An improved method for register file verification
(2009-08)Register file logic verification historically involves comparing two human generated logic sources such as a VHDL code file and a circuit schematic for logic equivalence. This method is valid for most cases, however it ... -
Improved methods for phylogenetics
(2009-12)Phylogenetics is the study of evolutionary relationships. It is a scientific endeavour to discover history, and it is not easy. Massive amounts of data together with computationally difficult optimization problems mean ... -
Improved methods in statistical and first principles modeling for batch process control and monitoring
(2008-08)This dissertation presents several methods for improving statistical and first principles modeling capabilities, with an emphasis on nonlinear, unsteady state batch processes. Batch process online monitoring is chosen as ... -
Improved modeling of the steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process
(2013-05)The Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) Process involves the injection of steam through a horizontal well and the production of heavy oil through a lower horizontal well. Several authors have tried to model this process ... -
Improved oral bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs using rapid freezing processes
(2006-12)A growing number of therapeutic compounds currently being developed by pharmaceutical companies are poorly water soluble leading to limited and/or erratic bioavailability. The rate limiting step for absorption of these ... -
An improved panel method for the prediction of performance of ducted propellers
(2015-08)An improved perturbation potential based lower order panel method is applied to the three dimensional problems of flow around ducts and ducted propellers. One significant development of this method is the application of ... -
Improved petrophysical evaluation of consolidated calcareous turbidite sequences with multi-component induction, NMR, resistivity images, and core measurements
(2012-12)We introduce a new quantitative approach to improve the petrophysical evaluation of thinly bedded sand-shale sequences that have undergone extensive diagenesis. Formations under analysis consist of carbonate-rich clastic ... -
An Improved Photometric Calibration Of The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Imaging Data
(2008-02)We present an algorithm to photometrically calibrate wide-field optical imaging surveys, which simultaneously solves for the calibration parameters and relative stellar fluxes using overlapping observations. The algorithm ... -
Improved regulatory oversight using real-time data monitoring technologies in the wake of Macondo
(2014-08)As shown by the Macondo blowout, a deepwater well control event can result in loss of life, harm to the environment, and significant damage to company and industry reputation. Consistent adherence to safety regulations is ... -
Improved survival with initial MRSA therapy in high-risk community-onset pneumonia patients : application of a MRSA risk score
(2014-08)Community-onset (CO) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pneumonia is an evolving problem, and there is a great need for a reliable method to assess MRSA risk at hospital admission. A new MRSA prediction ... -
Improved sweep efficiency through seismic wave stimulation
(2012-08)Enhanced oil recovery as a result of earthquake events has been repeatedly observed and reported. The main advantage of a seismic wave-based EOR is that it is not costly and is easy to deploy. However, the method has not ... -
Improved testing and data analysis procedures for the Rolling Dynamic Deflectometer
(2010-12)A Rolling Dynamic Deflectometer (RDD) is a nondestructive testing device for determining continuous deflection profiles of pavements. Unlike discrete testing methods, the RDD performs continuous measurements. The ability ... -
Improved upscaling scheme for steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) and semi-analytical modeling of the SAGD rising phase
(2015-05)Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process commonly applied for heavy oil and bitumen recovery consists of two production phases: a steam rising phase and a spreading phase. Extensive research has been done on modeling ... -
An improved viscous-inviscid interactive method and its application to ducted propellers
(2013-08)A two-dimensional viscous-inviscid interactive boundary layer method is applied to three dimensional problems of flow around ducts and ducted propellers. The idea is to predict the effects of fluid viscosity on three ... -
Improved yttrium and zirconium abundances in metal-poor stars
(2012-01)We present new abundances of the lighter n-capture elements, Yttrium (Z=30) and Zirconium (Z=40) in the very metal-poor, r-process rich stars BD+17 3248 and HD 221170. Very accurate abundances were obtained by use of the ... -
An Improved, Bias-Reduced Probabilistic Functional Gene Network of Baker's Yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Public Library of Science, 2007-10-03)Background: Probabilistic functional gene networks are powerful theoretical frameworks for integrating heterogeneous functional genomics and proteomics data into objective models of cellular systems. Such networks provide ... -
The Improvement and Reform of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice in the United States (Statement of Shirley Chisholm)

Improvement in the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs via pulmonary delivery of nanoparticles
(2009-08)High throughput screening techniques that are routinely used in modern drug discovery processes result in a higher prevalence of poorly water-soluble drugs. Such drugs often have poor bioavailability issues due to their ... -
Improvement Of A Discrete Velocity Boltzmann Equation Solver With Arbitrary Post-Collision Velocities
(2009-12)We present a discrete velocity scheme which solves the Boltzmann equation and show numerical results for homogeneous relaxation problems. Although direct simulation of the Boltzmann equation can be efficient for transient ...
