▼ Two novel pump/probe techniques have been developed for measuring the recombination lifetime in crystalline silicon wafers. The first technique, single-beam pump/probe, uses one laser as both pump and probe. The second technique, quasi-steady state free-carrier absorption, measures lifetime under quasi-steady state conditions. These techniques are supported by a general mathematical model that predicts the experimental signal accounting for the 3D charge-carrier transport and recombination within the semiconductor. The predictions of the model are validated experimentally, and quantitative agreement is found between the model and experimental results for both techniques. The recombination lifetime measured by these techniques is verified independently using a standard pump/probe method, and the results are in agreement with this work. Single-beam pump/probe is a first-time demonstration of a technique capable of measuring lifetime in silicon using a single laser beam. It dramatically simplifies traditional pump/probe measurements by completely eliminating the second laser beam. QSS-FCA is the first quasi-steady state technique that can be calibrated in situ without the requirement of a calibrated reference wafer. The calibration constant is the free-carrier absorption cross section of silicon, which is a material constant. QSS-FCA is able to measure this cross section to a higher precision than what has been reported in the literature. Precise measurement of this constant opens up the possibility of studying more fundamental physics of silicon using QSS-FCA.

▼ Quality electrical characterisation of photovoltaic silicon bricks after crystallization is of high importance as it can not only increase the productivity of the directional solidification but also permits selective cutting and specialised processing. In an industrial environment, the characterisation method can be considered ideal if it allows the non-destructive measurement (i) with high spatial resolution, (ii) at inline speed, (iii) with high bulk
lifetime sensitivity, and (iv) with reliable accuracy.For this purpose, this thesis explores the use of spectrally dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements in both imaging and full spectrum applications. The bulk
lifetime signature of the PL spectrum can be accessed most simply by measuring a ratio of two differently filtered PL images and then translated to bulk lifetimes using a transfer function modelled in this thesis. The experimental apparatus is based on the equipment commonly used for PL measurements of wafers only adapted for a longer excitation wavelength. However, for quantitative brick measurements, the spectral dependence of the apparatus is needed to be characterised precisely.This thesis presents PL intensity ratio detected bulk
lifetime images and discusses their accuracy. The technique is compared to existing brick measurement techniques with particular focus on the limitations. Light spreading in the silicon CCD was identified as a major cause of image blur and its strong effect on the quantitative analysis was effectively reduced by a proposed deconvolution procedure, whereby the light spreading is measured, mathematically described with a point spread function and then employed in an inverse Fourier transform. In addition, the image contrast in the vicinity of a grain boundary was electrically modelled in two dimensions and its effect on the PL intensity ratio analysis quantified.Additionally, this thesis experimentally verifies the analytical description of the PL emission of silicon bricks and employs various regression approaches to determine bulk lifetimes in an automated way using full spectral information.Overall, it is shown that quantitative bulk lifetimes can be determined via spectral photoluminescence analysis with a resolution of 160 µm and captured within seconds. At this point, good accuracy has been achieved and is only limited by the design and calibration of the experimental setup.

▼ Nanosilicon (nanocrystal and porous) research is gaining tremendous attention in recent
years due to the light emitting properties of the material. Improving efficiencies in radiative
recombination and light extraction of this material enhances potential applications as
microelectronic and optoelectronic devices with new operational capabilities. In this work
we investigate the influence of quantum confinement and excitation laser pump flux on
the optical parameters of silicon nanocrystal. Our work presents a new approach for the
photoluminescence mechanism of silicon nanocrystal by using phenomenological formulations
that explain the size and laser pump flux dependence of photoluminescence intensity,
radiative
lifetime and internal quantum efficiency. To investigate the mechanism of the
photoluminescence we perform computer simulation using fortran programming. These
results show that, miniaturizing the size and increasing laser pump flux strongly alters
photoluminescence intensity, radiative
lifetime and internal quantum efficiency of silicon
nanocrystal. Our results have in well agreement with many other theoretical and experimental
findings. Our model confirms photoluminescence emission intensity and internal
quantum efficiency enhance due to quantum confinement and we can tune the emission
spectral range across the visible by using proper sized silicon nanocrystal.

▼ Characterisation of crude oil properties in real-time by spectroscopic methods has
been a major challenge to the oil industry. While current methods can show the
presence of oil, a quantitative determination of oil physical and chemical properties
has yet to be found. Also the mechanisms of oil photophysics are far from being fully
understood. This thesis seeks to address these issues by two principle objectives.
First, the determination of fluorescence lifetimes for crude oils by the Frequency
Domain method and second, the analysis of the eff ects of dilution and temperature
on the photophysical properties of crude oils. As a primary objective, a Frequency Domain (FD) method was developed to measure the fluorescence lifetimes of a series of crude oils. Analysis of the average lifetimes was made based on how many decay terms and the type of tting model used. Correlations were made between the bulk chemical data for the oils and average lifetimes from distribution and discrete models. The FD method was then applied to the analysis of Hydrocarbon Fluid Inclusions (HCFI) where individual inclusions could be isolated and the average
lifetime determined for the included oils. Comparisons were made between the lifetimes for the bulk oils and HCFI. The second objective of the thesis was to examine the e ects of dilution and temperature on the photophysical behaviour of crude petroleum oils. Comparisons were made between lifetimes over the range of temperatures sampled and di fferences between dilute and neat average
lifetime values gave estimations of quenching eff ects.
Lifetimes were monitored over a range of temperatures and were found to follow a
simple Arrhenius-like behaviour. A modi ed Stern-Volmer quenching model could
be applied to the crude oil
lifetime data showing the presence of both static and
dynamic quenching and the calculated quenching rate constants have been found
to vary linearly with oil type. Neat and dilute oils also followed a reverse Eyring behaviour allowing calculation of activation enthalpy and entropy values. Although
the theory for the Arrhenius, Eyring and Stern-Volmer models is based on single fluorophore systems, they were found to apply for a complex system of multiple
emitting and interacting fluorophores. In the context of these simple models, the
average
lifetime calculated for crude oils represented an summation of the excited
state processes.

