The TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation (TRECvid) is an international benchmarking activity to encourage research in video information retrieval by providing a...
Junctions using amorphous NbxSi1-x as a barrier have been developed for a wide range of possible applications. By co-sputtering the Nb and Si, both the relative...
A nonparametric inferential statistical data analysis is presented. The utility of this method is demonstrated through analyzing results from minutiae exchange...
GPS carrier-phase frequency transfer (GPSCPFT) and two-way satellite time and frequency transfer (TWSTFT) were performed along three trans-Atlantic links over...
The problem of signal integrity for GPS satellites is discussed. In particular, there is a need for characterizing peak deviation of GPS clocks from prediction...
