Parallel Geometric Classification of Stem Cells by Their 3D Morphology

July 1, 2013
Author(s)
Derek Juba, Antonio Cardone, Cheuk Y. Ip, Carl Simon Jr., Christopher K. Tison, Girish Kumar, Mary C. Brady
Autologous stem cells show great promise for tissue engineering as they can regenerate diseased or damaged tissue, without requiring an organ donor or causing immune rejection. A primary goal of regenerative medicine is to identify methods for controlling

Trace water vapor analysis in specialty gases: sensor and spectroscopic approaches

July 1, 2013
Author(s)
Kristine A. Bertness, Mark W. Raynor, Kevin C. Cossel, Florian B. Adler, Jun Ye
The analysis of water vapor impurity is important in a number of specialty gas applications. However the main driver for the development and advancement of trace H 2O analysis techniques has been the microelectronics industry. The International Technology

What's in a 'NYM?

July 1, 2013
Author(s)
Robert R. Keller
The field of electron microscopy, by its very diverse nature, abounds with acronyms: AEM, EF-TEM, ESEM, FE-SEM, HREM, HRTEM, HVEM, SEM, STEM, TEM, and VP-SEM, to name some instruments alone. Add in the different forms of data that these instruments might

3D Ground-Truth Systems for Object/Human Recognition and Tracking

June 28, 2013
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Roger V. Bostelman, Kamel Saidi, William P. Shackleford, Geraldine Cheok, Michael O. Shneier, Tsai H. Hong
We have been researching 3D ground-truth systems for performance evaluation of vision and perception systems in the fields of smart manufacturing and robotics safety. In this paper we first present an overview of different systems that have been used to

99.996% 12C films enriched and deposited in situ

June 28, 2013
Author(s)
Kevin J. Dwyer, Joshua M. Pomeroy, David S. Simons
A mass selected ion beam system is used to isotopically enrich and deposit thin films, which are measured to be 99.9961(4)% 12C. In solid state quantum information, isotopic enrichment of materials has allowed significant improvements in the coherence time

Atomic-level stick-slip

June 28, 2013
Author(s)
Robert W. Carpick, Rachel J. Cannara, Ashlie Martini
Atomic level stick-slip refers to the behavior of a sliding interface, usually an atomic force microscope tip sliding along a crystalline surface, whereby the tip sticks and then slips laterally with respect to the surface in a periodic fashion. The

Demonstration of a dressed-state phase gate for trapped ions

June 28, 2013
Author(s)
Ting Rei Tan, John P. Gaebler, Ryan S. Bowler, Yiheng Lin, John D. Jost, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
We demonstrate a trapped ion entangling gate scheme proposed by Bermudez et~al [Phys. Rev. A 85, 040302 (2012)]. Simultaneous excitation of a strong carrier and a single sideband transition enables deterministic creation of entangled states. The method

Experimental study of radiative heat transfer in a translucent fuel sample exposed to different spectral sources

June 28, 2013
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, Nicolas Ball, J. Raynard, Guillermo Rein, Jose L. Torero, M. Forsth, P. Boulet, G. Parent, Z. Acem
Radiative heat transfer to a solid is a key mechanism in fire dynamics, and in-depth absorption is especially of importance for translucent fuels. The sample-heater interaction for radiative heat transfer is experimentally investigated in this study with

Hybrid quantum-well system for wavelength-channel selection

June 28, 2013
Author(s)
Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, Chengjie Zhu
We consider a hybrid quantum-well structure consisting of regions whose properties alternate between active Raman gain and electromagnetically induced transparency. We present both analytical and numerical results that indicate a large light beam defection

Measurement Science for 6DOF object pose ground truth

June 28, 2013
Author(s)
Roger D. Eastman, Jeremy Marvel, Joseph Falco, Tsai H. Hong
Users of perception systems in industrial manufacturing applications need standardized, third party ground truth procedures to validate system performance before deployment. Many manufacturing robotic applications require parts and assemblies to be

Overview of the TREC 2012 Medical Records Track

June 28, 2013
Author(s)
Ellen M. Voorhees, William Hersh
The TREC Medical Records track fosters research that allows electronic health records to be retrieved based on the semantic content of free-text fields. The ability to find records by matching semantic content will enhance clinical care and support the
