Data Logger Thermometers for Vaccine Temperature Monitoring

November 23, 2012
Author(s)
Michal J. Chojnacky
Complete and accurate records of vaccine temperature history are vital to preserving drug potency and patient safety, yet many vaccine providers do not use continuous temperature monitoring systems in their vaccine refrigerators. We evaluated the

Design and Usage Guide for Version 0.92 of the Quality Information Framework Data Model and XML (Extensible Markup Language) Schemas

November 23, 2012
Author(s)
Fiona Zhao, Thomas Kramer, Robert Brown, Scott Hoffman, Matt Hoffman, William G. Rippey, Robert Stone
This document describes the design approach used for implementing version 0.92 of the Quality Information Framework (QIF) data model, including implementation practices for the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Schema Definition Language (XSD) schemas that

Statistical Analysis of Reader Measurement Variability in Nodule Sizing with CT Phantom Imaging Data

November 23, 2012
Author(s)
John Lu, Charles D. Fenimore, Nicholas Petrick, Rongping Zeng, Marios A. Gavrielides, David Clunie, Kristin Borradaile, Robert Ford, Hyun J. Kim, Michael McNitt-Gray, Binsheng Zhao, Andrew Buckler
RSNA has conducted a phantom quantitative imaging biomarker (QIBA) study to assess reader measurement variability of both spherical and non-spherical nodules using CT imaging. Statistical analysis of intra-reader and inter-reader variability of volume

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
