▼ Peripheral devices are hardware components that are connected to a computer and they supplement the functionality of a computer. Over the years, a huge improvement has been observed both in variety and capabilities of peripheral devices. Starting from the input/output and storage devices of early days, today's peripheral devices support all aspects of a computer, with peripherals like Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) even supplementing the computational capabilities of a processor. At the same time, the support for peripheral devices in computers has vastly improved. While the earlier computers only supported static configuration of devices, the plug-and-play capabilities in present day computers allow devices to be added or removed at run time, thus reducing the complexity of managing peripheral devices. Today, it is not an exaggeration to state that, beyond the computational capability of a computer, it is the peripheral devices that define the user experience. With the advancements in networking and distributed computing, the definition of what constitutes a computer has been blurred: Mainframes and Supercomputing clusters support batch processing, where processors/cores are treated as resources, and number of processors/cores available for a specific computation can be requested on demand. With cloud computing, users access services hosted across the Internet. However, usage models for peripheral devices have not caught up accordingly. For the most part, Peripheral devices are still limited to the computers they are physical attached to. Device virtualization solutions exist that can extend the device protocols over the network, enabling users to access devices connected to a different computer. However, these device virtualization solutions still need direct access to both the computer that has the device plugged in (Device Server) and to the computer that intends to use the device (Device Client) and they do not support remote plug-and-play. So, there is a need for a device consolidation framework that supports new device usage models that are in line with the evolving models of computation. In this thesis, we propose a framework called "Distributed Device Bus", which extends the concept of a conventional peripheral bus to include in its scope, the ports of all the computers that are connected over a network. Like a peripheral bus, a Distributed Device Bus is also associated with a computer called Master node. A Distributed Device Bus supports dynamic addition/deletion of ports and each of these ports can physically belong to any computer in the network. Computers that contribute ports to a Distributed Device Bus are called Provider nodes. A device plugged into any port that is assigned to a Distributed Device Bus is immediately made accessible to applications on master node. This device consolidation framework treats devices as a resource and access to a device is configurable rather than being limited to the computer the device is physically attached to.

▼ Silicon technology has so far obeyed the downscaling trend predicted by Moore’s Law. However, as device dimensions and power supply downscale, transistors and node capacitors store less charge, making memory devices and logic gates more prone to noise fluctuations. Although much research has been conducted on various technology-dependent sources of noise relevant to today’s devices, less attention has been paid to the fundamental thermal and shot noise that may upset ultimately scaled transistors a decade from now. The reduced noise margins, as well as the 60 mV/decade subthreshold slope limit of field-effect transistors, threaten to bring power supply voltage scaling and hence the miniaturization of silicon technology to a halt shortly after 2020. In this dissertation, the thermal and shot noise aspects of device reliability are addressed by presenting a novel formalism, based on Markov queuing theory. The effect of these noise sources on the behavior of both existing fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) transistors and ultimately downscaled devices are considered both in the low-power subthreshold regime, where the noise obeys Poissonian statistics, and the more widely-used above-threshold regime, where more complex statistical distributions are required. The effects of various parameters such as the power supply and threshold voltage, threshold voltage variation, temperature and transistor size on device reliability are studied within the proposed formalism. Our approach permits the prediction of error rates for ultimately scaled transistors, whose characteristics can be estimated via nonequilibrium Green's function formalism. Further, in collaboration with Vanderbilt University, the error rate calculations are extended to the radiation-induced single event upsets and the first steps toward experimental validation of the proposed framework using low-power FD-SOI technology developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory are described. Finally, a class of alternative silicon technology-compatible devices aimed at overcoming the 60 mV/decade subthreshold limit is investigated based on germanium and silicon-germanium tunneling transistors. Simulations are used to validate a SiGe heteronanowire structure that combines high current drive with a sharper subthreshold swing in support of a current experimental collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory.

