Tasdizen, Tolga | Improving the stability of algebraic curves for applications | An algebraic curve is defined as the zero set of a polynomial in two variables. Algebraic curves are practical for modeling shapes much more complicated than conics or superquadrics. The main drawback in representing shapes by algebraic curves has been the lack of repeatability in fitting algebraic... | | 2000 |

Liu, Feng | Impurity mediated absorption continuum in single-walled carbon nanotubes | The authors demonstrate that in single-walled carbon nanotubes, a weak impurity potential can lead to a strong above-gap absorption continuum. The total absorption is enhanced due to the intraband and indirect transitions, as well as plasmon excitations, which are forbidden in perfect nanotubes. Suc... | Carbon nanotubes; SWNT; Defects; Impurities; Above-gap; Absorption continuum | 2007 |

Freire, Juliana | Indexing relations on the web | There has been a substantial increase in the volume of (semi) structured data on the Web. This opens new opportunities for exploring and querying these data that goes beyond the keyword-based queries traditionally used on the Web.

Riloff, Ellen M. | Inducing information extraction systems for new languages via cross-language projection | Information extraction (IE) systems are costly to build because they require development texts, parsing tools, and specialized dictionaries for each application domain and each natural language that needs to be processed. We present a novel method for rapidly creating IE systems for new languages by... | Information extraction; IE systems; Cross-language projection; English; French | 2002 |

Regehr, John | Inferring scheduling behavior with hourglass | Although computer programs explicitly represent data values, time values are usually implicit. This makes it difficult to analyze and debug real-time programs whose correctness depends partially on the time at which results are computed. This paper shows how to use Hourglass, an instrumented, synthe... | | 2002-01-01 |

Pershing, David W. | Influence of coal composition on the fate of volatile and char nitrogen during combustion | Fifty coals from North America, Europe, Asia, South Africa and Australia were burned in a 21 kW, refractory-lined tunnel furnace to determine the influence of coal properties on the fate of volatile and char nitrogen. Excess air fuel NO emissions (as determined by combustion in Ar/02/C02) ranged fro... | Coal composition; Char nitrogen; Volatile nitrogen; NO emissions | 1982 |
