Inverse Metabolic Engineering of Synechocystis PCC 6803 for Improved Growth Rate and Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate Production
(2005-01)Synechocystis PCC 6803 is a photosynthetic bacterium that has the potential to make bioproducts from carbon dioxide and light. Biochemical production from photosynthetic organisms is attractive because it replaces the ... -
Investigation of aspect ratio of hole drilling from micro to nanoscale via focused ion beam fine milling
(2005-01)Holes with different sizes from microscale to nanoscale were directly fabricated by focused ion beam (FIB) milling in this paper. Maximum aspect ratio of the fabricated holes can be 5:1 for the hole with large size with ... -
Investigation of the Dimensional Variation of Microstructures Through the μMIM Process
(2007-01)The mass production of components with dimensions in the micron and sub-micron range is anticipated to be one of the leading technology areas for the present century and to be of high market potential. Micro metal injection ... -
Investigation of the Fundamental Reliability Unit for Cu Dual-Damascene Metallization
(2002-01)An investigation has been carried out to determine the fundamental reliability unit of copper dual-damascene metallization. Electromigration experiments have been carried out on straight via-to-via interconnects in the ... -
Investigation on Aluminum-Based Amorphous Metallic Glass as New Anode Material in Lithium Ion Batteries
(2003-01)Aluminum based amorphous metallic glass powders were produced and tested as the anode materials for the lithium ion rechargeable batteries. Ground Al₈₀Ni₁₀La₁₀ was found to have a ... -
Investigation on Thin Film Lithium Microbatteries
(2004-01)Thin film lithium microbatteries were investigated in this project in which LiCoO₂ cathodes about 200 to 500 nm were fabricated by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) at different processing parameters such as laser energy ... -
Keyword Join: Realizing Keyword Search for Information Integration
(2006-01)Information integration has been widely addressed over the last several decades. However, it is far from solved due to the complexity of resolving schema and data heterogeneities. In this paper, we propose out attempt to ... -
Keyword Join: Realizing Keyword Search in P2P-based Database Systems
(2005-01)In this paper, we present a P2P-based database sharing system that provides information sharing capabilities through keyword-based search techniques. Our system requires neither a global schema nor schema mappings between ... -
Knowledge Integration to Overcome Ontological Heterogeneity: Challenges from Financial Information Systems
(2003-01)The shift towards global networking brings with it many opportunities and challenges. In this paper, we discuss key technologies in achieving global semantic interoperability among heterogeneous information systems, including ... -
A Lab Scale Polymer Micro-Embossing Machine for Process Control Research
(2004-01)Micro embossing is the process of fabricating micron-sized features by plastic deformation of a work piece by means of a shaped tool or die. In our work we are concerned with hot embossing of PMMA to produce features in ... -
Laser Fabrication by Using Photonic Crystal
(2003-01)This paper involves the calculation for composition of different layer used in laser structure and the simulation of cavity, formed by creating air columns in the InGaAsP medium, for square lattice. The aim of this project ... -
Learning object boundary detection from motion data
(2004-01)This paper describes the initial results of a project to create a self-supervised algorithm for learning object segmentation from video data. Developmental psychology and computational experience have demonstrated that the ... -
Learning object boundary detection from motion data
(2003-01)A significant barrier to applying the techniques of machine learning to the domain of object boundary detection is the need to obtain a large database of correctly labeled examples. Inspired by developmental psychology, ... -
Learning Three-Dimensional Shape Models for Sketch Recognition
(2005-01)Artifacts made by humans, such as items of furniture and houses, exhibit an enormous amount of variability in shape. In this paper, we concentrate on models of the shapes of objects that are made up of fixed collections ... -
Length Effects on the Reliability of Dual-Damascene Cu Interconnects
(2002-01)The effects of interconnect length on the reliability of dual-damascene Cu metallization have been investigated. As in Al-based interconnects, the lifetimes of Cu lines increase with decreasing length. However, unlike ... -
Linear Thermodynamics of Rodlike DNA Filtration
(2007-01)Linear thermodynamics transportation theory is employed to study filtration of rodlike DNA molecules. Using the repeated nanoarray consisting of alternate deep and shallow regions, it is demonstrated that the complex ... -
Logistics Network Design with Differentiated Delivery Lead-Time: Benefits and Insights
(2005-01)Most logistics network design models assume exogenous customer demand that is independent of the service time or level. This paper examines the benefits of segmenting demand according to lead-time sensitivity of customers. ... -
