The number of instrumental parameters controlling modern analytical apparatus can be substantial, and varying them systematically to optimize a particular chromatographic separation, for example, is out of the question because of the astronomical number of combinations that are possible (i.e., the "search space" is very large). However, heuristic methods, such as those based on evolutionary com...

Analytical protocols for normalization of artifacts and signal quality control are crucial in the design of intensity-based imaging optodes. In this study, we demonstrate how the time correlated pixel-by-pixel calibration (TCPC) technique could be used to predict analytical sensitivity, limit of detection (LOD) and determination of signal variation (relative standard deviation, R.S.D.) at a pix...

Recent years have seen significant research in finding closed form expressions for the delay of the RLC interconnect which improves upon the Elmore delay model. However, several of these formulae assume a step excitation. But in practice, the input waveform does have a non zero time of flight. There are few works reported so far which do consider the ramp inputs but lacks in the explicit nature...

In recent years, size of VLSI circuits is dramatically grown and layout generation of current circuits has become a dominant task in design flow. Standard cell placement is an effective stage of physical design and quality of placement affects directly on the performance, power consumption and signal immunity of design. Placement can be performed analytically or heuristically. Analytical placer...

This paper introduces an approach for automatic parallelization of unequally-spaced convolutions on chip multiprocessors (CMPs). CMPs are very promising candidates for digital processing in signal and image systems with high throughput and low power consumption, compared to uniprocessor based architectures. As CMPs are emerging and evolving in increasing diversity and complexity, automated para...

The nonlinear process of stimulated Raman scattering is important for silicon photonics as it enables optical amplification and lasing. To understand the dynamics of silicon Raman amplifiers (SRAs), a numerical approach is generally employed, even though it provides little insight into the contribution of different SRA parameters to the signal amplification process. In this paper, we solve the ...

Signal processing on graphs extends signal processing concepts and methodologies from the classical signal processing theory to data indexed by general graphs. For a bandlimited graph signal, the unknown data associated with unsampled vertices can be reconstructed from the sampled data by exploiting the spatial relationship of graph signal. In this paper, we propose a generalized analytical fra...