▼ The spread of mobile phones across the world is one 01" the most remarkable technology stories or the past decade. Buoyed by prepaid cards and inexpensive handsets, hundreds of millions of first-time telephone owners have made voice calls and text messages part of their daily lives. In Kenya the first quarter of201012011 report from CCK, the lour licensed operators had a combined subscriber base of 22 million mobile subscribers, a 9.5 per cent mobile subscriptions growth from 20.1 million in the last quarter to 22 million subscribers. This is the highest growth that has been recorded over the last three quarters (CCK 201 O).This growth is attributed to the continued reduction III the cost of mobile handsets as well as the low value of prepaid calling cards, Large chunk of mobile phone users are prepaid customer, according to CCK the prepaid subscribers whose proportion or total subscribers reached 99%, (CCK 2010). Yet the available options of toping up air time token is characterized with scratch card manufacturing costs, transportation costs, storage costs, control of distribution channels, Service management, distribution links and stratification of customer according to networks. Therefore the purpose of the study was to investigate the recharge options available for air time token with a view of developing a self service, electronic top up prototype with an intuitive interface that is simple easy and fast way of iopi ng up air time token. The research adopted Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSA DM) using Java Developrnen t Platform An electronic top model for prepaid customers with a user friendly interface has been developed. Air time tokens are credited to mobile devices upon payment through the interface of the electronic top up devices. The user receives a confirmation message of toping up the mobile device. The Prototype was tested and time taken was measured in relation to other top up options available, various graphs were plotted comparing time taken to load air time. The study showed that electronic top method developed was faster than other available options; therefore the technology can be adopted. The main contribution of the study is the integration of the selfservice prototype in the provision of air time through the use of electronic top up system as an approach towards solving problems inherent in the current available option of toping mobile phone.

▼ Orthopaedic device infections are an uncommon complication of surgery occurring in 1-3% of patients undergoing arthroplasty. The rate of infection is higher in patients undergoing tumour endoprosthesis insertion as limb salvage surgery for treatment of bone and soft tissue tumours, estimated at up to 20% of patients. These infections have distressing consequences for patients including prolonged hospitalisation, multiple operations and prolonged treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics. In addition, these infections are associated with significant healthcare costs, with US estimates predicting the cost of treating prosthetic joint infections in USA will exceed US$1.6 billion by 2020. The number of patients undergoing prosthetic joint surgery is increasing and, relative to the number of arthroplasties performed, the number of infections is also increasing. However, there is a paucity of literature examining prosthetic joint infections in Australian patients. In addition, the epidemiology and management of infections in tumour endoprosthesis infections has not been well described. This thesis has investigated the epidemiology, ecology, management approaches and costs of orthopaedic device infections in a cohort of Victorian patients. Specifically, the thesis examined three main cohorts; patients with arthroplasty infections managed at SVHM, patients with bone and soft tissue tumours undergoing tumour endoprosthesis insertion and patients with arthroplasty infections managed across 10 centres in Victoria, Australia. The organisms encountered and the management approaches differed from world-wide practices. In particular, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus was a major cause of infections in both the arthroplasty and tumour endoprosthesis populations. Importantly, this thesis has questioned the appropriateness of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis given the high rate of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus isolated in this cohort. This thesis demonstrated that complications involving the surgical wound were an important factor in the development of arthroplasty and tumour endoprosthesis infections. In addition, the risk factors for infection differed with the joint replaced; obesity was an independent predictor of infection in the hip arthroplasty patients, whereas the presence of a drain tube was protective against knee arthroplasty infections. The management approaches to infection in Victorian hospital differed to current literature. Debridement and retention of the prosthesis was the favoured treatment modality and entailed multiple arthrotomies and rifampicin combination therapy. This thesis examined the cost treating prosthetic joint infection with debridement and retention of the prosthesis demonstrating the cost of infection adds approximately $50,000 to the cost of primary arthroplasty. Finally this thesis examined the utility of multiplex PCR for the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infections. This thesis raised questions…

