Outlier detection in UV/Vis spectrophotometric data

UV/Vis spectrophotometers have been used to monitor water quality since the early 2000s. Calibration of these devices requires sampling campaigns to elaborate relations between recorded spectra and measured concentrations. In order to build robust calibration data sets, several spectra must be recorded per sample. This study compares two...

The effect of overlapping passive zones in sand investigated by a geotechnical centrifuge model

This thesis presents an investigation on the effect of overlapping passive zones in sand. The hypothesis of larger stresses in the soil and a larger ultimate resistance capacity in case of overlapping passive zones was firstly investigated in the numerical study by Joosse (2015). He introduced an intensification factor as a design optimization...

Fully Integrated Discrete-Time Superheterodyne Receiver in Nano-Scale CMOS

In a radio-frequency (RF) system-on-chip (SoC), a digital baseband/application processor, which occupies most of the silicon area, determines the SoC fabrication process technology and voltage supply. The rest of the circuitry, including RF front-end and frequency synthesizer, must then adopt the chosen process technology, i.e., presently low...
