Forest ecosystems exhibit complex dynamics over time and space. Management of forest ecosystems involves the need to forecast future states of complex systems that are often undergoing structural...
Forest Ecosystem Management via the NED Intelligent Information System (2000)
W. D. Potter, X. Deng, S. Somasekar, S. Liu, H. M. Rauscher, S. Thomasma
We view an Intelligent Information System (IIS) as composed of a unified knowledge base, database, and model base. The model base includes decision support models such as growth and yield simulation...
Generalized Gibbs sampler and multigrid Monte Carlo for Bayesian computation (1999)
Jun S. Liu, Chiara Sabatti, S. Liu
this article, we present a generalized version of the Gibbs sampler that allows flexible conditional moves defined by groups of transformations. We explore its connection with the multigrid Monte...
Xu, X., Xu, J., Liu, S., Liu, K.
In this paper, the axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric buckling of finite elastic cylindrical shell, which is impacted on the end by axial step loads, is discussed with the aid of the stress wave...
Neutron Energy Response of a Modified Andersson-Braun REM Counter (1996)
Li, J., Tang, Y., Liu, S., Ban, S., Suzuki, T., Iijima, K., ...
The fluence response of three models of Andersson-Braun (A-B) rem counters in neutron radiation fields with different neutron energies has been investigated. In three monoenergetic neutron fields of...
Random Ising spins in two dimensions: a flat space realization of the KPZ exponents (1994)
A model describing Ising spins with short range interactions moving randomly in a plane is considered. In the presence of a hard core repulsion, which prevents the Ising spins from overlapping, the...
Dynamically triangulated Ising spins in flat space (1994)
A model describing Ising spins with short range interactions moving randomly in a plane is considered. In the presence of a hard core repulsion, which prevents the Ising spins from overlapping, the...
A variational approach to a circular hyperelastic membrane problem (1993)
Liu, S., Haddow, J. B., Dost, S.
The variational principles of nonlinear elasticity are applied to a problem of axially symmetric deformation of a uniform circular hyperelastic membrane. The supported edge of the membrane is in a...

Friedrich, J., Neudeck, G., Liu, S.
Selective epitaxial growth of monocrystalline silicon and epitaxial lateral overgrowth have emerged as important processing steps for advanced processing technologies. The problems associated with...
Vitamin E and risk of type 2 diabetes in the womens health study randomized controlled trial
We directly assessed the efficacy of vitamin E supplements for primary prevention of type 2 diabetes among apparently healthy women in the Womens Health Study randomized trial. Between 1992 and...
A new memetic algorithm for optimizing the partitioning problem of tandem AGV systems
In tandem automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems, all the work stations (processing centers) are partitioned into non-overlapping zones, where each zone is served by a dedicated vehicle. Beside the...
Liu, S., Heitz, R. P., Sampson, A. R., Zhang, W., Bradberry, C. W.
Cocaine abusers show impaired performance on cognitive tasks that engage prefrontal cortex. These deficits may contribute to impaired control and relapse in abusers. Understanding the neuronal...
A comparison of sunlight exposure in men with prostate cancer and basal cell carcinoma
Rukin, N J, Zeegers, M P, Ramachandran, S, Luscombe, C J, Liu, S, Saxby, M, ...
Ultraviolet radiation exposure increases basal cell carcinoma (BCC) risk, but may be protective against prostate cancer. We attempted to identify exposure patterns that confer reduced prostate cancer...

There is no consensus as to the management of untreated poor prognosis or relapsed/refractory germ cell tumours. We have studied an intensive cisplatin-based regimen that incorporates high-dose...

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation may reduce prostate cancer risk, suggesting that polymorphism in genes that mediate host pigmentation will be associated with susceptibility to this cancer. We...
Increasing thyroid cancer incidence in Canada, 1970–1996: time trends and age-period-cohort effects
Liu, S, Semenciw, R, Ugnat, A-M, Mao, Y
We examined time trends in thyroid cancer incidence in Canada by age, time period and birth cohort between 1970 and 1996. Age-specific incidence rates by time period and birth cohort were calculated...
