Hazards, Critical Races, and Metastability
Creators: name: Unger, Stephen
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1993
Subjects: Computer science

description: The various modes of failure of asynchronous sequential logic circuits due to timing problems are considered. These are hazards, critical races and metastable states. It is shown that there is a mechanism common to all forms of hazards and to metastable states. A similar mechanism, with added complications, is shown to characterize critical races. Means for defeating various types of hazards and critical races through the use of one sided delay constraints are introduced. A method is described for determining from a flow table situations in which metastable states may be entered. A circuit technique for defeating metastability problems in self timed systems is presented. It is shown that the use of simulation for verifying the correctness of a circuit with given bounds on the branch delays cannot be relied upon to expose all timing problems. An example is presented that refutes the conjecture that replacing pure delays with inertial delays can only eliminate glitches. Key Words asynchronous, critical race, delays, dynamic hazards, essential hazards, inertial delays, metastability, pure delays, sequential logic, timing problems, timing simulation.

Resilience concept
Farming systems
Adaptive cycle
Resilience indicators
Resilience attributes

description: Farming systems in Europe face a vast range of environmental, economic, social and institutional challenges. Examples include more volatile producer and input prices, higher probability of extreme weather events, increasing dependence on land owners and financial institutions, organizational change within value chains, competing policy objectives and increasing administrative demands, and new societal concerns and changing consumer preferences. In this paper we define resilience as maintaining the essential functions of EU farming systems in the face of increasingly complex and volatile economic, social, environmental and institutional challenges. A farming system is a system hierarchy level above the farm at which properties emerge as a result of the formal and informal interactions and interrelations among farms, available technologies, stakeholders along the value chain, citizens in rural and urban areas, consumers, policy makers, and the environment. Existing resilience frameworks do not sufficiently capture the regional interplay of the multiple processes and stakeholders apparent in farming systems. In order to capture the described developments in EU agriculture, and in order to proactively address those challenges, we propose a framework to analyse the resilience of EU farming systems. The integrated framework can be applied by public and private decision makers to formulate differentiated strategies across EU farming systems depending on context-specific challenges and available resources.

New Lower Bounds on the Cost of Binary Search Trees
Creators: name: De Prisco, Roberto
name: De Santis, Alfredo
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1993
Subjects: Computer science

description: In this paper we provide new lower bounds on the cost of binary search trees. The bounds are expressed in terms of the entropy of the probability distribution, the number of elements and the probability that a search is successfully. Most of our lower bounds are derived by means of a new technique which exploits the relation between trees and codes. Our lower bounds compare favorably with known limitations. We also provide an achievable upper bound on the Kraft sum generalized to the internal nodes of a tree. This improves on a previous result.

description: Muon-spin rotation (muSR) experiments are often used to study the magnetic field distribution in type-II superconductors in the vortex state. Based on the determination of the magnetic penetration depth it is frequently speculated---also controversially---about the order-parameter symmetry of the studied superconductors. This article reports on a combined muSR and magnetization study of the mixed state in the cuprate high-temperature superconductor La_{1.83}Sr_{0.17}CuO_{4} in a low magnetic field of 20 mT applied along the c axis of a single crystal. The macroscopic magnetization measurements reveal substantial differences for various cooling procedures. Yet, indicated changes in the vortex dynamics between different temperature regions as well as the results of the microscopic muSR experiments are virtually independent of the employed cooling cycles. Additionally, it is found that the mean magnetic flux density, locally probed by the muons, strongly increases at low temperatures. This can possibly be explained by a non-random sampling of the spatial field distribution of the vortex lattice in this cuprate superconductor caused by intensified vortex pinning.

