Physics Faculty Publications
We compare Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) magnetometer/electron reflectometer data with results from a B field–dependent kinetic transport code for ‘‘superthermal’’ electrons. The photoelectrons created on crustal field loops, when they are on the dayside, allow for the exploration of the magnetic topology and the upper atmospheric density structure. A case study of a typical orbit of the MGS satellite through the strong crustal field region in the southern hemisphere of Mars is examined. The results indicate that the low solar wind dynamic pressure during the selected orbit allowed for the expansion of the crustal field line to relatively high altitudes. …
Fabrication And Characterization Of N-Zno/P-Algan Heterojunction Light-Emitting Diodes On 6h-Sic Substrates, Ya I. Alivov, E. V. Kalinina, A. E. Cherenkov, David C. Look, B. M. Ataev, A. K. Omaev, M. V. Chukichev, D. M. Bagnall

Physics Faculty Publications
We report on the fabrication of n-ZnO/p-AlGaN heterojunction light-emitting diodes on 6H-SiC substrates. Hydride vapor phase epitaxy was used to grow p-type AlGaN, while chemical vapor deposition was used to produce the n-type ZnO layers. Diode-like, rectifying I-V characteristics, with threshold voltage ~3.2 V and low reverse leakage current ~10-7 A, are observed at room temperature. Intense ultraviolet emission with a peak wavelength near 389 nm is observed when the diode is forward biased; this emission is found to be stable at temperatures up to 500 K and shown to originate from recombination within the ZnO.

Semantics is seen as the key ingredient in the next phase of the Web infrastructure as well as the next generation of information systems applications. In this context, we review some of the reservations expressed about the viability of the Semantic Web. We respond to these by identifying a Semantic Technology that supports the key capabilities also needed to realize the Semantic Web vision, namely representing, acquiring and utilizing knowledge. Given that scalability is a key challenge, we briefly review our observations from developing three classes of real world applications and corresponding technology components: search/browsing, integration, and analytics. We distinguish …

Validating And Refining Clusters Via Visual Rendering, Keke Chen, Ling Liu
Validating And Refining Clusters Via Visual Rendering, Keke Chen, Ling Liu
Kno.e.sis Publications
The automatic clustering algorithms are known to work well in dealing with clusters of regular shapes, e.g. compact spherical/elongated shapes, but may incur higher error rates when dealing with arbitrarily shaped clusters. Although some efforts have been devoted to addressing the problem of skewed datasets, the problem of handling clusters with irregular shapes is still in its infancy, especially in terms of dimensionality of the datasets and the precision of the clustering results considered. Not surprisingly, the statistical indices works ineffective in validating clusters of irregular shapes, too. We address the problem of clustering and validating arbitrarily shaped clusters with …
Evidence Of The Zn Vacancy Acting As The Dominant Acceptor In N-Type Zno, F. Tuomisto, V. Ranki, K. Saarinen, David C. Look
Evidence Of The Zn Vacancy Acting As The Dominant Acceptor In N-Type Zno, F. Tuomisto, V. Ranki, K. Saarinen, David C. Look
Physics Faculty Publications
We have used positron annihilation spectroscopy to determine the nature and the concentrations of the open volume defects in as-grown and electron irradiated (Eel=2 MeV, fluence 6×1017 cm-2) ZnO samples. The Zn vacancies are identified at concentrations of [VZn]≃2×1015 cm-3 in the as-grown material and [VZn]≃2×1016 cm-3 in the irradiated ZnO. These concentrations are in very good agreement with the total acceptor density determined by temperature dependent Hall experiments. Thus, the Zn vacancies are dominant acceptors in both as-grown and irradiated ZnO.

