The basic understanding of the underlying techniques of growing Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) with a specific chirality is still obscure and needs to be understood so as to properly harness its potentials. Using both Classical ...

Many data-driven animation techniques are capable of producing high quality motions of human characters. Few techniques, however, are capable of generating motions that are consistent with physically simulated environments. ...

The use of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) in the medical treatment of cancer has attracted scientists and engineers with interest in achieving the most financially affordable but yet curative methods of curing ...

This thesis aims at improving our knowledge on swirl combustors. The work presented here is based on Large Eddy Simulations (LES) coupled to an advanced combustion model: the Conditional Moment Closure (CMC). Numerical ...

In this thesis we present LaSLAT, a sensor network algorithm thatsimultaneously localizes sensors, calibrates sensing hardware, andtracks unconstrained moving targets using only range measurementsbetween the sensors and ...

We introduce Simultaneous Localization and Tracking (SLAT), the problem of tracking a target in a sensor network while simultaneously localizing and calibrating the nodes of the network. Our proposed solution, LaSLAT, ...

In this work, we propose a one-step algorithm for solving variational inequality problems in a 2-uniformly con vex Banach space. Weak convergence of the scheme to a solution of variational inequality is established under ...

We prove that a homogeneous and isotropic universe containing a scalar field with a power-law potential, V(ϕ)=Aϕ^n, with 0<n<1 and A>0 always develops a finite-time singularity at which the Hubble rate and its first ...

SIR is a computer system, programmed in the LISP language, which accepts information and answers questions expressed in a restricted form of English. This system demonstrates what can reasonably be called an ability ...

A revolution\0\0\0 in earthmoving, a $100 billion industry, can be achieved with three components: the GPS location system, sensors and computers in bulldozers, and SITE CONTROLLER, a central computer system that ...

The last decades have witnessed the emergence of a large number of devices pervasively launched into our daily lives as systems producing and collecting data from a variety of information sources to provide different ...

We investigate the effect of particle-size segregation in an upslope propagating granular bore. A bidisperse mixture of particles, initially normally graded, flows down an inclined chute and impacts with a closed end. This ...

We describe a program called SketchIT capable of producing multiple families of designs from a single sketch. The program is given a rough sketch (drawn using line segments for part faces and icons for springs and ...

In the Skyrme model, nuclei are described as topological solitons known as Skyrmions. To make contact with nuclear data one must quantise these Skyrmions; most calculations to date have used rigid body quantisation, where ...

Ribbons are long narrow strips possessing three distinct material length scales (thickness, width, and length) which allow them to produce unique shapes unobtainable by wires or filaments. For example, when a ribbon has ...

The algebraic difficulty of determining the component values in a circuit of known topology and specifications is large. Expert circuit designers use terminal equivalence and power arguments to reduce the apparent ...

Recent years have witnessed many proposals for anonymous routing in overlay peer-to-peer networks. The proposed protocols either expose the receiver and the message content, or require the overlay nodes to have public-private ...

Many web applications store persistent data in databases. During execution, such applications spend a significant amount of time communicating with the database for retrieval and storing of persistent data over the network. ...
