It is well recognized that data cubing often produces huge outputs. Two popular efforts devoted to this problem are (1) iceberg cube, where only significant cells are kept, and (2)closed cube, where a group of cells which ...

This thesis focuses on the analysis of cable noise in impedance measurements. Specifically, the focus is on cables being developed for embedded sensing applications. In many applications, such as torque sensing and ...

Design complexity and limited power budget are causing the number of cores on the same chip to grow very rapidly. The wide availability of Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs) is enabling the design of inexpensive, shared-memory ...

Memory model design is a major part of any modern processor architecture. There are many design choices and tradeoffs to be considered, and these often need to be tightly coupled to the processing unit's arcitecure. The ...

To recompute from scratch, cache, or maintain a running-total is a database optimization question. The best answer depends in part upon usage patterns. For example, is total accessed frequently, or is the underlying table ...

Broad band gain on the B(--->)X bands of ZnI and CdI has been obtained in 13 and 25 cm active length, UV-preionized, high temperature (440(DEGREES)C), transverse discharge devices. With a 50 cm active length device, ...

In this thesis we calculate the Drell-Yan cross-section for the production of massive muon pairs at moderate values of q(,(PERP))('2). We do this in several theories, including the important case of Quantum Chromodynamics. ...
