As the usage of 3D models increases, so does the importance of developing accurate 3D shape retrieval algorithms. Most prominently, shape descriptors are used to describe the geometric and topological properties of objects and compared to determine two

AbstractWe present a framework for the execution and dissemination of customizable content-based file comparison methods. Given digital objects such as files, database entries, or in-memory data structures, we are interested in establishing their

The NIST Cloud Computing Standards Roadmap Working Group has surveyed the existing standards landscape for security, portability, and interoperability standards/models/studies/use cases, etc., relevant to cloud computing. Using this available information
In large-scale distributed systems, the interactions of many independent components may lead to emergent global behaviors with unforeseen, often detrimental, outcomes. The increasing importance of distributed systems such as clouds and computing grids will

A one-dimensional transient finite-difference model for the temperature distribution in orthogonal metal cutting, which was originally developed by Boothroyd, and then improved upon by Tlusty, is used to calculate the temperature field in the chip and in
This report summarizes the technical work of the Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division (MCSD) of NIST s Information Technology Laboratory. Part I (Overview) provides a high-level overview of the Division s activities, including highlights of

Biological ants organize themselves into forager groups that converge to shortest paths to and from food sources. This has motivated development a large class of biologically inspired agent-based graph search techniques, called Ant Colony Optimization, to
Because of the complexity in determining the 3D structure of a protein, the use of partial information determined from experimental techniques can greatly reduce the overall computational expense. We investigate the problem of matching experimentally
Over the last thirty years, much research has been done on the development of failure event databases and fatigue modeling of crack growth in pressure vessels and piping. According to a USNRC report (NUREG/CR6674, 2000), results of a fatigue crack growth

We describe a software system that enables the measurement and analysis of tissue engineering scaffold materials from three dimensional images. Essential to this work is the use of an immersive visualization (virtual reality) system that gives the
Semantic Web has been often suggested as the information technology solution to the growing problem in managing the millions of data points generated by modern science such as nanotechnology and high through-put screening for drugs. However, the progress

We describe a software system that enables the measurement and analysis of tissue engineering scaffold materials from three dimensional images that were generated with X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT), segmented and converted to a polygonal

The era of internet based bioinformatics has created a unique opportunity to develop creative web tools and techniques to communicate complex biological data. Enzyme thermodynamics data is rich in Greek letter, superscripts and subscripts, and IUPAC has