▼ The photoconductive decay (PCD) technique is a
commonly used to study bulk characteristics of semiconductor
materials. This is work takes forward the idea of using solid state
laser technology for studying the near-surface region of a
semiconductor or the interface region of a semiconductor -
dielectric interface. The choice of laser (wavelength) is material
dependent and the tool, built around a probe station, has the
ability to measure pre-patterned small geometry samples. A detailed
description of the experimental procedure is provided. The tool has
the ability to form reliable ohmic contact with dielectric of
thickness less than 50nm without the need for any additional
etching steps. The tool is then used to monitor silicon surface
change after an HF clean following which it is left to stand in the
ambient over time. The results are compared with a surface
sensitive contact angle tool. The near-surface PCD (ns-PCD)
technique is compared to conventional microwave PCD commonly used
to measure bulk lifetime of a semiconductor. The near-surface tool
shows a shorter lifetime value for the back surface than the
polished front surface of the sample, while microwave PCD gives the
same lifetime value for both surfaces. Thus the surface sensitivity
of the tool is established. Next thin dielectrics grown on
semiconductors are explored using the ns-PCD technique. The time
limitation for the diffusion/oxidation furnace to form high quality
silicon oxide on silicon is determined to be 8 minutes. This is
shown by observing the PCD lifetime that reflects the interface
quality of the oxide - silicon. Two different dielectrics in
alumina and tantalum oxide are grown on silicon and the PCD plots
are compared. The importance of laser choice is demonstrated by
taking measurements using 658nm and 980nm lasers. The former shows
a more defective interface in the case of tantalum oxide. A
different semiconductor material in gallium antimonide is
considered in another experiment. One sample is degreased using
acetone and IPA clean while the other sample is cleaned using HCl.
Alumina is grown on both samples using atomic layer deposition.
ns-PCD shows that HCl degrades the surface of GaSb. However forming
gas anneal shows an improvement in near surface lifetime implying
that HCl clean is needed to remove the uncontrolled GaO and SbO
formed under ambient. Lastly it is shown that ns-PCD can be used to
explore three dimensional fin structures. An ungated InGaAs quantum
well fin structure is grown for this purpose. Nine devices with
decreasing fin width are measured using ns-PCD. The quality of the
grown fins is reflected in the plots obtained.

▼ This paper reports on a defocus method with LIF for visualizing a flow in a small channel. The defocus method makes it possible to measure the 3D velocity field using one camera. This system has a mask with two or three pinholes just behind an objective lens of a microscopic system. The first approach, a simultaneous temperature measurement can be combined to the system by putting different optical filters on pin-holes. In order to realize the concept, a new functional particle was sintered with ruthenium and coumarin dyes. An emission intensity of ruthenium depends on the temperature, while that of coumarin is not affected by the temperature. The second approach, a simultaneous temperature measurement can be combined to the system by particle was sintered Europium. An emission lifetime of Europium depends on the temperature.<改行>There are quite new approaches by the present study. In the present report, the particle was sintered and the temperature effect on its optical property was investigated using a spectrometer and a camera.

▼ The fact that many banks today target students with concessional deals is no news. Students are a coveted group at the financial institutions, above all because they will most likely have a secure and well paid occupancy after they have finished their studies. This study will show the importance of banks attracting the students as customers and that the students will continue being customers even after having finalised their studies. It will also show that the banks market themselves towards the students as if students were a homogenous group as well as proving the benefits of calculating a student’s Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). The study is based on research articles within the subject, one interview with the CEO at one of the banks in Sweden and two surveys that were sent out to 10 000 people that are either part of a current student deal at a bank or has been. The result shows that the bank will increase its long-‐term profitability if it has more students in the customer base. Given that the students remain as customers of the bank after their studies are finished. The results also show the significance of dividing the group "students" based on chosen variables depending on the banks objective and CLV. From this it is concluded that it is less expensive reaching out to the academic meritorious customers in an early stage then to obtain these customers hindsight.
Att många banker riktar sig mot studenter med förmånliga erbjudanden är ingen nyhet. Studenter är en eftertraktad målgrupp hos de finansiella institutionerna, framför allt eftersom chansen är stor att studenter efter studierna kommer att få välbetalda jobb. Den här studien kommer att visa vikten av att banker attraherar studenter som bankkunder och att studenter fortsätter att vara bankkunder efter avslutade studier. Den kommer även visa att banker marknadsför sig mot alla studenter som en homogen målgrupp, samt fördelarna med att räkna ut en students Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). Underlaget till studien är forskningsartiklar och rapporter inom ämnet, en intervju med en VD för en svensk bank och två enkäter som skickats ut till 10 000 personer som antingen är med i ett studenterbjudande hos en bank eller har varit det. Resultaten visar att banker skulle öka sin långsiktiga lönsamhet om de hade fler studenter som bankkunder, förutsatt att de stannar kvar som kunder efter avslutade studier. Resultatet visar även betydelsen av att dela upp studenterna i mindre delsegment efter valda variabler beroende på bankens målsättning och CLV. Utifrån detta dras slutsatsen att det är mindre kostsamt att nå ut till de akademiskt meriterade kunderna i ett tidigt skede än att erhålla dessa kunder i efterhand.

