PALM: Predicting Internet Network Distances Using Peer-to-Peer Measurements
(2004-01)Landmark-based architecture has been commonly adopted in the networking community as a mechanism to measure and characterize a host's location on the Internet. In most existing landmark based approaches, end hosts use the ... -
Particle Image Velocimetry Study on the Stripe Formation in Vertically Vibrated Granules
(2004-01)Recently, granules under vertical vibrations receive many attentions due to their importance in theoretical research and engineering application. In this paper, a two-dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system was ... -
Particle Migration of Quasi-Steady Flow in Concentrated Suspension for Powder Injection Molding
(2002-01)A hybrid FEM/FDM algorithm for particle migration of quasi-steady flow in concentrated suspension materials is proposed in this study. This hybrid FEM/FDM algorithm in which the planar variables, such as pressure field, ... -
Particle Transportation Using Programmable Electrode Arrays
(2007-01)This study presents a technique to manipulate particles in microchannels using arrays of individually excitable electrodes. These electrodes were energized sequentially to form a non-uniform electric field that moved along ... -
Partitioned Conduction Modes in Surface Integral Equation-Based Impedance Extraction
(2004-01)As integrated circuits operate at increasingly higher speed, methods are needed to handle wideband quasi-static and full wave EM analysis of distributed RLC impedances for package and on-chip interconnects. One particular ... -
Patterns of Product Development Interactions
(2002-01)Development of complex products and large systems is a highly interactive social process involving hundreds of people designing thousands of interrelated components and making millions of coupled decisions. Nevertheless, ... -
PeerDB-Peering into Personal Databases
(2003-01)In this talk, we will present the design and evaluation of PeerDB, a peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed data sharing system. PeerDB distinguishes itself from existing P2P systems in several ways. First, it is a full-fledge ... -
Performance Analysis of Metamaterials With Two-dimensional Isotropy
(2004-01)A two-dimensional isotropic metamaterials formed by crossed split-ring resonators (CSRRs) are studied in this paper. The effective characteristic parameters of this media are determined by quasi-static Lorentz theory. The ... -
Performance Analysis of Order Fulfillment for Low Demand Items in E-tailing
(2007-01)We study inventory allocation and order fulfillment policies among warehouses for low-demand SKUs at an online retailer. A large e-tailer strategically stocks inventory for SKUs with low demand. The motivations are to ... -
Performance of a Serial-Batch Processor System with Incompatible Job Families under Simple Control Policies
(2006-01)A typical example of a batch processor is the diffusion furnace used in wafer fabrication facilities (otherwise known as wafer fabs). In diffusion, silicon wafers are placed inside the furnace, and dopant is flown through ... -
Performance-Driven Microfabrication-Oriented Methodology for MEMS Conceptual Design with Application in Microfluidic Device Design
(2005-01)Performance and manufacturability are two important issues that must be taken into account during MEMS design. Existing MEMS design models or systems follow a process-driven design paradigm, that is, design starts from the ... -
Pharmaceutical Properties of Nanoparticulate Formulation Composed of TPGS and PLGA for Controlled Delivery of Anticancer Drug
(2004-01)A suitable management of the pharmaceutical property is needed and helpful to design a desired nanoparticulate delivery system, which includes the carrier nature, particle size and size distribution, morphology, surfactant ... -
Photo- and Thermoinduced Sol-Gel Transitions in Blends of Azobenzene Copolymers and Pluronic Surfactants
(2006-01)Novel self-assembling copolymers of 4-Methacryloyloxyazobenzene and NN-dimethylacrylamide (MOAB-DMA) exhibiting a pronounced photoviscosity effects in water are described. An optimum polymer architecture corresponding to ... -
Photonic Crystals: Numerical Predictions of Manufacturable Dielectric Composite Architectures
(2004-01)Photonic properties depend on both dielectric contrast in a microscopic composite and the arrangement of the microstructural components. No theory exists for direct prediction of photonic properties, and so progress relies ... -
Planning and Scheduling Decisions in Supply Chains with Multiple Supply Modes: An Integrated Approach
(2005-01)We address the problem of jointly determining shipment planning and scheduling decisions with the presence of multiple shipment modes. We consider long lead time, less expensive sea shipment mode, and short lead time but ... -
Planning Design Iterations
(2002-01)Companies developing new products have a wide variety of product development (PD) processes from which to choose. Each process offers a different method of iteration to manage risk. Companies must therefore consider the ... -
Plasma polymerization of C[subscript 4]F[subscript 8] thin film on high aspect ratio silicon molds
(2005-01)High aspect ratio polymeric micro-patterns are ubiquitous in many fields ranging from sensors, actuators, optics, fluidics and medical. Second generation PDMS molds are replicated against first generation silicon molds ... -
Plastic Relaxation In Single InᵡGa₁âᵡN/GaN Epilayers Grown On Sapphire
(2004-01)Plastic relaxation was observed in InᵡGa₁âᵡN/GaN epilayers grown on c-plane sapphire substrates. The relaxation obeys the universal hyperbolic relation between the strain and the reciprocal of the layer ... -
Playing is believing: the role of beliefs in multi-agent learning
(2003-01)We propose a new classification for multi-agent learning algorithms, with each league of players characterized by both their possible strategies and possible beliefs. Using this classification, we review the optimality of ... -
Poly-Si₁âxGex Film Growth for Ni Germanosilicided Metal Gate