▼ [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Due to its operational simplicity and ease of fabrication, metal semiconductor metal thin film structures have been the focus of attention for many researchers, specifically in studies related to the development of optoelectronic devices. In this study, extensive three dimensional simulations and analysis of thin-film silicon structures have been carried out to observe and interpret the physics of charge transport in scaled down devices. The interpretation of the results is expected to provide an insight into the underlying physics of current conduction in a nano structured thin film devices, specifically under the illumination of 365 nm wavelength beam at 1.132 W/cm2 power. In the study, the thin film active layer thickness has been successively reduced from 190 nm to 15 nm, in order to study the mechanics of charge transport in constricted channel regions. In the initial analysis, a fully isolated nanostructure metal semiconductor metal photo-detectors on the substrate was simulated. This was followed by study of partial and non-isolated nanostructure devices. The current-voltage (I-V) relationship was investigated for each of the structure for different film thickness along with the photo-generation rate, conduction current density, and electric field. It was observed that the I-V characteristics of the scaled down structures depend greatly on the lateral and transverse electric field components in the channel, which eventually determines the carrier mobility. Thus the choice of the correct mobility parameters, specifically the physical models like parallel and perpendicular field dependent mobility, concentration dependent mobility and various scattering effect inherent in the mobility models needs special consideration as the device dimensions are scaled down. Results show that by reducing thin film layer, conduction current density also decreases. This is due to the influence of the transverse electric field, velocity saturation, and high lateral electric field near metal contact. This study also shows that simulation of semiconductor devices using TCAD tools is a powerful and cost effective method for the analysis of devices, which helps us understand the responses of device without incurring any fabrication costs.

▼ The microbial contamination of biomedical devices is a leading cause of hospital- acquired infection. A number of strategies aimed at developing device coatings that are refractory to microbial adhesion, colonisation and biofilm formation have been developed, but the problem remains. The incorporation of biocides into biomedical device surface coatings has shown promising results in preventing the establishment of infection. Current controversy over the possibility that extensive use of biocides could potentially lead to antimicrobial resistance has fuelled the search for new actives with good antimicrobial activity and low cytotoxicity, that maintain marked efficacy after prolonged use. This doctoral thesis aims to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of a novel peptide based on human apolipoprotein E receptor binding region (apoEdpL-W). The spectrum of antimicrobial activity and anti-biofilm efficacy of apoEdpL-W was compared to that of common biocides polyhexamethylene biguanide, triclosan, cetrimide and chlorhexidine. The potential to induce bacterial insusceptibility towards these agents after long-term sub-lethal level exposure was assessed. Initial examination against 18 test microorganisms, commonly associated with device infection, showed that apoEdpL-W displayed broad-range antimicrobial and anti-biofilm efficacy. ApoEdpL-W also maintained marked antibacterial activity after incorporation onto various biomaterial polymers, often used in device surface coatings. Alterations in bacterial susceptibility after prolonged exposure to apoEdpL-W, as well as to the other biocides, were often temporary and partially reverted once the bacteria had been grown in the absence of the antimicrobial agent. The adaption of Staphylococcus aureus to the presence of triclosan resulted in the formation of small colony variants (SVCs) with reduced triclosan susceptibility. Analysis of the physiological characteristics of the triclosan induced SCVs revealed the loss of virulence determinants and potentially reduced pathogenic capability, when compared to the parent strain. The biocompatibility index values of the test actives were determined by the parallel assessment of their antibacterial activity and in vitro cytotoxicity. ApoEdpL-W showed good antibacterial efficacy whilst remaining relatively less toxic to mammalian cells than triclosan or chlorhexidine. We studied the interactions of the test antimicrobials with a preformed phospholipid bilayer using the quartz crystal microbalance device and dual polarisation interferometry, to better understand potential mode of action. Analysis revealed that ApoEdpL-W and PHMB induced the highest level of bilayer disruption, of all the antimicrobials tested. These data suggest that apoEdpL-W demonstrates antibacterial activity; biocompatibility and long-term efficacy on a level that compares favourably to that of currently used biocides. The peptide demonstrates good antimicrobial efficacy when incorporated into a range of biomaterial polymers and shows the potential to be developed as an… Advisors/Committee Members: MCBAIN, ANDREW AJ, Dobson, Curtis, Mcbain, Andrew.