A dynamic geoid model for Canada
Creators: name: Rangelova, Elena Veselinova
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2007

description: Bibliography: p. 209-232
description: Some pages are in colour.
description: The main objective of this research is to develop a methodology that can be used to optimally combine geodetic data for empirical modelling of the temporal variations of the geoid caused by the slow dynamic process of glacial isostatic adjustment of the Earth. A dynamic geoid model is needed for establishing a modem dynamic geoid-based vertical datum for Canada. By correcting the geoid for the secular temporal variations, a reference surface for orthometric heights free from systematic effects due to geodynamics will be maintained. To provide a centimetre level of accuracy for precise surveying activities, corrections should be applied generally at a ten-year time interval. Models of the temporal variations of orthometric heights are another important outcome required for ensuring consistency between the dynamic vertical reference surface and gravity related heights. The sub-objectives of this research are (i) developing a general framework for combining terrestrial and space-borne data including GRACE, GPS, tide gauge/altimetry, and absolute gravimetry data, (ii) implementing data-driven statistical approaches for modelling temporal variations of the geoid and heights, and (iii) delineating practical considerations for implementing the dynamic geoid model as a dynamic vertical reference surface. The developed methodology is applied, for the first time, to combine GRACE-observed rates of vertical deformation with terrestrial data. The modeled temporal variations of the geoid agree within 0.1 - 0.2 mm/yr with glacial isostatic model predictions based on the ICE-4G model in the areas with a peak geodynamic signal. Making use of robust leastsquares procedures combined with variance component estimation, reliable constraints for geodynamic modelling free from the influence of erroneous observations and reliably estimated error bounds of the empirical rates of crustal displacement are provided. An important outcome of this research is the use of the developed statistical tools as a necessary step towards combining geodynamic modelling of glacial isostatic adjustment with the empirical statistical approach in a rigorous dynamic-based procedure.

description: Configuration of HPC nodes is an important aspect of maintaining any HPC cluster. Our flagship HPE/Cray EX supercomputer, Derecho, is approximately 2,500 compute nodes and is susceptible to power interruptions from external factors such as lightning strike induced power sags and utility mishaps. These events challenged us to find an acceptable mean time to recovery. Ansible is our selected configuration management system but struggles with single large-scale runs of configuration despite optimizing individual runs such as tuning fork count and enabling pipelining. We needed a method to perform a large blast of configuration within a short time period to get the system back to a functional state or apply some level of remediation such as security updates. We therefore wrote a utility, Clushible, which wraps Ansible with ClusterShell's Python API to scale out the execution of Ansible that effectively took our standard full system run from multiple hours to minutes.

title: Jüdische Auserwähltheit in den Schriften des Maharal von Prag
Creators: name: Raffai, Katrin Maria
Year: 2023

description: Mit dieser Arbeit soll das Schaffen des durch Legendenbildung berühmt gewordenen Rabbiners Jehudah Loew Ben Bezalel aus dem 16. Jahrhundert in Prag, der oft bei seinem Akronym MAHARAL genannt wird, in Bezug auf die Fragestellung hin untersucht werden, inwieweit sich in seinem Denken über die jüdische Auserwählung ein Humanismus im Sinne der Entwicklung des Menschengeschlechts hin zu seiner Bestimmung nachweisen lässt. So wurden Auszüge aus verschiedenen Schriften hermeneutisch analysiert und die zugrundeliegenden Textquellen des rabbinischen Schriftgutes, Kommentarliteratur zur Torah, Aggadah und Midraschim, aufgedeckt, um ein Verständnis von ihm erlangen zu können, das ihm gerecht zu werden sucht. So wird in den Texten ein Verständnis vom Menschen vorgefunden, das eng an die Bestimmung geknüpft ist, seine Rolle als Verbindungsglied zwischen spiritueller und materieller Welt in Ausübung göttlicher Tätigkeiten, der Mitzvot, die seiner göttlichen Seele angemessen sind, zu spielen. Hier liegt der Grund für die Unterscheidung zwischen Israel als Gottes erwähltes Volk, das dieser Bestimmung in besonderer Weise nachgehen soll, und dem Rest der Nationen, die diese Rolle bisher nicht wahrnehmen und sich in der Geschichte der Menschheit eher als Antagonisten zu dieser Mission verhielten, die sich nicht einmal im Stande zeigten, die sieben noachidischen Mitzvot zu halten. Dennoch liegt in der Religionsphilosophie des Maharal die Sehnsucht, in der vollständigen Erlösung der messianischen Zeit zur Vervollkommnung des Menschengeschlechts zu gelangen, in der die Widersprüche zwischen spirituell-geistiger und körperlicher Natur aufgelöst werden.

