Significance Test in Speaker Recognition Data Analysis with Data Dependency

October 17, 2012
Author(s)
Jin Chu Wu, Alvin F. Martin, Craig S. Greenberg, Raghu N. Kacker, Vincent M. Stanford
To evaluate the performance of speaker recognition systems, a detection cost function defined as a weighted sum of the probabilities of type I and type II errors is employed. The speaker datasets may have data dependency due to multiple uses of the same

Recommendation for Applications Using Approved Hash Algorithms

August 24, 2012
Author(s)
Quynh H. Dang
Hash functions that compute a fixed-length message digest from arbitrary length messages are widely used for many purposes in information security. This document provides security guidelines for achieving the required or desired security strengths when

Structure-property relationships for methyl-terminated alkyl self-assembled monolayers

July 20, 2011
Author(s)
Frank W. DelRio, Dave Rampulla, Cherno Jaye, Gheorghe Stan, Richard S. Gates, Daniel A. Fischer, Robert F. Cook
Structure-property relationships for methyl-terminated alkyl self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are developed using near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). NEXAFS C K-edge spectra are used to compute

Contact and Stress Anisotropies in Start Up Flows of Collodial Suspensions

September 11, 2009
Author(s)
Nicos Martys, William L. George, Didier Lootens, Pascal Hebraud
Spatio-temporal correlations in start-up flows of attractive colloids are explored by numerical simulations. The suspension is first allowed to flocculate during a time tw, then the stress necessary to induce its flow is computed. Whereas at low volume

Proceedings of the Dynamic Measurement and Control for Autonomous Manufacturing Workshop

May 29, 2009
Author(s)
Tsai H. Hong, Roger D. Eastman, Roger V. Bostelman, Hui-Min Huang, B. McMorris
The Dynamic Measurement workshop was held on October 10 - 11, 2007 at the Columbia Graduate Center of Loyola College in Maryland. Forty-eight people attended the one-day-and-a-half event which was moderated by Roger Bostelman and Tsai Hong of National

Bifurcations, Center Manifolds, and Periodic Solutions

January 15, 2009
Author(s)
David E. Gilsinn
Nonlinear time delay differential equations are well known to have arisen in models in physiology, biology, and population dynamics. They have also arisen in models of metal cutting processes. Machine tool chatter, from a process called regenerative

EQUATION OF STATE AND THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF HELIUM-3

April 3, 2007
Author(s)
Yonghua Huang, G.B. Chen, V. Arp, Ray Radebaugh
Experimental data of the thermophysical properties of 3He were mined into a searchable database. Equilibrium equations along the vapor-liquid and liquid-solid lines were proposed. A general equation of state for normal fluid 3He based on the Debye specific

Evaluation of the 3D Compositional Fluctuation Effect on Line-Edge-Roughness

February 25, 2007
Author(s)
Shuhui Kang, Wen-Li Wu, B D. Vogt, Vivek Prabhu, Eric K. Lin, Karen Turnquest
Line-edge-roughness (LER) and the relationship to resist processing and materials design is a critical problem for sub-65 nm photolithography. In this work we investigate how chemical composition fluctuations (heterogeneity) produced by the reaction

Traceable Micro-Force Calibration for Instrumented Indentation Testing

February 13, 2007
Author(s)
Douglas T. Smith, Gordon A. Shaw, Richard Seugling, Jon R. Pratt, Dan Xiang
We describe the development, performance and application of an accurate SI-traceable force calibration and verification system for potential use in the field calibration of commercial instrumented indentation testing (IIT) instruments. The system consists

Fast Algorithms for Structured Least Squares

April 1, 2006
Author(s)
Anoop Kalsi, Dianne M. O'Leary
We consider the problem of solving least squares problems involving a matrix M of small displacement rank with respect to two matrices Z1 and Z2. We develop formulas for the generators of the matrix MHM in terms of the generators of M and show that the

Impulsive Loading of Cellular Media in Sandwich Construction

July 31, 2005
Author(s)
Joseph A. Main, George A. Gazonas
Motivated by recent efforts to mitigate blast loading using energy absorbing materials, this paper investigates the uniaxial crushing of cellular media in sandwich construction under impulsive pressure loading. The cellular core material is modeled using a

Achieving Intelligent Performance in Autonomous On-Road Driving

October 1, 2004
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff, J L. Evans, Anthony J. Barbera, James S. Albus, Elena R. Messina, Stephen B. Balakirsky
… and comparing that with accomplishments to date, analyzing computing power requirements by comparison with the human …
