501 Sikorski, Christopher; Pardyjak, Eric R.Source characterization of atmospheric releases using quasi-random sampling and regularized gradient optimizationIn the present work, an inversion technique to solve the atmospheric source characterization problem is described. The inverse problem comprises characterizing the source (x, y and z coordinates and the source strength) and the meteorological conditions (wind speed and wind direction) at the sourc...Source characterization; Gaussian plume model; Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC); Regularization; Newton?s method; Line-search; Tikhonov stabilizing functional; Adaptive regularization2009

503 Balasubramonian, RajeevTowards scalable, energy-efficient, bus-based on-chip networksIt is expected that future on-chip networks for many-core processors will impose huge overheads in terms of energy, delay, complexity, verification effort, and area. There is a common belief that the bandwidth necessary for future applications can only be provided by employing packet-switched netwo...On-chip networks; Multi-core computing; Bus-based; Energy efficient2010
504 Tasdizen, Tolga; Terry, Christi M.; Cheung, Alfred K.; Kirby, Robert Michael IIUsing the stochastic collocation method for the uncertainty quantification of drug concentration due to depot shape variabilityNumerical simulations entail modeling assumptions that impact outcomes. Therefore, characterizing, in a probabilistic sense, the relationship between the variability of model selection and the variability of outcomes is important. Under certain assumptions, the stochastic collocation method offers ...2009
505 Bhanu, BirCAOS an approach to robot controlControl systems which enable robots to behave intelligently is a major issue in todays process of automating factories. This thesis presents a hierarchical robot control system, a programming language for goal achievement, termed CAOS for Control using Action Oriented Schemata, with ideas taken fro...Robot control system; CAOS; Control using Action Oriented Schemata1987
506 Greenfield, HarveyAn application of computer graphics: two concurrent investigations within the medical fieldThe aim of this project is to apply new or recently developed computer graphic techniques to a particular discipline with the thought of broadening its research capabilities. The discipline chosen, that of medicine, has emphasis places on the area of hemodynamics. It is seen that computer graphics m...Computer graphic techniques1971
507 Henderson, Thomas C.An O(n) time discrete relaxation architecture for real-time processing of the consistent labeling problemDiscrete relaxation techniques have proven useful in solving a wide range of problems in digital signal and digital image processing, artificial intelligence, operations research, and machine vision. Much work has been devoted to finding efficient hardware architectures. This paper shows that a conv...Discrete relaxation techniques1986
508 Carter, John B.Avalanche: A communication and memory architecture for scalable parallel computingAs the gap between processor and memory speeds widens, system designers will inevitably incorporate increasingly deep memory hierarchies to maintain the balance between processor and memory system performance. At the same time, most communication subsystems are permitted access only to main memory ...Avalanche; Computer memory; Memory architecture1995
509 Pascucci, ValerioCharacterization and modeling of PIDX parallel I/O for performance optimizationParallel I/O library performance can vary greatly in re- sponse to user-tunable parameter values such as aggregator count, file count, and aggregation strategy. Unfortunately, manual selection of these values is time consuming and dependent on characteristics of the target machine, the underlying fi...2013-01-01
510 Ostafin, AgnesCombined deletion of mouse dematin-headpiece and ß-adducin exerts a novel effect on the spectrin-actin junctions leading to erythrocyte fragility and hemolytic AnemiaDematin and adducin are actin-binding proteins of the erythrocyte "junctional complex." Individually, they exert modest effects on erythrocyte shape and membrane stability, and their homologues are expressed widely in non-erythroid cells. Here we report generation and characterization of double knoc...2007
511 Henderson, Thomas C.EGOR: design, development, implementation an entry in the 1994 AAAI robot competitionEGOR, an entry in the 1994 AAAI Robot Competition, was built by ate am from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Utah. The constraints imposed by the competition rules, and by cost and time, led to the development of a system composed of off-the- shelf parts based on a mobile bas...EGOR; AAAI Robot Competition1994
512 Furse, Cynthia M.; Gandhi, Om P.State of the science regarding RF dosimetry, measurement and certificationCellular telephones and wireless personal communication systems (PCS) are being introduced into society at a very rapid rate. Whereas the present-day cellular telephones in the United States operate at midband transmission frequencies of about 835 MHz (about 900 MHz in Europe), higher frequencies o...RF dosimetry; Cell phone safety1996
513 Thalos, Mariam G.SystemsDynamical-systems analysis is nowadays ubiquitous. From engineering (its point of origin and natural home) to physiology, and from psychology to ecology, it enjoys surprisingly wide application. Sometimes the analysis rings decisively false-as, for example, when adopted in certain treatments of hist...2009
514 Berzins, MartinA survey of high level frameworks in block-structured adaptive mesh refinement packagesOver the last decade block-structured adaptive mesh refinement (SAMR) has found increasing use in large, publicly available codes and frameworks. SAMR frameworks have evolved along different paths. Some have stayed focused on specific domain areas, others have pursued a more general functionality, p...2014-01-01
515 Henderson, Thomas C.Video based animal behavior analysisIt has become increasingly popular to study animal behaviors with the assistance of video recordings. The traditional way to do this is to first videotape the animal for a period of time, and then a human observer watches the video and records the behaviors of the animal manually. This is a time ...Hidden Markov Model; HMM; Animal Behavior Analysis2006-06-06
