Recognizing people from dynamic and static faces and bodies: Dissecting identity with a fusion approach

September 13, 2010
Author(s)
Alice J. O'Toole, P. Jonathon Phillips, Samuel Weimer, Dana A. Roark, Julianne Ayadd, Robert Barwick, Joseph Dunlop
The goal of this study was to evaluate human accuracy at identifying people from static and dynamic presentations of faces and bodies. Participants matched identity in pairs of videos depicting people in motion (walking or conversing) and in \best" static

Editorial: Message From the Outgoing Editors

Some four years ago, we took the responsibility for editing this TRANSACTIONS. Our editorial duties have now ended. It has been a privilege and honor to serve our readers and our authors.

In-situ Stress Measurements During Electrodeposition of Au-Ni Alloys

September 10, 2010
Author(s)
Eric Rouya, Gery R. Stafford, Carlos R. Beauchamp, J. A. Floro, R. G. Kelly, Reed L. M., Zangari G.
We investigate the stress evolution in-situ during the potentiostatic electrodeposition of metastable, nanostructured Au-Ni alloy films, and develop a correlation between the alloy nucleation and growth mode, the growth rate, alloy composition and the

Remote sensing and control of phase qubits

September 10, 2010
Author(s)
Dale Li, Fabio C. Da Silva, Danielle Braje, Raymond W. Simmonds, David P. Pappas
We demonstrate a remote sensing design of phase qubits by separating the control and readout circuits from the qubit loop. This design improves measurement reliability because the control readout chip can be fabricated using more robust materials and can

A More General Type A Evaluation

September 9, 2010
Author(s)
Ruediger Kessel, Raghu N. Kacker, Klaus-Dieter Sommer
The evaluation of uncertainty according to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in measurement is the internationally agreed procedure to evaluate the complete result statement in measurement including measurement uncertainty. It distinguishes two

An Analytical Model for Pulse Shape and Electrothermal Stability in Two-Body Microcalorimeters

September 9, 2010
Author(s)
Douglas A. Bennett, Robert D. Horansky, Daniel R. Schmidt, Daniel S. Swetz, Leila R. Vale, Joel N. Ullom, Andrew Hoover, Michael W. Rabin, Nathan J. Hoteling
High resolution superconducting gamma-ray sensors show potential for the more accurate analysis of nuclear material. These devices are part of a larger class of microcalorimeters and bolometers based on transition edge sensors (TESs) that have two distinct

BioPAX A Community Standard for Pathway Data Sharing

September 9, 2010
Author(s)
Robert N. Goldberg, Michael Cary, Erek Demir
BioPAX (Biological Pathway Exchange) is a standard language to represent biological pathways and processes at the molecular and cellular level. Its major use is to facilitate the exchange of pathway data (http://www.biopax.org). Pathway data captures our

Generation of optical coherent-state superpositions by number-resolved photon subtraction from the squeezed vacuum

September 9, 2010
Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Scott C. Glancy, Tracy S. Clement, Brice R. Calkins, Adriana E. Lita, Aaron Miller, Aaron J. Miller, Alan L. Migdall, Sae Woo Nam, Richard P. Mirin, Emanuel H. Knill
We have created heralded coherent-state superpositions (CSSs) by subtracting up to three photons from a pulse of squeezed vacuum light. To produce such CSSs at a sufficient rate, we used our high-efficiency photon-number-resolving transition edge sensor to

High Resolution Tunnelling Spectroscopy of a Graphene Quartet

September 9, 2010
Author(s)
Alexander F. Otte, Young Kuk, Yike Hu, David Torrance, Phillip First, Walt A. de Heer, Hongki Min, Shaffique Adam, Mark D. Stiles, Allan H. MacDonald, Joseph A. Stroscio
Electrons in a single sheet of graphene behave quite differently from those in traditional two-dimensional electron systems. Like massless relativistic particles, they have linear dispersion and chiral eigenstates. Furthermore, two sets of electrons

Measuring Up to Sustainable Water: Report from the 2010 NIST/Virginia Tech. Water Workshop

September 9, 2010
Author(s)
Lauren F. Greenlee, Jessica D. Torrey, Stephanie A. Hooker, Michael J. Fasolka, Sunil K. Sinha, Marc A. Edwards
Securing water sources of sufficient quality and quantity poses a major barrier to growing communities. Major investments in capitol and materials are planned in water treatment and distribution system infrastructure over the next several decades, but

Phases of a 2D Bose Gas in an Optical Lattice

September 9, 2010
Author(s)
Karina K. Jimenez Garcia, Yu-Ju Lin, James V. Porto, Ian B. Spielman
Ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices realize essential models in condensed matter physics. Like with most experiments with ultra-cold atoms, our Rubidium-87 Bose Einstein condensate is confined in a harmonic trapping potential that persists even when

Study on Noise Reduction in Up-conversion Single Photon Detectors

September 9, 2010
Author(s)
Lijun Ma, Oliver T. Slattery, Xiao Tang
Up-conversion single photon detector technology has been established as efficient for photons in near infrared range. However, its dark count rate is a major concern for some applications in quantum optics. We have theoretically and experimentally studied

Phase Equilibria of the Ba-Sm-Y-Cu-O System for Coated Conductor Applications

September 8, 2010
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Guangyao Liu, Zhi Yang, James A. Kaduk, Lawrence P. Cook
The complex phase relationships near the BaO-poor region of the quaternary Ba-Sm-Y-Cu-O oxide system prepared in pure air (pO2 = 22 kPa, 950 ºC) and in 0.1% O2 (pO2=100 Pa, 810 ºC) have been determined. This investigation also included the subsolidus

Scientific Issues with Analysis of Low Amounts of DNA

September 7, 2010
Author(s)
John Butler, Becky Steffen
Faced with limited evidence that yield low amounts of DNA, forensic analysts will continually have to confront the question of how far to push DNA testing techniques. Low copy number (LCN) analysis, also known as low template DNA (LT-DNA) testing, involves
