TRECVID 2010 - An Overview of the Goals, Tasks, Data, Evaluation Mechanisms, and Metrics

April 15, 2011
Author(s)
Paul D. Over, George M. Awad, Jonathan G. Fiscus, Brian Antonishek, Martial Michel, Alan Smeaton, Wessel Kraaij, Georges Quenot
The TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation (TRECVID) 2010 was a TREC-style video analysis and retrieval evaluation, the goal of which remains to promote progress in content-based exploitation of digital video via open, metrics-based evaluation. Over the last 10

A Feature-preserved Canonical Form for Non-rigid 3D Meshes

April 14, 2011
Author(s)
Zhouhui Lian, Afzal A. Godil
Measuring the dissimilarity between non-rigid objects is a challenging problem in 3D shape retrieval. One potential solution is to construct the models’ 3D canonical forms (i.e., isometry-invariant representations in 3D Euclidean space) on which any rigid

Load Combination Requirements in ASCE Standard 7-10: New Developments

April 14, 2011
Author(s)
Therese P. McAllister, Bruce Ellingwood
The fundamental load combination requirements for strength design (or load and resistance factor design) appearing in Section 2.3 of ASCE Standard 7-10 advance those first developed and implemented in 1982, which since have achieved a state of maturity and

Reference Modulation for Calibrated Measurements of Tag Backscatter

April 14, 2011
Author(s)
Daniel G. Kuester, David R. Novotny, Jeffrey R. Guerrieri, Randy Direen, Zoya Popovic
We present a model and reference backscatter device for calibrating measurements of 860-960 MHz Ultra-High Fre- quency (UHF) tag backscattering. The model relates transmission to and backscattering from the device with a modulation depth calculable from

SHREC11 Track: Generic Shape Retrieval

April 14, 2011
Author(s)
Helin Dutagaci, Afzal A. Godil
In this paper we present the results of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest 2011 (SHREC’11) track on generic shape retrieval. The aim of this track is to evaluate the performance of 3D shape retrieval algorithms that can operate on arbitrary 3D models. The

A new interface defect spectroscopy method

April 13, 2011

A Route to Quantum Magnetism

April 13, 2011
Author(s)
Ian B. Spielman
The trend in using ultracold atoms as simulators of condensed-matter and many-body phenomena is gaining momentum. These systems can now be used to simulate quantum magnetism.

Differences in Polydimethylsiloxane Modification Methods Affect Laminin Deposition and Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation

April 13, 2011
Author(s)
Joy P. Dunkers, Hae-Jeong Lee, Marvi Matos, Lisa Pakstis, Juan M. Taboas, Steven D. Hudson, Marcus T. Cicerone
When culturing cells on flexible surfaces, it is important to consider extracellular matrix treatments that will remain on the surface under mechanical strain. Here we investigate differences in laminin surfaces that were deposited on oxidized PDMS (plasma

Estimating Common Parameters in Heterogeneous Random Effects Models

April 13, 2011
Author(s)
Andrew L. Rukhin
A question of fundamental importance for meta-analysis of heterogeneous data studies is how to form a best consensus estimator of common parameters, and what uncertainty to attach to the estimate. This issue is addressed for a class of unbalanced linear
