Spring and summer contrast in new particle formation over nine forest areas...
Recent laboratory chamber studies indicate a significant role for highly oxidized low-volatility organics in new particle formation (NPF), but the actual role of these highly...- publication PDF

Assimilation of semi-qualitative observations with a stochastic ensemble...
The ensemble Kalman filter assumes observations to be Gaussian random variables with a pre-specified mean and variance. In practice, observations may also have detection limits,...- publication PDF

A dynamic congestion management system for InfiniBand networks
While the InfiniBand link-by-link flow control helps avoid packet loss, it unfortunately causes the effects of congestion to spread through a network. Flows whose paths do not...- publication PDF
