The application of diode-laser-pumped tunable IR sources to trace gas detection in air is discussed. The design and technology issues of CW tunable mid-infrared difference-frequency generation are addressed. Feasibility ...

In localizing high-frequency tonal signals in the horizontal plane, the lateral superior olive (LSO) encodes the interaural level differences (ILD), the crucial cue for azimuthal angle extraction at some nuclei more central ...

In this thesis, we generalize the classical discrete wavelet transform, and construct wavelet transforms that are shift-invariant, time-varying, undecimated, and signal dependent. The result is a set of powerful and efficient ...

We compared the message passing library Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) with the distributed shared memory system TreadMarks, on networks of workstations. We presented the performance of nine applications, including Water ...

A new membrane model for mammalian nerve fibers has been developed. The membrane model utilizes new characterizations for delayed-rectifier currents, and adds an inwardly-rectifying potassium channel as well as a ...

A theory of information flow through sensory nervous systems is formulated as the representation of a finite number of events by a set of parallel point process channels with limited signaling sets. As a balance among ...

This thesis describes the use of the genetic algorithm to facilitate the design process of a fuzzy logic based controller. The basic mechanics of both the fuzzy logic control system and the genetic algorithm are presented ...
