1 Henderson, Thomas C.Logical behaviorsIn this paper we describe an approach to high-level multisensor integration in t h e context of an autonomous mobile robot. Previous papers have described the development of t h e INRIA mobile robot subsystems: 1. sensor and actuator systems 2. distance and range analysis 3. feature extraction ...Multisensor integration; 3-D environment descriptions1989
2 Brinkman, Paul T.Instructional costs per student credit hour: differences by level of instructionThe variation of unit costs by level of instruction, on either a per-student or per-student-credit-hour basis, is a traditional issue in the economics and finance of higher education. Funding formulas, for either requesting or allocating funds, often include recognition of an institution's effort by...1989
3 Johnson, Bob L.Toward a synthesis of inquiry on environmental robustnessOur approach has emphasized the development of ideas over the systematic criticism of specific studies. Perhaps some may view these ideas as useful starting points for new inquiry. The least we might expect from such inquiry is a better understanding of why some students and teachers claim that scho...Education; Schools; Boredom; Robustness1989
4 Zhu, XiaohongAutomatic compensating cleanup operationToday's part geometries are becoming ever more complex and require more accurate tool path to manufacture. Machining process efficiency is also a major consideration for designers as well as manufacturing engineers. Although the current advanced CAD/CAM systems have greatly improved the efficiency ...Part geometries1989
5 McDaniel, SusanReconceptualizing the nuptiality/fertility relationship in Canada in a new ageFirst comes love; then comes marriage; along comes Joanie with a baby carriage. This straightforward temporal sequence so long taken for granted in North America may no longer be valid. With marriage rates declining, birth rates at an historic low, births occurring outside legal marriage, and dramat...Marriage; Family; Feminist1989
6 McDaniel, SusanWomen inventors in Canada: research and interventionWhat is an inventor or an invention? In this essay, we use the definition of the Canadian Patent Act, which considers a patentable invention to be a new or improved product or process or a new application of an existing product or process. An invention must be technically feasible - it must -"work" ...Patent; Inventions; Creativity1989
7 Warner, Homer R.Clustered Disease Findings: Aspects of Experts SystemsBiomedical Informatics1989
8 Christensen, Douglas A.Resonant inductive applicator for neck hyperthermiaWe have designed and phantom tested an inductive applicator especially suited for producing hyperthermia in cancerous regions in the neck. The applicator is tuned to resonate near 27 MHz; its inductive nature has the advantage of efficient coupling to the irregular neck anatomy. An inhomogeneou...Hyperthermia applicator; Phantom tests1989
9 Pershing, David W.Biomass combustion: relationship between pollutant formation and fuel compositionA 65-kW refractory-walled reactor was used to study biomass combustion under conditions typical of the suspension-burning phase in a spreader-stoker-fired boiler. Isothermal combustion data and nitric oxide (NO) emission rates were obtained as a function of temperature, local oxygen concentration, ...Combustion; Emissions; Energy; Environmental control; Fuels; Pyrolysis; Biomass fuel; Particulates1989
10 Miller, Jan D.Quantitative in-situ analysis of collector adsorption reactions by FTIR internal reflection spectroscopyResearchers in flotation chemistry have long sought to describe collector adsorption phenomena in greater detail including kinetics, orientation and interactions between adsorbed species. Now a quantitative description can be made in-situ using FTIR internal reflection spectroscopy. Details of the a...Fourier transform infrared spectrometers1989
11 Miller, Joel StevenStructural and magnetic characterization of a- and B-2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diyl Bis(2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-oxyl-3-pyrroline-3-carboxylate) and its thermal degradation productThe search for ferromagnetic organic compounds and polymers is the focus of contemporary research.1 - 5 Polymerization of di-iminoxyl diacetylene monomers has been suggested as a means to prepare a high spin potentially ferromagnetically coupled polymers3 and the thermal, photochemical, and glow di...Ferromagnetic; Magnetization; Polymers1989
12 Brunvand, Erik L.Translating concurrent programs into delay-insensitive circuitsPrograms written in a subset of occam are automatically translated into delay-insensitive circuits using syntax-directed techniques. The resulting circuits are improved using semantics-preserving circuit-to-circuit transformations. Since each step of the translation process can be proven correct, th...1989
13 Warner, Homer R.The HELP System Development ToolsBiomedical Informatics1989
14 Seeley, DonnPassword cracking: a game of witsA password cracking algorithm seems like a slow and bulky item to put in a worm, but the worm makes this work by being persistent and efficient. The worm is aided by some unfortunate statistics about typical password choices.Password cracking algorithm; Computer worms1989
15 Gu, JunStructured, technology independent VLSI designRapid advancement in new semiconductor technologies has created a need for the design of existing integrated circuits using these new technologies. These new technologies are required to provide improved performance, smaller feature sizes and lower costs. The conversion of an integrated circuit fro...VLSI design; semiconductor technologies1989
16 Warner, Homer R.ILIAD as a Patient Case Simulator to Teach Medical Problem SolvingBiomedical Informatics1989
17 Carter, Tony M.Path-programmable logicPath-Programmable Logic (PPL) is a structured IC design methodology under development at the University of Utah. PPL employs a sea-of-wires approach to design. In PPL, design is done entirely using cells for both functionality and interconnect. PPL cells may have modifiers that change either their ...Path-Programmable Logic; PPL1989
18 McDaniel, SusanLes femmes dans un Canada en voie de vieillissement: une approche féministeLe vieillessement de la population est un des thèmes majeurs de discussion en cette fin de XXe siècle, tous les pays développés étant engagés dans le processus. Certains redoutent l'insuffisance des ressources requises pour le bien-être des personnes âgées; d'autres considèrent le vieilli...1989
19 Mathews, V. JohnA baseband residual vector quantization algorithm for voiceband data signalsAbstract-In this paper, we present a new approach to the digitization and compression of a class of voiceband modem signals. Our approach, which we call baseband residual vector quantization (BRVQ), relies heavily upon the simple structure present in a modem signal. After the signal is converted to...1989
20 Horch, Kenneth W.Stability of chronic intrafascicular electrode recordingsWe have implanted intrafascicular electrodes in peripheral nerves of cats and have recorded neural activity from a small population of nerve fibers for as long as six months, suggesting that these electrodes can be used on a chronic basis to acquire information about limb position, muscle force and ...Intrafascicular electrodes; Electrode recordings1989
21 Miller, Jan D.Infrared spectroscopy for in-situ characterization of surface reactionsInfrared spectroscopy has been one of the most useful experimental techniques for the analysis of surface reactions in flotation systems, including surface alteration and surfactant adsorption reactions. With the advent of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, many low-energy throughpu...Reflection; Flotation; Measurements1989
22 Seeley, DonnA tour of the wormOn the evening of November 2, 1988, a self-replicating program was released upon the Internet 1. This program (a worm) invaded VAX and Sun-3 computers running versions of Berkeley UNIX, and used their sources to attack still more computers2. Within the space of hours this program had spread aacross ...Computer worm1989
23 Miller, Jan D.Selective flotation of fossil resin from Wasatch Plateau high-volatile bituminous coalCertain bituminous coals are known to contain appreciable quantities of natural fossil or subfossil resin. Such resinous coals are found in the western US, particularly the Wasatch Plateau coalfield of UT. Some of the seams in this field contain an average of 5% resin. This fossil resin has been r...Bituminous coal; Wasatch Plateau; Resin1989
