Inter-BAN Interference Mitigation: A Correlated Equilibrium Perspective

June 13, 2014
Author(s)
Vladimir Marbukh, Kamran Sayrafian, Martina Barbi, Mehdi Alasti
A Body Area Network (BAN) is a wireless network of wearable or implantable computing devices. A BAN typically consists of several miniaturized radio-enabled body sensor/actuator that communicate with a single coordinator. Medical applications usually

Flux growth of Yb6.6Ir6Sn16 having mixed valent ytterbium

June 12, 2014
Author(s)
Sebastian Peter, Udumula Subbarao, Sudhindra Rayaprol, Joshua Martin, Mahalingam Balasubramanian, Christos D. Malliakas, Mercouri G. Kanatzidis
The new compound Yb6.6Ir6Sn16 was obtained as single crystals in high yield from the reaction of Yb with Ir and Sn run in excess indium. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that Yb6.6Ir6Sn16 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P42/nmc

IREX V: Guidance for Iris Image Collection

June 12, 2014
Author(s)
George W. Quinn, JAmes Matey, Elham Tabassi, Patrick J. Grother
This document provides guidance for the proper collection of iris images. Problems that occur during image acquisition can lead to poor quality samples. If the subject was looking down or blinking at the moment of capture, the image should be rejected and

Photon-Efficient High-Dimensional Quantum Key Distribution

June 12, 2014
Author(s)
Tian Zhong, Hongchao Zhou, Ligong Wang, Gregory Wornell, Zheshen Zhang, Jeffrey Shapiro, Franco N. Wong, Rob Horansky, Varun Verma, Adriana Lita, Richard Mirin, Thomas Gerrits, Sae Woo Nam, Alessandro Restelli, Joshua Bienfang, Francesco Marsili, Matthew Shaw
We demonstrate two high-dimensional QKD protocols - secure against collective Gaussian attacks - yielding up to 8.6 secure bits per photon and 6.7 Mb/s throughput, with 6.9 bits per photon after transmission through 20 km of fiber.

SHREC14 Track: Extended Large Scale Sketch-Based 3D Shape Retrieval

June 12, 2014
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Chunyuan Li
Large scale sketch-based 3D shape retrieval has received more and more attentions in the community of content- based 3D object retrieval. The objective of this track is to evaluate the performance of different sketch-based 3D model retrieval algorithms

SHREC14 Track: Large Scale Comprehensive 3D Shape Retrieval

June 12, 2014
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Chunyuan Li
The objective of this track is to evaluate the performance of 3D shape retrieval approaches on a large-sale com- prehensive 3D shape database which contains different types of models, such as generic, articulated, CAD and architecture models. The track is

SHREC14 Track: Retrieval and classification on Textured 3D Models

June 12, 2014
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil
This contribution reports the results of the SHREC 2014 track: Retrieval and classification on textured 3D models, whose goal is to evaluate the performance of retrieval algorithms when models vary either by geometric shape or texture, or both. The

SHREC14 Track: Shape Retrieval of Non-Rigid 3D Human Models

June 12, 2014
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Chunyuan Li
We have created a new benchmarking dataset for testing non-rigid 3D shape retrieval algorithms, one that is much more challenging than existing datasets. Our dataset features exclusively human models, in a variety of body shapes and poses. 3D models of

BEHAVIOR OF STEEL COMPONENTS SUBJECTED TO LOCALIZED FIRE

June 11, 2014
Author(s)
Chao Zhang, John L. Gross, Lisa Y. Choe
Recent numerical studies on the behavior of steel components subjected to a localized fire are presented. Sequentially coupled thermo-mechanical simulations were conducted to predict the steel temperature distribution, the deformation mode and failure

Fabrication of 200 nm Period Hard X-Ray Phase Gratings

June 11, 2014
Author(s)
Houxun Miao, Andrew A. Gomella, Nicholas Chedid, Lei Chen, Han Wen
Far field x-ray grating interferometry achieves extraordinary phase sensitivity in imaging weakly absorbing samples, provided that the grating period is within the transverse coherence length of the x-ray source. Here we describe a cost-efficient process

Morphological origin of charge transport anisotropy in aligned polythiophene thin films

June 11, 2014
Author(s)
Brendan T. O'Connor, Obadiah G. Reid, Xinran Zhang, Regis J. Kline, Lee J. Richter, David J. Gundlach, Dean DeLongchamp, Michael F. Toney, Nikos Kopidakis, Garry Rumbles
The morphological origin of anisotropic charge transport in uniaxially strain aligned poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) films is investigated. The macroscale field effect mobility anisotropy is measured in an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) configuration

USA - Characteristics, Impacts, and Future Directions

June 11, 2014
Author(s)
Sarah Slaughter, Douglas Thomas, Robert E. Chapman
Investments in the built environment provide the basis for civil society and commerce, and construction is an engine of growth for the U.S. economy, equaling approximately 3 % to 5 % of GDP. Current U.S. annual expenditures for construction-related R&D are

Use of Single Particle Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry to Characterize a New Silver Nanoparticle Reference Material

June 11, 2014
Author(s)
Karen E. Murphy, Jingyu Liu, William F. Guthrie, Justin M. Gorham, John E. Bonevich, Andrew J. Allen, Michael R. Winchester, Vincent A. Hackley, Robert MacCuspie
In this study we use inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry operated in single particle mode (spICP-MS) to simultaneously characterize the size distribution and dissolved silver fraction of a new silver nanoparticle (AgNP) candidate reference
