This collection of papers relates to the evaluation of the Advanced Technology Program (ATP), the Nation's civilian technology program specifically charged with
This paper examines the approach to technology diffusion of a public-private partnership program in the United States, the Advanced Technology Program (ATP)
The Advanced Technology Program (ATP) partners with U.S. businesses in high-risk research to develop enabling technologies with strong potential for economic
The Economic Assessment Office (EAO) of the Advanced Technology Program (ATP) commissions economic studies by outside research organizations. A recent study by
Analogues of the U.S.'s Advanced Technology Program can be found in many countries around the world. These government programs provide financial assistance to
America's healthcare system is regarded as among the world's best. The application of new technologies to medical care has enabled significant progress. However
The estimation of effect sizes is crucial part of meta-analysis. This papers uses influence functions as a fundamental tool in the analysis of estimates of
We present an approach to measurement system parameter design that does not require the values of the experimental units be known. The approach does require
Meta analysis, the statistical synthesis of results from several different studies, often involves combining estimates of effect sizefrom several experiments
Due to the high frequency sampling of on-line data acquisition systems, most of the on-line data are auto correlated. The autocorrelation of the process data
Poor usability is an uncontrolled source of overhead, caused by the need for users to correct errors and continually re-learn complex user interfaces. Software

In the use of hardness test blocks, the uncertainty due to block non-uniformity can be reduced if one is willing to make measurements at specified locations on
Analytical instruments with functional responses such as SELDI-TOF mass spectra offer a basis for biomarker development. This paper describes an approach to

Fiber-reinforced polymeric composites provide lightweight, high strength, and corrosive resistance to severe environmental exposures. These composites have been
The sum of independent Pareto random variables with varying parameters are shown to converge to a stable distribution. This extends a result of Blum for i.i.d
Many kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of expitaxial crystal growth have been done using a simple cubic crystal structure and over-simplified physics. We discuss
In many situations, weighted means can achieve much lower variances than unweighted means by placing more weight on those observations that are more precise
In this overview, we describe human computer interaction (HCI) research taking place in the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of
Single stranded DNA is modeled as a flexible polymer. The motion of such DNA in a vessel partitioned by a membrane containing a cylindrical nanopore is modeled
A widely accepted approach to assure that the certified property of a chemical reference material is independent of the method of analysis is to analyze by two
A measurement without its uncertainty is not adequate. The stated uncertainty ceases to be valid when the measurement system goes out of calibration. A
The application considered involves density estimation, spatial prediction, and sizing error. The goal is estimation of a particle size distribution; the data
