This thesis focuses on the design of on-chip communication networks and methods for benchmarking them. Network-on-Chip (NoC) paradigm seeks to achieve greater design productivity and performance in large integrated circuits. ...

The main objective of this research is to study how game design aspects can be integrated with relevant learning theories in educational games in order to develop games that are both engaging and educative. The design-science ...

The System-on-Chip (SoC) circuits contain already today a large number of processors and other blocks, which sets several hard requirements to their communication infrastructures implemented with Networks-On-Chip (NOC). ...

This research focusses on the part of the building envelope that forms the interface between the indoor environment and the subsoil. The attempts to control indoor air conditions and the interaction between the interior ...

The unifying theme of this research work is functional composition. We study operations on a nonempty set A, an important particular case being that of Boolean functions when A = {0, 1}. A class of operations is a subset ...

Optically-pumped semiconductor disk lasers are light sources that combine traditional solid state disk laser architecture with gain material made of semiconductor nano-layers. The laser design offers an attractive oppportunity ...

In this work, we study the second-order nonlinear optical properties of regular arrays of L-shaped gold nanoparticles supported by a substrate. The second-order responses of the samples are shown to depend sensitively on ...

There are many framing systems for buildings. This thesis considers one particularly popular system for office buildings in the Nordic countries. The frame consists of welded steel box beams (WQ-beams) and composite square ...

Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin yli kymmenen vuoden seurantana kulttuuristen arvojen ja taloudellisen tuloksellisuuden kehitystä talotekniikka-alaa edustavan yrityksen neljässä alueyksikössä. Tutkimusongelmaa lähestyttiin ...

In this thesis we consider the output regulation problem consisting of choosing a controller to asymptotically steer the output of a linear infinite-dimensional system to a given reference signal despite external disturbances. ...
