XML queries are usually expressed by means of XPath expressions identifying portions of the selected documents. An XPath expression defines a way of navigating an XML tree and ret...
Parsing text to identify grammatical structure is a common task, especially in relation to programming languages and associated tools such as compilers. Parsers for context-free g...
In this paper we explore the use of a set of novel design metrics for characterizing the impact of gate oxide tunneling current in nanometer CMOS devices and perform Monte Carlo s...
Simplified soft tissue models used in surgical simulations cannot perfectly reproduce all material behaviors. In particular, many tissues exhibit the Poynting effect, which resul...
We present a novel selective blurring algorithm that mimics the optical distance blur effects that occur naturally in cameras and eyes. The proposed algorithm provides a realistic...