▼ Standard endovascular treatment of intracranial saccular aneurysms has been shown to be an effective treatment method, but it remains marked by aneurysm recanalization despite continued development of new device technologies. Polyurethane-based shape memory polymer (SMP) foams are advantageous biomaterials for endovascular embolization applications, however previously developed devices utilizing SMP foam for neurovascular embolization treatment were limited by required catheter sizes, insufficient flexibility and radiopacity, and inconsistent device stability within the aneurysm sac. Solvent-stimulated actuation of hydrophobic SMP foams using DMSO and EtOH was shown to be an effective alternative shape memory trigger to direct heating. Dramatic decreases in Tg were observed with exposure to water, DMSO, and EtOH. Rapid shape recovery and volume swelling were observed for SMP foams in high concentrations of both DMSO and EtOH, as well as in decreased concentrations of EtOH. A SMP foam-over-wire (FOW) neurovascular embolization device was evaluated using in vitro and in vivo saccular aneurysm models as an initial prototype design. In vivo porcine aneurysms were successfully occluded using FOW devices with theoretical volume occlusion values greater than reported values for predicate devices and rapid, stable thrombus formation. FOW devices were successful in treating sidewall aneurysm models, though the study suggested a need to improve the deliverability and radiopacity of the devices and to evaluate the occlusion effectiveness in more clinically relevant aneurysm geometries. A SMP foam-coated coil (FCC) embolization device was designed and demonstrated clinician-familiar deliverability and use combined with large packing density and scaffolding capability of porous SMP foam. Excellent cytocompatibility is a promising early result in showing biocompatibility. FCC devices exhibited smooth delivery, but difficult packing in both benchtop and rabbit elastase aneurysm models highlights the need to improving device stiffness. However, though packing in rabbit aneurysms was poor, the tissue response suggests a desired healing process and a promising indication that the more effectively packed FCC devices will prompt stable, long-term tissue healing. Overall, the device designed through this work demonstrates excellent potential for improving long-term clinical outcomes for patients with intracranial saccular aneurysms, whether ruptured or unruptured.

▼ Mobile phones, tablet computers, laptops, desktops, and large screen displays are increasingly available to individuals for information access, often simultaneously. Dominant content access protocols, such as HTTP/1.1, do not take advantage of this device multiplicity and support information access from single devices only. Changing devices means restarting an information session. Using devices in conjunction with each other poses several challenges, which include the presentation of content on devices with diverse form factors and propagation of the content changes across these devices. In this dissertation, I report on the design and implementation of MIDAS - architecture and a prototype system for multi-device presentations. I propose a framework, called 12C, for characterizing multi-device systems and evaluate MIDAS within this framework. MIDAS is designed as a middleware that can work with multiple client-server architectures, such as the Web and context-aware Trellis, a non-Web hypertext system. It presents information content simultaneously on devices with diverse characteristics without requiring sensor-enhanced environments. The system adapts content elements for optimal presentation on the target device while also striving to retain fidelity with the original form from a human perceptual perspective. MIDAS reconfigures its presentation in response to user actions, availability of devices, and environmental context, such as a user's location or the time of day. I conducted a pilot study that explored human perception of similarity when image attributes such as size and color depth are modified in the process of presenting images on different devices. The results indicated that users tend to prefer scaling of images to color-depth reduction but gray scaling of images is preferable to either modification. Not all images scale equally gracefully; those dominated by natural elements or manmade structures scale exceptionally well. Images that depict recognizable human faces or textual elements should be scaled only to an extent that these features retain their integrity. Attributes of the 12C framework describe aspects of multi-device systems that include infrastructure, presentation, interaction, interface, and security. Based on these criteria, MIDAS is a flexible infrastructure, which lends itself to several content distribution and interaction strategies by separating client- and server-side configuration.

