Predicting Segmentation Accuracy for Biological Cell Images

November 29, 2010
Author(s)
Adele P. Peskin, Alden A. Dima, Joe Chalfoun
We have performed image segmentations on a very large number of images, using a wide variety of imaging conditions and cell lines, in order to study trends in the segmentation results and make predictions about segmentation accuracy. Comparing results from

Time-division SQUID multiplexers with reduced sensitivity to external magnetic fields

November 29, 2010
Author(s)
Greg Stiehl, Hsiao-Mei Cho, Gene C. Hilton, Kent D. Irwin, John A. Mates, Carl D. Reintsema, Barry L. Zink
We have developed time-division SQUID multiplexers to read out large arrays of transition-edge sensor (TES) detectors. These multiplexers are used in many applications that require exquisite control of systematic error. One important application is the

Toward a Preliminary Framework for Assessing the Trustworthiness of Software

November 26, 2010
Author(s)
Elizabeth N. Fong, Charline Cleraux, Frederick E. Boland Jr.
Is trustworthiness of software measurable? The determination of trustworthiness of a piece of software is difficult. There may be different quantifiable representations of trustworthiness. This paper proposes a preliminary framework for assessing the

A Human Inspired Local Ratio-Based Algorithm for Edge Detection in Fluorescent Cell Images

November 25, 2010
Author(s)
Adele P. Peskin, Joe Chalfoun, Alden A. Dima, John T. Elliott, James J. Filliben
We have developed a new semi-automated method for segmenting images of biological cells seeded at low density on tissue culture substrates, which we use to improve the generation of reference data for the evaluation of automated segmentation algorithms

Laplace Random Effects Models for Interlaboratory Studies

November 25, 2010
Author(s)
Andrew L. Rukhin, Antonio M. Possolo
A model is introduced for measurements obtained in collaborative interlaboratory studies, comprising measurement errors and random laboratory effects that have Laplace distributions, possibly with heterogeneous, laboratory-specific variances. Estimators

Biological Cell Feature Identification by a Modified Watershed-Merging Algorithm

November 24, 2010
Author(s)
David E. Gilsinn, Kiran Bhadriraju, John T. Elliott
Biological cells are composed of many subsystems and organelles. The subsystem called the cytoskeleton is composed of long rod-shaped structures. They give the cell form and help attach the cell to the substrate and neighbors. One of the filaments is

Core Manufacturing Simulation Data - UML Model Standard

November 24, 2010
Author(s)
Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Frank H. Riddick
This product, Core Manufacturing Simulation Data (CMSD), addresses interoperability between simulation systems and other manufacturing applications. The CMSD information model is a standard representation for core manufacturing simulation data. It provides

Observation of the red-blue detuning asymmetry in matter-wave superradiance

November 23, 2010
Author(s)
Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, Qiang Cao, Xiaorui Wang, Xinyu Luo, Ruquan Wang, Fan Yang, Xiaoji Zhou, Xuzong Chen, M. G. Payne, Mingsheng Zhan
We show the first experimental observations of matter-wave superradiance using blue-detuned light, and demonstrate a pump-laser detuning asymmetry in the collective atomic recoil motion. In contrast to all previous theoretical treatments, which predict

A Meta-Analysis of Face Recognition Covariates

November 22, 2010
Author(s)
Yui M. Lui, David Bolme, Bruce A. Draper, J. R. Beveridge, Geof H. Givens, P. Jonathon Phillips
This paper presents a meta-analysis for covariates that affect performance of face recognition algorithms. Our review of the literature found six covariates for which multiple studies reported effects on face recognition performance. These are: age of the

Al-Mn Transition Edge Sensors for Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimeters

November 22, 2010
Author(s)
Daniel R. Schmidt, Hsiao-Mei Cho, Johannes Hubmayr, Peter J. Lowell, Michael D. Niemack, Galen C. O'Neil, Joel N. Ullom, Ki W. Yoon, Kent D. Irwin, W L. Holzapfel, M Lueker, E M. George, E Shirokoff
Superconducting transition edge sensors (TES) require superconducting films with transition temperatures (Tc)and properties that can be tailored to the particular requirements of individual applications. We have been developing Al-Mn films with a tunable

Neutron Scattering Study of a Quasi-2D Spin-1/2 Dimer System Piperazinium Hexachlorodicuprate Under Hydrostatic Pressure

November 22, 2010
Author(s)
Tao Hong, Chris Stock, I. Cabrera, Collin L. Broholm, Yiming Qiu, Juscelino Leao, Sarah Poulton, John R. Copley
We report inelastic neutron scattering study of a quasi-two-dimensional S=1/2 dimer system Piperazinium Hexachlorodicuprate under hydrostatic pressure. The spin gap δ becomes softened with the increase of the hydrostatic pressure while the bandwidth of the

GEOMETRICAL MEASUREMENTS OF NIST SRM ROCKWELL HARDNESS DIAMOND INDENTERS

November 21, 2010
Author(s)
Jun-Feng Song, Samuel R. Low III, Xiaoyu A. Zheng
The geometric parameters of 28 candidate Standard Reference Material (SRM) Rockwell hardness diamond indenters are calibrated by an automated system recently developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The calibration results

Microstructure and hydrogen bonding in water-acetonitrile mixtures

November 19, 2010
Author(s)
Raymond D. Mountain
The connection between hydrogen bonding between water and acetonitrile in determining the microheterogeneity of the liquid mixture is examined using NPT molecular dynamics simulations. Mixtures for six, rigid, three-site models for acetonitrile and one

Novel Reduced Pressure-Balance Syringe for Chromatographic Analysis

November 19, 2010
Author(s)
Bret Windom, Thomas J. Bruno
When withdrawing a fluid sample from an apparatus at reduced pressures for additional chromatographic analyses, a gas tight plunger syringe proves ineffective as it does not create a substantial pressure differential to pull a fluid from a reduced pressure