▼ Recent theoretical and experimental work has shown that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a sub-nanometer, hydrogen passivated graphene-like system, can support a collective electron resonance, like a plasmon, with the addition or removal of at least a single electron. Here we more directly probe the plasmonic nature of these systems by taking excited state
lifetime measurements of three molecular plasmon systems: the anion states of anthanthrene, benzo[ghi]perylene, and perylene. These systems exhibit, at minimum, bi-exponential ultrafast decay dynamics, both on picosecond timescales (orders of magnitude faster than typical single electron molecular excitations). The two components of the decay are attributed to the molecular plasmon dephasing and the vibrational relaxation of the molecule. One candidate, benzo[ghi]perylene, also exhibits an incomplete ground state recovery, shown to be a long-term
lifetime, and attributed to lower excited state fluorescence. In total, this work explores the ultrafast dynamics of the molecular plasmon system and illuminates the distinction of molecular plasmons from single excitation systems, and emphasizes their similarity to other plasmonic materials, like metals and graphene.

▼ Today, against the backdrop of the demographic
pressures to delay the retirement of older workers, sociologists of
aging have begun exploring the impact of national labor market
institutions on individual workers’ experiences of aging. Using
semi-structured, life story interview data drawn from a sample of
52 male workers in the Tokyo area (born between 1940 and 1953),
this dissertation research has contributed to uncovering the ways
in which the institution of
lifetime employment – the most
foundational labor market institution of contemporary Japan – uses
age to control individuals’ perceptions and behaviors over the
course of their working lives. This dissertation research includes
data from pre-mandatory retirement older workers (n=29, aged 55-59)
and post-mandatory retirement older workers (n=23, aged 60-68).
Based on a social constructionist perspective, this dissertation
research has explored three areas of these workers’ experiences of
aging over the course of their working lives: (1) perceived
instances of being subjected to age discrimination; (2) changes to
their attitudes toward these age discrimination experiences; and
(3) changes to their self-concepts as workers. A series of thematic
data analyses of the interview data, drawn with a life course
approach and a grounded theory method, has generated two sets of
findings. First, the pre-mandatory retirement experiences of aging
of the interview participants (n=52) have contributed to uncovering
and describing a social process through which ‘older workers’ are
socially constructed within the institutional framework of
lifetime
employment. Second, the research has found that after mandatory
retirement, the post-mandatory retirement workers (n=23) rejected
the label of ‘older workers’ and critically viewed
lifetime
employment as a 'total institution' (Goffman 1961), essentially an
institution of social control, harmful to workers in their later
working lives. This dissertation research has contributed to the
literature by demonstrating that the
lifetime employment
institution in Japan serves as an intensive age-based social
control mechanism that has constructed and reproduced ‘older
workers’ in the country’s labor force. Based on the findings of
post-mandatory retirement experience of aging, this dissertation
research also suggests that the Japanese government should find
ways to mitigate the social exclusion, marginalization, and
stigmatization that workers experience in their post-mandatory
retirement working lives.

▼ Two exotic modes of collective excitations of
nuclei have been investigated in this work: the multiphonon
excitations in the vibrational nucleus,
102Pd and the phenomenon of chirality in the
133Ce nucleus. The vibrational yrast states
in
102Pd are described semiclassically as
quadrupole running (“tidal”) waves on the surface of the nucleus,
and the propagating tidal wave interpreted as a rotating condensate
of interacting, spin-aligned d bosons. The tidal wave concept has
been investigated experimentally by measuring lifetimes of levels
in the yrast band of the
102Pd nucleus using
the Doppler shift attenuation method (DSAM). The extracted reduced
transition probabilities, B(E2), for the yrast band display a
monotonic increase with spin, in agreement with the interpretation
based on rotation-induced condensation of aligned d-bosons, and the
observed constant B(E2)/J ratios imply that the gain in angular
momentum originates from the increase of the wave amplitude
(deformation). In the second investigation, two distinct sets of
chiral-doublet bands based on the three quasi-particle
configurations
π(1h
11/2)
2⊗ ν
(1h
11/2)
-1
(higher-energy, negative parity) and
π(1g
7/2)
-1(1h
11/2)
1
⊗ν(1h
11/2)
-1
(lower-energy, positive parity) were identified in the nucleus
133Ce. The properties of these bands were
observed to satisfy the established fingerprints of nuclear
chirality and were found to agree with results of calculations
based on a combination of the constrained triaxial relativistic
mean field (RMF) theory and the particle-rotor model. They
constitute a multiple chiral doublet (MχD), a phenomenon first
predicted by RMF calculations. This study has provided the first
experimental evidence for the existence of the MχD phenomenon, that
represents, in general, a confirmation of triaxial shape
coexistence.

▼ Artificial two-level quantum systems are widely investigated as the fundamental building blocks of future quantum computers. These quantum bits (qubits) can be realized in many solid state systems, including Josephson junction based devices, nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond, and electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots. Among these systems, Si is very promising since it can be isotopically purified to eliminate random fluctuating hyperfine fields from lattice nuclei, leading to ultra-long quantum coherence times. However, lower heterostructure quality, higher electron effective mass and valley degeneracy present many challenges in realizing high quality qubits in Si.
This thesis demonstrates consistent realization of robust single-electron silicon qubits with high yield. With optimized device designs and DC/RF measurement techniques developed at Petta lab in Princeton University, we have achieved versatile quantum control of a single electron, as well as sensitive read-out of its quantum state. By applying microwave radiation to the gate electrodes, we can probe the energy level structure of the system with 1 μeV resolution. We apply bursts of microwave radiation to extract the qubit
lifetime, T1. By experimentally tuning the qubit, we demonstrate a four order of magnitude variation of T1 with gate voltage. We show that our experimental results are consistent with a theory that takes into account phonon-mediated charge relaxation.

