System security often focuses on the software, causing hardware security to be overlooked. Such oversight allows for attacks that can completely undermine the use of hardware as the root of trust. During the design of an integrated circuit, there are several opportunities for adversaries to make malicious modifications or insertions to a design. These attacks, known as hardware Trojans, can hav...

Multicrystalline silicon solar cells are an important renewable energy technology that have the potential to provide the world with much of its energy. While they are relatively inexpensive, their efficiency is limited by material defects, and in particular by dislocations. Reducing dislocation densities in multicrystalline silicon solar cells could greatly increase their efficiency while only ...

To better understand the topic of this colloquium, we have created a series of databases related to knowledge domains [dynamic systems (small world/Milgram), information visualization (Tufte), co-citation (Small), bibliographic coupling (Kessler), and scientometrics (Scientometrics)]. I have used a software package called HistCite which generates chronological maps of subject (topical) collecti...

Automatic payroll deductions represent one of the most effective means of increasing savings in developed countries. We design and experimentally evaluate a mobile phone-based automatic payroll deduction system in Afghanistan, a country with limited formal financial infrastructure. We find that employees initially assigned a default contribution rate of 5 percent are 40 percentage points more l...

In the early twentieth century, Russell pioneered the formal study of paradox in logic. Understanding the cause of the paradoxes, the proposed remedy was to avoid any circular logic or to treat any circular logic as invalid. Following this scholarly trend, the study of biblical paradox has been one of the most controversial and confusing areas in contemporary biblical scholarship for the latter...

ii DEDICATION First of all, I would like to thank Marvin for allowing me, back in January 2008, to work in his lab. This experience has enriched my undergraduate career by bringing textbook concepts to life. I am also grateful for the opportunity to have met and worked with such a great group of people. Thanks for this project go out to: Aimee Wessel, for her overall guidance and support (and c...

Mineralogical studies for the <~2 ~ fractions are presented for seventeen soil profiles and two surface horizon samples, which represent eight soil types and five geological regions in the state. There was no evidence of clay mineral formation in the upper 6 feet or more of soil. X-ray diffraction data from the Lufkin, Ruston anr Katy soils suggested some decomposition of montmorillonite and ka...

Influential clinical geneticist. He was born in Barnstaple, Devon, UK, on April 28, 1939, and died of a stroke Cardiff, Jan 23, 2021, aged 81 years. When Peter Harper returned to the UK 1971 after year USA, he did so with reinforced determination forge career medical genetics, then still its relative infancy. This decision should have prompted him look for work one few British universities wher...
