TEM Study on the Evolution of Ge Nanocrystals in Si Oxide Matrix as a Function of Ge Concentration and the Si Reduction Process
(2006-01)Growth and evolution of germanium (Ge) nanocrystals embedded into a silicon oxide (SiO₂) system have been studied based on the Ge content of co-sputtered Ge-SiO₂ films using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray ... -
Template Synthesis of Tubular Sn-Based Nanostructures for Lithium Ion Storage
(2006-01)We report herewith the preparation of SnO₂ nanotubes with very good shape and size control, and with and without a carbon nanotube overlayer, The SnO₂-core/carbon-shell nanotubes are excellent reversible Li ion storage ... -
Temporary and Permanent Buyout Prices in Online Auctions
(2005-01)Increasingly used in online auctions, buyout prices allow bidders to instantly purchase the item listed. We distinguish two types: a temporary buyout option disappears if a bid above the reserve price is made; a permanent ... -
A theory of amorphous polymeric solids undergoing large deformations: application to micro-indentation of poly(methyl methacrylate)
(2004-01)Although existing continuum models for the elasto-viscoplastic response of amorphous polymeric materials phenomenologically capture the large deformation response of these materials in a reasonably acceptable manner, they ... -
Three-Dimensional Simulation of Carmustine Delivery to a Patient-Specific Brain Tumor
(2007-01)This study presents the recent development of three-dimensional patient-specific simulation of carmustine delivery to brain tumor that highlights several crucial factors affecting the delivery. The simulation utilizes the ... -
TiNi shape memory alloy thin films for microactuator application
(2003-01)TiNi films were prepared by co-sputtering TiNi target and a separate Ti target. Crystalline structure and phase transformation behaviors of TiNi films were investigated. Results showed that TiNi films had fine grain size ... -
TiNi-based thin films for MEMS applications
(2004-01)In this paper, some critical issues and problems in the development of TiNi thin films were discussed, including preparation and characterization considerations, residual stress and adhesion, frequency improvement, fatigue ... -
Titration Microcalorimetry Study: Interaction of Drug and Ionic Microgel System
(2004-01)Doxorubicin (DOX) and Pluronic-PAA interaction was investigated using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). DOX/polymer interaction is governed primarily by electrostatic interaction. The uptake of DOX results in the ... -
Towards An Automated Approach to Hardware/Software Decomposition
(2003-01)We propose in this paper an algebraic approach to hard-ware/software partitioning in Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL). We explore a collection of algebraic laws for Verilog programs, from which we design a set ... -
Towards Grid-Wide Modeling and Simulation
(2005-01)Modeling and simulation permeate all areas of business, science and engineering. With the increase in the scale and complexity of simulations, large amounts of computational resources are required, and collaborative model ... -
Traditional Inventory Models in an E-Retailing Setting: A Two-Stage Serial System with Space Constraints
(2004-01)In an e-retailing setting, the efficient utilization of inventory, storage space, and labor is paramount to achieving high levels of customer service and company profits. To optimize the storage space and labor, a retailer ... -
A Trajectory Piecewise-Linear Approach to Model Order Reduction and Fast Simulation of Nonlinear Circuits and Micromachined Devices
(2002-01)In this paper we present an approach to the nonlinear model reduction based on representing the nonlinear system with a piecewise-linear system and then reducing each of the pieces with a Krylov projection. However, rather ... -
Transactions Everywhere
(2003-01)Arguably, one of the biggest deterrants for software developers who might otherwise choose to write parallel code is that parallelism makes their lives more complicated. Perhaps the most basic problem inherent in the ... -
