Abstract. Kac–Moody groups are infinite-dimensional generalizations of reductive linear algebraic groups. Twin buildings are generalizations of spherical
Abstract. In Chevalley’s construction of groups corresponding to the complex semisimple Lie algebras, the root groups play a fundamental role. These are 1-parameter unipotent subgroups Uα...
Pesticide Hazard and Exposure Reduction (PHAER) Zones (2008)
As California's population continues to grow, high demand for fresh water and pesticide use will only accelerate the water shortage problem. UC Santa Barbara will be presenting their methodology of...
Identifying Inconsistent CSPs by Relaxation (2008)
Tomas Nordl, Ken Brown, Derek Sleeman
aims to unify problem solving, knowledge acquisition and knowledge-base refinement in a single computational framework. Given a set of Knowledge Bases (KBs) and Problem Solvers (PSs), the...
Constraint Relaxation Techniques to Aid the Reuse of Knowledge Bases and Problem Solvers (2008)
Tomas Nordl, Ken Brown, Derek Sleeman
Abstract: Effective re-use of knowledge bases requires the identification of plausible combinations of both problem solvers and knowledge bases, which can be an expensive task. Can we identify...
Identifying inconsistent CSPs by Relaxation (2008)
Tomas Nordl, Ken Brown, Derek Sleeman
Abstract. How do we identify inconsistent CSPs quickly? This paper presents relaxation as one possible method; showing how we can generate relaxed CSPs which are easier to prove inconsistent. We...
Parallel Asynchronous Memetic Algorithms (2007)
This paper discusses our recent research combining a GA (Goldberg 1989) with Tabu search (Glover 1993) in an asynchronous manner, which also extends the idea of Memetic Algorithms (Moscato 1989). Our...
Decision Network Semantics of Branching Constraint Satisfaction Problems (2007)
Ken Brown, Peter Lucas, David Fowler
Branching Constraint Satisfaction Problems (BCSPs) have been introduced to model dynamic resource allocation subject to constraints and uncertainty. We give BCSPs a formal probability semantics by...
In this paper we discuss the existence of positive classical solutions of the boundary value problems:

Mid-IR interferometric nulling for TPF (2006)
Wallace, Kent James, Babtiwale, Vivek, Bartos, Randy, Brown, Ken, Gappinger, Robert, Loya, Frank, ...
By the middle of 2006, the Interferometry Technology development program for NASA’s Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) Mission has the goal of demonstrating deep and stable interferometric nulling of...
Progress in broadband infrared nulling technology for TPF (2006)
Wallace, J. Kent, Brown, Ken, Bartos, Randall, Gappinger, Robert, Loya, Frank, Macdonald, Dan, ...
TPF-I has set for itself a host of challenging technical milestones along its path to demonstrating the feasibility of infrared nulling for planet detection Progress in each of these areas of...

Soft consistencies for weighted csps (2003)
Abstract. A number of local consistency properties have recently been defined for weighted CSPs. We split the consistency definitions into a component arising from the constraint tuples, and a...
Bakirtzis, George, Choudhry, Rukhsana, Aasen, Trond, Shore, Leonard, Brown, Ken, Bryson, Sheila, ...
To investigate the role of connexins in dominantly inherited skin disease, transgenic mice were produced which expressed mutant connexin 26 [gjb2/connexin 26(D66H)], from a keratin 10 promoter,...
Application Of Multi-Agent Cooperative Search To The Job-Shop Scheduling Problem (1997)
For a given problem domain there usually exists a number of different applicable heuristic problem solving approaches which differ in the amount of domain knowledge used, run time, time complexity...
Education, culture and critical thinking. (1996)

Inappropriate reattendances in out-patient departments (1992)
Armstrong, David, Brown, Ken, Tatford, Patrick, Armstrong, Pauline
In an attempt to identify the number and characteristics of inappropriate reattendances at out-patient clinicś, clinic doctors and patients in two specialties throughout a health district were...
Analysis of heart block and dysrhythmias by His bundle electrograms (1972)
SMITHEN, CHARLES S., BROWN, KEN, FLUCK, DAVID, SOWTON, EDGAR
AUTHORS' SYNOPSISFive representative cases are presented where His bundle electrograms were of value in enabling dysrhythmias to be analysed more precisely than by a surface electrocardiogram alone....
Increased skin tumorigenesis in mice lacking pi class glutathione S-transferases
Henderson, Colin J., Smith, Austin G., Ure, Jan, Brown, Ken, Bacon, E. Jane, Wolf, C. Roland
