CMOS Circuits and Devices beyond 100 GHz by Babak Heydari Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of California, Berkeley Professor Ali M. Niknejad, Chair Mm-wave CMOS circuits are expected to enter the consumer market in the next few years and become a part of most mobile devices offering a drastic increase in the data transfer speed compared...

Strategic decision making in Global Production Networks (GPNs) is quite challenging, especially due to the unavailability of precise quantitative knowledge, variety of relevant risk factors that need to be considered and the interdependencies that can exist between multiple partners across the globe. In this paper, a risk evaluation method for GPNs based on a novel Fuzzy Dynamic Inoperability I...

Analysis, Simulation, and Applications of Passive Devices on Conductive Substrates by Ali M. Niknejad Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering–Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of California at Berkeley Professor Robert G. Meyer, Chair The wireless communication revolution has spawned a revival of interest in the design and optimization of radio transceivers. Passive elements su...

there are many methods for weed management one of them is putting allelopathic and cover crop in weed management programs. in order to study the effect of sowing time (delayed sowing, synchronic sowing) and wheat cultivars (shiraz, roshan, tabasi, niknejad) on allelopathic interaction of wheat and weed species (secale cereale l., avena ludoviciana l.: monocotyledon, convolvulus arvensis l. and ...

BACKGROUND Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases that is now widely spread around the world, and day by day the number of patients is increasing. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of educational intervention on physical activity, nutrition and laboratory parameters in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS This semi-experimental study was performed from March to O...