▼ As the trend in mainstream IC manufacturing continues
to move towards using very thin layers of silicon and very shallow
junctions, the near-surface electrical properties become more
important. Likewise, in the photovoltaic industry, thin layers of
amorphous silicon and shallow junction solar cells using single
crystal and multi-crystalline silicon are of significant interest.
For all of these applications, an effective method of in-line
monitoring of near-surface electrical properties is essential. The
near-surface properties of solar cell materials are of particular
interest, where there is a delicate balance between having the
surface textured sufficiently to minimize reflectivity, but not too
excessively as to dramatically reduce carrier lifetime. As solar
cell wafers are becoming thinner and bulk recombination lifetimes
improve, carrier diffusion lengths will begin to exceed the
thickness of the wafer. Hence, the back surface recombination
velocity, which directly affects cell efficiency, becomes a
critical factor. Difficulties in determining the impact of
near-surface effects on carrier transport properties of thin layer
semiconductors have been encountered with traditional methods of
electrical characterization. The goal of this research was to
investigate the near-surface electrical properties of semiconductor
materials, including multi-crystalline silicon used in the
photovoltaic industry, by a modified method of electrical
characterization based on the photoconductive decay (PCD) effect.
The project was completed in two phases. The first phase involved
verification of a photoconductive decay method with a newly
developed tool, in both a non-contact version and a physical
contact version, with respect to capability for characterizing a
shallow subsurface region of selected semiconductor materials. To
evaluate the capability of the tool, the longer recombination
lifetimes of single crystal wafers of indirect bandgap
semiconductors Si and Ge, and the relatively shorter recombination
lifetimes of single crystal direct bandgap semiconductors GaAs and
InP were verified. In an early stage of the study, the sensitivity
of the non-contact version of the tool in its current configuration
was found to be too low for characterizing low mobility materials.
Subsequently, a high sensitivity temporary contact version of the
tool was developed and utilized for a major part of the project.
The near-surface PCD measured response to surface treatments
(native oxide removal and growth of a passivation layer) performed
on prime single crystal Si wafers correlated with the electrical
property changes that are known to occur in response to change of
the chemical condition of the surface. The reduction in measured
minority carrier lifetime and mobility in response to minor
increase in surface roughness (~ 1 nm RMS) of Ge wafers, and the
increase in measured minority carrier lifetime of Si wafers in
response to increasing SiO2 thickness demonstrates that the
near-surface PCD method measures carrier transport properties in a
very…

▼ The boron-oxygen (BO) defect is ubiquitously present in p-type Czochralski material and is known to cause significant carrier induced degradation in commercial solar cells. Despite being well-known for years, the nature and behaviour of the defect are not yet completely understood. This thesis aims to shed new insights into the properties of the BO defect and the mechanisms underlying known processes that can be used to mitigate its effects.This thesis begins with a review of the known properties and behaviours of the BO defect, and a summary of the key gaps in knowledge. Statistical regression-based methods to characterise the recombination properties of the defect at room temperature and at elevated temperatures using injection-dependent
lifetime spectroscopy (IDLS) and temperature- and injection-dependent
lifetime spectroscopy (TIDLS) are presented and applied to independently confirm the trap level (EC – (0.41 ± 0.01) eV), the associated capture cross section ratio (11.5 ± 1.0) and the power exponent of temperature dependence of the capture cross sections (-2.3 ± 0.1) associated with the BO donor level in p-type Czochralski wafers. Empirical models to determine effective carrier
lifetime at elevated temperatures are also developed and applied to unambiguously determine the carrier dependence of the rate constants of degradation and annealing. These are then explicitly accounted for to obtain improved estimates of the associated activation energies and characteristic frequencies based on fits to datasets in this and other works in the literature.Also investigated in this thesis are various proposed mechanisms underlying permanent deactivation of the BO defect via rapid thermal annealing and via regeneration (illuminated annealing). It is concluded that the two effects occur independently and are likely unrelated. Thermal deactivation is explained as defect dissociation into precursors, whereas regeneration is concluded to be hydrogen passivation of the fully formed defect. Finally, the new insights gained into the nature of the BO defect and the configurational changes that occur during defect state transitions are discussed in the context of existing literature.

▼ This thesis considers nonparametric predictive inference for lifetime data that include right-censored observations. The assumption A((_m)) proposed by Hill in 1968 provides a partially specified predictive distribution for a future observation given past observations. But it does not allow right-censored data among the observations. Although Berliner and Hill in 1988 presented a related nonparametric method for dealing with right-censored data based on A((_n)), they replaced 'exact censoring information' (ECI) by 'partial censoring information' (PCI), enabling inference on the basis of A((_n)). We address if ECI can be used via a generalization of A((_n)).We solve this problem by presenting a new assumption 'right-censoring A((_n))' (rc- A((_n)), which generalizes A((_n)). The assumption rc- A((_n)) presents a partially specified predictive distribution for a future observation, given the past observations including right-censored data, and allows the use of ECI. Based on rc-A((_n)), we derive nonparametric predictive inferences (NPI) for a future observation, which can also be applied to a variety of predictive problems formulated in terms of the future observation. As applications of NPI, we discuss grouped data and comparison of two groups of lifetime data, which are problems occurring frequently in reliability and survival analysis.

