Tardis: A Numerical Simulation Package For Drive Systems, W. Suwanwisoot, C. M. Ong Jan 1990

Tardis: A Numerical Simulation Package For Drive Systems, W. Suwanwisoot, C. M. Ong

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

TARDIS is a digital computer simulation package originally intended to simulate drive systems. Its versatility has proved to be very useful in other areas as well. It is designed to replace the functionality of analog computers so that the user who cannot afford to have one can use the program on a personal or mainframe computer. The author believes that it is one of the most efficient and accurate simulation programs of its kind at this point even though not all of its potential has been exploited to. the fullest. It can handle index 0 and 1 differential-algebraic systems with …


3-D Beamspace Ml Based Bearing Estimator Incorporating Frequency Diversity And Interference Cancellation, Ta-Sung Lee, Michael D. Zoltowski Jan 1990

3-D Beamspace Ml Based Bearing Estimator Incorporating Frequency Diversity And Interference Cancellation, Ta-Sung Lee, Michael D. Zoltowski

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The problem of low-angle radar tracking utilizing an array of antennas is considered. In the low-angle environment, echoes return from a low flying target via a specular path as well as a direct path. The problem is compounded by the fact that the two signals arrive within a beamwidth of each other and are usually fully correlated, or coherent. In addition, the SNR at each antenna element is typically low and only a small number of data samples, or snapshots, is available for processing due to the rapid movement of the target. Theoretical studies indicates that the Maximum Likelihood (ML) …

Free Radicals And The Etiology Of Colon Cancer, Charles F. Babbs Jan 1990

Free Radicals And The Etiology Of Colon Cancer, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

This hypothesis paper reviews diverse evidence suggesting that intracolonic production of oxygen radicals may play a role in carcinogenesis. The hypothesis began to evolve when the author made the chance discovery that 1/10,000 dilutions of feces generated detectable quantities of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (HO). The rate of HO formation, detected using DMSO as a molecular probe, was quite remarkable, corresponding to that which would be produced by over 10,000 rads of gamma irradiation per day, absorbed in the periphery of the fecal mass adjacent to the mucosa. The relatively high concentrations of iron in feces, together with the ability …


Accuracy And Precision Of Computer-Simulated Tissue Temperatures In Individual Human Intracranial Tumours Treated With Interstitial Hyperthermia, J A. Deford, Charles F. Babbs, U H. Patel, N E. Fearnot, J A. Marchosky, C J. Moran Jan 1990

Accuracy And Precision Of Computer-Simulated Tissue Temperatures In Individual Human Intracranial Tumours Treated With Interstitial Hyperthermia, J A. Deford, Charles F. Babbs, U H. Patel, N E. Fearnot, J A. Marchosky, C J. Moran

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Accurate knowledge of tissue temperature is necessary for effective delivery of clinical hyperthermia in the treatment of malignant tumours. This report compares computer-predicted versus measured intratumoral temperatures in 11 human subjects with intracranial tumours, treated with a conceptually simple 'conductive' interstitial hyperthermia system. Interstitial hyperthermia was achieved by the use of parallel arrays of implanted, electrically heated catheters. The tissue was warmed by thermal conduction and blood convection. Simulation of intratumoral temperatures was achieved by solving a modified bioheat transfer equation on a digital computer using a finite difference method. Comparison of intratumoral temperatures from simulations and measured values differed …


Hardware Barrier Synchronization: Static Barrier Mimd (Sbm), Matthew T. O'Keefe, Henry G. Dietz Jan 1990

Hardware Barrier Synchronization: Static Barrier Mimd (Sbm), Matthew T. O'Keefe, Henry G. Dietz

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this paper, we give the design, and performance analysis, of a new, highly efficient, synchronization mechanism called “Static Barrier MIMD” or “SBM.” Unlike traditional barrier synchronization, the proposed barriers are designed to facilitate the use of static (compile-time) code scheduling for eliminating some synchronizations. For this reason, our barrier hardware is more general than most hardware barrier mechanisms, allowing any subset of the processors to participate in each barrier. Since code scheduling typically operates on fine-grain parallelism, it is also vital that barriers be able to execute in a small number of clock ticks. The SBM is actually only …


Theoretical Basis For Controlling Minimal Tumor Temperature During Interstitial Conductive Heat Therapy, Charles F. Babbs, Neal E. Fearnot, J A. Marchosky, C J. Moran, James T. Jones, T D. Plantenga Jan 1990

Theoretical Basis For Controlling Minimal Tumor Temperature During Interstitial Conductive Heat Therapy, Charles F. Babbs, Neal E. Fearnot, J A. Marchosky, C J. Moran, James T. Jones, T D. Plantenga

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper describes simulation of steady-state intratumoral temperatures achieved by a simple modality of local heat therapy: interstitial treatment with parallel arrays of warmed, conductive heating elements. During “conductive heating” power is directly deposited only in the interstitial probes. Adjacent tissue is warmed by heat conduction. Simulations of interstitial conductive heating involved solution of the bioheat transfer equation on a digital computer using a finite difference model of the treated tissue. The simulations suggest that when the complete temperature distributions for conductive interstitial hyperthermia are examined in detail, substantial uniformity of the temperature distributions is evident. Except for a thin …

Optimal Code Scheduling For Multiple-Pipeline Processors, Ashar Nisar, Henry G. Dietz Jan 1990

Optimal Code Scheduling For Multiple-Pipeline Processors, Ashar Nisar, Henry G. Dietz

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Pipelining the functional units and memory interface of processors can result in shorter cycle times and dramatic increases in performance, but only if the pipeline latency can be hidden by other useful operations. The portion of pipeline latency which is not hidden results in an extension of the total execution time, either implemented by hardware interlocks or by compile-time insertion of NOPs (Null Operations). By rearranging instructions, it is possible to minimize the total pipelined execution time, but the problem of finding this optimal code schedule is well known to be NP-complete. In this paper, we describe a code scheduler …
