Defect-Free Plastic Deformation Through Dimensionality Reduction And Self-Annihilation Of Topological Defects In Crystalline Solids, Yipeng Gao, Yongfeng Zhang, Larry K. Aagesen, Jianguo Yu, Min Long, Yunzhi Wang

Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

As a signature of symmetry-breaking processes, the generation and annihilation of topological defects (domain walls, strings, etc.) are of great interest in condensed matter physics and cosmology. Here we propose a distinctive self-organization process through phase transitions, in which all the generated topological defects are dimensionality reduced and self-annihilated. In crystalline solids, such a unique mechanism allows a perfect single crystal after plastic deformation, which originates from the coupling of different types of broken symmetries.


Handwriting Recognition Of Bangla And Similar Scripts, Nishatul Majid Jun 2018

Handwriting Recognition Of Bangla And Similar Scripts, Nishatul Majid

2018 Graduate Student Showcase

This research is about offline Bangla handwriting text recognition. Here we introduce a publicly accessible dataset, as well as a basic character recognition scheme. The dataset contains pages with a 104 word essay and a collection of 84 isolated alpha-numeric characters. All the components in the pages are tagged with the associated ground truth information. The character recognition scheme presented here uses zonal pixel counts, structural strokes and bag of features modeled with grid points using U-SURF descriptor as features. The maximum classification accuracy we obtain is 96.8% using an SVM classifier with a cubic kernel.


Evaluating The Presence Of A Victim Cache On An Arm Processor, Lakshmi Vidya Peri Sep 2013

Evaluating The Presence Of A Victim Cache On An Arm Processor, Lakshmi Vidya Peri

Computer Science Graduate Projects and Theses

Mobile processor is a CPU designed to save power. It is found in mobile computers and cell phones. A CPU chip, designed for portable computers, is typically housed in a smaller chip package, but more importantly, in order to run cooler, it uses lower voltages than its desktop counterpart and has more "sleep mode" capability. A mobile processor can be throttled down to different power levels and/or sections of the chip can be turned off entirely when not in use. ARM is a 32-bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA). The relative simplicity of ARM processors makes …
