Al/SiC composites with volume fractions of SiC between 0.55 and 0.71 were made from identical tapped and vibrated powder preforms by squeeze casting (SC) and by two different setups for gas pressure infiltration (GPI), one that allows short (1-2 min) liqui ...
Recently, an information-theoretical decomposition of Kullback–Leibler divergence into uncertainty, reliability, and resolution was introduced. In this article, this decomposition is generalized to the case where the observation is uncertain. Along with a ...
Consider the problem of signal detection via multiple distributed noisy sensors. We study a linear decision fusion rule of [Z. Quan, S. Cui, and A. H. Sayed, ¿Optimal Linear Cooperation for Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks,¿ IEEE J. Sel. Topics ...
This paper investigates the particular problem of matrices appearing during the modeling of Integrated Circuits with Finite Integration Technique (FIT) method. We present the key points of FIT approach followed by an illustration of the structure and the p ...
Rationalization and construction-aware design dominate the issue of realizability of freeform architecture. The former means the decomposition of an intended shape into parts which are sufficiently simple and efficient to manufacture; the latter refers to ...
This paper investigates the decomposition of three clayey structures (kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite) when thermally treated at 600 degrees C and 800 degrees C and the effect of this treatment on their pozzolanic activity in cementitious materials. ...
Various direct-ambient signal decompositions, applicable to two-channel stereophonic signals, have been proposed previously. Strategies to enhance these decompositions for multi-channel surround audio signals are not obvious. A method is proposed, which es ...

We propose an algorithm for solving the maximum weighted stable set problem on claw-free graphs that runs in O(n^3)-time, drastically improving the previous best known complexity bound. This algorithm is based on a novel decomposition theorem for claw-free ...
We present a model for the interplay between the fundamental phenomena responsible for the formation of nanostructures by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on patterned (001)/(111)B GaAs substrates. Experiments have demonstrated that V-groove quantum wires ...
In this study, we describe the seasonal variation in N-15 abundance in the litter of two Sphagnum species and four vascular plant species during 3 years of field decomposition in an Italian Alpine bog. Litter bags were periodically retrieved at the end of ...