description: With global pool of data growing at over 2.5 quinitillion bytes per day and over 90% of all data in existence created in the last two years alone, there can be little doubt that we have entered the big data era. This trend has brought database performance to the forefront of high throughput, low energy system design. This paper explores targeted deployment of hardware accelerators to improve the throughput and efficiency of database processing. Partitioning, a critical operation when manipulating large data sets, is often the limiting factor in database performance, and represents a significant amount of the overall runtime of database processing workloads. This paper describes a hardware-software streaming framework and a hardware accelerator for range partitioning, or HARP. The streaming framework offers seamless execution environment for database processing elements such as HARP. HARP offers performance, as well as orders of magnitude gains in power and area efficiency. A detailed analysis of a 32nm physical design shows 9.3 times the throughput of a highly optimized and optimistic software implementation, while consuming just 3.6% of the area and 2.6% of the power of a single Xeon core in the same technology generation.

description: Today's topic, "Agenda for a Pacific Partnership: A Japanese-American Dialogue", is a very positive and forward-looking one and it expresses what U.S. - Japanese relations ought to be. Working in Washington, D.C., however, I often wonder what the current status of our relationship is, because the perception of Japan held by many Americans is not necessarily good. In a poll taken a few months ago, Americans were asked which poses a more significant threat to the United States: the threat from Soviet missiles or the threat from the Japanese economy? More Americans answered that the Japanese economy is a more serious threat to the United States than Soviet missiles. This astonishes and discourages us. It is based on misconceptions among Americans about the importance and current status of cooperative relations between the two countries.
New limits on radiative sterile neutrino decays from a search for single photons in neutrino interactions

description: It has been recently shown that excess events observed by the LSND and MiniBooNE neutrino experiments could be interpreted as a signal from the radiative decay of a heavy sterile neutrino ν_h produced in ν_μneutral current-like interactions. If the ν_h exist, it would be also produced by the ν_μbeam from the CERN SPS in the neutrino beam line shielding. The ν_h's would penetrate the shielding and be observed through the decay ν_h -> νγ, followed by the photon conversion into e+e- pair in the active target of the NOMAD detector. The ν_h's could be also produced in the iron of the magnetic spectrometer of the CHORUS detector, located just in front of NOMAD. Considering these two sources of ν_h's we set new constraints on ν_h properties and exclude part of the LSND/MiniBooNE ν_h parameter space using bounds on single photons production in neutrino reactions recently reported by the NOMAD collaboration. We find that broad bands in the parameter space are still open for more sensitive searches for the ν_h in future neutrino experiments.

Electronic states and transport in GaNAs and GaAsBi
Creators: name: Beaton, Daniel A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: ct: This thesis explores the effect of incorporation of nitrogen or bismuth in GaAs on electronic states and transport, namely shallow in-gap states associated with nitrogen clusters in GaNAs and the hole mobility in GaAsBi. Lowered in-gap emission intensity in GaNAs epi-layers grown in under atomically rich operation of the plasma source indicates that atomic nitrogen results in more optically efficient GaNxAs1-x films. Two significant additions made to the growth procedure of GaAsBi allowed for growth of thick, doped epi-layers: reduced growth rate and growth interrupt prior to the GaAsBi epi-layer. Hole mobility is found to decrease with increasing Bi concentration. This decrease is smaller than the analogous decrease of electron mobility in GaNAs. The temperature dependence of the hole mobility is modelled using terms for scattering from phonons, ionized impurities and a temperature independent bismuth related term. There is an increasing effect from the bismuth related term with increasing bismuth content. Calculation of the scattering cross-section based on the fitted coefficient for the 1% GaAsBi sample is in good agreement with a theoretically predicted value. For samples above 4.4% the hole mobility was found to be temperature independent and scattering cross-sections are more than an order of magnitude larger. These are indications that bismuth clusters play a significant role in reducing the hole mobility at high concentrations. GaAs, GaNAs and GaAsBi were incorporated in to device structures: Schottky diodes and p-i-n LEDs. Several defects were detected using DLTS and an increasing trend of defects for decreasing growth temperature found. Two hole traps were found to be related to growth of GaNAs, where only one was related to nitrogen incorporation. The device structure of the LEDs prevented an in-depth analysis and poor surface morphology of GaAsBi epi-layers resulted in leaky devices. While further work is required, it was found that the inclusion of a growth interrupt introduced many shallow traps. Optical measurements on the LEDs showed that the electroluminescence from the GaAsBi layer was temperature insensitive, while the emission from the GaAs layers followed the expected Varshni relation.
Terminological Constraint Network Reasoning and its Application to Plan Recognition
Creators: name: Weida, Robert Anthony
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1993
Subjects: Computer science

