This master thesis is divided in two parts. The first part of this work is the evaluation of Thermal Desorption tubes (TDTs) in order to improve breath analyses. To obtain comprehensive overview of the sample conditions, the most effective adsorbent has to be selected. In this study, six different sorbent tubes were evaluated using a well-defined standard mixture and exhaled breath analysis after coffee ingestion. The second part focus on the study of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) produced from oxidized epithelial cells. To better understand the metabolic pathway modifications during lung inflammation, an in-vitro model was developed using lung epithelial cell culture. In this work, the culture conditions (normal and oxidized) were established to make them compatible with VOC screening. Following that step, the analytical conditions were established. Finally, a processing workflow was set up to compare the different culture conditions.

This book covers the fundamental knowledge of layout design from the ground up, addressing both physical design, as generally applied to digital circuits, and analog layout. Such knowledge provides the critical awareness and insights a layout designer must possess to convert a structural description produced during circuit design into the physical layout used for IC/PCB fabrication. The book introduces the technological know-how to transform silicon into functional devices, to understand the technology for which a layout is targeted (Chap. 2). Using this core technology knowledge as the foundation, subsequent chapters delve deeper into specific constraints and aspects of physical design, such as interfaces, design rules and libraries (Chap. 3), design flows and models (Chap. 4), design steps (Chap. 5), analog design specifics (Chap. 6), and finally reliability measures (Chap. 7). Besides serving as a textbook for engineering students, this book is a foundational reference for today’s circuit designers. This is a welcome and very important new reference book for both students and practicing microelectronics design engineers. It fills a gap in pedagogy that has been growing over time, by building from foundations while spanning layers of system architecture and integration, as well as both analog and digital layout. Professor Andrew B. Kahng, University of California San Diego This book is an excellent introduction, covering where we are now, the key problems we currently face, and also providing a glimpse of what is to come. The authors are respected leaders in the field, with deep knowledge; they cover the material in a crisp and clear manner, making this text a great resource for anyone, from the new student to the seasoned expert. Associate Professor Patrick H. Madden, Binghamton University This book covers fundamentals of IC mask or layout design with a strong emphasis on the technological background, the practical design and verification steps, and the analog and reliability issues. I find the book worth reading. It equips students and junior engineers with comprehensive layout design knowledge. Professor Mark Po-Hung Lin, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan The combined expertise of the authors and the attention they have paid to theory and practice, big picture and detail, illustrative examples and written text, make this book the perfect go-to resource for students and engineers alike. Professor Laleh Behjat, University of Calgary.

Prepared by the Composite Construction Committee of the Metals Technical Administrative Committee of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCEComposite Special Moment Frames: Wide Flange Beam to Concrete-Filled Steel Column Connections provides a state-of-the-art overview for designing connections for composite special moment frames (C-SMFs). This book focuses on beam-to-column moment connections for both continuous beam and continuous column connections, and C-SMFs with rectangular or circular concrete-filled tube (CFT) columns. This book will enable engineers to design composite frames more efficiently.It providesAn experimental database of 165 tests conducted on beam-to-column connections for C-SMFs, including a summary of the behavior of these connections and an evaluation of these connections using current standard requirements;Design equations for estimating the panel zone shear strength of double split-tee (DST) and through-beam connections; Design examples for DST and through-beam connections; andFlow charts illustrating the design methodology for the connections.This book will be a valuable resource for structural engineers and members of academia.

This book discusses various aspects of cloud computing, in which trust and fault-tolerance models are included in a multilayered, cloud architecture. The authors present a variety of trust and fault models used in the cloud, comparing them based on their functionality and the layer in the cloud to which they respond. Various methods are discussed that can improve the performance of cloud architectures, in terms of trust and fault-tolerance, while providing better performance and quality of service to user. The discussion also includes new algorithms that overcome drawbacks of existing methods, using a performance matrix for each functionality. This book provide readers with an overview of cloud computing and how trust and faults in cloud datacenters affects the performance and quality of service assured to the users. Discusses fundamental issues related to trust and fault-tolerance in Cloud Computing; Describes trust and fault management techniques in multi layered cloud architecture to improve security, reliability and performance of the system; Includes methods to enhance power efficiency and network efficiency, using trust and fault based resource allocation.