Polyethylene (PE) pipes, are used for water
delivery, are susceptible to oxidation. As a result of oxidation PE
becomes brittle and brittle pipes/tubes crack under the influence
of tensile loads. These cracks initially propagate slowly and later
on grow quickly becoming unstable. The focus of this study is slow
crack growth in high density polyethylene (HDPE). Crack propagation
experiments were conducted to determine the dependence of crack
growth on degradation and stress levels. HDPE samples, with 0.3mm
thickness, were exposed to 80°C chlorinated water (5-8 ppm) for up
to 65 days. Thin samples were selected to ensure uniform
degradation through the thickness. Although the brittleness of the
polymer can be evaluated using strain-at-failure, the drawback of
this method is that it destroys the sample. The Carbonyl Index (CI)
obtained by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was
established as a nondestructive measure of the degradation level.
CI ranged from 35 to 93. A higher value of carbonyl index
represents a greater extent of degradation. The relationship
between CI and loss of mechanical performance was validated by
strain-at-failure. Crack propagation tests were conducted were
conducted on degraded polymer samples at constant load. The load
(stress level) ranged from 5.1 to 9.2 MPa. In all 5 samples were
tested. It was found that the crack propagation rate ranged from
6.31 x 10-10 to 1.26 x 10-2 m/s while the stress intensity factor
ranged from 0.91 to 4.07 MPa√m. For a single degradation
level, regardless of stress, the data when converted to log scale,
and fit with the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM)
relationship = CKn. As the degradation increased the crack
propagation rate increased such that all data were fit by the
relationship = C(CI)Kn such that the exponential parameter ‘n’ was
a constant for all the samples regardless of the level of
degradation. The LEFM model fit to the data was best for moderate
and high levels of degradation corresponding to CI of 55 and 90.
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images show minimal deformation
in the region around the crack tip, and ductile fibril stretching
in the process zone. While the polymer had become brittle upon
oxidation, there is local ductility in the process zone. An LEFM
approach is typically applied to brittle materials, while the SEM
results show that crack propagation is a combination of brittle and
ductile behavior. Future studies should consider other modeling
approaches that allow for ductile behavior in the process
zone.

▼ Vulnerable plaque is a clinically silent condition of atherosclerotic plaque that leaves a large number of patients at risk of a coronary event. A method to detect vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque would greatly enhance the ability of clinicians to diagnose and treat patients at risk. Fluorescence
lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) offers a way to extract both spatial and biochemical information from plaque by taking several wide-field images over time. The goal of this study was to determine the potential of a FLIM angioscopy system to detect and differentiate coronary atherosclerotic plaques ex-vivo into several groups including thin, fibrotic, lipid-laden, thick-cap fibroatheroma (FA), and fibrocalcified.
Samples were extracted post-mortem weekly and sliced open to have their lumens imaged. For each sample, 51 time resolved wide-field images were taken over 10 nanoseconds at 390 (?40) nm, 450 (?40) nm, and 550 (?88) nm wavelengths. To analyze the samples, the intensity map and
lifetime map were created at each wavelength. The intensity map was simply the wide-field images summed in time and normalized. In order to calculate
lifetime at each point, a fast, model-free Laguerre deconvolution algorithm was recently developed for FLIM data analysis and was used. This allowed for fast, efficient estimations of the fluorescence decay curves at each pixel of the FLIM images and facilitated the computation of quantitative parameters describing the fluorescence emission of the tissue, specifically, the relative fluorescence intensity and
lifetime at defined emission bands.
Statistical analysis on these FLIM derived parameters indicated that the autofluorescence emission of the plaques allows for distinguishing relative plaque thickness: thin plaque, whose signal is dominated by elastin fluorophores, shows a marked difference between thicker plaques, such as fibrotic, fibrocalcified and thick-cap FA (who are dominated primarily by collagen). However, the ability of the current FLIM system to differentiate vulnerable plaque remains in question due to the absence of thin-cap FA samples. Further work has also been proposed; of primary concern is gathering thin-cap FA plaque samples needed to validate the system?s ability to differentiate vulnerable plaques from other common groupings.

▼ Despite offering high specificity and speed compared to other methods, the dependency of the response of an enzymatic sensor on ambient oxygen concentrations. To investigate this issue, a reaction-diffusion model was developed using the finite element method. Due to the growing population of people with diabetes, glucose was chosen as a model analyte. This glucose sensor model was used to examine the oxygen dependency and the resulting inaccuracy of glucose predictions. To improve the accuracy of glucose predictions, an oxygen compensation method was developed which utilizes a variable calibration curve where the fit parameters are dependent on the ambient oxygen concentration. This allows a unique calibration curve to be obtained for every oxygen concentration. Glucose predictions made with this compensation technique were found to be within clinically acceptable regions more than 95% of the time whereas predictions made without compensation were clinically acceptable less than 50% of the time.
In order to apply this compensation technique for real-time analysis, ambient oxygen concentrations must be measured in parallel with the response of the glucose sensor. Despite the growing need for multi-analyte sensors such as this, a suitable method for monitoring multiple responses in vivo has yet to be developed. Due to the measurement flexibility provided by luminescence, a time-domain luminescence
lifetime measurement system was developed. The Dynamic Rapid
Lifetime Determination (DRLD) approach utilizes a dynamic windowing algorithm to select the optimal window width for calculation of lifetimes using an integrative approach. This method was demonstrated with an oxygen-sensitive luminophore and shown to accurately determine
lifetime values six orders of magnitude faster than traditional methods.
This method was then extended to simultaneous measurement of the lifetimes from two luminophores (Dual DRLD or DDRLD) for multi-analyte applications. The ability of DDRLD to calculate lifetimes was demonstrated using temperature and oxygen sensing films. Similar to oxygen compensation of glucose sensors, a temperature compensation method was investigated for oxygen sensors. Lifetimes of the temperature sensing films for dual films measurements made using DDRLD were not significantly different than individual film measurements using DRLD. Oxygen responses for dual films followed the same trend as individual film measurements and displayed a minimal difference on average (2%). Real-time, dynamic temperature and oxygen predictions were demonstrated using DDRLD in conjunction with temperature compensation of the oxygen sensing film response.

