The applicability of a quantitative characterization scheme for cluster detection in particle reinforced composites is discussed. The method considers the pattern from the perspective of individual particles, so that even in a pattern that globally conform ...
To predict fluid phase distribution in porous media, the effect of geometric properties on flow processes must be understood. In this study, we analyze the effect of volume, surface, curvature and connectivity (the four Minkowski functionals) on the hydrau ...
This paper studies the rate distortion behavior of sparse memoryless sources that serve as models of sparse signal representations. For the Hamming distortion criterion, R(D) is shown to be essentially linear. For the mean squared error measure, two mode ...
Nanoscale objects are typically internalized by cells into membrane-bounded endosomes and fail to access the cytosolic cell machinery. Whereas some biomacromolecules may penetrate or fuse with cell membranes without overt membrane disruption, no synthetic ...
We present new techniques that use motion planning algorithms based on probabilistic roadmaps to control 22 degrees of freedom (DOFs) of human-like characters in interactive applications. Our main purpose is the automatic synthesis of collision-free reachi ...
We report inelastic neutron-scattering measurements of crystal-field transitions in PrFeAsO, PrFeAsO0.87F0.13, and NdFeAsO0.85F0.15. Doping with fluorine produces additional crystal-field excitations, providing evidence that there are two distinct charge e ...
We present a numerical approximation technique for the analysis of continuous-time Markov chains that describe networks of biochemical reactions and play an important role in the stochastic modeling of biological systems. Our approach is based on the const ...
The working electrode of a dye-sensitized photovoltaic fiber is constituted of a porous TiO2 coated titanium wire. The cohesion and adhesion of such a brittle oxide coating on the ductile metal substrate are identified as crucial factors in maintaining pho ...
The dielectric and piezoelectric response of ferroelectric thin films and ceramics was investigated as a function of the driving field amplitude. Detailed analysis of the amplitude and phase angle of the third harmonic of the dielectric displacement and pi ...
A spread interleaver of length N is a semi-random interleaver based on the random selection without replacement of N integers from 1 to N under a design constraint. This paper extends the spread-interleaver design method to multiple error events, based on ...