description: Terminological systems in the tradition of KL-ONE are widely used in AI to represent and reason with concept descriptions. They compute subsumption relations between concepts and automatically classify concepts into a taxonomy having well-founded semantics. Each concept in the taxonomy describes a set of possible instances which are a superset of those described by its descendants. One limitation of current systems is their inability to handle complex compositions of concepts, such as constraint networks where each node is described by an associated concept. For example, plans are often represented (in part) as collections of actions related by a rich variety of temporal and other constraints. The T-REX system integrates terminological reasoning with constraint network reasoning to classify such plans, producing a "terminological" plan library. T-REX also introduces a new theory of plan recognition as a deductive process which dynamically partitions the plan library by modalities, e.g., necessary, possible and impossible, while observations are made. Plan recognition is guided by the plan library's terminological nature. Varying assumptions about the accuracy and monotonicity of the observations are addressed. Although this work focuses on temporal constraint networks used to represent plans, terminological systems can be extended to encompass constraint networks in other domains as well.
Mobile Communication with Virtual Network Address Translation

description: Virtual Network Address Translation (VNAT) is a novel architecture that allows transparent migration of end-to-end live network connections associated with various computation units. Such computation units can be either a single process, or a group of processes of an application, or an entire host. VNAT virtualizes network connections perceived by transport protocols so that identification of network connections is decoupled from stationary hosts. Such virtual connections are then remapped into physical connections to be carried on the physical network using network address translation. VNAT requires no modification to existing applications, operating systems, or protocol stacks. Furthermore, it is fully compatible with the existing communication infrastructure; virtual and normal connections can coexist without interfering each other. VNAT functions entirely within end systems and requires no third party proxies. We have implemented a VNAT prototype with the Linux 2.4 kernel and demonstrated its functionality on a wide range of popular real-world network applications. Our performance results show that VNAT has essentially no overhead except when connections are migrated, in which case the overhead of our Linux prototype is less than 7 percent.

Maintaining a healthy and professional practice: a grounded theory study of palliative care nurses
Creators: name: Niedermoser, Janice
Publisher: name: Nursing
Year: 2007

description: Bibliography: p. 88-96
description: Researchers have found that nurses suffer from burnout caused by many factors including staffing shortages and poor communication. A decrease in job satisfaction leads to increased nursing turnover and compromised patient care. This loss of staff, coupled with the upcoming shortages in the nursing profession due to retirement and decreased entry into the profession, is expected to challenge the quality of health care in Canadian hospitals. A qualitative grounded theory study was be conducted to explore how do palliative care nurses maintain a healthy and professional practice? This study expanded the understanding of how nurses continue to learn, provide quality care and manage to avoid suffering from burnout and decreased job satisfaction. The sample population was palliative care nurses working on a designated palliative care unit within the Calgary Health Region. For approximately two months data were collected by conducting interviews with individuals, creating field notes, and writing memos. Through ongoing data analysis and the integration of the current literature, a theory on the development of palliative care nurses was created. It is hoped that through this study, a greater understanding of palliative care nursing will impact what management and educators provide to assist nurses currently working in palliative care and prepare new nurses entering the specialty. The study may also influence interdisciplinary education modalities and encourage a team communication focus.
Enteric glial cells play a role in neuronal signalling and in inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract

