Finite Element Output Bounds for a Stabilized Discretization of Incompressible Stokes Flow
(2002-01)We introduce a new method for computing a posteriori bounds on engineering outputs from finite element discretizations of the incompressible Stokes equations. The method results from recasting the output problem as a ... -
Finite Energy Survey Propagation for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
(2007-01)The Survey Propagation (SP) algorithm [1] has recently been shown to work well in the hard region for random K-SAT problems. SP has its origins in sophisticated arguments in statistical physics, and can be derived from an ... -
First Principles Modeling for Research and Design of New Materials
(2003-01)First principles computation can be used to investigate an design materials in ways that can not be achieved with experimental means. We show how computations can be used to rapidly capture the essential physics that ... -
First-Principles Study of Point Defects in LaAlO₃
(2007-01)In this study, the native point defects including oxygen vacancy and interstitial, metal (La, Al) vacancy and interstitial, and metal antisite in perovskite LAO are studied. Defect formation energies are studied as a ... -
Flash Photography Enhancement via Intrinsic Relighting
(2005-01)We enhance photographs shot in dark environments by combining a picture taken with the available light and one taken with the flash. We preserve the ambiance of the original lighting and insert the sharpness from the flash ... -
Fluid Models for Traffic and Pricing
(2003-01)Fluid dynamics models provide a powerful deterministic technique to approximate stochasticity in a variety of application areas. In this paper, we study two classes of fluid models, investigate their relationship as well ... -
Focused ion beam direct fabrication of micro-optical elements: features compared with laser beam and electron beam direct writing
(2004-01)Three types of focused ion beam machine: focused ion beam milling (FIB milling), focused ion beam lithography (FIB lithography), and focused ion beam direct deposition (FIB deposition), are described in detail to compare ... -
Formation of Nanocrystalline Germanium via Oxidation of Si₀.₅₄Ge₀.₄₆ for Memory Device Applications
(2003-01)In this work, we studied the possibility of synthesizing nanocrystalline germanium (Ge) via dry and wet oxidation of both amorphous and polycrystalline Si₀.₅₄Ge₀.₄₆ films. In dry oxidation, Ge was rejected from the growing ... -
A Framework of Implementation of Collaborative Product Service in Virtual Enterprise
(2003-01)To satisfy new market requirements, manufacturing industry has shifted from mass production that takes advantage of the scale of production, to quality management that optimizes the internal enterprise functions, to ... -
Framework to Manage Customer Enquiries for SMEs
(2003-01)For most Smaller Manufacturing Enterprises (SMEs), how to manage customer enquiries at the customer enquiry stage is of great importance to maintain the competitive advantage and secure future customer orders. A lack of ... -
Free Probability, Sample Covariance Matrices and Stochastic Eigen-Inference
(2006-01)Random matrix theory is now a big subject with applications in many disciplines of science, engineering and finance. This talk is a survey specifically oriented towards the needs and interests of a computationally inclined ... -
Frequency Dependence Modulus of Pd₄₀Ni₁₀Cu₃₀P₂₀ Amorphous Alloy around the Glass Transition by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis
(2002-01)Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) was used to study the frequency dependence of storage and loss modulus of amorphous Pd₄₀Ni₁₀Cu₃₀P₂₀ alloy over a broad frequency range around its glass transition temperature. The amorphous ... -
Fulfillment of Rush Customer Orders under Limited Capacity
(2002-01)Customer demand fulfillment is the business process within a company that determines how the customer demand is fulfilled. A rush order is the last minute customer order after the production plan of a company has been ... -
Functional design of mechanical products based on behavior-driven function-environment-structure modeling framework
(2002-01)The relative significance of upstream design activity to downstream design activity is widely recognized, due to its critical role in determining the final product’s functionality. Although there are now some general ... -
Functional Modeling in Conceptual Die Design
(2003-01)The use of function has been recognized as an important part of the design process over last two decades, especially at the conceptual design stage, due to its critical role in determining the final product’s functionality. ... -
A Functional Protein Chip for Combinatorial Pathway Optimization and In Vitro Metabolic Engineering
(2004-01)Pathway optimization is, in general, a very demanding task due to the complex, nonlinear and largely unknown interactions of enzymes, regulators and metabolites. While in vitro reconstruction and pathway analysis is a ... -
GaN Based Nanomaterials Fabrication with Anodic Aluminium Oxide by MOCVD
(2003-01)A highly self-ordered hexagonal array of cylindrical pores has been fabricated by anodizing a thin film of Al on substrate and subsequent growth of GaN and InGaN in these nanoholes has been performed. This AAO template-based ... -
GaN Nanopore Arrays: Fabrication and Characterization
(2004-01)GaN nanopore arrays with pore diameters of approximately 75 nm were fabricated by inductively coupled plasma etching (ICP) using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) films as etch masks. Nanoporous AAO films were formed on the GaN ... -
Gaussian Distribution Approximation for Localized Effects of Input Parameters
(2003-01)In the application of cycle-to-cycle control to manufacturing processes, the model of the process reduces to a gain matrix and a pure delay. For a general multiple input – multiple output process, this matrix shows the ... -
