The Meyer Sound Multi Acoustic Prediction Program (MAPP) is an ongoing research program to develop and distribute sophisticated software for accurately modeling the acoustic interaction of loudspeakers. Currently, we use a far-field model of acoustic interaction, based on the empirically measured far–field polar patterns of loudspeakers. Using a rotation device in an anechoic chamber, we positi...

Multi-agent path planning on grid maps is a challenging problem and has numerous real-life applications. Running a centralized, systematic search such as A* is complete and cost-optimal but scales up poorly in practice, since both the search space and the branching factor grow exponentially in the number of mobile units. Decentralized approaches, which decompose a problem into several subproble...

-To test the identity of human tumour clonogenic cells and stem cells, a procedure was developed to allow quantitation of self-renewal capacity of human ovarian carcinoma clonogenic cells. Primary colonies grown from malignant effusions of 10 patients were disaggregated and replated; secondary colonies were observed to be similar to primary colonies in size, morphology and culture requirements....

In this technical report, we illustrate how optical devices and systems are formulated and implemented in the Berkeley Model and Algorithm Prototyping Platform (MAPP). With examples and their code snapshots, this report documents the current structure and capabilities of MAPP’s optical modules. It is also useful as a quick-start guide for new users working with optical modelling and simulation ...

The Local Public Health System Assessment (LPHSA) in Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP), and the Local Tool of the National Public Health Performance Standards Program (LT/NPHPSP)--which are one in the same-attempt to assess the capacity to provide the essential public health services. Both tools have been utilized in various public health practice settings; however,...

To date diamond films grown with the combustion technique have used either acetylene or, rarely, ethylene as the fuel. However, there are barriers to large scale commercialization of the combustion technique using either fuel. For example, acetylene is relatively expensive and difficult to handle, while the use of ethylene gives relatively low growth rates. In this letter we propose replacing a...
