201 Beckerle, Mary C.Mathematical modeling of the dynamic mechanical behavior of neighboring sarcomeres in actin stress fibersActin stress fibers (SFs) in live cells consist of series of dynamic individual sarcomeric units. Within a group of consecutive SF sarcomeres, individual sarcomeres can spontaneously shorten or lengthen without changing the overall length of this group, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. We us...2014-01-01
202 Parker, Steven G.Memory sharing for interactive ray tracing on clustersWe present recent results in the application of distributed shared memory to image parallel ray tracing on clusters. Image parallel rendering is traditionally limited to scenes that are small enough to be replicated in the memory of each node, because any processor may require access to any piece o...Ray tracing; Out-of-core rendering; Distributed shared memory; Cache miss reduction; Parallel rendering2005-02
203 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshPrecision on demand: an improvement in probabilistic hashingIn explicit state (enumerative) model checking, state vectors are often represented in a compressed form in order to reduce storage needs, typically employing fingerprints, bithashes, or state signatures. When using this kind of techniques, it could happen that the compressed image of a nonvisite...Probabilistic hashing; Model checking2007
204 Zhdanov, MichaelQuasi-analytical boundary condition for three-dimensional finite difference electromagnetic modelingNumerical modeling of the quasi-static electromagnetic (EM) field in the frequency domain in a three-dimensional (3-D) inhomogeneous medium is a very challenging problem in computational physics.

210 Gerig, GuidoWhite matter microstructure and atypical visual orienting in 7 month-olds at risk for autismObjective: The authors sought to determine whether specific patterns of oculo-motor functioning and visual orientingcharacterize 7-month-old infants who later meet criteria for an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and to identify the neural correlates of these behaviors. Method:Data were collected from...2013-01-01

213 Hansen, Charles D.Model for volume lighting and modelingAbstract-Direct volume rendering is a commonly used technique in visualization applications. Many of these applications require sophisticated shading models to capture subtle lighting effects and characteristics of volumetric data and materials. For many volumes, homogeneous regions pose problems f...2003-04
214 Gerig, GuidoMulti-object analysis of volume, pose, and shape using statistical discriminationOne goal of statistical shape analysis is the discrimination between two populations of objects. Whereas traditional shape analysis was mostly concerned with single objects, analysis of multi-object complexes presents new challenges related to alignment and pose.
