A recent, promising approach to identifying a configuration of a discrete graphical model with highest probability (termed MAP inference) is to reduce the problem to finding a maximum weight stable set (MWSS) in a derived weighted graph, which, if perfect, allows a solution to be found in polynomial time. Weller and Jebara (2013) investigated the class of binary pairwise models where this metho...

We have discovered a highly regioselective aminofluorination of cyclopropanes. Remarkably, four unique sets of conditions-two photochemical, two purely chemical-generated the same aminofluorinated adducts in good to excellent yields. The multiple, diverse ways in which the reaction could be initiated provided valuable clues that led to the proposal of a "unifying" chain propagation mechanism be...

The design of released microstructures depends on accurate knowledge of residual stresses and associated elastic constants. The MIT-developed material test procedure, M-Test, uses the variation of pull-in voltage with beam length to extract residual stress and elastic modulus from in-situ test structures. This thesis reports a fully automated computer-microvision procedure that automatically de...

County Government Information Portal Using ArcIMS Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Michael Shean, Eric Weller Public access to county government information has traditionally required citizens to visit multiple locations. This process can often be time consuming for both the public and government staff, who must respond to their inquiries. However, Internet portals are now being suc...

The advent of the electronic age has really facilitated immediate, rapid exchange of information. This development revolutionised the exchange of information and networking amongst colleagues in all scientific disciplines including veterinary orthopaedics, as well as between readers, contributors and referees of VCOT. However, some barriers to this easy communication that still remain are forei...

diffusivity equation commonly used for pressure distribution prediction in porous media results from substituting equation of state and continuity equation in navier-stokes momentum equation. from mathematical point of view this equation format shows infinite propagation speed for pressure pulse through porous media, which is physically impossible. this issue may caused by numerous assumptions ...
