Ballistic Transport in Carbon Nanotubes from First-Principles Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(2004-01)We determined the Landauer ballistic conductance of pristine nanotubes at finite temperature via a novel scheme that combines ab-initio molecular dynamics, maximally-localized Wannier functions, and a tight-binding formulation ... -
Ballistic Transport in Nanostructures from First-Principles Simulations
(2003-01)We developed and implemented a first-principles based theory of the Landauer ballistic conductance, to determine the transport properties of nanostructures and molecular-electronics devices. Our approach starts from a ... -
Ballistic Transport in Nanostructures, and its Application to Functionalized Nanotubes
(2004-01)We developed and implemented a first-principles based theory of the Landauer ballistic conductance, to determine the transport properties of nanostructures and molecular-electronics devices. Our approach starts from a ... -
A Base Stock Inventory Model for a Remanufacturable Product
(2003-01)We report on an industrial project in which we developed an inventory model to provide decision support for the design and deployment of the field service support system for a remanufacturable product. The product was a ... -
BATON: A Balanced Tree Structure for Peer-to-Peer Networks
(2006-01)We propose a balanced tree structure overlay on a peer-to-peer network capable of supporting both exact queries and range queries efficiently. In spite of the tree structure causing distinctions to be made between nodes ... -
The Benefits of Re-Evaluating Real-Time Fulfillment Decisions
(2005-01)At the time of a customer order, the e-tailer assigns the order to one or more of its order fulfillment centers, and/or to drop shippers, so as to minimize procurement and transportation costs, based on the available current ... -
Bioinformatics and Handwriting/Speech Reconition: Uncoventional Applications of Similarity Search Tools
(2006-01)This work introduces two unconventional applications for sequence alignment algorithms outside the domain of bioinformatics: handwriting recognition and speech recognition. In each application we treated data samples, such ... -
Biological Routes to Gold Nanoplates
(2007-01)Gold nanoplates are promising for optical and electronic applications; but their synthesis is complex, often requiring a seeded growth process or spherical to triangle morphology transformation. We have discovered a ... -
Biological Routes to Gold Nanoplates
(2005-01)Much effort has been devoted to the synthesis of gold nanoparticles with different shapes, including the zero-dimensional nanospheres, one dimensional nanorods, and two-dimensional nanoplates. Compared to zero or one ... -
Bit-Packing Optimization for StreamIt
(2003-01)StreamIt is a language specifically designed for modern streaming applications. A certain important class of these applications operates on streams of bits. This paper presents the motivation for a bit-packing optimization ... -
Bit-Width Analysis for General Applications
(2005-01)It has been widely known that a significant part of the bits are useless or even unused during the program execution. Bit-width analysis targets at finding the minimum bits needed for each variable in the program, which ... -
Bounds on Linear PDEs via Semidefinite Optimization
(2002-01)Using recent progress on moment problems, and their connections with semidefinite optimization, we present in this paper a new methodology based on semidefinite optimization, to obtain a hierarchy of upper and lower bounds ... -
Bubble Behavior in a Taylor Vortex
(2005-01)We present an experimental study on the behavior of bubbles captured in a Taylor vortex. The gap between a rotating inner cylinder and a stationary outer cylinder is filled with a Newtonian mineral oil. Beyond a critical ... -
Bubble Simulation Using Level Set-Boundary Element Method
(2003-01)In bubble dynamics, an underwater bubble may evolve from being singly-connected to being toroidal. Furthermore, two or more individual bubbles may merge to form a single large bubble. These dynamics involve significant ... -
Building a Document Corpus for Manufacturing Knowledge Retrieval
(2004-01)When faced with challenging technical problems, R&D personnel would often turn to technical papers to seek inspiration for a solution. The building of a corpus of such papers and the easy retrieval of relevant papers by ... -
Bulk Glass Formation in Eutectic of La-Cu-Ni-Al Metallic Alloys
(2003-01)A eutectic in La-rich La-Cu₀.₅Ni₀.₅-Al alloys was determined by studying the melting behaviors and the microstructure observations. The microstructures of the La-Cu-Ni-Al alloys prepared by ... -
Carbon Nanotube Growth Using Ni Catalyst in Different Layouts
(2005-01)Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes have been grown using Ni as catalyst by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system (PECVD) in various pre-patterned substrates. Ni was thermally evaporated on silicon substrates ... -
Cell-line Engineering for Low-temperature Growth
(2004-01)In the chemical industry, the rates of reactions are usually enhanced by the use of high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. This chemical engineering approach is rarely applied in the biotechnology field. Firstly, ... -
