Fall 2011
This thesis work presents a novel and efficient circuit similarity algorithm to detect topological similarity between two circuits. Targeting placement, our proposed circuit similarity algorithm, namely CSBP, is able to significantly accelerate placement based on this similarity. Moreover,...

Technical report TR10-04. This paper describes a novel and fast placement algorithm for field programmable gate array (FPGA) design space exploration. The proposed algorithm generates the placement based on the topological similarity between two configurations (netlists) in the design space....

With the increasing complexity and capacity of modern Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), there is a growing demand for efficient FPGA computer-aided design (CAD) tools, particularly at the placement stage. While some previous works, such as RLPlace, have explored the efficacy of single-state...

Large articular cartilage defects have proven difficult to treat and often result in osteoarthritis of the affected joint. Cryopreservation of articular cartilage can provide an increased supply of tissues for osteochondral allograft but cryoprotective agents are required; however, few studies...

This thesis develops three major essays on Arbitrage Theory, Market’s Viabil- ity and Informational Markets. The first essay (Chapter 3) elaborates the exact connections among the No-Unbounded-Profit-with-Bounded-Risk (called NUPBR hereafter) condition, the existence of the numeraire portfolio,...

Experimental evidence for the rapid evolution of behavioral canalization in natural populations
Download2009
Lynch, B.R., Trussell, G.C., Palmer, A.R., Edgell, T.C.
Canalization—the evolutionary loss of the capacity of organisms to develop different phenotypes in different environments— is an evolutionary phenomenon suspected to occur widely, although examples in natural populations are elusive. Because behavior is typically a highly flexible component of an...

The worldwide biodiversity crisis has intensified the need to better understand how biodiversity and human disturbance are related. Yet this relationship lacks both consensus in theoretical expectations and consistency in observed empirical patterns. I present one of the largest extent studies...

Linking occurrence and fitness to persistence: habitat-based approach for endangered greater sage-grouse
Download2007
Detailed empirical models predicting both species occurrence and fitness across a landscape are necessary to understand processes related to population persistence. Failure to consider both occurrence and fitness may result in incorrect assessments of habitat importance leading to inappropriate...

Boucher, Y., Tarr, C.L., Cordero, O.X., Takemura, A., Schliep, K., Hunt, D.E., Polz, M.F., Lopez, P., Bapteste, E.
Vibrio cholerae represents both an environmental pathogen and a widely distributed microbial species comprised of closely related strains occurring in the tropical to temperate coastal ocean across the globe (Colwell RR, Science 274:2025–2031, 1996; Griffith DC, Kelly-Hope LA, Miller MA, Am. J....

A major barrier to reclamation after oil sands mining is lack of commercially available, diverse native plant seeds and propagules for revegetation. Potential of LFH (forest floor material) developed on coarse textured soil for establishing native plants and how salvage, placement and storage...
