Color Error in the Digital Camera Image Capture Process

April 1, 2014
Author(s)
John Penczek, Paul A. Boynton, Jolene Splett
The color error of images taken by digital cameras is evaluated with respect to its sensitivity to the image capture conditions. A parametric study was conducted to investigate the dependence of image color error on camera technology, illumination spectra

Decision-Theoretic Aspects of Meta-Analysis

April 1, 2014
Author(s)
Andrew L. Rukhin
In the random-effects model of meta-analysis a canonical representation of the restricted likelihood function is obtained. The relationship between the common mean estimators and the heterogeneity variance estimators is explored via this representation. An

Establishing an upper bound on contact resistivity of ohmic contacts to n-GaN nanowires

April 1, 2014
Author(s)
Paul T. Blanchard, Kristine A. Bertness, Todd E. Harvey, Norman A. Sanford
Contact resistivity ρ c is an important figure of merit in evaluating and improving the performance of electronic and optoelectronic devices. Due to the small size, unique morphology, and uncertain transport properties of semiconductor nanowires (NWs)

Estimating Fault Detection Effectiveness

April 1, 2014
Author(s)
David R. Kuhn, Raghu N. Kacker, Yu Lei
[Poster] A t-way covering array can detect t-way faults, however they generally include other combinations beyond t-way as well. For example, a particular test set of all 5-way combinations is shown capable of detecting all seeded faults in a test program

Human Engineering Design Criteria Standards Part 3: Interim Steps

April 1, 2014
Author(s)
Susanne M. Furman, Mary Theofanos, Hannah Wald
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requires general human systems integration (HSI) criteria for the design and development of human-machine interfaces for the technology, systems, equipment, and facilities employed by its user population. HSI is

Influence of Internal Curing and Viscosity Modifiers on Resistance to Sulfate Attack

April 1, 2014
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, Jeffrey M. Davis, Max A. Peltz, Kenneth A. Snyder
Sulfate attack is one of the common degradation mechanisms for concrete in severe environments. While various strategies for minimizing sulfate attack are well recognized, including using an ASTM C150 Type V cement and/or reducing water-to-cementitious

Measuring Stem Cell Dimensionality in Tissue Scaffolds

April 1, 2014
Author(s)
Carl G. Simon Jr., Sapun Parekh, Christopher K. Tison, Girish Kumar, Tanya M. Farooque, Charles H. Camp
Many 3D scaffold systems have evolved for tissue engineering, drug screening and in vitro tissue models. However, it is not clear which scaffolds provide a 3D cell niche and there is no clear way to measure cell niche dimensionality. Advances in 3D niche

N-methylmesoporphyrin IX fluorescence as a reporter of strand orientation in guanine quadruplexes

April 1, 2014
Author(s)
Navin C. Sabharwal, Victoria Savikhin, Joshua Turek-Herman, John M. Nicoludis, Veronika Szalai, Liliya Yatsunyk
Guanine quadruplexes (GQ) are four-stranded DNA structures formed by guanine-rich DNA sequences. Formation of GQs inhibits cancer cell survival, but detecting GQs in vivo has proved difficult, in part because of GQ structural diversity. Development of GQ

Phase-Sensitive Small-Angle Neutron Scattering

April 1, 2014
Author(s)
Charles F. Majkrzak, Kathryn L. Krycka, Susan Krueger, Norman F. Berk, Paul A. Kienzle, Brian B. Maranville
A method is described for determining the neutron scattering length density distribution of a molecular scale object directly from phase-sensitive small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The structure factor amplitude is obtained through the use of a
