Lindstrom, Gary E. | A framework for module-based language processors | A system composed of interconnected modules is a module-based system. We present an object-oriented (0-0) framework for the development of processors for module-based systems, such as compilers for 0-0 languages, linkers/loaders, and tools for user/system libraries. We claim t h a t this framework,... | Language processors; Jigsaw; Module-based | 1993 |

Sobh, Tarek M. | Active inspection and reverse engineering | We propose a new design for inspection and reverse engineering environments. In particular, we investigate the use of discrete event dynamic systems (DEDS) to guide and control the active exploration and sensing of mechanical parts for industrial inspection and reverse engineering.

Mathews, V. John | Adaptive lattice bilinear filters | Abstract-This paper presents two fast least squares lattice algorithms for adaptive nonlinear filters equipped with bilinear system models. Bilinear models are attractive for adaptive filtering applications because they can approximate a large class of nonlinear systems adequately, and usually with... | 1993 | |

Mathews, V. John | Adaptive phase transform processors for time delay estimation | This paper introduces two recursive realizations of the phase transform (PHAT) processor for time-delay estimation (TDE), using a simple one-pole low-pass filter and the least-mean-square (LMS) adaptive filter, respectively. It is shown that these adaptive methods are capable of tracking time-varyin... | 1993 | |

Khoche, Ajay | An extended cell set of self-timed designs | The high level synthesis approach described in [1] uses hopCP[2] language for behavioral descriptions. The behavioral specifications are then translated into Hop Flow Graphs (HFGs). The actions in the graph are then refined such that refined actions can be directly mapped onto asynchronous circuit b... | Self-timed designs; hopCP; Hop Flow Graphs; Asynchronous circuit blocks; Action-blocks | 1993 |

Sobh, Tarek M. | Analysis of tolerance for manufacturing geometric objects from sense data | In this work we address the problem of manufacturing machine parts from sense data. Constructing geometric models for the objects from sense data is the intermediate step in a reverse engineering manufacturing system. Sensors are usually inaccurate, providing uncertain sense information. We constr... | Manufacture | 1993 |

Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J. | Anomalous charge transport phenomena in the molecular-based magnet V(TCNE)x.y(solvent) | We present charge transport studies on recently developed molecular-based magnets V(TCNE)x. y(solvent) (TCNE= tetracyanoethylene) which show local magnetic ordering at temperatures, T, as high as 400 K. V(TCNE), .y(solvent) prepared from the solvent CH2Cl2 has o(300 K) - 10-3 S/cm, and that prepar... | Frequency; Conductivity; Spin | 1993 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Ant-plant symbioses in Africa and the neotropics : history, biogeography and diversity | Symbiotic ant-plant relationships afford an excellent opportunity to analyze the effects of both historical and ecological factors on the evolution of mutualisms. Occurring in tropical forests throughout the world, all myrmecophytic plants provide food and permanent housing to ants; the ants, in t... | Ant-plant symbiosis; Africa; Neotropics; Myrmecophytes; Plant-ants | 1993 |

Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A. | Colonization of tropical rain forest leaves by epiphylls: effects of site and host plant leaf lifetime | In humid tropical regions, leaves are frequently colonized by epiphylls (Richards 1954, Pocs 1978, 1982). Lichens and liverworts usually dominate, although mosses, algae, and cyanobacteria can also occur (Winkler 1971, Smith 1982).

Clayton, Dale H. | Common grackle anting with lime fruit and its effect on ectoparasites | Anting is stereotyped behavior in which birds ex- pose themselves to fluid-secreting ants or other pun- gent substances. During "active" anting a bird crush- es an ant in the bill and rubs it frenetically through its plumage (Rothschild and Clay 1952). During "passive" anting a bird entices ants to ... | Quiscalus quiscala; Columbicola columbae; Anting; Ectoparasites | 1993 |