description: Bibliography: p. 278-351

description: The functions of glial cells in the enteric nervous system remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that enteric glia play a role in enteric neurotransmission and in intestinal inflammation. Enteric glia may participate in neurotransmission as we observed that these cells expressed receptors for neurotransmitters, such as the metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) 2/3 and 5, the a2a-adrenergic receptor and the somatostatin 2A (SSTR2A) receptor. Glial receptor expression was altered during colitis. We observed a redistribution in mGluR immunoreactivity in both trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) colitis in guinea pigs and dextran sodium sulphate (OSS) colitis in mice, while mGluR expression was decreased in the inflamed colons of interleukin-10 gene-deficient (I L-10-1-) mice. SSTR2A immunoreactivity was redistributed in mice given DSS but unchanged in IL-10-1- mice. No changes to enteric ganglia or glial fibrillary acidic protein expression were observed in DSS and IL-10_,_ mice. Stimulation of glial mGluR5 receptors increased the expression of the early immediate gene product, Fos, as well as the phosphorylated form of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (pERK1/2), but did not alter intracellular calcium, demonstrating that glial receptors were functionally activated. Studies in cultured enteric glia proved inconclusive, as their phenotype no longer resembled that in situ. The gliotoxin fluorocitrate specifically stimulated pERK1/2 expression in enteric glia and reduced ilea! motility in vitro and gastrointestinal transit in vivo. No changes in colonic transit or ion transport were observed, nor were there any signs of inflammation, suggesting that glia modulate the enteric neural circuits underlying gastrointestinal motility. Enteric glia of the mouse colon constitutively expressed the inducible nitric oxide synthase, likely due to "physiological" inflammation. The nitric oxide precursor, L-arginine was localized to neurons and glia in the mouse, suggesting that glial cells were not the sole source of L-arginine. No changes in gut transit or in the distribution of glial and neuronal markers were observed in mice deficient for the inducible L-arginine transporter. Taken together, these data demonstrate that enteric glia play a role in enteric neurotransmission, particularly in gastrointestinal motility and that changes in glial receptor expression are a feature of colitis.

description: For a given camera setting, scene points that lie outside of depth of field (DOF) will appear defocused (or blurred). Defocus causes the loss of image details. To recover scene details from a defocused region, deblurring techniques must be employed. It is well known that the deblurring quality is closely related to the defocus kernel or point-spread-function (PSF), whose shape is largely determined by the aperture pattern of the camera. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive framework of aperture evaluation for the purpose of defocus deblurring, which takes the effects of image noise, deblurring algorithm, and the structure of natural images into account. By using the derived evaluation criterion, we are able to solve for the optimal coded aperture patterns. Extensive simulations and experiments are then conducted to compare the optimized coded apertures with previously proposed ones. The proposed framework of aperture evaluation is further extended to evaluate and optimize extended depth of field (EDOF) cameras. EDOF cameras (e.g., focal sweep and wavefront coding camera) are designed to produce PSFs which are less sensitive to depth variation, so that people can deconvolve the whole image using a single PSF without knowing scene depth. Different choices of camera parameters or the PSF to deconvolve with lead to different deblurring qualities. With the derived evaluation criterion, we are able to derive the optimal PSF to deconvolve with in a closed-form and optimize camera parameters for the best deblurring results.

description: The semantic e-government is a new application field accompanying the development of semantic web where the ontologies have become a fertile field of investigation. This is due firstly to both the complexity and the size of e-government systems and secondly to the importance of the issues. However, permitting easy and personalized access to e-government services has become, at this juncture, an arduous and not spontaneous process. Indeed, the provided e-gov services to the user represent a critical contact point between administrations and users. The encountered problems in the e-gov services retrieving process are: the absence of an integrated one-stop government, the difficulty of localizing the services' sources, the lack of mastery of search terms and the deficiency of multilingualism of the online services. In order to solve these problems, to facilitate access to e-gov services and to satisfy the needs of potential users, we propose an original approach to this issue. This approach incorporates a semantic layer as a crucial element in the retrieving process. It consists in implementing a personalized search system that integrates ontology of the e-gov domain in this process.

description: We present deep HST/NICMOS Camera 3 F110W and F160W imaging of a 26'x33', corresponding to 3.1pcx3.8pc, non-contiguous field towards the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). The main aim is to determine the ratio of low--mass stars to brown dwarfs for the cluster as a function of radius out to a radial distance of 1.5pc. The sensitivity of the data outside the nebulous central region is F160W=21.0 mag, significantly deeper than previous studies of the region over a comparable area. We create an extinction limited sample and determine the ratio of low-mass stars (0.08-1Msun) to brown dwarfs (0.02-0.08Msun and 0.03-0.08Msun) for the cluster as a whole and for several annuli. The ratio found for the cluster within a radius of 1.5pc is R(02)=N(0.08-1Msun)/N(0.02-0.08Msun)=1.7+-0.2, and R(03)=N(0.08-1Msun)/N(0.03-0.08Msun)=2.4+-0.2, after correcting for field stars. The ratio for the central 0.3pcx0.3pc region down to 0.03Msun was previously found to be R(03)=3.3+0.8-0.7, suggesting the low-mass content of the cluster is mass segregated. We discuss the implications of a gradient in the ratio of stars to brown dwarfs in the ONC in the context of previous measurements of the cluster and for other nearby star forming regions. We further discuss the current evidence for variations in the low-mass IMF and primordial mass segregation.

