Circuit Optimization Using Efficient Parallel Pattern Search
(2011-08-08)
Circuit optimization is extremely important in order to design today's high performance integrated circuits. As systems become more and more complex, traditional optimization techniques are no longer viable due to the ...
Experimental Study of Solvent Based Emulsion Injection to Enhance Heavy Oil Recovery
(2011-08-08)
This study presents the results of nano-particle and surfactant-stabilized solvent-based emulsion core flooding studies under laboratory conditions that investigate the recovery mechanisms of chemical flooding in a heavy ...
Telomere Protection and Maintenance in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2011-08-08)
Telomeres are the physical ends of linear chromosomes in eukaryotes. Telomeres
not only protect chromosome ends from being recognized as double-strand breaks but
also maintain the chromosome terminal sequences. These ...
Kernelization and Enumeration: New Approaches to Solving Hard Problems
(2011-08-08)
NP-Hardness is a well-known theory to identify the hardness of computational problems.
It is believed that NP-Hard problems are unlikely to admit polynomial-time algorithms.
However since many NP-Hard problems are of ...
Hydrologic and Ecological Effects of Watershed Urbanization: Implication for Watershed Management in Hillslope Regions
(2011-08-08)
In this study, I examined the effect of watershed urbanization on the invasion of alien
woody species in riparian forests. This study was conducted in three major steps: 1)
estimating the degree of watershed urbanization ...
A Geomorphological Assessment of Armored Deposits Along the Southern Flanks of Grand Mesa, CO, USA
(2011-08-08)
A series of deposits, located along the southern flanks of Grand Mesa, Colorado, and extending to the south, are problematic, and the processes related to emplacement are not understood. The overall area is dominated by ...
Flux Measurements of Volatile Organic Compounds from an Urban Tower Platform
(2011-08-08)
A tall tower flux measurement setup was established in metropolitan Houston, Texas, to
measure trace gas fluxes from both anthropogenic and biogenic emission sources in the
urban surface layer. We describe a new relaxed ...
High Quality Compact Delay Test Generation
(2011-08-08)
Delay testing is used to detect timing defects and ensure that a circuit meets its
timing specifications. The growing need for delay testing is a result of the advances in
deep submicron (DSM) semiconductor technology and ...
A Critical Study of John Camden Hotten and The Slang Dictionary
(2011-08-08)
Many lexicographers found some words unsuitable for inclusion in their dictionaries, thus the examination of general purpose dictionaries alone will not give us a faithful history of changes of the language. Nevertheless, ...
Understanding and Mapping Land-Use and Land-Cover Change along Bolivia's Corredor Bioceancio
(2011-08-08)
The Corredor Bioceanico is a major transportation project connecting the agricultural heartlands of South America to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The final link is in southeastern Bolivia - an underdeveloped area that ...
