Estimation of uncertainty in application profiles

October 3, 2014
Author(s)
David W. Flater
Performance is an important facet of software quality, and application profiling tools are the instruments used to measure software performance at the function and application levels. The most powerful measurement method available in application profiling

Towards a Domain-Specific Framework for Predictive Analytics in Manufacturing

October 3, 2014
Author(s)
David J. Lechevalier, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Sudarsan Rachuri
Data analytics is proving to be very useful for achieving productivity gains in manufacturing. Predictive analytics (using advanced machine learning) is particularly valuable in manufacturing, as it leads to production improvement with respect to the cost

Origin of Surface Canting Within Fe 3 O 4 Nanoparticles

October 2, 2014
Author(s)
Kathryn L. Krycka, Julie A. Borchers, R. A. Booth, Y. Ijiri, K. Hasz, J. J. Rhyne, S. A. Majetich
The nature of near-surface spin canting within Fe 3O 4 nanoparticles is highly debated. Here we develop a neutron scattering asymmetry analysis which quantifies the spin canting angle to between 23° and 42° at 1.2 T. Simultaneously, an energy-balance model

A Proposed Interim Check for Field Testing a Laser Tracker's 3-D Length Measurement Capability Using a Calibrated Scale Bar as a Reference Artifact

October 1, 2014
Author(s)
Vincent Lee, Christopher J. Blackburn, Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Daniel Sawyer, Mark Meuret, Aaron Hudlemeyer
This paper describes a proposed interim check for field testing a laser tracker's 3-D length measurement capability using a calibrated scale bar as a reference artifact. The tests described here are constructed to be sensitive to uncompensated errors in

A Review of Risk Perception in Building Fire Evacuation

October 1, 2014
Author(s)
Max T. Kinateder, Erica D. Kuligowski, Paul Reneke, Richard D. Peacock
Risk perception (RP) is studied in many research disciplines (e.g., safety engineering, psychology, or sociology), and the contexts surrounding the ways in which different concepts of RP are applied vary greatly. Definitions of RP can be broadly divided

Amplifier and Transistor Noise-Parameter Measurements

October 1, 2014
Author(s)
James P. Randa
Methods for measuring the noise parameters of amplifiers and on-wafer transistors are reviewed. After some preliminary background information and conventions, noise parameters are defined and the most common measurement strategies are presented, both for

An improved L1 based algorithm for standardized planar datum establishment

October 1, 2014
Author(s)
Craig M. Shakarji, Vijay Srinivasan
This paper has two major goals. First, we present an algorithm for establishing planar datums suitable for a default in tolerancing standards. The algorithm is based on a constrained minimization search based on the L_1 (L1) norm after forming a convex

Differential Properties of the HFE Cryptosystem

October 1, 2014
Author(s)
Taylor Daniels, Daniel Smith-Tone
Multivariate Public Key Cryptography (MPKC) has been put forth as a possible post-quantum family of cryptographic schemes. These schemes lack provable security in the reduction theoretic sense, and so their security against yet undiscovered attacks remains

Dynamic Force Calibration

October 1, 2014
Author(s)
Akobuije Chijioke, Nicholas Vlajic
The consequences of not knowing the value of measured forces in terms of meaningful units are significant. In the first place it becomes impossible to standardize an operation based on the measured force value so that it is independent of the particular
