvens mellan experiment och FEM-simulering är maximalt 5 %, vilket bekräftar modellernas tillförlitlighet. Vidare skapas en förenklad modell av fräsverktyget som analyseras angående egenfrekvenser i Abaqus. Egenfrekvenserna visar sig vara betydligt högre än högsta skärfrekvensen, vilket verifierar att bearbetning inte sker i verktygets egenfrekvens. Finita elementmetoden är en mycket lämplig metod för att fastställa egenfrekvenser och därmed undvika bearbetningsvibrationer som uppstår p.g.a. resonans. Fräsverktygens differentialdelade skär ger dock en ständigt varierande frekvens, vilket tyder på att vibrationerna i fräsmaskinen troligtvis inte orsakas av resonansfenomenet.The finite element method (FEM) is evaluated with the purpose of avoiding time consuming physical testing which is currently used for optimizing machine settings, both in new and existing machines. The studied milling machine machines crankshafts through eight machining steps. Resonance frequencies could be identified with a FEM-model and then be avoided by adjusting the cutting speed. The literature study includes machining through cutting, vibrations, oscillation theory and FEM. Crankshaft models are provided by the employer and eigenfrequency analyses are carried out with the software Abaqus, simulating the crankshaft mounted in the milling machine during all machining steps. The eigenfrequencies are compared to the cutting frequency from the milling tool. Milling with eigenfrequency occurs during machining step two. The influence on the vibrations is assumed to be small due to the variable teeth spacing on the tool. The machine will therefore only be machining in eigenfrequency every sixth cut. Vibration data created by the employer also indicate that vibrations are low during the machining step. Verification of the FEM-models is conducted through physical experiments with impact hammer testing. The test is carried out on a freely hinged crankshaft and compared to the FEM-results for a constraint-free crankshaft. The difference in eigenfrequency between the impact hammer test and the FEM-analysis is a maximum of 5 %, which demonstrates the reliability of the model. Furthermore a simplified model of the cutting tool is made and analyzed for eigenfrequencies in Abaqus. The eigenfrequencies are shown to be higher than the highest possible cutting frequency which confirms that the cutting tool is not machining in its own eigenfrequency. FEM is a useful method for determining eigenfrequencies and thereby avoiding machining vibrations caused by resonance. However, due to the variable teeth spacing the cutting frequency is constantly changing for the operation, which indicates that the vibrations are not caused by the resonance phenomena.