▼ Data to understand the inventiveness and technology transfer process for medical devices in India is lacking and majority of medical devices are imported. The presence of a medical school in a university system is expected to enhance healthcare inventiveness. Universities with medical schools have 2.5 times more R&D expenditure and productivity than universities without medical schools. Therefore, the presence or absence of medical schools in universities serves as interesting samples for technology transfer analysis. This thesis focuses on medical device inventiveness and technology transfer office efficiencies of American universities. Three sample sets are used. The first is data from 1242 US universities, of which 734 had medical schools, and their Technology Transfer Office (TTO) productivity from years 1999-2008. The second consisted of 5693 medical device patents filed at USPTO by universities worldwide during years 1999-2008, including US universities. The third consisted of 32 cochlear implant university based patents from 7 primary patent classes in USPTO. Universities involved in medical device research (MDU) and universities not involved in medical device research (NMDU) are compared in our study to understand differences in their technology transfer activities. Initially, Social network analysis is used to understand the interrelatedness of technologies in university based research using patent classes. Degree, betweenness and closeness centrality of 32 cochlear implant patents (out of 345 overall filed patents in USPTO including corporate filings), showed the importance of universities’ R&D contribution to the overall evolution of cochlear implant technology. Dynamics in terms of emergence and disappearance of technologies (represented by US patent classes in years 1977 to 2012), are identified. Our study highlights that universities' research focus within medical device research is confined to few technology classes like surgery, drugs and body treating compositions for therapeutic purposes and image analysis. In these technology areas, universities share of patent holding is found to be more compared to other medical device technologies. Multivariate OLS and binary logistic regressions are used to understand university characteristics that influences amount of patenting by universities. Our study attempts to delineate and highlight university characteristics that may influence amount of patenting in general, i.e., across all technologies and specifically those university characteristics that may influence more patenting in medical device technologies. Our study establishes that university characteristic variables like age, public/private ownership and research productivity influences amount of patenting by universities in general, across all technologies. However, additional university characteristics like presence of medical school and expenditure on legal fees are found influencing amount of patenting in medical device technologies by universities. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used in our… Advisors/Committee Members: Ramachandran, Parthasarathy (advisor).

▼ Research on the pragmatic device like has primarily focused on like as a quotative. The overall distribution of like has received comparatively little attention. Particularly lacking are accounts which show how like may vary for a speaker in different situations or contexts. This study addresses this gap by testing the effects of speaker gender, addressee gender and familiarity on the frequency of like. This study is based on 24 20-minute dyadic conversations, 12 of which occurred between friends, and 12 between strangers. The dyads were split evenly between female-female, female-male and male-male pairings. The recordings were transcribed and coded according to a system based on Terraschke (2008). The data was then analysed using mixed effects logistic regression. The results for discourse marker like showed a significant interaction between familiarity and gender relation. When participants were friends with their addressee, they were more likely to use “quotative”, “subjective stance” and “hesitation” like if their addressee was of the same gender. In the unfamiliar data, both males and females were more likely to use quotative like and subjective stance like when speaking to a female addressee. “Discourse link” like was more likely to occur in the male-male dyads. “Cut-off” like was more likely to occur between friends, and females were more likely to use it when speaking to males. Audience design (Bell, 1984), social identity theory (see Meyerhoff, 1996) and observations on the communicative preferences of men and women (Coates, 2004) are used to account for these results. It is argued that because quotative like and discourse link like are used to structure discourse, or have a textual function, they are better explained by the communicative preferences of men and women. Subjective stance like and hesitation like are better accounted for using audience design and social identity theory because of their interactional function.

