Hillman, Nicholas W | The ethical dimensions of awarding financial aid | Abstract In countries charging tuition fees, and those that are considering adopting tuition fee policies, recent economic conditions are making education less affordable and accessible for students (Johnstone & Marcucci, 2010; Schwarzenberger & Opheim, 2009). To combat these challenges, nations, ... | | 2011 |

Kopta, Daniel M.; Kensler, Andrew Erin; Spjut, Josef Bo; Brunvand, Erik L.; Davis, Al | Fast, effective BVH updates for dynamic ray-traced scenes using tree rotations | Bounding volume hierarchies are a popular choice for ray tracing animated scenes due to the relative simplicity of refitting bounding volumes around moving geometry. However, the quality of such a refitted tree can degrade rapidly if objects in the scene deform or rearrange significantly as the ... | Ray tracing; Acceleration structures; Bounding volume hierarchies; Tree rotations; Dynamic scenes; Parallel update | 2011 |

Jameson, Kenneth P. | Institutions and development: what a difference geography and time make | Ha-Joon Chang, in his article ?Institutions and Economic Development: Theory, Policy, and History?, provides a description and critique of the mainstream view of institutions and development. It applies well to Latin America in the 1980s and 1990s. However, the effort to introduce these Anglo-Americ... | | 2011 |

Zhdanov, Michael | Large-scale 3D inversion of marine magnetotelluric data: Case study from the Gemini prospect, Gulf of Mexico | Three-dimensional magnetotelluric (MT) inversion is an emerging technique for offshore hydrocarbon exploration. We have developed a new approach to the 3D inversion of MT data, based on the integral equation method. The Tikhonov regularization and physical constraint have been used to obtain a stab... | | 2011 |

Myers, Chris J. | Learning genetic regulatory network connectivity from time series data | Abstract-Recent experimental advances facilitate the collection of time series data that indicate which genes in a cell are expressed. This information can be used to understand the genetic regulatory network that generates the data. Typically, Bayesian analysis approaches are applied which neglect ... | | 2011 |
