Abstractions for Hybrid Systems
We present a procedure for constructing sound finite-state discrete abstractions of hybrid systems. This procedure uses ideas from predicate abstraction to abstract the discrete dynamics and qualitative reasoning to abstract…

Hydrogen and magnesium incorporation on c-plane and m-plane GaN surfaces
We present first-principles calculations for m-plane and c-plane In0.25Ga0.75N surfaces, focusing on how the growth conditions affect indium incorporation.

Epigenetic Alteration of the Wnt Inhibitory Factor-1 Promoter Occurs Early in the Carcinogenesis of Barrett’s Esophagus
We hypothesized that downregulation of the Wnt inhibitory factor-1 (WIF-1) might be involved in the neoplastic progression of Barrett's esophagus (BE).
