In this work we will examine several systems of swimmers with an increasing level of realism and sophistication. In several cases exact analytical solutions are found for the probability densities of such systems. For other ...

Finally, we describe parallel frequent subgraph mining on a database of multiple labeled graphs, using Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). In recent times, GPUs have emerged as a relatively cheap but powerful architecture ...

I seek to answer three questions about DIY biologists: how do they affirmatively refigure what it means to be a scientist; how do they differentially reproduce the contents and contexts of laboratories; and how do they ...

SSPM detectors can be studied and improved through electrical modeling of the diode and readout circuit to simulate, characterize, and predict their response for different geometries and configurations. An electrical model ...

Both problems described above are governed by the same system of elliptic PDEs that enforce mechanical equilibrium for an elastic material. In this thesis, we apply an optimization framework and treat the above two types ...

Presentation of an efficient GPU based N-Body octree construction algorithm for use on the MilkyWay@Home project based on parallel tree construction techniques outlined in Karras [2012]. Implementation of GPU based brute ...

A high-resolution characterization technique was developed based on existing polarized light microscopy techniques in concert with digital photography. This technique was employed to measure the residual stress near glass ...
