Enhanced Light Collection from Single Trapped Ions.
(2011)
Long-range transport of quantum information across a network is most readily achieved through the use of photons as the information carriers. The nodes of such a quantum network are most naturally a quantum memory or ...
Practical Strategic Reasoning with Applications in Market Games.
(2010)
Strategic reasoning is part of our everyday lives: we negotiate prices, bid in auctions, write contracts, and play games. We choose actions in these scenarios based on our preferences, and our beliefs about preferences ...
Re-evaluating and Exploring the Contributions of Constituency Grammar to Semantic Role Labeling.
(2009)
Since the seminal work of Gildea and Jurafsky (2000), semantic role labeling (SRL) researchers have been trying to determine the appropriate syntactic/semantic knowledge and statistical algorithms to tackle the challenges ...
Sequential Linear Programming Coordination Strategy for Deterministic and Probabilistic Analytical Target Cascading.
(2008)
Decision-making under uncertainty is particularly challenging in the case of multidisciplinary, multilevel system optimization problems. Subsystem interactions cause strong couplings, which may be amplified by uncertainty. ...
Rigorous Model and Simulations of the Kirkendall Effect Diffusion in Substitutional Binary Alloys.
(2009)
The Kirkendall effect stems from the difference between the exchange rates of the atomic species and vacancies in a substitutional alloy. Vacancies, which mediate diffusion, are generated and eliminated at their sources ...
Fabrication of Integrated Fluidic Systems and Methods to Perform Single-Molecule DNA Analysis.
(2008)
ABSTRACT
FABRICATION OF INTEGRATED FLUIDIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO PERFORM SINGLE-MOLECULE DNA ANALYSIS
by
Venkat Ram Dukkipati
Chair: Stella W. Pang
Stretching DNA from its coiled state into a linear form is an important ...
Essays on the Computation of Economic Equilibria and Its Applications.
(2009)
The computation of economic equilibria is a central
problem in algorithmic game theory. In this dissertation, we
investigate the existence of economic equilibria in several
markets and games, the complexity of computing ...
Investigating the Effects of Age and Exercise on Bone Composition and the Impact of Composition on Mechanical Integrity.
(2009)
Fractures are the most frequent health problem associated with bone and represent a significant clinical and economic burden. Clinically, fracture risk is diagnosed by low bone mass and interventions to reduce fracture ...
Biological Treatment of Perchlorate and Nitrate Contaminated Drinking Water - Optimization of System Performance Using Microbial Community Characterization.
(2008)
Among many strategies to solve water quality problems, environmental biotechnology provides attractive solutions to remove contaminants from drinking water sources in more sustainable ways than traditional methods. In ...
Magnetic Field Simulation and Mapping Based on Zeeman-split Laser-induced Fluorescence Spectra of Xenon in the Discharge Channel of a 5-6 kW Co-Axial Stationary-Plasma Hall Thrusters.
(2009)
We studied the effect of the Hall current’s induced magnetic field on the vacuum
field of coaxial Hall thrusters based on MagNet 6 simulation of a 5 kW thruster (P5)
and laser-induced fluorescence spectra taken at the exit ...
