305 Yang, Yue; Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh; Lindstrom, Gary E.Formalizing the Java Memory Model for multithreaded program correctness and optimizationStandardized language level support for threads is one of the most important features of Java. However, defining and understanding the Java Memory Model (JMM) has turned out to be a big challenge. Several models produced to date are not as easily comparable as first thought. Given the growing inte...Java Memory Model; JMM; Multithreaded program2002-04-02
306 Mcpherson, Brian JamesSimulation of sedimentary rock deformation: lab-scale model calibration and parameterizationUnderstanding the mechanical behavior of rock is critical for researchers and decision-makers in fields from petroleum recovery to hazardous waste disposal. Traditional continuum-based numerical models are hampered by inadequate constitutive relationships governing fracture initiation and growth. To...2002
307 Hansen, Charles D.; Tasdizen, TolgaStatistically quantitative volume visualizationVisualization users are increasingly in need of techniques for assessing quantitative uncertainty and error in the images produced. Statistical segmentation algorithms compute these quantitative results, yet volume rendering tools typically produce only qualitative imagery via transfer function-base...Volume visualization; Uncertainty; Classification; Risk analysis2005
308 Henderson, Thomas C.; Bhanu, BirCAGD based 3-D visual recognitionA coherent automated manufacturing system needs to include CAD/CAM, computer vision, and object manipulation. Currently, most systems which support CAD/CAM do not provide for vision or manipulation and similarly, vision and manipulation systems incorporate no explicit relation to CAD/CAM models. CAD...Object manipulation; CAGD1985
309 Hibler, Michael J.Separating presentation from interface in RPC and IDLsIn RPC-based communication, we term the interface the set of remote procedures and the types of their arguments; the presentation is the way these procedures and types are mapped to the target language environment in a particular client or server, including semantic requirements. For example, pres...RPC-based communication; IDL; Presentation; Interface1995
310 Elens, Robert N.Sequencing computational events in heterogeneous distributed systemsDistributed systems are growing in number, size, and complexity. Some technological advances have been made to program these systems, most notably the remote procedure call. However, the nature of heterogeneous distributed systems allows for much more complex interactions and new programming techno...Sequencing; Computational events; Heterogeneous distributed systems1990
311 Furse, Cynthia M.; Farhang, BehrouzIntegration of signals/systems and electromagnetics courses through the design of a communication system for a cardiac pacemakerAs students go through a traditional ECE program, they learn a great deal about individual components and tools: transistors, op amps, diodes, resistors, transmission lines, and Fourier transforms. In a traditional lab they build and test these individual units. But when the lab is done, whether or...Biomedical communication; Electrical engineering education2005-04

317 Balasubramonian, RajeevNon-uniform power access in large caches with low-swing wiresModern processors dedicate more than half their chip area to large L2 and L3 caches and these caches contribute significantly to the total processor power. A large cache is typically split into multiple banks and these banks are either connected through a bus (uniform cache access - UCA) or an on-c...Large caches; Low-swing wires; Non Uniform Cache Access; NUCA2009
318 Furse, Cynthia M.Women in engineering: statistical analysis of ACT data and proposed procedure to reverse trendWomen have historically been underrepresented both in college majors and professional careers in STEM fields. This disparity can be observed in many countries, though it is most evident in the US. In this paper we analyze historical ACT data over a 30-year span and correlate gender differences ...2011
319 Jenike, A.W.Gravity flow of bulk solidsThere 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.
