A Comparative Analysis of Cascade Measures for Novelty and Diversity

February 10, 2011
Author(s)
Ian M. Soboroff, Charles L. Clarke, Nick Craswell, Azin Ashkan
Traditional editorial effectiveness measures, such as nDCG, remain standard for Web search evaluation. Unfortunately, these traditional measures can inappropriately reward re- dundant information and can fail to reflect the broad range of user needs that

EMPS: Radiation Thermometer Designs

July 1, 2010
Author(s)
Howard Yoon, George P. Eppeldauer
… thermal imagers can be calibrated for use as transfer standards, radiation thermometer designs with the lowest …

Infrared Transfer Radiometer for Broadband and Spectral Calibration of Space Chambers

April 23, 2010
Author(s)
Timothy M. Jung, Adriaan C. Carter, Solomon I. Woods, Simon G. Kaplan, Raju V. Datla
The Low-Background Infrared (LBIR) facility at NIST has recently completed construction of an infrared transfer radiometer with an integrated cryogenic Fourier transform spectrometer (Cryo-FTS). This mobile system can be deployed to customer sites for

Applications of Cross-Correlation Functions

April 14, 2010
Author(s)
Theodore V. Vorburger, Jun-Feng Song, Wei Chu, Li Ma, Xiaoyu A. Zheng, Thomas B. Renegar, Son H. Bui
We describe several examples where we use cross-correlation functions to quantify the similarity of 2D surface profiles or of 3D surface topography images. The applications have included 1) the manufacture of Standard Reference Material (SRM) bullets and

The Limits and Extensibility of Optical Patterned Defect Inspection

April 1, 2010
Author(s)
Richard M. Silver, Bryan M. Barnes, Martin Y. Sohn, Richard Quintanilha, Hui Zhou, Chris Deeb, Mark Johnson, Milton Goodwin, Dilip Patel
… techniques recently developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology using bright field optical tools are …

Neutron radioscopy: industrial and scientific applications

March 15, 2010
Author(s)
Daniel Hussey, Michael A. Hickner
Neutron imaging has been a unique, precise, measurement tool for water transport in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), enabling the direct measurement of the water distribution in standard, commercially viable fuel cell hardware. Thus, in the

An Other-Race Effect for Face Recognition Algorithms

August 19, 2009
Author(s)
P J. Phillips, Alice J. O'Toole, Fang Jiang, Abhijit Narvekar, Julianne Ayadd
Psychological research indicates that humans recognize faces of their own race more accurately than faces of other races. This "other-race effect" occurs for algorithms tested in a recent international competition for state-of-the-art face recognition

An Approach for Assessing Total Cellular DNA Damage

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Marc Roy
The capability to relate phenotypic effects with damage associated with either of the two genomes is especially useful under a number of circumstances. Potential hazardous exposures (e.g. smoking, pesticides, uv-light) can be evaluated for genotoxicity and

Analysis of High-Resolution Infrared and N 1 CARS Spectra of 34 S 18 O 3

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Tony Masiello, J Barber, E T. Chrysostom, J Nibler, A G. Maki, A Weber, Thomas A. Blake, R L. Sams
Three fundamental modes and several hot bands of 34S 18O 3 have been investigated using both infrared spectroscopy and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy (CARS). Coriolis coupling effects are particularly noticeable in 34S 18O 3 due to the
