Improved O(N) neighbor list method using domain decomposition and data sorting
(2004-01)The conventional Verlet table neighbor list algorithm is improved to reduce the number of unnecessary inter-atomic distance calculations in molecular simulations involving large amount of atoms. Both of the serial and ... -
Improving Data Quality Through Effective Use of Data Semantics
(2004-01)Data quality issues have taken on increasing importance in recent years. In our research, we have discovered that many “data quality” problems are actually “data misinterpretation” problems – that is, problems with data ... -
Increasing and Detecting Memory Address Congruence
(2003-01)A static memory reference exhibits a unique property when its dynamic memory addresses are congruent with respect to some non-trivial modulus. Extraction of this congruence information at compile-time enables new classes ... -
Increasing The Odds Of Hit Iidentification By Screening Against Receptor Homologs
(2003-01)Increasing the odds of hit identification in screening is of significance for drug discovery. The odds for finding a hit are closely related either to the diversity of libraries or to the availability of focused libraries. ... -
Incremental Verification of Timing Constraints for Real-Time Systems
(2005-01)Testing constraints for real-time systems are usually verified through the satisfiability of propositional formulae. In this paper, we propose an alternative where the verification of timing constraints can be done by ... -
The Influence of Adjacent Segment on the Reliability of Cu Dual Damascene Interconnects
(2005-01)Three terminal âdotted-I’ interconnect structures, with vias at both ends and an additional via in the middle, were tested under various test conditions. Mortalities (failures) were found in right segments with jL value ... -
InGaAsN/GaAs Quantum-well Laser Diodes
(2004-01)GaAs-based InGaAsN/GaAs quantum well is found to be very sensitive to growth conditions and ex-situ annealing processes. Annealing could drastically increase the optical quality of GaAs-based InGaAsN/GaAs quantum well. As ... -
The interfacial reaction of Ni on (100) Si₁âxGex (x=0, 0.25) and (111) Ge
(2003-01)The interfacial reaction of Ni with Si, Si₀.₇₅Ge₀.₂₅, and Ge at 400°C has been investigated. A uniform epitaxial NiSi film was obtained at 400°C for Ni-Silicidation on Si using rapid thermal annealing method. Similarly, ... -
The Interplay of Ranks of Submatrices
(2004-01)A banded invertible matrix T has a remarkable inverse. All "upper" and "lower" submatrices of T⁻¹ have low rank (depending on the bandwidth in T). The exact rank condition is known, and it allows fast multiplication by ... -
The Interplay of Web Aggregation and Regulation
(2003-01)The development of web technology has led to the emergence of web aggregation, a service that collects existing web data and turns them into more useful information. We review the development of both comparison and ... -
An Interpolative Analytical Cache Model with Application to Performance-Power Design Space Exploration
(2005-01)Caches are known to consume up to half of all system power in embedded processors. Co-optimizing performance and power of the cache subsystems is therefore an important step in the design of embedded systems, especially ... -
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 ... -
