Given a group acting on a graph quasi-isometric to a tree, we give sufficent conditions for a pseudocharacter to be bushy. We relate this with the conditions studied by M. Bestvina and K. Fujiwara on their work on bounded cohomology and obtain some r...
Distributed network utility maximization (NUM) has received an increasing intensity of interest over the past few years. Distributed solutions (e.g., the primal-dual gradient method) have been intensively investigated under fading channels. As such d...
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for ubiquitous streaming like applications in data networks. In this paper, we concentrate on NUM-based rate allocation for streaming applications with the so-called S-curve utility functions. Due...
The concave utility in the Network Utility Maximization (NUM) problem is only suitable for elastic flows. However, the networks with the multiclass traffic, the utility of inelastic traffic is usually represented by the sigmoidal function which is a...
We construct a commutative version of the group ring and show that it allows one to translate questions about the normal generation of groups into questions about the generation of ideals in commutative rings. We demonstrate this with an alternative...
The notion of blossom in extended Chebyshev spaces offers adequate generalizations and extra-utilities to the tools for free-form design schemes. Unfortunately, such advantages are often overshadowed by the complexity of the resulting algorithms. In...
We report results of a sensitive Chandra ACIS-S observation of the classical T Tauri star RY Tau. Previous studies have shown that it drives a spectacular bipolar jet whose blueshifted component is traced optically along P.A. approximately 295 degree...
One scenario proposed to explain the million degrees solar corona is a finely-stranded corona where each strand is heated by a rapid pulse. However, such fine structure has neither been resolved through direct imaging observations nor conclusively sh...
The Fermi Large Area Telescope First Source Catalog (1FGL) provided spatial, spectral, and temporal properties for a large number of gamma-ray sources using a uniform analysis method. After correlating with the most-complete catalogs of source types...
A charge transfer (CT) model is introduced for strong acceptors like A = F4TCNQ that are ionized on surfaces at low coverage θ. Each A forms a CT dimer with a surface state S. Dipole-dipole repulsion grows as θ^(3/2) up to θ = 1 in a full monolaye...
We propose NEMO, a system for extracting organization names in the affiliation and normalizing them to a canonical organization name. Our parsing process involves multi-layered rule matching with multiple dictionaries. The system achieves more than 9...
This paper deals with HOW to analyze the requirements for setting up the WAN Optimizer. The criteria's that needs to be taken into account, the steps involved in the analysis of WAN optimization requirement. These entire analyses will give a complete...
We resolve the question of the existence of a finite 2-complex with the same fundamental group and Euler characteristic as a Klein bottle with a bubble, but homotopically distinct to it....
We present an optical/infrared study of the dense molecular cloud, L935, dubbed "The Gulf of Mexico", which separates the North America and the Pelican nebulae, and we demonstrate that this area is a very active star forming region. A wide-field imag...
The properties of RR Lyrae variables make them excellent probes of the formation and evolution of a stellar population. The mere presence of such stars necessitates an age greater than ~10 Gyr while their periods and amplitudes can be used to estimat...
AXTAR is a NASA MIDEX mission concept for X-ray timing of compact objects that combines very large collecting area, broadband spectral coverage, high time resolution, highly flexible scheduling, and an ability to respond promptly to time-critical tar...
We consider the 1D Expected Improvement optimization based on Gaussian processes having spectral densities converging to zero faster than exponentially. We give examples of problems where the optimization trajectory is not dense in the design space....