▼ The phenomenon of nonlocality, which can arise when entangled quantum systems are suitably measured, is perhaps one of the most puzzling features of quantum theory to the philosophical mind. It implies that these measurement statistics cannot be explained by hidden variables, as requested by Einstein, and it thus suggests that our universe may not be, in principle, a well-determined entity where the uncertainty we perceive in physical observations stems only from our lack of knowledge of the whole. Besides its philosophical impact, nonlocality is also a resource for information- theoretic tasks since it implies secrecy: If nonlocality limits the predictive power that any hidden variable (in the universe) can have about some observations, then it limits in particular the predictive power of a hidden variable held by an adversary in a cryptographic scenario. We investigate whether nonlocality alone can empower two parties to perform unconditionally secure communication in a feasible manner when only a provably minimal set of assumptions are made for such a task to be possible — independently of the validity of any physical theory (such as quantum theory). Nonlocality has also been of interest in the study of foundations of quantum theory and the principles that stand beyond its mathematical formalism. In an attempt to single out quantum theory within a broader set of theories, the study of nonlocality may help to point out intuitive principles that distinguish it from the rest. In theories where the limits by which quantum theory constrains the strength of nonlocality are surpassed, many “principles” on which an information theorist would rely on are shattered — one example is the hierarchy of communication complexity as the latter becomes completely trivial once a certain degree of nonlocality is overstepped. In order to study the structure of such super-quantum theories — beyond their aforementioned secrecy aspects — we investigate the phenomenon of distillation of nonlocality, the ability to distill stronger forms of nonlocality from weaker ones. By exploiting the inherent connection between nonlocality and secrecy, we provide a novel way of deriving bounds on nonlocality-distillation protocols through an ad versarial view to the problem.

L'explosion du trafic dans les réseaux mobiles d'aujourd'hui est l'une des préoccupations majeures des opérateurs mobiles. En effet, entre investir dans le développement de l’infrastructure pour supporter l’évolution des besoins des utilisateurs et faire face à la concurrence accrue des nouveaux acteurs du marché, l’enjeu est considérable. Dans ce contexte, les communications Device-to-Device (D2D) offrent aux opérateurs mobiles de nouvelles opportunités aussi bien financières que techniques, à travers les communications directes entre les appareils mobiles permettant de délester le réseau d'une partie du trafic. L'organisme de standardisation 3GPP a défini des évolutions de son architecture LTE/4G fonctionnelle pour supporter les communications D2D dans le cadre de Services de Proximité (ProSe). Cependant, les modèles économiques autour de ces nouveaux services sont encore flous et les solutions actuellement proposées par le 3GPP visent un déploiement à court terme d’un ensemble limité de services (ex : les services de sécurité publique). La première contribution proposée dans le cadre de cette thèse est une évolution de l'architecture ProSe vers une architecture cible distribuée dans laquelle les fonctions liées à ProSe sont mutualisées avec d'autres fonctions réseaux. La deuxième contribution porte sur l’intégration des services véhiculaires dans les réseaux mobiles en tant que services ProSe particuliers reposant sur les communications D2D. L'architecture CVS (Cellular Vehicular Services) est alors proposée comme solution pour un déploiement à grande échelle des services véhiculaires en s'appuyant sur une nouvelle évolution de l’architecture ProSe distribuée. Un algorithme de « clustering » ainsi que des procédures de communication en mode relais D2D sont utilisés dans la conception de la solution afin d’optimiser l'usage des ressources du réseau. Enfin, les performances de ces contributions sont évaluées à l'aide de modèles analytiques et de simulations afin de valider les approches et solutions proposées

The traffic explosion in today’s mobile networks is one of the major concerns of mobile operators. This explosion is mostly widening the gap between networks’ capacities and users’ growing needs in terms of bandwidth and QoS (Quality of Service), which directly impacts operators’ business profitability. In this context, Device-to-Device (D2D) communications offer mobile operators business and technical opportunities by allowing the network traffic offload with D2D direct communications between mobile devices. The recent standardization of D2D-based services as Proximity Services (ProSe) by the 3GPP provides already a set of enhancements to the current LTE/4G architecture to support these services. However, still in its infancy, the proposed solutions are envisioned for short-term market deployments and for a limited set of service categories (i.e public safety services). As a first contribution of this thesis, the proposed Distributed ProSe Architecture enhances the current ProSe architecture for a longer…