▼ Accurate input information is the cornerstone of sound managerial decision making. Assessing the future
lifetime value of customers is a key component in making accurate managerial decisions such as how to apply scarce organisation resources on retention or acquisition activities (Blattberg and Deighton, 1996). Additionally, accurate customer
lifetime value (CLV) calculation can be used for effective segmentation of customers. Berger and Nasr (1998) recognised the need for an improved approach to customer
lifetime valuation calculation. The model proposed by Berger and Nasr (1998) differed from historical approaches, such as the Recency, Frequency, and Monetary (RFM) method, by predicting the future state of existing customers and discounting the projected cash flow over time. Whilst the RFM model was popular as noted by Reinartz and Kumar, (2000), it was limited in accurately calculating the future value of a group of customers and was applied in segmentation classification. Berger and Nasr's (1998) model found favour in literature where subsequent contributions followed in areas; Managerial application of the model findings, alternative approaches to calculating the model inputs, and introducing alternative variables or techniques in the CLV calculation model itself. The literature confirmed Berger and Nasr's (1998) approach as suitable for examination in this study however also revealed a general lack of empirical validation for Berger and Nasr's (1998). A review of literature detailed several extensions to the theory and modelling literature on CLV and several propositions relating to this area of theory development. These were contributions mostly conceptual by nature and few supported their concepts with empirical validation. This empirical study provides an important contribution by examining the predictive accuracy of Berger and Nasr's (1998) CLV calculation model. The purpose of this research was to compare Berger and Nasr's (1998) CLV model's prediction of customer
lifetime value against the actual value data over a specific period for a set cohort of residential segment consumers from a leading New Zealand energy retailer. This study goes further to examine the sensitivity of the model's calculation output to a change in input variables. The findings of this research challenge the predictive accuracy of Berger and Nasr's (1998) CLV model. The model was applied using both large (total cohort) and small (segments) customer groups to understand how what level of accuracy can be achieved in different contexts. The study identified a number of limitations such as the use of a constant retention rate, and not adequately accommodating the level of customer heterogeneity. The sensitivity of the model to change in the input variables supported Gupta, Lehmann and Stuart's (2004) research showing the retention variable was the critical input as it was the most influential on the model calculation. The marketing and discount rate variables had little to no influence on the model calculation outcome. Several…

U ovoj tezi smo ispitivali strukturu jezgara u
okolini 68Ni kao i proizvodnju, razdvajanje i identifikaciju
izotopa bogatih protonima koji se nalaze u okolini dvostruko
magičnog jezgra 100Sn. U prvom delu smo diskutovali evoluciju
kolektivnosti i sadejstvo između kolektivnih i
pojedinačno-čestičnih stepeni slobode u jezgrima oko 68Ni. U
GANIL-u smo merili vremena života u izotopima Zn u okolini N = 40
proizvedenih u duboko neelastičnim sudarima 238U + 70Zn. Koristili
smo uređaj "plunger" i metod " recoil-distance Dopplershift".
Jezgra od interesa su identifikovana korišćenjem VAMOS
spektrometra, a gama zraci su identifikovani EXOGAM detektorom. Iz
merenog vremena života je izvedena redukovana verovatnoća
elektromagnetskih prelaza. Nekoliko tranzicija i vremena života su
merene i objavljene po prvi put. Proračuni modela ljuske su
korišćeni za analizu i diskusiju eksperimentalnih rezultata. U
drugom delu, analizirano je i diskutovano delimično održanje
"seniority" kvantnog broja u g9/2 ljusci i njegov uticaj na
transfer jedne čestice u istoj ljusci. Treći deo obuhvata analizu
test experimenta sprovedenog u institutu RIKEN (Japan). Cilj je bio
da se ispitaju i procene dve konfiguracije BigRIPS separatora kako
bi se optimizovala proizvodnja i selekcija 100Sn. Ova studija je
potom korišćena da se podese parametri našeg narednog eksperimenta,
koji je bio posvećen merenju intenziteta Gamow-Teller prelaza u
raspadu 100Sn. Jezgra u okolini 100Sn su proizvedena fragmentacijom
snopa 124Xe energije 345 MeV/u na berilijumskoj meti. Efikasni
preseci proizvodnje jezgara u okolini 100Sn su mereni. Takođe,
potraga za novim izotopima i izomerima u svim identifikovanim
jezgrima je prikazana.

Predmet rada je procjena radnog vijeka elemenata i
sistema za prenos snage terertnih vozila od datog početnog stanja
pa do dostizanja definisanog graničnog stanja. Granična stanja se
određuju na osnovu tehničkih i ekonomskih kriterijuma. Granična
stanja po tehničkim kriterijumima nastaju kada dođe do pada
kvaliteta rada i funkcionalne sposobnosti sistema, što se dešava
pri pojavi odgovarajućeg nivoa pohabanosti, deformacije ili loma
elementa. Po ekonomskim kriterijumima granično stanje nastupa kada
dođe do pada ekonomske efektivnosti sistema ispod granice
isplativosti dalje eksploatacije. Uslovi rada i vrijednosti
opterećenja kao i konstrukcione karakteristike primjenjenih
materijala elemenata sistema za prenos snage teretnih vozila su
dominantno stohastičkog karaktera, pa se zbog nemogućnosti tačnog
proračuna vrši procjena njihovog radnog vijeka. U radu su prikazane
sistemske metode određivanja opterećenja i proračuna prenosnika
snage vozila. Procjena radnog vijeka elementa do loma usled zamora
materijala bazirana je na primjeni linearnih hipoteza o akumulaciji
oštećenja materijala. Prikazane su metode determinističkog i
vjerovatnosnog proračuna, odnosno procjene radnog vijeka elemenata
i sistema. Radni vijek elementa izražen u km pređenog puta dat je
kao odnos ukupne raspoložive radne sposobnosti elementa i njegove
potrebne radne sposobnosti po jednom km puta. Pored prethodno
prikazane procjene radnog vijeka elementa i sistema, koji polazi od
projektovanog stanja kao početnog, prikazana je i procjena
preostalog radnog vijeka elementa i sistema u odnosu na dato
izmijenjeno početno stanje. U tom cilju razmatra se promjena stanja
elemenata, prvenstveno kroz proces habanja elementa i formiranje
zazora u njihovim vezama. Prikazan je uticaj zazora na tehničke i
ekonomske pokazatelje od značaja za preostali radni vijek elemenata
i sistema za prenos snage vozila. Uticaj zazora na opterećenje
elemenata i sistema za prenos snage vozila razmatran je na
uprošćenom dvomasenom modelu i detaljnom modelu sistema: pogonski
motor-sistem za prenos snage-pogonski točak-vozilo-put
(PM-SPS-PT-V-P). Odgovarajući matematički i simulacioni modeli
verifikovani su u značajnoj mjeri eksperimentalnim ispitivanjem.
Eksperimentalnim putem ispitan je uticaj zazora na poluvratilu
jednog putničkog vozila na vrijednost momenta u prelaznom procesu i
ustaljenom režimu kretanja. U radu je prikazana i procjena
preostalog radnog vijeka sistema za prenos snage do dostizanja
graničnog stanja po ekonomskim kriterijumima. Prikazana je procjena
optimalnog radnog vijeka po kriterijumima minimuma specifičnih
troškova i maksimalne dobiti u eksploataciji vozila. Na osnovu
izloženih sadržaja izvedeni su odgovarajući zaključci koji pokazuju
naučni doprinos i upotrebni značaj rezultata. Na kraju rada ukazano
je na potrebu i pravce daljih istraživanja problematike koja je