description: In astrophysical regimes where the collisional excitation of hydrogen atoms is relevant, the cross sections for the interactions of hydrogen atoms with electrons and protons are necessary for calculating line profiles and intensities. In particular, at relative velocities exceeding ~1000 km/s, collisional excitation by protons dominates over that by electrons. Surprisingly, the hydrogen-proton cross sections at these velocities do not exist for atomic levels of n >= 4, forcing researchers to utilize extrapolation via inaccurate scaling laws. In this study, we present a faster and improved algorithm for computing cross sections for the hydrogen-proton collisional system, including excitation and charge transfer to the n >= 2 levels of the hydrogen atom. We develop a code named BDSCx which directly solves the Schrodinger equation with variable (but non-adaptive) resolution and utilizes a hybrid spatial-Fourier grid. Our novel hybrid grid reduces the number of grid points needed from ~4000 n^6 (for a "brute force", Cartesian grid) to ~2000 n^4 and speeds up the computation by a factor ~50 for calculations going up to n = 4 . We present (l,m)-resolved results for charge-transfer and excitation final states for n = 2--4 and for projectile energies of 5--80 keV, as well as fitting functions for the cross sections. The ability to accurately compute proton-hydrogen cross sections to n = 4 allows us to calculate the Balmer decrement, the ratio of Balmer alpha to Balmer beta line intensities. We find that the Balmer decrement starts to increase beyond its largely constant value of 2--3 below 10 keV, reaching values of 4--5 at 5 keV, thus complicating its use as a diagnostic of dust extinction when fast (~1000$ km/s) shocks are impinging upon the ambient interstellar medium.

New signal enhancement algorithms for one-dimensional and two-dimensional spectroscopic data
Creators: name: Foist, Rod Blaine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In research, the usefulness of the analytical results is crucially dependent upon the quality of the measurements. However, data measured by instruments is always corrupted. The desired information—-the "signal"-—may be distorted by a variety of effects, especially noise. In spectroscopy, there are two additional significant causes of signal corruption—-instrumental blurring and baseline distortion. Consequently, signal processing is required to extract the desired signal from the undesired components. Thus, there is an on-going need for signal enhancement algorithms which collectively can 1) perform high quality signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) enhancement, especially in very noisy environments, 2) remove instrumental blurring, and 3) correct baseline distortions. Also, there is a growing need for automated versions of these algorithms. Furthermore, the spectral analysis technique, Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy (2DCoS), needs similar solutions to these same problems. This dissertation presents the design of four new signal enhancement algorithms, plus the application of two others, to address these measurement problems and issues. Firstly, methods for one-dimensional (1D) data are introduced—-beginning with an existing algorithm, the Two-Point Maximum Entropy Method (TPMEM). This regularization-based method is very effective in low-SNR signal enhancement and deconvolution. TPMEM is re-examined to clarify its strengths and weaknesses, and to provide ways to compensate for its limitations. Next, a new regularization method, based on the chi-squared statistic, is introduced and demonstrated in its ability for noise reduction and deconvolution. Then, two new 1D automated algorithms are introduced and demonstrated: a noise filter and a baseline correction scheme. Secondly, a new two-dimensional (2D) regularization method (Matrix-MEM or MxMEM), derived from TPMEM, is introduced and applied to SNR enhancement of images. Lastly, MxMEM and 2D wavelets are applied to 2DCoS noise reduction. The main research contributions of this work are 1) the design of three new high performance signal enhancement algorithms for 1D data which collectively address noise, instrumental blurring, baseline correction, and automation, 2) the design of a new high performance SNR enhancement method for 2D data, and 3) the novel application of 2D methods to 2DCoS.
