Moving HomePlug to Industrial Applications with Power-Line Communication Network
(2004-01)Home networking is becoming an attractive application not only for the Internet access but also for home automation. Being a high-speed and dominant standard presently, HomePlug has an important role in home LAN connecting ... -
MPEG-2 in a Stream Programming Language
(2006-01)Image and video codecs are prevalent in multimedia applications, ranging from embedded systems, to desktop computers, to high-end servers such as HDTV editing consoles. It is not uncommon however for developers create (from ... -
Multi-Disciplinary Analysis in Morphing Airfoils
(2003-01)Fully morphing wings allow the active change of the wing surface contours/wing configuration in flight enabling the optimum wing design for various flight regimes. These wing shape deformations are obtained by using smart ... -
Multi-Item Single-Vendor-Single-Buyer Problem with Consideration of Transportation Quantity Discount
(2006-01)This paper deals with the problem of shipping multiple commodities from a single vendor to a single buyer. Each commodity is assumed to be constantly consumed at the buyer, and periodically replenished from the vendor. ... -
A Multi-scale Model for Copper Dishing in Chemical-Mechanical Polishing
(2005-01)The present success in the manufacture of multi-layer interconnects in ultra-large-scale integration is largely due to the acceptable planarization capabilities of the chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process. In the ... -

Multiparameter Moment Matching Model Reduction Approach for Generating Geometrically Parameterized Interconnect Performance Models
(2003-01)In this paper we describe an approach for generating geometrically-parameterized integrated-circuit interconnect models that are efficient enough for use in interconnect synthesis. The model generation approach presented ... -
Multiple Input-Multiple Output Cycle-to-Cycle Control of Manufacturing Processes
(2003-01)Cycle-to-cycle control is a method for using feedback to improve product quality for processes that are inaccessible within a single processing cycle. This limitation stems from the impossibility or the prohibitively high ... -
Multivariate Perturbation of a Growth Factor-Cytokine Signalling Network Reveals Complex Systemic Responses in Glioblastoma Cells
(2007-01)Glioblastoma cells can evade TRAIL-induced apoptosis through various strategies involving the growth factor-activated MEK–MAPK/ERK and PI3K–Akt/PKB pro-survival signalling cascades. Although these signalling cascades have ... -
Nanocomposite Thin Films for both Mechanical and Functional Applications
(2004-01)The design methodology and realization of nanocomposite films aiming for mechanical (superhardness, toughness) and functional (optical, microelectronic) properties were discussed in this paper. Superhard TiCrCN and ... -
Nanocrystalline Ge Flash Memories: Electrical Characterization and Trap Engineering
(2005-01)Conventional floating gate non-volatile memories (NVMs) present critical issues for device scalability beyond the sub-90 nm node, such as gate length and tunnel oxide thickness reduction. Nanocrystalline germanium (nc-Ge) ... -
Nanoparticles for Targeted Drug Delivery
(2004-01)Nanoparticles were synthesized and modified for target drug delivery. The research involved the aqueous synthesis of near infrared (NIR) sensitive Au-Au<sub>2</sub>S nanoparticles. An anti-cancer drug (<i>cis-platin</i>) ... -
Native Point Defects in yttria as a High-Dielectric-Constant Gate Oxide Material: A First-Principles Study
(2006-01)Yttria (Y₂O₃) has become a promising gate oxide material to replace silicon dioxide in metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices. The characterization of native point defect in Y₂O₃ is essential to understand the behavior ... -
Near Infrared-Sensitive Nanoparticles for Targeted Drug Delivery
(2004-01)The invasive nature and undesirable side-effects related to conventional cancer therapy, such as surgery and chemotherapy, have led to the development of novel drug delivery systems (DDS). A minimally invasive DDS using ... -
A New Class of Nonionic Photosensitive Surfactants: Some Insights Concerning Conformations
(2005-01)We report on a new class of nonionic, photosensitive surfactants consisting of a polar di(ethylene oxide) head group attached to an alkyl spacer of between two and eight methylene groups, coupled through an ether linkage ... -
A New Class of Photoresponsive Surfactants
(2003-01)Recently, surface tension has been shown to be important in emerging high technologies, such as in pumping and control of flow in microfluidic devices, in microchemical analysis of complex fluids, and in rapid DNA screening, ... -
A New Constructive Method for the One-Letter Context-Free Grammars
(2004-01)Constructive methods for obtaining the regular grammar counterparts for some sub-classes of the context free grammars (cfg) have been investigated by many researchers. An important class of grammars for which this is always ... -
A new digital image correlation algorithm for whole-field displacement measurement
(2003-01)We have developed a new digital image correlation (DIC) algorithm for non-contact, two-dimensional, whole-field displacement and strain measurement. Relative to existing algorithms, our algorithm substantially reduces the ... -
