Justin M. Zook, James Priest, Rachel Goldfeder, Megan Grove, Daryl Waggott, Matthew Wheeler, Euan Ashley, Marc L. Salit
As next-generation sequencing is becoming routinely applied to clinical care, the predictive characteristics and limitations of whole exome and whole genome sequencing need to be well-understood. The Genome in a Bottle Consortium has recently published a

Systematic Measurement of Marginal Mark Types on Voting Ballots

July 24, 2015
Author(s)
Andrea V. Bajcsy, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Mary C. Brady
The presence of marginal marks on voting ballots is a ubiquitous problem in voting systems and it is a common source of dispute during federal and state-level elections. As of today, marginal marks are neither clearly countable as votes or as non-votes by

Measurement of Nanomaterials in Foods: Integrative Consideration of Challenges and Future Prospects

Author(s)
Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Melissa Taylor, Anil K. Jain, Qijun Zhao
Fingerprint image synthesis has received considerable attention because of its potential use in generating large databases to evaluate the performance of fingerprint recognition systems. Existing fingerprint synthesis algorithms (e.g., SFinGe) focus on

SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING INDICATOR REPOSITORY

May 2, 2011
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Prabir Sarkar, Che B. Joung, John Carrell
Sustainable manufacturing promotes manufacturing processes that minimize environmental and social impacts while maintaining economic benefits. To achieve this, manufacturers seek metrics and measurement methods to enable them to track the progress and

Optical and Structural Study of GaN Nanowires Grown by Catalyst-Free MBE: (II) Defect-Related Luminescence and Electron-Beam Irradiation Effects

June 1, 2007
Author(s)
Lawrence H. Robins, Kristine A. Bertness, John G. Barker, Norman A. Sanford, John B. Schlager
GaN nanowires grown by catalyst free molecular beam epitaxy were characterized by photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy at temperatures from 3 K to 295 K. Both as grown samples, which contained approximately vertically oriented