▼ The banking industry in Kenya is very competitive with extensive customer base. Banks are under tremendous pressure to grow in various aspects such as profitability, customer base, asset base and others
This study was conducted within the Kenyan commercial banks and investigated value creation and operational performance in relation to the banks‟ profitability. The literature studies included herein are on value creation process and how it influences value perception, customer relationship and profitability, and lifetime value in relation to operational performance. The Regression analysis findings showed that as the implementation of value creation process increases the profitability of the bank reduced, also as banks enhance the strategy of customer lifetime value their profitability reduces. This shows that banks should not be discriminative in their value provision to customers. The study differs with other findings suggesting that banks need to know the value of each customer and treat them based on such values.

▼ Power saving for extending session
lifetime is an important research
subject in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Recognizing the fact that Quality of Service can be deteriorated by insufficient transmit power, this work studies how to minimize power consumption while achieve a satisfactory QoS of data streams in WSNs. A cross-layer routing scheme is proposed to maximize session
lifetime by adjusting individual transmit power on intermediate nodes. The thesis is divided into two major parts for analyzing our proposition. In the first part, we propose an efficient routing scheme with optimal power management and on-demand quality control for WSNs. When source node issues a QoS provision for route discovery, an adjustment of transmit power is computed for each pass-by node by taking into its individual wireless link account. Then, an optimal route associated with lowest power consumption and consistent QoS can be selected among all of the candidate routes. In the second part, by following the definition of QoS criterion in the first part, we further consider the problem of how to balance the needs on constraining end-to-end quality and prolonging
lifetime in an established route. The problem can be interpreted as a non-linear optimization paradigm, which is then shown to be a max-min composite formulation. To solve the problem, we propose two methods, (1) route-associated power management (RAPM), and (2) link-associated power management (LAPM). Considering computation-restricted sensor nodes, the RAPM scheme is two-fold simplification; not only it can reduce power computation, but it also quickly determines the longest
lifetime and proper transmit power for nodes. On the other hand, if computational cost is not a major concern in a sink node, the LAPM algorithm is more suitable than RAPM to solve the
lifetime maximization problem, in terms of accuracy. Finally, we analyze the performance of these two methods. The results demonstrate that the LAPM scheme is very comparable to a heuristic approach.

▼ Wireless sensor network has applications in environmental surveillance,
healthcare, and military operations. Because the energy of sensor nodes is
limited and nodes are unable to supply energy in real time, the purpose of
many researches is to prolong
lifetime of sensor network.
Lifetime is times
that the sink can collect data from all sensor nodes. When a user proposes
a query, then the sink gathers data from all sensor nodes.
The problem defined in the previous research is given a sensor network
and residual energy of each node, and the energy consumption of transmitting
a unit message between two nodes. Then this problem is to find a directed
tree that maximize minimum residual energy. In this thesis, we define a new
problem that given a sensor network and residual energy of each node, and the
energy consumption of transmitting a unit message between two nodes. Then
our problem is to find a path of each node, which maximize minimum residual
energy. We prove this problem is NP-complete. We propose a heuristic
algorithm and a similar heuristic algorithm for this problem.

▼ Photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanotip is low. To improve this condiction, ZnO nanotip growing on TiO2 film can form heterojunction which make life-time longer and enlarge the area to enhance the photocatalytic activity. This is due to the high reactivity of TiO2 and the large binding energy of ZnO, which improve the process of electron and hole transfer between the corresponding conduction and valence bands.
In conclusion, the heterostructure of ZnO nanotip/TiO2 film and ZnO nanotip/N-F co-doped TiO2 nanoparticle were prepared by aqueous solution deposition (ASD). TiO2 films are inexpensive, chemically stable and harmless, and have no absorption in the visible region. Therefore, N-F co-doped TiO2 nanoparticle is in order to adjust the titanium dioxide the light to absorb the boundary (optical absorption edge), hoping to enhance the absorption of photoenergy.
In this heterojunction configuration, several advantages can be obtained: (1) an improvement of charge separation (2) an increase in the
lifetime of the charge carrier (3) an enhancement of the interfacial charge transfer efficiency to adsorbed substrate. In our research, heterojunction of ASD-ZnO nanotip on ASD-TiO2 thin film or ASD-N-F co-doped TiO2 nanoparticle show higher photocatalytic activity.

