Softcore stream processor for FPGA-based DSP / Peng Wang
Modern DSP applications present increasingly high computational requirements and keep evolving in nature. In these applications (e.g. high definition video, wireless communication), there are fundamental DSP kernels playing central roles, including Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Matrix …

Japanese University Students’ L2 Communication Frequency in Positive Classroom Climate
… Clément’s (2003) theory of L2 WTC, I replicated Peng and Woodrow’s (2010) structural path model using the variables of state L2 communicative confidence, L2 learning motivation, positive classroom climate, L2 WTC, with the newly added variable of actual speaking frequency. A hypothesized …

Dealing With Uncertainty in Engineering and Management Practices
… assess traffic noise impact under uncertainty (Peng and Mayorga, 2008). Three uncertain inputs, namely, traffic flow, traffic speed and traffic components, are represented by probability distributions. Monte Carlo simulation is performed to generate these noise distributions. Further, fuzzy sets …

Correlation and prediction of solubility of low vapor pressure solids in supercritical fluids
… in ethane. Two equations of state--the Peng-Robinson equation and the Lee-Kesler equation with Plocker, Knapp and Prausnitz mixing rules--were tested in conjunction with the compressed gas model, permitting a direct comparison of the two equations of state. The sensitivity of the model …

Coupled-Cluster Methods for Large Molecular Systems Through Massive Parallelism and Reduced-Scaling Approaches
… bigO{N^6} computational complexity ( C. Peng, J. A. Calvin, F. Pavov{s}evi'c, J. Zhang, and E. F. Valeev, textit{J. Phys. Chem. A} 2016, textbf{120}, 10231.), based on the TiledArray tensor framework. Excellent strong scaling is demonstrated on a multi-core shared-memory computer, a …

Vapor-liquid Equilibrium of Polymer Solutions During Thermal Decomposition of Rigid Foams
… used alone, as well as in combinations with the Peng-Robinson equation of state (EOS) through the Wong-Sandler mixing rules. Because several of the models required values for polymer volumes, a comparison of the GCVOL and GCMCM group-contribution volume estimation methods was performed. GCMCM was …

Supercritical Fluids: Kinetic Solvent Effect and the Correlation of Solid-Fluid Equilibria
… in terms of transition state theory using the Peng-Robinson equation. The slowing of the dimerization and the implications of this result for the general case of a reactive system in a supercritical solvent are discussed in terms of the relative sizes and energies of the reactive solutes and …

FRACTALS IN PUPILLARY OSCILLATION PATTERNS: FROM GRAY IMAGES TO JACKSON POLLOCK PAINTINGS
… itself (Goldberger, Amaral, Hausdorff, Ivanov, Peng, & Stanley, 2002; Kiselev, Hahn, & Auer, 2003; Mandelbrot, 1982). Fractals are structures which are self-similar at varying magnification and can be either statistical (meaning they are not identical when magnification varies but are …

Chronic Pain Profiles and Past Bullying Experiences
… somatization, and psychological trauma (Gatchel, Peng, Peters, Fuchs, & Turk, 2007). Being bullied in childhood is one such factor that has been shown to be associated with chronic pain (Sigurdson, Wallander, & Sund, 2014; Voerman et al. 2015). Furthermore, those with chronic pain fit into one of …

A full asymptotic series of European call option prices in the SABR model with beta=1
… of the exponential formula developed by Jin, Peng, and Schellhorn (2016) with analytical calculations. The first approach, which we call "Dyson series on the return's idiosyncratic noise" yields a complete series expansion but necessitates the calculation of a 7-dimensional integral. Two of …

Quantile autoregression with censored data
… works by Powell (1986), Portnoy (2003) and Peng and Huang (2008) on estimating the conditional quantile functions with censored data. However, unlike the standard regression models, the autoregressive models should take account of censoring on both response and regressors. In this …