The design and construction of domain specific ontologies and taxonomies requires allocation of huge resources in terms of cost and time. These efforts are human intensive and we need to explore ways of minimizing human involvement and other resources. In the biomedical domain, we seek to leverage resources such as the UMLS1 Metathesaurus and NLP-based applications such as MetaMap2 in conjunction with statistical clustering techniques, to (partially) automate the process. This is expected to be useful to the team involved in developing MeSH and other biomedical taxonomies to identify gaps in the existing taxonomies, and to be able to quickly …
Semantic E-Workflow Composition, Jorge Cardoso, Amit P. Sheth
Semantic E-Workflow Composition, Jorge Cardoso, Amit P. Sheth
Kno.e.sis Publications
Systems and infrastructures are currently being developed to support Web services. The main idea is to encapsulate an organization's functionality within an appropriate interface and advertise it as Web services. While in some cases Web services may be utilized in an isolated form, it is normal to expect Web services to be integrated as part of workflow processes. The composition of workflow processes that model e-service applications differs from the design of traditional workflows, in terms of the number of tasks (Web services) available to the composition process, in their heterogeneity, and in their autonomy. Therefore, two problems need to …

Exact Multiplicity For Periodic Solutions Of Duffing Type, Hongbin Chen, Yi Li, Xiaojie Hou
Exact Multiplicity For Periodic Solutions Of Duffing Type, Hongbin Chen, Yi Li, Xiaojie Hou
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
In this paper, we study the following Duffing-type equation:
x″+cx′+g(t,x)=h(t),
where g(t,x) is a 2π-periodic continuous function in t and concave–convex in x, and h(t) is a small continuous 2π-periodic function. The exact multiplicity and stability of periodic solutions are obtained.

Observation Of 430 Nm Electroluminescence From Zno/Gan Heterojunction Light-Emitting Diodes, Ya I. Alivov, J. E. Van Nostrand, David C. Look, M. V. Chukichev, B. M. Ataev
Physics Faculty Publications
In this work, we report on the growth, fabrication, and device characterization of wide-band-gap heterojunction light-emitting diodes based on the n-ZnO/p-GaN material system. The layer structure is achieved by first growing a Mg-doped GaN film of thickness 1 μm on Al2O3(0001) by molecular-beam epitaxy, then by growing Ga-doped ZnO film of thickness 1 μm by chemical vapor deposition on the p-GaN layer. Room-temperature electroluminescence in the blue-violet region with peak wavelength 430 nm is observed from this structure under forward bias. Light–current characteristics of these light-emitting diodes are reported, and a superlinear …

Remote Hydrogen Plasma Processing Of Zno Single Crystal Surfaces, Yuri M. Strzhemechny, John Nemergut, Phillip E. Smith, Junjik Bae, David C. Look, Leonard J. Brillson
Physics Faculty Publications
We have studied the effects of remote hydrogen plasma treatment on the defect characteristics in single crystal ZnO. Temperature-dependent (9–300 K) and excitation intensity-dependent photoluminescence spectra reveal that H-plasma exposure of ZnO effectively suppresses the free-exciton transition and redistributes intensities in the bound-exciton line set and two-electron satellites with their phonon replicas. The resultant spectra after hydrogenation exhibit a relative increase in intensity of the I4 (3.363 eV) peak, thought to be related to a neutral donor bound exciton, and a peak feature at 3.366 eV with a distinctly small thermal activation energy. Hydrogenation also produces a violet 100 …

The dominant electrically active defect produced by 0.42 MeV electron irradiation in GaN is a 70 meV donor. Since only N-sublattice displacements can be produced at this energy, and since theory predicts that the N interstitial is a deep acceptor in n-type GaN, we argue that the 70 meV donor is most likely the isolated N vacancy. The background shallow donors, in the 24–26 meV range, actually decrease in concentration, probably due to interactions with mobile N interstitials that are produced by the irradiation. Thus, the recent assignment of a photoluminescence (PL) line as an exciton bound to a …

Continuity Of Semantic Operators In Logic Programming And Their Approximation By Artificial Neural Networks, Pascal Hitzler, Anthony K. Seda
Continuity Of Semantic Operators In Logic Programming And Their Approximation By Artificial Neural Networks, Pascal Hitzler, Anthony K. Seda
Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications
One approach to integrating first-order logic programming and neural network systems employs the approximation of semantic operators by feedforward networks. For this purpose, it is necessary to view these semantic operators as continuous functions on the reals. This can be accomplished by endowing the space of all interpretations of a logic program with topologies obtained from suitable embeddings. We will present such topologies which arise naturally out of the theory of logic programming, discuss continuity issues of several well-known semantic operators, and derive some results concerning the approximation of these operators by feedforward neural networks.

