Enhancing Performance and Safety in Ambulances Through Improved Design Standards

May 18, 2012
Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Mehdi Dadfarnia
This paper describes how modeling and simulation can play a major role in developing standards recommendations for patient compartment layout of automotive ambulances in the United States to improve performance and safety. Acquiring necessary information

Isomorphism Classes of Edwards Curves over Finite Fields

May 18, 2012
Author(s)
Reza Farashahi, Dustin Moody, Hongfeng Wu
Edwards curves are a new model for elliptic curves, which have attracted notice in cryptography. We give exact formulas for the number of F_q-isomorphism classes of Edwards curves and twisted Edwards curves. This answers a question recently asked by R

Micromagnetic investigation of periodic cross-tie/vortex wall geometry

May 18, 2012
Author(s)
Michael J. Donahue
A systematic series of micromagnetic simulations on periodic cross-tie/vortex wall structures in an ideal soft film at various width, thickness, and period lengths is performed. For each width and thickness a natural period length is found which has

A Guide to Using SRM 2569 to Validate Analytical Methods

May 17, 2012
Author(s)
John R. Sieber, John L. Molloy
A user’s guide is presented for Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2569 Lead in Paint Films for Children’s Products. This SRM consists of paint films on coupons of polyester with the paint characterized for mass fraction of Pb, mass of Pb per unit area

Building Occupant Safety Research 2012

May 17, 2012
Author(s)
Richard D. Peacock, Erica D. Kuligowski, Jason D. Averill
Historically, building egress systems have evolved in response to specific large loss incidents. Currently, systems are designed around a concept of providing stair capacity for the largest occupant load floor in the building with little or no

CfA4: 93 Type Ia Supernova Light Curves from the CfA

May 17, 2012
Author(s)
Malcolm Hicken, Peter Challis, Robert Kirshner, Claire E. Cramer, Armin Rest, W. M. Wood-Vasey, Gaspar Bakos, Perry Berlind, Warren R. Brown, Nelson Caldwell, Michael Calkins, Maria Contreras, Gil Esquerdo, Mark Everett, Emilio Falco, Ted Groner, Matthew J. Holman, Robert Hutchison, Michael Pahre, Wayne Peters, Benjamin Ripman, Timothy Spahr, Andrew Szentgyorgyi, Manuel A. Torres, Amali Vaz
We present multi-band photometry of 93 type-Ia supernovae (SN Ia). Data was acquired with the Keplercam instrument between 2006 and 2011 at the F. L. Whipple Observatory of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). Our natural system SN

Using Competitions to Advance the Development of Standard Test Methods for Response Robots

May 17, 2012
Author(s)
Adam S. Jacoff, Raymond Sheh, Ann Virts, Tetsuya Kimura, Johannes Pellenz, Soren Schwertfeger, Jackrit Suthakorn
Competitions are an effective aid to the development and dissemination of standard test methods, especially in rapidly developing, highly varied fields such as Urban Search and Rescue robotics. By exposing the development process to highly developmental