▼ Networks of nanomaterials sit at a confluence of desirable features for the fabrication of advanced electronic devices, including facile fabrication, high conducting element density, and novel electrical characteristics. The spatial conduction through carbon nanotube (CNT) and Ag-Ag₂S-Ag atomic switch networks was investigated to determine how better to implement them in novel sensing and computation device platforms. Selective gating of localized regions of CNT networks with varying densities was investigated. To achieve this, lithographically defined FET structures were developed that allowed gating of localised regions of the CNT FET network area. The CNT FET device sensitivity to gating of different regions of the CNT network was measured for devices with network densities close to the percolation threshold. A 10² increase in sensitivity to local gating for CNT FET devices with low network densities was observed compared with high-density CNT networks. Networks densities were all well below a density where metallic shorts could be present, so the trends observed were attributed to m-s junction dominated gating of the network. A better understanding of the dominant conduction in CNT network FETs at low network densities is important for tuning their properties for use as novel biosensing platforms or a tunable connectivity conducting film. A CNT network simulation was developed to test the effects of local gating on networks of bundled CNTs with varying densities. Up to 70,000 bundles on a 60 µm x 60 µm simulated network area were used to generate an electrical network of field sensitive elements where the gate field could be spatially modified to investigate the effect of local gating. Monte Carlo methods were used to simulate large numbers of random networks with m-s junctions as the dominant gate-dependent element. Networks with 13.5% metallic bundles were shown to exhibit trends in local gating similar to the experimental systems. Current density maps showed key conduction paths in low-density devices, which supports a model of m-s junction dominance to explain the local and global gate responses measured in experimental CNT FET systems. Prototype Ag-Ag₂S-Ag atomic switch networks (ASN) device were fabricated using spray-coated silver nanowires which were sulfurised using gas-phase sulfur after deposition. Electrical formation of memristive junctions and hysteretic switching curves were shown under swept voltage bias demonstrating memristive behaviour. ASN devices have been demonstrated to show critical dynamics and memristive characteristics due to the complex connection of atomic switches formed at Ag-Ag₂S-Ag junctions between wires. A fabrication and measurement protocol for ASN based neuromorphic devices on multi-electrode array (MEA) platforms was developed. The electrical measurement system was designed and deployed to facilitate time-resolved measurement across multiple channels simultaneously on those MEA platforms. Under DC bias, MEA-based ASN devices showed switching events with a power-law… Advisors/Committee Members: Plank, Natalie, Ruck, Ben.

▼ Substandard and falsified medicines that find their way into the pharmaceutical supply chain short circuit the efforts of health care systems around the world. On a global health scale, medicines that deliver inappropriate amounts of active ingredient(s) can lead to increased mortality and morbidity. Medicines with reduced active ingredients can encourage antimicrobial resistance and can increase the likelihood of transmission for communicable diseases. On an individual scale, this translates to time, money and lives lost to treatable diseases. My thesis research addresses this problem and has focused on the development of analytical tools for pharmaceutical screening in low resource settings, such as developing countries where the problem is most prevalent. My work pairs an inexpensive paper platform with both chemical and biological detection methods. Chemical test cards combine twelve different colorimetric tests arranged in lanes to produce unique “color bar codes” for several pharmaceuticals, including beta lactam antibiotics and anti-tuberculosis medications. Working with the United States Food and Drug Administration, I was able to use these test cards to identify a collection of counterfeit pharmaceuticals by recognizing deviations from authentic formulations. While the chemical test cards are rapid, sensitive, and specific with an assortment of pharmaceuticals, there remains a group of pharmaceuticals that do not produce a unique color bar code with the test cards. To complement the chemical tests, I have also developed a biological paper-based test card that incorporates engineered yeast, which have the ability to respond to compounds with high specificity. My work details the development, optimization and evaluation of this biologically based test that can identify the presence of doxycycline in pharmaceutical dosage forms. It is my hope that these analytical tools and others like them can be used in low resource settings to better define the problem of substandard and falsified medicines, to identify poor quality medicines before they reach patients, and to address global health problems where they exist.
