Extraction & Processing Division: Activities and Updates

Self timed division and square-root extraction

This paper describes a self-timed integrated circuit for division and square-root extraction. First it concentrates on the development and the proof of a new mathematical algorithm. Then the design methodology and the architecture of a self-timed circuit implementing a simplified version of the algorithm is presented. The algorithm relies on two functional blocks, each simple enough to be fully...

Pig Squeal: Bridging Batch and Stream Processing Using Incremental Updates

Title of dissertation: Pig Squeal: Bridging Batch and Stream Processing Using Incremental Updates James Holmes Lampton, Jr., Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Professor Ashok Agrawala Department of Computer Science As developers shift from batch MapReduce to stream processing for better latency, they are faced with the dilemma of changing tools and maintaining multiple code b...

Optimum conditions for protein extraction from tuna processing by-products using isoelectric solubilization and precipitation processes

The by-product from tuna processing is a potential source of edible protein. Therefore, it is very important to extract protein from such raw materials for human food. In this study the optimum pH for protein extraction from tuna by-products was optimized by using isoelectric solubilization and precipitation processes. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the single factor model were used...

Differential Object Extraction Methods for Automated Gis Updates

In modern geospatial applications object extraction becomes increasingly part of larger cycles of GIS updates. In such update cycles, the objective is to compare new information to older one, and to identify changes that occurred in the meantime. In this paper we present an image-based GIS updating framework and corresponding image analysis algorithms developed by our group to automate GIS upda...
