Advances in Thermometry

January 1, 2016
Author(s)
Michael R. Moldover, Weston L. Tew, Howard W. Yoon
The last 25 years have seen tremendous progress in thermometry in the moderate temperature range (1 K to 1235 K). Various primary thermometers — based on different physics —have uncovered errors in the International Temperature Scale of 1990 and set the

An Effective Video Synopsis Approach with Seam Carving

January 1, 2016
Author(s)
Hamid Gharavi
With a growth of surveillance cameras, the amount of captured videos expands. Manually analyzing and retrieving surveillance video is labor intensive and expensive. It would be much more convenient to generate a video digest, with which we can view the

ASTM Workshop on Standards & Measurements for Tissue Engineering Scaffolds

January 1, 2016
Author(s)
Carl G. Simon Jr., John Test, Michael Yaszemski, Reto Luginbuehl, Anthony Ratcliffe, Paul Tomlins
A “Workshop on Standards & Measurements for Tissue Engineering Scaffolds” was held on May 21, 2013 and was sponsored by the American Society of Testing and Materials International (ASTM International) in Indianapolis, IN. The purpose of the workshop was to

Chapter 154. Choline | Properties and Determination

January 1, 2016
Author(s)
Melissa M. Phillips
Choline is an essential nutrient that is required for normal cell function, with involvement in numerous cellular processes. Choline can be produced via de novo biosynthesis, but must be complimented with dietary intake to support optimum health. Foods

Cyber-Physical Social Systems: Getting People into the Loop

January 1, 2016
Author(s)
Sulayman Sowe, Eric D. Simmon, Koji Zettsu, Frederic J. de Vaulx, Irena Bojanova
This paper outlines the need to effectively integrate people into the design of a new generation of Cyber-Physical Social Systems (CPSS) and proposes a Human Service Capability Description Model to do it.

Density measurements of compressed-liquid dimethyl ether + pentane mixtures

January 1, 2016
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Eric W. Lemmon
Compressed-liquid densities of three compositions of the binary mixture dimethyl ether (CAS No. 115-10-6) + pentane (CAS No. 109-66-0) have been measured with a vibrating U-tube densimeter. Measurements were made at temperatures from 270 K to 390 K with

Design of a breast phantom for quantitative MRI

January 1, 2016
Author(s)
Kathryn E. Keenan, Sheye O. Aliu, Lisa J. Wilmes, David C. Newitt, Ella F. Jones, Wen Li, Michael A. Boss, Nola M. Hylton
Purpose: We present a breast phantom designed to enable quantitative assessment of measurements of T 1 relaxation time, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and other attributes of breast tissue, with long-term support from a national metrology institute

Growth of one-dimensional nanomaterials in the ETEM
