476 Liu, FengCreation of "quantum platelets" via strain-controlled self-organization at stepsWe demonstrate, by both theory and experiment, the strain-induced self-organized formation of "quantum platelets," monolayer-thick islands of finite dimensions. They form at the early stage of heteroepitaxial growth on a substrate with regularly spaced steps, and align along the steps. In the direc...Quantum platelets; Strain-controlled self-organization; Monolayer-thick islands; Heteroepitaxial growth2000-12
477 Liu, FengCritical epinucleation on reconstructured surfaces and first-principle calculation of homonucleation on Si(100)We introduce the concept of ‘‘critical epinucleation'' to distinguish nucleation on surfaces with and without reconstruction. On a reconstructed surface, the critical classical nucleus is stable against dissociation, but may not yet break the underlying surface reconstruction. Consequently, ther...Critical epinucleation; First-principle calculation; Homonucleation; Si(100); Islands2005-09
478 Brunvand, Erik L.Critical hazard free test generation for asynchronous circuitsWe describe a technique to generate critical hazard-free tests for self-timed control circuits build using a macromodule library, in a partial scan based DFT environment. We propose a 6 valued algebra to generate these tests which are guaranteed to be critical hazard free under an unbounded delay m...1997

482 Gesteland, Raymond F.; Krapcho, Karen J.; Talbot, Phil; Thulin, CraigCrystallization of the MS2 translational repressor alone and complexed to bromouridineThe coat protein from the MS2 bacteriophage plays a dual role by encapsidating viral RNA and also by binding RNA as a translational repressor. In order to study the isolated dimer in a conformation not influenced by capsid interactions, a mutant molecule was crystallized that is defective in capsid ...Crystallization; RNA Bacteriophage; RNA Hairpin; Translational Repressor1995

486 Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T.Curvature-based transfer functions for direct volume rendering: methods and applicationsDirect volume rendering of scalar fields uses a transfer function to map locally measured data properties to opacities and colors. The domain of the transfer function is typically the one-dimensional space of scalar data values. This paper advances the use of curvature information in multi-dimensio...2003
487 Whitaker, Ross T.Curve boxplot: Generalization of boxplot for ensembles of curvesIn simulation science, computational scientists often study the behavior of their simulations by repeated solutions with variations in parameters and/or boundary values or initial conditions. Through such simulation ensembles, one can try to understand or quantify the variability or uncertainty in a...2014-01-01
