We have discovered a micro/nanopatterning technique based on the patterning of a PDMS membrane/film, which involves bonding a PDMS structure/stamp (that has the desired patterns) to a PDMS film. The technique, which we call "bond-detach lithography", was d ...
The Broker with the cost function model of the ISS/VIOLA Meta-Scheduling System implementation is described in details. The Broker includes all the algorithmic steps needed to determine a well suited machine for an application component. This judicious cho ...
The modulation spectrum is an efficient representation for describing dynamic information in signals. In this work we investigate how to exploit different elements of the modulation spectrum for extraction of information in automatic recognition of speech ...
In plasmas with strong field aligned currents, the most unstable mode is not always at parallel propagation, but may be at intermediate and very oblique angles. 2D particle simulations are performed in order to examine the interaction between the plasma wa ...
In this article, we describe a novel hardware platform aimed at the realization of cellular architectures. The system is built hierarchically from a very simple computing unit, called ECell. Several of these units can then be connected, using a high-speed ...
Our vectorized Helmholtz solver runs at 85% efficiency on a NEC SX-5. The most time-consuming parts have been ported on SMP, NUMA, and cluster architectures. It is shown that an OpenMP version can deliver similar performance when running it on a 16 process ...
Dynamic Parallel Schedules (DPS) is a high-level framework for developing parallel applications on distributed memory computers such as clusters of PCs. DPS applications are defined by using directed acyclic flow graphs composed of user-defined operations. ...
The paper presents a completely analytical formula to determine the phase back emf of a slotted BLDC motor with interior or exterior rotor and parallel or radial permanent magnet (PM) magnetization and concentrated winding. The formula is based on integrat ...
The rapid development of molecular biology is creating a pressing need for arrays of biomolecules that are able to detect smaller and smaller volumes of analytes. This goal can be achieved by shrinking the average size and spacing of the arrays constituent ...
The mechanisms by which global structure is extracted from local orientation information are not well understood. Sensitivity to global structure can be investigated using coherence thresholds for detection of global forms of varying complexity, such as pa ...