Context-Aware Semantic Association Ranking, Boanerges Aleman-Meza, Christian Halaschek-Wiener, I. Budak Arpinar, Amit P. Sheth
Kno.e.sis Publications
Discovering complex and meaningful relationships, which we call Semantic Associations, is an important challenge. Just as ranking of documents is a critical component of today's search engines, ranking of relationships will be essential in tomorrow's semantic search engines that would support discovery and mining of the Semantic Web. Building upon our recent work on specifying types of Semantic Associations in RDF graphs, which are possible to create through semantic metadata extraction and annotation, we discuss a framework where ranking techniques can be used to identify more interesting and more relevant Semantic Associations. Our techniques utilize alternative ways of specifying the …

Learning Mixture Models With The Latent Maximum Entropy Principle, Shaojun Wang, Dale Schuurmans, Fuchun Peng, Yunxin Zhao
Learning Mixture Models With The Latent Maximum Entropy Principle, Shaojun Wang, Dale Schuurmans, Fuchun Peng, Yunxin Zhao
Kno.e.sis Publications
We present a new approach to estimating mixture models based on a new inference principle we have proposed: the latent maximum entropy principle (LME). LME is different both from Jaynes’ maximum entropy principle and from standard maximum likelihood estimation. We demonstrate the LME principle by deriving new algorithms for mixture model estimation, and show how robust new variants of the EM algorithm can be developed. Our experiments show that estimation based on LME generally yields better results than maximum likelihood estimation, particularly when inferring latent variable models from small amounts of data.

Our experiments show that estimation based on LME generally yields better results than maximum likelihood estimation, particularly when inferring hidden units from small amounts of data.
A Visual Framework Invites Human Into The Clustering Process, Keke Chen, Ling Liu
A Visual Framework Invites Human Into The Clustering Process, Keke Chen, Ling Liu
Kno.e.sis Publications
Clustering is a technique commonly used in scientific research. The task of clustering inevitably involves human participation - the clustering is not finished when the computer/algorithm finishes but the user has evaluated, understood and accepted the patterns. This defines a human involved "clustering-analysis/evaluation" iteration. Instead of neglecting this human involvement, we provide a visual framework (VISTA) with all power of algorithmic approaches (since their result can be visualized), and in addition we allow the user to steer/monitor/refine the clustering process with domain knowledge. The visual-rendering result also provides a precise pattern for fast post-processing.

On Adaptive Estimation In Orthogonal Saturated Designs, Weizhen Wang, Daniel T. Voss
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
A simple method is provided to construct a general class of individual and simultaneous confidence intervals for the effects in orthogonal saturated designs. These intervals use the data adaptively, maintain the confidence levels sharply at 1 - α at the least favorable parameter configuration, work effectively under effect sparsity, and include the intervals by Wang and Voss (2001) as a special case.

Effect Of H-2 On The Martian Ionosphere: Implications For Atmospheric Evolution, Jane L. Fox
Effect Of H-2 On The Martian Ionosphere: Implications For Atmospheric Evolution, Jane L. Fox
Physics Faculty Publications
Because H2 reacts efficiently with O+, CO2 +, CO+, and N2 +, the molecular hydrogen abundance assumed in models of the Martian ionosphere greatly affects the high altitude density profiles of these ions. We have found that models of the low solar activity Martian ionosphere exhibit much smaller O+ densities than the measured values if the adopted H2 abundance is of the order of 40 ppm, the value proposed in a 1998 model of the Martian atmosphere. For a model based on the recently measured H2 abundance of …
