551 Yang, HaoriDigital spectroscopy systems for high rate events in active interrogation applicationsAbstract- Two digital spectroscopy systems have been developed to handle high rate events in active interrogation applications. In the first system, signal from a PMT is directly digitized by a digitizer and then processed on a PC offline, using deconvolution method. By bypassing the preamplifier, ...2007
552 Scarpulla, MichaelDiluted II-VI oxide semiconductors with multiple band gapsWe report the realization of a new mult-band-gap semiconductor. Zn1-yMnyOxTe1-x alloys have been synthesized using the combination of oxygen ion implantation and pulsed laser melting. Incorporation of small quantities of isovalent oxygen leads to the formation of a narrow, oxygen-derived band of ...Highly mismatched alloys; Zinc telluride2003-12
553 Stoller, Leigh B.Direct deposit: a basic user-level protocol for carpet clusters?This note describes the Direct Deposit Protocol (DDP), a simple protocol for multicomputing on a carpet cluster. This protocol is an example of a user-level protocol to be layered on top of the low-level, sender-based protocols for the Protocol Processing Engine. The protocol will be described in te...Direct Deposit Protocol; DDP; Carpet clusters; Multicomputing; User-level protocol1995
554 Regehr, John; Pagariya, Rohit PannalaljiDirect equivalence testingTesting embedded software is difficult. • Further complicated by presence of memory and type safety errors in software. • Compiler contain various known bugs.

555 Horch, Kenneth W.; Dhillon, Gurpreet S.Direct neural sensory feedback and control of a prosthetic armEvidence indicates that user acceptance of modern artificial limbs by amputees would be significantly enhanced by a system that provides appropriate, graded, distally referred sensations of touch and joint movement, and that the functionality of limb prostheses would be improved by a more natural co...Peripheral Nerve Implant; Prosthetic Limb Control; Sensory Feedback2005-12
556 Shirley, Peter S.Direct Ray tracing of smoothed and displacement mapped trianglesWe present an algorithm for ray tracing displacement maps that requires no additional storage over the base model. Displacement maps are rarely used in ray tracing due to the cost associated with storing and intersecting the displaced geometry. This is unfortunate because displacement maps allow the...Ray tracing displacement maps2000
557 Mcpherson, Brian JamesDirect simulation of fluid-solid mechanics in porous media using the discrete element and lattice-Boltzmann methodsA detailed understanding of the coupling between fluid and solid mechanics is important for understanding many processes in Earth sciences. Numerical models are a popular means for exploring these processes, but most models do not adequately handle all aspects of this coupling. This paper presents ...2007
558 Myers, Chris J.Direct synthesis of timed asynchronous circuitsThis paper presents a new method to synthesize timed asynchronous circuits directly from the specification without generating a state graph. Our synthesis procedure begins with a deterministic signal transition graph specification to which timing constraints can be added. First, a timing analysis ex...1992
559 Myers, Chris J.Direct synthesis of timed asynchronous circuitsThis paper presents a new method to synthesize timed asynchronous circuits directly from the specification without generating a state graph. The synthesis procedure begins with a deterministic graph specification with timing constraints. A timing analysis extracts the timed concurrency and timed cau...1999

561 Riesenfeld, Richard F.Discrete B-splines and subdivision techniques in compter-aided geometric design and computer graphicsThe relevant theory of discrete 5-sphnes with associated new algorithms is extended to provide a framework for understanding and implementing general subdivision schemes for nonuniform B-splines. The new derived polygon corresponding to an arbitrary refinement of the knot vector for an existing .B-...1979
562 Sobh, Tarek M.Discrete event control for inspection and reverse engineeringWe address the problem of intelligent sensing in this work. In particular, we use discrete event dynamic systems (DEDS) to guide the sensing of mechanical parts for industrial inspection and reverse engineering.Discrete event control; Intelligent sensing; Inspection; Discrete event dynamic systems; DEDS1994
563 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Dislocations in GaAs17-xPxDislocations, their origins, and their effects on photoluminescence efficiency have been studied in GaAs1-xPx single crystals grown by vapor phase epitaxy. Dislocations were observed using etch pit, optical-transmission microscopy, and x-ray topography techniques. Two types of dislocations are grown...Photoluminescence efficiency; Growth mechanism; Optical transmission microscopy1969
564 Christensen, Douglas A.Dispersion effects in fiber optic interferometryAn extended analysis of the effects of uncompensated fiber dispersion on the fringe visibility of a fiber optic interferometer is developed, with particular emphasis on stellar interferometry. Both material and waveguide dispersion for single-mode, polarization-preserving fibers are considered. It...Stellar interferometry; Fiber optics; Statistical optics1997
565 Evans, DavidDisplay of complex three dimensional finite element modelsComplex three dimensional models can be displayed after an automatic generation of a finite element (panel) mapping. although this automatic generation algorithm fails at certain levels of model complexity, the elimination of these failures can be accomplished through user interaction. This report p...Three dimensional models; Finite element models1978
566 Peterson, John W.Distributed computation for computer animationComputer animation is a very computationally intensive task. Recent developments in image synthesis, such as shadows, reflections and motion blur enhance the quality of computer animation, but also dramatically increase the amount of CPU time needed to do it. Fortunately, the computations involved w...Distributed computation1987
567 Parker, Steven G.; Hansen, Charles D.Distributed interactive ray tracing for large volume visualizationWe have constructed a distributed parallel ray tracing system that interactively produces isosurface renderings from large data sets on a cluster of commodity PCs. The program was derived from the SCI Institute's interactive ray tracer (*-Ray), which utilizes small to large shared memory platforms, ...Ray tracing; Volume rendering; Large data; Cluster computing; Distributed shared memory2003
568 Thompson, William B.; Willemsen, Peter; Gooch, Amy A.; Creem-Regehr, Sarah HopeDoes the quality of the computer graphics matter when judging distances in visually immersive environments?In the real world, people are quite accurate judging distances to locations in the environment, at least for targets resting on the ground plane and distances out to about 20m. Distance judgments in visually immersive environments are much less accurate. Several studies have now shown that in vis...Visually immersive environments2002-12-05
569 Riloff, Ellen M.Domain-specific coreference resolution with lexicalized featuresMost coreference resolvers rely heavily on string matching, syntactic properties, and semantic attributes of words, but they lack the ability to make decisions based on individual words. In this paper, we explore the benefits of lexicalized features in the setting of domain-specific coreference reso...2014-01-01

571 Furse, Cynthia M.Down to the wireAs today's military and commercial aircraft age past their teen years, the many kilometers of wiring buried deep within their structures begin to crack and fray. Once thought to be rare and benign, such faults are found by the hundreds in a typical aircraft. Unlike obvious cracks in a wing or an e...Aging wiring; Wire fault location; Aging wire detection; Smart wire systems2001-01-01

574 Lepreau, JayDRAFT: work in progress - - - comments solicited evolving Mach 3.0 to use migrating threadsLike most operating systems, Mach 3.0 views threads as statically associated with a single task. An alternative model is that of migrating threads, in which a single thread abstraction moves between tasks with the logical flow of control, and "server" code is passively executed. We have compatibly r...DRAFT1993
575 Eckhoff, David W.Drought happens: get used to it! Will technology help us to survive?Drought is not the most popular subject in the world. Actually, as opposed to death, I think there are some bright spots in the drought mitigation future. I will review some of these in this lecture, but I'm also going to discuss some of the downsides of drought, because you can't have one without t...Wastewater reclamation; Tiered water rates2002-09-10
