479 Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T.Cramer-Rao bounds for nonparametric surface reconstruction from range dataThe Cramer-Rao error bound provides a fundamental limit on the expected performance of a statistical estimator. The error bound depends on the general properties of the system, but not on the specific properties of the estimator or the solution. The Cramer-Rao error bound has been applied to scal...Cramer-Rao bounds; Error bounds; 3D reconstruction2003-04-18
480 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
481 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
482 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
