Optimal joint detection and estimation that maximizes ROC-type curves

September 1, 2016
Author(s)
Adam J. Wunderlich, Bart Goossens, Craig K. Abbey
Combined detection-estimation tasks are frequently encountered in medical imaging. Hence, optimal methods for joint detection and estimation are of interest because they provide upper bounds on observer performance and can motivate practical image analysis

Should ontologies be evaluated?

September 1, 2016
Author(s)
Judith R. Gelernter, Jyoti Jha
Ontologies are semantic tools for Artificial Intelligence. Ontologies list and define objects in a domain and the relationship among objects such as to do reasoning within and among systems. Mistakes within ontologies bring system errors if their use in a

Stabilizing Superionic-Conducting Structures via Mixed-Anion Solid Solutions of Monocarba-Closo-Borate Salts

September 1, 2016
Author(s)
Wan Si NMN Tang, Koji Yoshida, Alexei V. Soloninin, Roman V. Skoryunov, Olga A. Babanova, Alexander V. Skripov, Mirjana NMN Dimitrievska, Vitalie Stavila, Shin-Ichi Orimo, Terrence J. Udovic
Solid lithium and sodium closo-polyborate-based salts are capable of superionic conductivities surpassing even liquid electrolytes, but often only at above-ambient temperatures where their entropically driven disordered phases become stabilized. Here we

The Comet Assay: Methods for Quantitative Image Analysis and Reproducibility

September 1, 2016
Author(s)
Donald H. Atha, Signe Braafladt, Vytautas Reipa
The comet assay,or single cell gel electrophoresis,is a sensitive and efficient technique for analyzing DNA damage in the form of single and double strand breaks in single cells. DNA alteration,from strand breaks,can lead to cancer and other health risks

The Momentum Distribution of Liquid 3 He

September 1, 2016
Author(s)
M. S. Bryan, Timothy R Prisk, Richard Azuah, W. G. Stirling, P.E. Sokol
We present high-resolution neutron Compton scattering measurements of liquid 3He below its renormalized Fermi temperature. Theoretical predictions are in excellent agreement with the experimental data when instrumental resolution and final state effects

The relation between vegetation and storm-water runoff in Portland, Oregon

September 1, 2016
Author(s)
Geoffrey Donovan, David Butry
Past research has examined the effect of urban trees on storm-water runoff using hydrological models or small-scale experiments. However, there has been no statistical analysis of the influence of trees on runoff in an intact urban watershed. We address
