Commercial Java virtual machines are designed to maximize the performance of applications at the expense of predictability. High throughput garbage collection algorithms, for example, can introduce pauses of 100 milliseconds or more. We are interested in s ...
When interfacing Java with other systems such as databases, programmers must often program in special interface languages like SQL. Code written in these languages often needs to be embedded in strings where they cannot be error-checked at compile-time, or ...
We present a new method based on B-spline snakes (active contours) for measuring high-accuracy contact angles. In this approach, we avoid making physical assumptions by defining the contour of the drop as a versatile B-spline curve. When useful, we extend ...
