It is a pleasure to present to you a collection of 18 papers highlighting Recent Advances on Composites and Heterogeneous Materials offered at the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, Orlando, Florida, November 2009.Collection of the “Recent Advances on Composites and Heterogeneous Materials” themed articles was focused on the broad, multidisciplinary and transformative nature of composites and heterogeneous materials. The material systems presented in this collection of papers are at the forefront of current science and technology and are expected to bring important breakthroughs in various technological fields.Topics in this special issue include multiscale characterization of multiphase composites and polycrystalline solids, studies on reinforced elastomers, constitutive modeling of cellular materials, mechanics of bimaterials and functionally graded materials, characterization of nanocomposites, micromechanics and damage of random fiber composites, virtual testing of composite structures, characterization and modeling of composites embedded with piezoelectrics, and structural health monitoring of heterogeneous materials.It is anticipated that papers found in this special issue will serve as reference articles in their respective topics and will contribute in the knowledge advancement of composite and heterogeneous materials.The editors would like to gratefully acknowledge the authors for their original scientific contributions, the reviewers for the insightful and constructive criticism, and the chief editor, Dr. Hussein Zbib, for his encouraging guidance. Their assistance in publishing this special issue in the Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology has been invaluable.With warmest greetings,

During the 55th meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA, 2004) in San Diego, a symposium was organized on Recent Advances in Expertise Research. Most papers in this special issue of Applied Cognitive Psychology were presented in this symposium. The aim of this special issue is to provide a representative overview of recent developments and current directions in expertise research and to discuss their implications for theoretical and applied cognitive psychology, particularly, for learning and instruction. In addition, it covers some new and innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of expertise. This introductory paper presents a short introduction on expertise research, and provides an overview of the contributions to the special issue. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Advances in IC devices and technologies drive the need for innovation in design and implementation techniques for signal processing systems. Emerging signal processing algorithms place large demands on processing complexity, which must be met under strict area and power limits. To meet these challenges, more efficient algorithms and architectures are needed. This special issue contains a selection of papers on recent advances in the design and implementation of signal processing systems in the areas of wireless communications, phasechange memory, real-time vision, and error-correcting codes. In GPU Acceleration of a Configurable N-Way MIMO Detector for Wireless Systems Wu, Yin, Wang, Studer, and Cavallaro present an N-way MIMO detector for addressing the computational complexity of conventional detectors. Their implementations on practical GPUs highlight opportunities for parallelism, which in turn enable scalability in the detector algorithms, making energy and performance tradeoffs readily accessible . Even with the configurabi l i ty, their implementations outperform typical GPU-based MIMO detectors. In DIFFS: A Low Power, Multi-mode, Multi-standard Flexible Digital Front-end for Sensing in Future Cognitive Radios, Chiumento, Hollevoet, Pollin, Naessens, Dejonghe, and Van der Perre present the idea of a configurable digital front-end, capable of performing efficient spectrum sensing and synchronization to selectively trigger digital baseband functions in future cognitive radios. The authors propose a design that can support multiple modes and standards (LTE, WLAN, DVB-T), and they demonstrate an implementation in a custom IC in 65 nm CMOS. In Energy-adaptive Pulse Amplitude Modulation for IRUWB Communications under Renewable Energy, Zhao, Chen, and Wang present an energy adaptive Pulse Amplitude Modulation technique for self-powered Impulse Radio Ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) communication systems. By jointly exploiting the wireless channel conditions and the non-deterministic characteristics of renewable energy sources, the proposed technique can effectively improve the communication system data rate and/or time coverage. Yang, Emre, Xu, Chen, Cao, and Chakrabarti present a cost-effective solution for improving the reliability of multibit per cell phase change RAM (PRAM) in A Low Cost MultiTiered Approach To Improving The Reliability Of Multi-Level Cell PRAM. Error models are first developed to accurately capture hard and soft errors in multi-bit per cell PRAM, based upon which a variety design techniques across circuit, architecture, and system are developed to improve the data storage reliability at minimal speed, silicon, and energy overhead. The effectiveness is well demonstrated through comprehensive evaluations. In Accelerating Multiresolution Gabor Feature Extraction for Real Time Vision Applications Cho, Chandramoorthy, W. J.
