Q&A: How do plants respond to ethylene and what is its importance?
(Springer Nature, 2016-01-27)Ethylene gas is a major plant hormone that influences diverse processes in plant growth, development and stress responses throughout the plant life cycle. Responses to ethylene, such as fruit ripening, are significant to ... -
A Q-LEARNING BASED INTEGRATED VARIABLE SPEED LIMIT AND HARD SHOULDER RUNNING CONTROL TO REDUCE TRAVEL TIME AT FREEWAY BOTTLENECK
(2019)To increase traffic mobility and safety, several types of active traffic management (ATM) strategies, such as variable speed limit (VSL) and hard shoulder running (HSR), are implemented in many countries. While all kinds ... -
QBLink: A Dataset for Sequential Open-Domain Question Answering
(2018-11-03)We introduce QBLink, a new dataset of about 18,000 question sequences, each sequence consists of three naturally occurring human-authored questions (totaling around 56,000 unique questions). The sequences themselves are ... -
QCD Resummation Of Soft Gluons In Effective Field Theory
(2006-01-19)Abstract The main results of this thesis are the introduction of a new and systematic way to treat and resum logarithmic enhancements, to all orders in perturbation theory and to any desired logarithmic accuracy. The ... -
QoP-Driven Scheduling for MPEG Video Decoding
(IEEE, 2003-11)MPEG video decoding algorithm has been embedded into many consumer electronic products. In this paper, we demonstrate that the completion ratio (CR) does not represent well the quality of presentation (QoP) of MPEG ... -
QoS Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(2001)A Quality-of-Service (QoS) routing protocol is developed for mobile ad hoc networks. It can establish QoS routes with reserved bandwidth in a network employing TDMA. An efficient algorithmfor calculating the end-to-end ... -
QOS-DRIVEN SCHEDULING FOR MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS
(IEEE, 2004-05)Multimedia applications have intrinsic quality of service (QoS) requirements that may not be captured by the simple traditional completion ratio model. We have proposed a new quantitative QoS metric based on task ... -
QR Codes @ GW

QR Sometimes Beats Jacobi
(1998-10-15)This note exhibits a symmetric matrix having a small eigenvalue that is computed accurately by the QR algorithm but not by Jacobi's method. (Also cross-referenced as UMIACS-TR-95-32) -
Quad Tilt Rotor Simulations in Helicopter Mode using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2005-12-05)The flow field around a simplified Quad Tilt Rotor (QTR) vehicle is simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for various low speed flight conditions in helicopter mode. A time-averaged rotor model is utilized, ... -
The Quadric Reference Surface: Applications in Registering Views of Complex 3D Objects
(1998-10-15)(Also cross-referenced as CAR-TR-702) The theoretical component of this work involves the following question: Given any two views of some unknown textured opaque quadric surface in 3D, is there a finite number of ... -
Quake: quality-aware detection and correction of sequencing errors
(2010-11-29)We introduce Quake, a program to detect and correct errors in DNA sequencing reads. Using a maximum likelihood approach incorporating quality values and nucleotide specific miscall rates, Quake achieves the highest accuracy ... -
Qualification of Metallized Optical Fiber Connections for Chip-Level MEMS Packaging
