1 Mathews, V. JohnA stable adaptive Hammerstein filter employing partial orthogonalization of the input signalsAbstract-This paper presents an algorithm that adapts the parameters of a Hammerstein system model. Hammerstein systems are nonlinear systems that contain a static nonlinearity cascaded with a linear system. In this paper, the static nonlinearity is modeled using a polynomial system, and the linear ...2006
2 Stevens, KennethAlgorithms for MIS vector generation and pruningIgnoring the effect of simultaneous switching for logic gates causes silicon failures for high performance microprocessor designs. The main reason to omit this effect is the run time penalty and potential over-conservatism. Run times are directly proportional to the vector sizes. Efficient algorithm...2006
3 Miller, Jan D.Anisotropic character of talc surfaces as revealed by streaming potential measurements, atomic force microscopy, and molecular dynamics simulationsA study of the interfacial properties of the basal plane and the edge surfaces of talc is described in this paper. The isoelectric-point measured at the two different crystallographic planes by the streaming potential method was found to be similar and exists at about pH 3.0. In the case of the edg...Streaming potential; Scanning electron microscope; Atomic force microscope2006
4 Miller, Jan D.Atomic force microscopy investigation of interaction forces between polyethylene and asphaltene surfacesMany petroleum-derived asphalts used for road construction exhibit poor rheological properties.

6 Mathews, V. JohnDesign of low-delay nonuniform pseudo QMF banksABSTRACT This paper presents a method for designing low-delay nonuniform pseudo QMF banks. The method is motivated by the work of Li, Nguyen and Tantaratana, in which the nonuniform filter bank is realized by combining an appropriate number of adjacent subbands of a uniform pseudo QMF filter ban...2006
7 Horch, Kenneth W.Differential activation of nerve fibers with magnetic stimulation in humansEarlier observations in our lab had indicated that large, time-varying magnetic fields could elicit action potentials that travel in only one direction in at least some of the myelinated axons in peripheral nerves. The objective of this study was to collect quantitative evidence for magnetically in...Magnetic stimulation; Peripheral nerve; Electromyographic potential; Somatosensory potential2006
8 Zhou, XuesongDynamic origin-destination demand estimation using automatic vehicle identification dataAbstract-This paper proposes a dynamic origin-destination (OD) estimation method to extract valuable point-to-point splitfraction information from automatic vehicle identification (AVI) counts without estimating market-penetration rates and identification rates of AVI tags. A nonlinear ordinary leas...2006
9 Balasubramonian, RajeevThe effect of interconnect design on the performance of large L2 cachesThe ever increasing sizes of on-chip caches and the growing domination of wire delay have changed the traditional design approach of the memory hierarchy. Many recent proposals advocate splitting the cache into a large number of banks and employ an on-chip network to allow fast access to nearby ban...2006
10 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Effects of surfactants Sb and Bi on the incorporation of zinc and carbon in III/V materials grown by organometallic vapor-phase epitaxyThe incorporation of both dopants and background impurities during the organometallic vapor phase epitaxial _x0002_OMVPE_x0003_ growth of GaAs, GaInP, and GaP has been significantly altered by the use of the surfactants Sb and Bi. Sb and Bi are isoelectronic with the group V host elements, and so ...Physical and chemical processes; Surfactants isoelectronic; Electrochemical C-V profilometry2006
11 Tiwari, AshutoshElectrical properties of transparent and conducting Ga doped ZnOIn this paper, we report on the metal-semiconductor transition behavior observed in transparent and conducting ZnO:Ga films grown by pulsed-laser deposition.

12 Brunvand, Erik L.Estimating performance of an ray- tracing ASIC designRecursive ray tracing is a powerful rendering technique used to compute realistic images by simulating the global light transport in a scene. Algorithmic improvements and FPGA-based hardware implementations of ray tracing have demonstrated realtime performance but hardware that achieves performance ...2006
13 Miller, Jan D.Experimental evaluation of a mineral exposure model for crushed copper oresCopper mineral inclusions dispersed in crushed ore particles have a certain size distribution (grain-size distribution). For efficient heap leaching processes, the crushing plant should be designed and operated to crush the ore to an appropriate particle-size distribution so that copper mineral grai...Grains; particles; distribution2006
14 Balasubramonian, RajeevExploiting eager register release in a redundantly multi-threaded processorDue to shrinking transistor sizes and lower supply voltages, transient faults (soft errors) in computer systems are projected to increase by orders of magnitude. Fault detection and recovery can be achieved through redundancy. Redundant multithreading (RMT) is one attractive approach to detect and r...Transient faults; Soft errors; Redundant multithreading; Eager register release; Register file design2006
15 Balasubramonian, RajeevExploring the design space for 3D clustered architectures3D die-stacked chips are emerging as intriguing prospects for the future because of their ability to reduce on-chip wire delays and power consumption. However, they will likely cause an increase in chip operating temperature, which is already a major bottleneck in modern microprocessor design. We...2006
