—This paper studies the cardiovascular response under heart failure condition supported by two types of ventricular assist devices (VADs): the positive displacement pump and the ...
The importance of networks of coupled oscillators is widely recognized. Such networks occur in biological systems like the heart, in chemical systems, in computational problems, a...
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...
In this paper, we consider semiconductor manufacturing processes that can be characterized by a diverse product mix, heterogeneous parallel machines, sequence-dependent setup time...
This paper presents an algorithm for tracking the left ventricle in echocardiographic sequences, using multiple models. The use of multiple dynamic models is appropriate since the...
