  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Internationalization of Washington, D.C. Author: Abbott, Carl Year: 1996 The globalization of U.S. cities is attracting increasing theoretical and empirical attention. The author analyzes internationally oriented activities in metropolitan Washington, D.C., and demonstrates that the city's international roles are built directly on its historic function as a national city. Focusing on change over time, the author also shows that globalization is a stepwise process: Several key periods of the expansion of international functions were followed by periods of gradual absorption. In comparative context, Washington supports arguments about the separability of international functions and shows the importance of historical development in determining the different ways in which cities interact with the world.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Application of CUDA in the Boolean Domain for the Unate Covering Problem Author: Paul, Eric, Steinbach, Bernd, Perkowski, Marek Year: 2010 NVIDIA’s Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) is a relatively-recent development that allows to realize very fast algorithms for several Constraint Satisfaction and Computer Aided Design tasks. In this paper we present an approach to use Graphics Processing Units (GPU) and CUDA for solving Unate Covering Problem, a practical problem related to SAT. In particular we present a CUDA-enabled Petrick Function Minimizer. We compare the performance of a pipeline-processor (CPU) and a parallel processor (GPU) implementation of the matrix-multiplication method for solving unate covering problems.

Our interests are mainly in logic synthesis for quantum circuits and quantum system design [10]. Emulation of quantum circuits using standard reconfigurable FPGA technology and FPGA-based Evolvable Quantum Hardware, proposed here, are research areas not yet dealt with by other research groups. A parallel software simulator was presented in [13].

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Least-Cost Transportation Planning in ODOT: Feasability Report Author: Rufolo, Anthony M., Bronfman, Lois M., Strathman, James G. Year: 1995 Least Cost Planning or Integrated Resource Planning is used in the electric utility industry to broaden the scope of choices to meet service requirements. This typically includes methods to reduce the demand for electricity as well as the more traditional electric generation options. Techniques have been developed to compare the cost of electricity generation with the cost of meeting service requirements by reducing electricity usage. In addition to cost considerations, utilities typically take account of uncertainty associated with forecasts and a variety of other considerations in specifying their least cost plan.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: La Pine North: Two Futures Author: Howe, Deborah A., Rabiega, William A. Year: 1998 This paper provides a vision of how accommodating such high growth may affect one rural residential area of the county, La Pine North. It will first draw a profile of La Pine North as it exists currently. Then, two possible futures for that space and its residents will be depicted. These futures represent the minimal and the most radical responses to the present and intensifying problem of nitrate/nitrogen pollution of ground water in the area. The "Restricted Growth" scenario assumes that the only response to the pollution problem will be the requirement of sand filter septic systems for replacement and new development. The "Buildout" scenario assumes sanitary sewers and piped water. Title: La Pine North: Two Futures Author: Howe, Deborah A., Rabiega, William A.

But are there perhaps research methods around the margins, ones that might help us ask different questions or let our research serve different ends? In this, the first of two articles, I describe how I discovered critical and indigenous research methods and how my research became grounded in a digital community.
