Jenike, A.W. | Gravity flow of bulk solids | There is hardly an industry in existence which does not use solid materials in bulk form. Where the volume of the solids is substantial, gravity is usually relied upon to cause the solids to flow. Such materials as ores, coal, cement, flour, cocoa, soil, to which the general term of bulk solids is a... | 1961-10 | |

Ziegenfuss, Donna | A Busy Professor's Guide to Sanely Flipping Your Classroom | The Flipped Classroom has become a popular teaching method. Students watch video lectures before class, saving class time for active learning (problem solving, demonstrations, applications, etc.). This paper is a useful guide for busy professors who would like to try out the flipped classroom approa... | flipped classroom; inverted classroom; engineering education; teaching electromagnetics; assessment pedagogy | 2019 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Dispersal adaptations of some acacia species in the Australian arid zone | Most Australian representatives of the genus Acacia have diaspores with arillate appendages indicative of adaptation for active dispersal by animals. Based on physical and chemical characteristics of these arils and mechanisms of diaspore presentation, a number of arid zone acacias can be distingu... | Acacia; Australian arid zone; Dispersal ecology; Fruit quality; Myrmecochory; Ornithochory; Seed parasitoids; Soil nutrients | 1984 |

Ehleringer, James R.; Bush, Sarah Elizabeth; Solomon, Douglas Kip | Ecohydrology in a Colorado River riparian forest: implications for the decline of Populus fremontii | Populus fremontii (Fremont cottonwood) was once a dominant species in desert riparian forests but has been increasingly replaced by the exotic invasive Tamarix ramosissima (saltcedar). Interspecific competition, reduced flooding frequency, and increased salinity have been implicated in the widespre... | Populus fremontii; Decline; Colorado River; Utah; Invasive species; Riparian; Salinity; Sap flow; Tamarix ramosissima; Transpiration | 2005 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Leveraging wire properties at the microarchitecture level | In future microprocessors, communication will emerge as a major bottleneck. The authors advocate composing future interconnects of some wires that minimize latency, some that maximize bandwidth, and some that minimize power. A microarchitecture aware of these wire characteristics can steer on-chip ... | Microarchitecture; Interconnects; Cache coherence | 2006-11 |

Mathews, V. John | Stochastic mean-square performance analysis of an adaptive Hammerstein filter | Abstract-This paper presents an almost sure mean-square performance analysis of an adaptive Hammerstein filter for the case when the measurement noise in the desired response signal is a martingale difference sequence. The system model consists of a series connection of a memoryless nonlinearity fol... | 2006 | |

DeTar, Carleton | Tunneling and the spectrum of the Potts model | The three-dimensional, three-state Potts model is studied as a paradigm for high-temperature quantum chromodynamics. In a high-statistics numerical simulation using a Swendson-Wang algorithm, we study cubic lattices of dimension as larger as 643 and measure correlation functions on long lattices of ... | Potts model; Tunneling; Transfer matrix; Phase transitions | 1993-05 |

McDaniel, Susan | Where the contradictions meet: women and family security in Canada in the 1990s | Family and security are both contested ground in Canada in the 1990s. The family and family values are lauded sentimentally on both sides of the 49th parallel. Yet, more and more families, Canadian and American - families with children, aging couples and the working poor - are lining up at food bank... | Values; Responsibilities; Opportunities | 1993 |

DeTar, Carleton | Equation of state and QCD transition at finite temperature | We calculate the equation of state in 2 + 1 flavor QCD at finite temperature with physical strange quark mass and almost physical light quark masses using lattices with temporal extent Nr = 8. Calculations have been performed with two different improved staggered fermion actions, the asqtad and p4 a... | Deconfinement; Chiral symmetry; Staggered fermions; Phase transitions; Polyakov loop | 2009-07 |

Carter, John B. | A comparison of software and hardware synchronization mechanisms for distributed shared memory multiprocessors | Efficient synchronization is an essential component of parallel computing. The designers of traditional multiprocessors have included hardware support only for simple operations such as compare-and-swap and load-linked/store-conditional, while high level synchronization primitives such as locks, bar... | Hardware locks | 1996 |

Baehr, Wolfgang | Calcium-sensitive particulate guanylyl cyclase as a modulator of cAMP in olfactory receptor neurons | The second messengers cAMP and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate have been implicated in olfaction in various species. The odorant-induced cGMP response was investigated using cilia preparations and olfactory primary cultures. Odorants cause a delayed and sustained elevation of cGMP. A component of this c... | Calcium-Binding Proteins; Nerve Tissue Proteins; Rats, Sprague-Dawley | 1998 |

Freire, Juliana | Designing information-preserving mapping schemes for XML | An XML-to-relational mapping scheme consists of a procedure for shredding XML documents into relational databases, a procedure for publishing databases back as documents, and a set of constraints the databases must satisfy. In previous work, we discussed two notions of information preservation for m... | Losslessness; Validation; Mapping scheme; Edge++; LILO; Lossless Inlining; Lossless Outlining; XML Schema | 2005 |

Yu, Zhou | Heterogeneity in Asian American homeownership: the impact of household endowments and immigrant status | Recently, research has begun to investigate the reasons for differences in homeownership rates between Asian and whites. This paper extends this research by examining the heterogeneity that exists across Asian groups in the United States. We find that there are important differences across geog... | Immigrants; Homeownership | 2003 |

Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T. | Higher-order nonlinear priors for surface reconstruction | Abstract-For surface reconstruction problems with noisy and incomplete range data, a Bayesian estimation approach can improve the overall quality of the surfaces. The Bayesian approach to surface estimation relies on a likelihood term, which ties the surface estimate to the input data, and the prior... | 2004 | |

Gondolo, Paolo | Measurement of the gluon parton distribution function at small x with neutrino telescopes | We analyze the possibility that neutrino telescopes may provide an experimental determination of the slope λ of the gluon distribution in the proton at momentum fractions x smaller than the accelerator reach. The method is based on a linear relation between λ and the spectral index (slope) of th... | Neutrino telescopes; Charm | 2001-01 |

Horch, Kenneth W.; Tuckett, Robert P.; Burgess, Paul Richard | Neural signal for skin indentation depth. I. Changing indentations | Psychophysical tests on human subjects showed that judgments of skin indentation depth made when the fingertip was indented at rates from 0.2 to 16 mm/set were quite insensitive to changes in indentation velocity. Similar results were obtained on the forearm at indentation velocities of 0.4 to 16... | Skin; Indentation; Nerve impulses | 1983 |
