As highly parallel heterogeneous computers become commonplace, automatic parallelization of software is an increasingly critical unsolved problem. Continued progress on this problem will require large quantities of information ...

This paper describes two new types of winning sets in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), defined using variants of Schmidt’s game. These strong and absolute winning sets include many Diophantine sets of measure zero and first category, and ...

We derive the first closed-form optimal refinancing rule: Refinance when the current mortgage interest rate falls below the original rate by at least \(\frac{1}{ψ}\)[φ + W (− exp (−φ))]. In this formula W(.) is the Lambert ...

Replica molding with elastomeric polymers has been used routinely to replicate features less than 10 nm in size. Because the theoretical limit of this technique is set by polymer-surface interactions, atomic radii, and ...

This paper examines the factors that influence the quality of nanostructures fabricated by sectioning thin films with an ultramicrotome (“nanoskiving”). It surveys different materials (metals, ceramics, semiconductors, ...

Small scale explosive loading of sandwich panels with low relative density pyramidal lattice cores has been used to study the large scale bending and fracture response of a model sandwich panel system in which the core has ...

Wrinkling of thin stiff films on thick compliant elastomeric substrates subject to plane strain compression is considered for cases in which the substrate is pre-stretched prior to film attachment. Advanced wrinkling modes ...
