Spatio-temporal pattern of viral meningitis in Michigan, 1993-2001
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2005-05)
To characterize Michigan’s high viral meningitis incidence rates, 8,803 cases from 1993–2001 were analyzed for standard epidemiological indices, geographic distribution, and spatio-temporal clusters. Blacks and infants ...
How Many Timesteps for a Cycle? Analysis of the Wisdom-Holman Algorithm
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Swets & Zeitlinger ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-03)
The Wisdom-Holman algorithm is an effective method for numerically solving nearly integrable systems. It takes into account the exact solution of the integrable part. If the nearly integrable system is the solar system, ...
Emerging and vector-borne diseases: Role of high spatial resolution and hyperspectral images in analyses and forecasts
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2002-03)
Many infectious diseases that are emerging or transmitted by arthropod vectors have a strong link to landscape features. Depending on the source of infection or ecology of the transmitting vector, micro-habitat characteristics ...
An Efficient Synchronization Mechanism for Mirrored Game Architectures
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-05)
Existing online multiplayer games typically use a client-server model, which introduces added latency as well as a single bottleneck and single point of failure to the game. Distributed multiplayer games minimize latency ...
Automatic Design of Application Specific Instruction Set Extensions Through Dataflow Graph Exploration
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-12)
General-purpose processors are often incapable of achieving the challenging cost, performance, and power demands of high-performance applications. To meet these demands, most systems employ a number of hardware accelerators ...
Editorial—A Survey of Research Questions for Intelligent Information Systems in Education
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-01)
Education is an application domain in which many research questions from Intelligent Information Systems may prove their worth. We discuss three themes in this editorial: distributed education and learner modeling, semantic ...
Word Spotting in Bitmapped Fax Documents
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-05)
Images and signals may be represented by forms invariant to time shifts, spatial shifts, frequency shifts, and scale changes. Advances in time-frequency analysis and scale transform techniques have made this possible. ...
Improving Gate-Level Simulation of Quantum Circuits
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-10)
Simulating quantum computation on a classical computer is a difficult problem. The matrices representing quantum gates, and the vectors modeling qubit states grow exponentially with an increase in the number of qubits. ...
Higher knowledge for higher aspirations
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005)
With escalating expectations and opportunities for HR professionals to add greater value comes the mandate for greater knowledge about the fundamental driving forces of business. Business leaders and employees increasingly ...
Spatial process and data models: Toward integration of agent-based models and GIS
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2005-05)
The use of object-orientation for both spatial data and spatial process models facilitates their integration, which can allow exploration and explanation of spatial-temporal phenomena. In order to better understand how ...