▼ Amorphous selenium (a-Se) alloy x-ray detectors are currently used in commercial mammographic detectors for breast cancer detection and diagnosis. They have been only recently commercialized and there are now at least five companies manufacturing these detectors. This work focuses on the study of the X-ray induce effects on the carrier trapping
lifetime in a-Se, and the recovery process of the X-ray induced damage in the bulk of a-Se samples. The x-ray dose effect on the carrier trapping
lifetime was studied alongside the temperature effect on the induced x-ray damage and recovery process. The carrier trapping
lifetime reduces as the accumulated dose deposited in the a-Se samples increases. Upon the cessation of x-ray exposure, carrier
lifetime recovered slowly (over many hours) back to its original state. The damage was not permanent. Several a-Se detectors samples have been exposed to high doses of x-ray and the recovery process has been observed under different temperature, 23.5 °C and 35.5 °C. The time of flight (TOF) measurement technique was employed to measure the carrier drift mobility and the interrupted filed time of flight (IFTOF) technique was used to measure the carrier trapping
lifetime . All samples used in this project are pure a-Se for hole transport measurements, a-Se: 0.3%: 2.5ppm Cl and a-Se: 0.5%: 10ppm Cl for electron transport measurements. Sample thickness ranges from 50 μm to 200 μm with a variance of ±5 μm at different positions on the sample. The applied dose rate during the x-ray irradiation ranges from 1.9 Gy/s to 2.5 Gy/s. The difference in dose rate does not affect the change in the hole trapping
lifetime but has a non-significant effect on the electron trapping
lifetime. The rate of decrease in the hole normalized
lifetime is more rapid at 35.5 °C than at room temperature (23.5 °C). The recovery processes were also observed to be more rapid at the higher temperature.

▼ The purpose of this study is to investigate the surface carrier
lifetime of a texturized n-type (100) Si wafer after surface passivation. The surface texturization on the Si wafer using isopropanol-free alkaline solution was performed and compared with that of using conventional isopropanol alkaline etchant. Texturization conditions, such as concentration of etchant, etching temperature, and etching time were optimized to reduce optical reflection of the Si surface.
The surface passivation of the Si surface was first formed by growing a 1 nm thick SiOx used the supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) fluid with H2O2 additive. We varied the operation pressure and time of the SCCO2, together with H2O2 concentration to optimize the performance of the SiOx passivation layer. After growing the SiOx thin film, we deposited a 30 nm thick a-Si by VHF PECVD to further improve the defects cause by the silicon dangling bond on the Si surface.
The weighted reflectivity and surface coverage of pyramid of the textured Si substrates of better than 15% and 90% were achieved. On the other hand,
lifetime of the carriers was measured by a home-made photoconductance system. The effective carrier
lifetime (@1015 cm-3) of texturized silicon substrate with SiOx surface passivation was 6 µs. The carrier
lifetime was further increased to 26.9 µs when SiOx and a-Si double-layered passivation was used.

▼ A geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) is typically used to inject spacecraft into the geosta- tionary orbit. There are many inoperative launcher upper stages and other fragments or- biting in GTOs. These parts collide and disintegrate, becoming even smaller fragments and thereby worsening the problem of space debris. The objects could also collide with op- erational spacecraft. For this reason, a cost-effective method to de-orbit launcher upper stages from GTOs after their end-of-life is needed. Passive de-orbiting using orbital pertur- bations is one such method. A previous work performed at the University of Southampton proposed the use of luni-solar perturbations and secular effects of Earth’s gravity field for passive de-orbiting from highly elliptical orbits (HEOs). A particular type of perturbation not yet investigated in the study of perturbations-enhanced de-orbiting is the periodic ef- fects in the spherical harmonics of Earth’s gravity field model.
The thesis work is focused on studying the effect of the gravitational field of Earth (rep- resented by spherical harmonics) on the long-term evolution of upper stages. First, a reli- able and validated algorithm is needed to model the complete Earth’s spherical harmonics. For this purpose, different algorithms are discussed. It is found that Cunningham’s algo- rithm is more reliable for elliptical orbits, and also more computationally efficient, than Kaula’s algorithm. However, Kaula’s algorithm is more versatile and therefore codes based on Kaula’s algorithm were developed into different programs for different types of perturba- tions. These include the secular-only perturbations, zonal harmonics, tesseral harmonics, and averaged perturbations. Although Cunningham’s algorithm was chosen for mapping due to its efficiency, the implementations of Kaula’s algorithm provide an opportunity for future research on the propagation of orbital elements.
After the perturbation models had been validated, maps were created for the purpose of investigating the effects of orbital perturbations on de-orbiting. Starting with luni-solar (third-body) and J2 perturbations, the secular effects from higher-order zonal harmonics were added. This increase in the order of spherical harmonics had no significant impact on the results (the difference in perigee altitude between J2 and order 6 zonal harmonics with only secular effects is in the order of 0.5 km). On top of these perturbations, it was found that the addition of periodic effects (as opposed to having only secular effects in the Earth’s spherical harmonics model) made a small difference in the simulated perigee alti- tude. Here, the difference in the perigee altitude between the secular and periodic effects is in the order of 5 km). Not including the non-secular perturbations would lead to a more conservative prediction of
lifetime.
Solar radiation pressure and drag perturbations were later added to the maps. Increas- ing the area-to-mass ratio of the spacecraft would increase the impact of solar radiation pressure and drag on…

▼ The thesis develops a personalized, online calculator for the costs of owning and operating private vehicles. The online tool combines EPA certification test results, the Georgia vehicle value database, the USDOE fuel economy database, and other data sources to calculate the cent/mile cost of operating the vehicle. The calculator also provides users with complete data entry flexibility, allowing them to incorporate personally-tailored costs for vehicle insurance, parking, tolls, etc. The primary goal of this research is to provide students at any educational level a tool that helps the public better understand their vehicle ownership costs.
