In this paper, we present: 1) design of a single-rail energy-efficient 64-b Han–Carlson ALU, operating at 482 ps in 1.5 V, 0.18m bulk CMOS; 2) direct port of this ALU to 0.18m partially depleted SOI process; 3) SOI-optimal redesign of the ALU using a novel deep-stack quaternary-tree architecture; 4) margining for max-delay pushout due to reverse body bias in SOI designs; and 5) performance scal...

[1] This paper presents an ARTMAP neural network approach for burn detection in Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data using two methods: discrete and continuous classifications. The study area covers the states of Idaho and Montana in the United States, where extensive fire events took place during the months of July and August in the year 2000. The proposed approach differ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Fractional snow covered area Snow covered extent Downscaling Topography Hillslope scale Landsat NDSI Digital elevation models Snow remote sensing Watershed hydrology Accurate characterization of snow-covered area (SCA) and snow water equivalent (SWE) in complex terrain is needed to improve estimation of streamflow timing and volume, and is important for land surf...

Abstract. Accurate high-resolution actual evapotranspiration (ET) and gross primary production (GPP) information is essential for understanding the large-scale water carbon dynamics. However, substantial uncertainties exist in current ET GPP datasets China because of insufficient local ground measurements used model constraint. This study utilizes a water–carbon coupled model, Penman–Monteith–L...

————————————— DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION ————————————— • Administer oxaliplatin in combination with 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin every 2 weeks.

PURPOSE The primary objective of this phase I study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose for pemetrexed, alone and in combination with carboplatin, with concurrent radiotherapy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or esophageal cancer were treated every 21 days for two cycles. Regimen 1 was pemetrexed (200-600 mg/m(2)); re...

Hollow glass waveguides with bores tapered from 1000 to 500 microm and from 700 to 500 microm over a length of 2 m were coated with silver and silver iodide inner films. These waveguides were designed for low attenuation at the 10.6-microm CO2 laser wavelength. The straight losses, which were measured to be 0.8 and 1.6 dB/m, respectively, decreased when the guides were bent. A simple ray-trajec...
