In life sciences, light microscopy is used to study specimens. On the organism-level a bright-field representation present an overview for the whole shape of a specimen; the organ-level fluorescent staining representation supports in the interpretation of ...

Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration (DPR) allows modification of certain parts of an FPGA while the rest of the device continues to operate and remains unaffected by the partial reprogramming. DPR for FPGA-based designs is an increasingly important feature ...

A novel particle swarm optimization algorithm for multi-objective optimization (MOO) based on fuzzy velocity updating strategy is developed and implemented in this paper. The proposed algorithm incorporates fuzzy velocity updating strategy, which can ...

According to simulation analysis of the advanced integral equation model (AIEM), there is a good linear relationship between emissivity and soil moisture under conditions of given roughness. The normalized difference of emissivities at 19.35 GHz and ...

A new algorithm for learning principal curves with definite mathematical representations is proposed based on combining the principal component analysis (PCA) and back-propagation (BP) network. The algorithm successfully turns an unsupervised learning ...

An automatic mathematical expression (ME) understanding system is presented. This system is consisted of three procedures, i.e., pre-processing, symbol segmentation, structure analysis among symbols within the ME. In symbol segmentation procedure, a ...

In manufacturing control, machine scheduling research has mostly dealt with problems either without maintenance or with deterministic maintenance when no failure can occur. This can be unrealistic in practical settings. In this work, an experimental ...

A parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) is proposed for the solution of two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problems involving unknown thermophysical material properties. Experimental results show that the proposed PGA is a feasible and effective ...

The research presented in this paper deals with parallel explicit finite element simulation with domain decomposition for seismic response analysis of shield tunnel, which is the non-linear and time dependent behaviour of complex structures in ...

The bandwidth-intensive and long-lived nature of high quality digital video make it a challenging problem to transmit such video over the Internet. In this paper, we consider the problem of streaming a set of popular videos from a remote server to a ...

In order to develop a cheap, efficient and reliable diagnostic tool for the detection of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), sounds from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are recorded using a pair of microphone inserted in the auditory canals. ...

Summary form only given. For bonded joints containing certain types of adhesives, residual stresses may become more tensile following exposure to cyclic temperature conditions. The more tensile state increases the likelihood of debonding. Significant ...

Measurement of the viscosity of commercial underfill mixtures has been conducted with a rotating parallel disk rheometer. Capillary flow of the mixtures into a channel formed by parallel glass walls is used to simulate the underfill process. The mixture ...

This paper describes the integration of nested data parallelism into Fortran 90. Unlike flat data parallelism, nested data parallelism directly provides means for handling irregular data structures and certain forms of control parallelism, such as ...

Various parallel Fortran languages have been developed over the years. The research work in creating this Parallel Fortran Family has made significant contributions to parallel programming language design and implementation. In this paper, various ...

A novel approach to processing interferometric moiré images, called computational Fourier transform moiré, has been developed. The essential principle of this technique is to automatically calculate a whole-field strain from digitized images of ...

Thermal deformations that result from mismatches of coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) in Solder Ball Connect (SBC) assemblies were investigated. The CTE mismatches of the materials and the components in the package have both macro and micro ...

Multilayer printed wiring boards are widely used in electronic packaging assemblies. One critical reliability concern is the thermal-mechanical strains induced by temperature change. For example, the in-plane strain affects the thermal fatigue life of ...
