New approach to calibrate the mortar flow table

Author(s)
Chiara F. Ferraris, Haleh Azari
The flow table is a standardized test that is widely used to qualify a mortar to be tested for compressive strength and air content. It is also the only...

Robust Iris Recognition Baseline for the Occular Challenge

Author(s)
Yooyoung Lee, Ross J. Micheals, James J. Filliben, P J. Phillips
Due to its distinctiveness, the human iris is a popular biometric feature used to identity a person with high accuracy. The Grand Challenge in iris recognition...

Two Level System Loss in Superconducting Microwave Resonators

Author(s)
David P. Pappas, Michael R. Vissers, David S. Wisbey, Jeffrey S. Kline, Jiansong Gao
High quality factor, i.e. low loss, resonators are important for quantum information storage and addressing. In this work we study the resonance frequency and...

Performance of a coherent dual frequency comb spectrometer

Author(s)
Nathan R. Newbury, Esther Baumann, Ian R. Coddington, Fabrizio R. Giorgetta, William C. Swann, Alexander M. Zolot
We discuss the performance of a coherent dual frequency comb spectrometer in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, resolution, and accuracy based on experimental data...

Synthetic Electric and Magnetic Fields for Ultracold Neutral Atoms

Author(s)
William D. Phillips, Yu-Ju Lin, Robert L. Compton, Karina K. Jimenez Garcia, Abigail R. Perry, James V. Porto, Ian B. Spielman
We use Raman coupling between magnetic sublevels of a 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) to create an effective vector gauge field for the neutral atoms. They...

A Benchmark for Best View Selection of 3D Objects

Author(s)
Helin Dutagaci, Chun Pan (Benny) Cheung, Afzal A. Godil
The best view selection corresponds to the task of automatically selecting the most representative view of a 3D model. In this paper, we describe a benchmark...

Torsion Balance Test of Couplings to Spin

Author(s)
Blayne R. Heckel, Eric G. Adelberger, William A. Terrano, Claire E. Cramer
This article describes constraints on possible new spin-coupled interactions using a torsion pendulum with approximately 1 × 1023 polarized electrons.

Predicting Segmentation Accuracy for Biological Cell Images

Author(s)
Adele P. Peskin, Alden A. Dima, Joe Chalfoun, John T. Elliott
We have performed segmentation procedures on a large number of images from two mammalian cell lines that were seeded at low density, in order to study trends in...

Speeding up the Wide-Pipe: Secure and Fast Hashing

Author(s)
Mridul Nandi, Souradyuti Paul
In this paper we propose a new sequential mode of operation – the Fast wide pipe or FWP for short - to hash messages of arbitrary length. The mode is shown to...

Toward Objective Global Privacy Standards

Author(s)
Ari M. Schwartz
Technical standards offer a new ability to support the important public policy goal of better protecting privacy. To do so most effectively, we must begin to...

Modeling Affiliations in Networks

Author(s)
Brian D. Cloteaux
One way to help understand the structure of certain networks is to examine what common group memberships the actors in the network share. Linking actors to...

How to Model a TCP/IP Network Using Only 20 Parameters

Author(s)
Kevin L. Mills, Edward J. Schwartz, Jian Yuan
Most simulation models for data communication networks encompass hundreds of parameters that can each take on millions of values. Such models are difficult to...
