The vast majority of the articles we h...

In one proposed use of digital watermarks, the owner of a document D sells slightly diierent documents, D 1 ; D 2 ; : : : to each buyer; if a buyer posts his/her document D i to the web, the owner can identify the source of the leak. More general attacks are however possible in which k buyers create some composite document D ; the goal of the owner is to identify at least one of the conspirator...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While working on my Ph.D. at Georgia Tech and Michigan, I have received a great deal of support from many different people. My degree would not have been possible without this support. I would like to begin by thanking my two dissertation advisors, Dr. Ozlem Ergun and Dr. Chip White. Their guidance and encouragement was constant and unwavering. They helped open the door for me ...

Fixed bed reactors play an important role in converting solid wastes to high-quality products. The wastes, as well the corresponding catalysts, are often made into cylindrical particles. However, research on drag force for particles is still rarely reported. In this work, fixed porosity was firstly predicted with unresolved CFD-DEM method and validated against experimental data. Then, Ergun mod...

lemon is one of the most important citrus fruit and is consumed as fresh and dry. in this study the effect of fruit moisture content on the size, sphericity, geometric mean diameters and kernel density were studied. the bulk density and porosity were also evaluated in three different arrangements. airflow resistance is a fundamental parameter for designing an efficient drying and aeration syste...

In this study, using the lattice Boltzmann method, we simulate soot accumulation in porous media to examine the particle trap in a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The porous media are numerically formed for different inner structure with given porosity. The porous structure similar to the real sample, Ni-Cr metal, can be obtained, where the pressure fields in both cases are almost the same. In...

We describe optimal protocols for a class of mathematical models for tumor anti-angiogenesis for the problem of minimizing the tumor volume with an a priori given amount of vessel disruptive agents. The family of models is based on a biologically validated model by Hahnfeldt et al. and includes a modification by Ergun et al, but also provides two new variations that interpolate the dynamics for...
