Mathews, V. John | Image enhancement via adaptive unsharp masking | Abstract-This paper presents a new method for unsharp masking for contrast enhancement of images. Our approach employs an adaptive filter that controls the contribution of the sharpening path in such a way that contrast enhancement occurs in high detail areas and little or no image sharpening occur... | 2000 | |

Liu, Feng | Pressure-induced hard-to-soft transition of a single carbon nanotube | We demonstrate a hydrostatic pressure-induced hard-to-soft transition of an isolated single wall carbon nanotube, using classical and ab initio constant-pressure molecular-dynamics simulations and continuum elastic theory analysis. At low pressure, the carbon tube is hard. Above a critical pressur... | Carbon nanotubes; Hard-to-soft transition | 2004-10 |

Liu, Feng | Strain-engineered surface transport in Si(001): complete isolation of the surface state via tensile strain | By combining density functional theory, nonequilibrium Green's function formulism and effective- Hamiltonian approaches, we demonstrate strain-engineered surface transport in Si(001), with the complete isolation of the Si surface states from the bulk bands. Our results show that sufficient tensile s... | 2013-01-01 | |

Mecklenburg, Robert | A dossier driven persistent objects facility | We describe the design and implementation of a persistent object storage facility based on a dossier driven approach. Objects are characterized by dossiers which describe both their language defined and "extra-linguistic" properties. These dossiers are generated by a C+-f- preprocessor in concert ... | Persistent object storage facility; Dossier driven | 1994 |

Singleton, J. Robinson; Smith, A. Gordon | Microvascular complications of impaired glucose tolerance. | Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) serves as a marker for the state of insulin resistance and predicts both large- and small-vessel vascular complications, independent of a patient's progression to diabetes. Patients with IGT are at significantly increased risk for death and morbidity due to myocardia... | Microcirculation; Humans | 2003-12-01 |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Minimally invasive thoracoscopic approach for anterior decompression and stabilization of metastatic spine disease | Object. The choices available in the management of metastatic spine disease are complex, and the role of surgical therapy is increasing. Recent studies have indicated that patients treated with direct surgical decompression and stabilization before radiation have better functional outcomes than thos... | Metastatic spine disease; Minimally invasive surgery; Spinal cord decompression | 2008 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Monte Carlo sensor networks | Biswas et al. [1] introduced a probabilistic approach to inference with limited information in sensor networks. They represented the sensor network as a Bayesian network and performed approximate inference using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The goal is to robustly answer queries even under no... | Monte Carlo sensor networks; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; MCMC | 2005-01-20 |

Miller, Jan D.; Wan, Rong Yu | Significance of carbon properties in the enhanced ferric sulfate leaching of CuFeS2/C aggregates | Acid ferric sulfate solution has been used for heap and dump leaching of low-grade chalcopyrite ores and is being considered as a possible lixiviant for the hydrometallurgical processing of copper sulfide concentrates. For many years, researchers have attempted to explain the leaching behavior of ch... | Ferric sulfate; CuFeS2; Particulate carbon | 1984 |

Yu, Zhou | Immigrants and housing markets in mid-size metropolitan areas | The recent trend of immigrants arriving in mid-size metropolitan areas has received growing attention in the literature. This study examines the success of immigrants in the housing markets of a sample 60 metropolitan areas using Census microdata in both 2000 and 2005. The results suggest that immig... | 2009 | |

Couldwell, William T. | No ordinary time, no ordinary men: the relationship between Harvey Cushing and Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1928-1939 | The authors elucidate the strong personal relationship that developed between Dr. Harvey Cushing and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) from 1928 to 1939, as manifested in their frequent letters to each other. The relationship was initiated by the marriage of their children. Through his correspondence ... | 2001 | |

Yu, Zhou | Different path to homeownership: The case of Taiwanese immigrants in Los Angeles | Taiwanese immigrants in Los Angeles stand in contrast to the welldocumented homeownership deficit among immigrants. Despite the tremendous growth in Taiwanese immigrants during the 1980s, Taiwanese homeownership rate not only was among the highest of all ethnic groups in 1990,... | Taiwanese immigrants; Homeownership; Los Angeles; adaptation | 2006 |

Kestle, John R. W. | Priorities for hydrocephalus research: report from a National Institutes of Health-sponsored workshop | Object. Treatment for hydrocephalus has not advanced appreciably since the advent of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts more than 50 years ago. Many questions remain that clinical and basic research could address, which in turn could improve therapeutic options. To clarify the main issues facing hydr... | Biomedical research | 2007 |
