Thermal Analysis of a Small Pharmaceutical Refrigerator for Vaccine Storage

November 23, 2012
Author(s)
Michal J. Chojnacky
Each year, billions of dollars of vaccines are stored in refrigerators at the facilities of a variety of medical providers. Many vaccines must be maintained in the range 2 °C to 8 °C to retain product potency. As an extension to our study of household and

Demographic Effects on Estimates of Automatic Face Recognition Performance

November 22, 2012
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, Alice J. O'Toole, Xiaobo An, Joseph Dunlop
The intended applications of automatic face recognition systems include venues that vary widely in demographic diversity. Formal evaluations of algorithms do not commonly consider the effects of population diversity on performance. We document the effects

Formation of Extended Ionomeric Network by Bulk Polymerization of L,D-lactide with Layered Double Hydroxide

November 22, 2012
Author(s)
Edward D. McCarthy, Mauro Zammarano, Douglas M. Fox, Ryan Nieuwendaal, Yeon S. Kim, P H. Maupin, Paul C. Trulove, Jeffrey W. Gilman
We report the formation of an ionomeric network in a poly(L,D-lactide) hybrid nanocomposite, (PLDLA-HYB) during in-situ melt polymerization of L,D lactide in the presence of magnesium/aluminium layered-double-hydroxide (LDH) without added catalyst. The

Correction of Optical Aberrations in Elliptic Neutron Guides

November 21, 2012
Author(s)
Phllip M. Bentley, Shane J. Kennedy, Ken H. Andersen, Damian Martin Rodriguez, David F. Mildner
Modern, nonlinear ballistic neutron guides are an attractive concept in neutron beam delivery and instrumentation, because they offer increased performance over straight or linearly tapered guides. However, like other ballistic geometries they have the

Magnetic Order and Fluctuations in the Presence of Quenched Disorder in the Kagome Staircase System (Co 1-x Mg x ) 3 V 2 O 8

November 21, 2012
Author(s)
K. Fritsch, Zahra Yamani, S. Chang, Yiming Qiu, John R. Copley, M. Ramazanoglu, H. A. Dabkowska, B. D. Gaulin
Co 3V 2O 8 is an orthorhombic magnet in which S=3/2} magnetic moments reside on two crystallographically inequivalent Co 2+ sites, which decorate a stacked, buckled version of the two dimensional kagome lattice, the stacked kagome staircase. The magnetic

A frequency-bandgap waveguide controlled with metafilms composed of cubic particles

November 20, 2012
Author(s)
Sung Kim, Christopher L. Holloway, Michael D. Janezic, Kendra L. Kumley, James R. Baker-Jarvis, Edward Kuester
We present a rectangular S-band waveguide having electromagnetic bandgap properties (stopbands) controlled with sheets of metafilms composed of ceramic particles, in which we present both analytic and experimental results. Metafilms composed of TiO("d)2

A Grassmann Manifold-based Domain Adaptation Approach

November 20, 2012
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, Jingjing Zheng, Ming-Yu Liu, Rama Chellappa
Domain adaptation algorithms that handle shifts in the distribution between training and testing data are receiving much attention in computer vision. Recently, a Grassmann manifold-based domain adaptation algorithm that models the domain shift using

Smart Networked Systems and Societies: Research Challenges

November 20, 2012
Author(s)
Ram D. Sriram
We are witnessing a new revolution in computing and communication. The Internet, which has spanned several networks in a wide variety of domains, is having a significant impact on every aspect of our lives. The next generation of networks will utilize a

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Face Challenge Problem

November 20, 2012
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, J. R. Beveridge, Bruce A. Draper, Geof H. Givens, Alice J. O'Toole, David Bolme, Joseph Dunlop, Yui M. Lui, Hassan A. Sahibzada, Samuel Weimer
The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly Face Challenge Problem was created to encourage the development of algorithms that are robust to recognition across changes that occur in still frontal faces. The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly consists of three partitions. The

Absolute line intensities for ethylene from 1800 to 2350 cm-1.

November 17, 2012
Author(s)
Walter J. Lafferty, Jean-Marie Flaud, A. Ben Hassen, F. K. Kwabia Tchana, X Landsheere, H Aroui
Fourteen Fourier transform spectra of ethylene (C2H4) have been recorded in the 1800-2350 spectral domain with different path-lengths and pressures and used to derive individual line intensities for lines belonging to the ν7 + ν8, ν4 + ν8 , ν6 + ν10, ν6 +

Capillary Wave Dynamics of Thin Polymer films over Submerged Nanostructures

November 16, 2012
Author(s)
Christopher L. Soles, Hyun W. Ro, K. J. Alvine, Oleg Shpyrko, Yenling Dai, Alec Sandy, Suresh Narayanan
The surface dynamics of thin molten polystyrene films supported by nanoscale periodic silicon line-space gratings were investigated with X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. Surface dynamics over these nanostructures exhibit high directional anisotropy

A Reference Modulated Scatterer for ISO18000-6 UHF Tag Testing

November 15, 2012
Author(s)
David R. Novotny, Daniel G. Kuester, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri
We present a method for measuring Ultra-High Frequency Radio-Frequency Identification (UHF RFID) tag differential RCS that has the potential for being easier and more accurate than current and proposed methods [1-2]. This method is based on accurately
