Predicting Global Failure Regimes in Complex Information Systems

June 19, 2012
Author(s)
Christopher E. Dabrowski, James J. Filliben, Kevin L. Mills
Over the past five years, we investigated methods to characterize global behavior in large distributed systems and applied those methods to predict effects from deploying alternate distributed control algorithms. The methods we used assess global behaviors

Verification and Validation Process of a Fire Model

June 18, 2012
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Simo A. Hostikka
Fire simulation tools are used frequently in the fire safety assessment of nuclear and other industrial installations. They are also used in the context of probabilistic fire risk assessment as deterministic models providing the relation between the random

A New Convexity Measurement for 3D Meshes

June 16, 2012
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Zhouhui Lian
This paper presents a novel convexity measurement for 3D meshes. The new convexity measure is calculated by minimizing the ratio of the summed area of valid regions in a mesh’s six views, which are projected on faces of the bounding box whose edges are

A COMPUTER AIDED SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS FOR DIE-CASTING PROCESS

June 15, 2012
Author(s)
Jatinder Madan, Mahesh Mani, Princepal Singh, Amrik Singh
Currently available sustainability analysis systems for the die-casting process primarily depend on the material properties and do not account for process information. As a result they are unable to assess or compare the sustainability of parts made using

Generation of a 6602100 nm laser frequency comb based on an erbium fiber laser

June 15, 2012
Author(s)
Gabriel G. Ycas, Steve Osterman, Scott A. Diddams
We present a laser frequency comb based upon a 250 MHz mode-locked erbium fiber-laser that spans more than 300 terahertz of bandwidth, from 660 nm to 2000 nm. Broad bandwidth is achieved by making use of Er:fiber and Yb:fiber amplifiers and supercontinuum

Reverberation Chamber Measurement Correlation

June 15, 2012
Author(s)
Ryan J. Pirkl, Catherine A. Remley, Christian S. Lotback Patane
This contribution evaluates the utility of several different metrics for studying reverberation chamber measurement correlation. Metrics considered are the autocovariance, the correlation matrix, and two metrics based upon the entropy of the data

Grand Challenges of Measurement Science with Big Data

June 14, 2012
Author(s)
Peter Bajcsy
This presentation discusses Grand Challenges of Measurement Science with Big Data. It illustrates the difference between Measurement Science with Little Data and Big Data in the domain of cell biology and microscopy image observations.

Magnetic Phase Diagram of Magnetoelectric LiMnPO 4

June 14, 2012
Author(s)
Rasmus Toft-Petersen, Niels H. Andersen, Haifeng Li, Jiying Li, Wei Tian, Sergey L. Bud'ko, Thomas B. S. Jensen, Christof Niedermayer, Mark Laver, Oksana Zaharko, Jeffrey W. Lynn, David Vaknin
The nature of the spin-flop (SF) transition in the magnetoelectric quasi-2D Heisenberg system LiMnPO 4 is studied in fields applied along the a axis. A refinement of the magnetic structure using neutron diffraction data in the SF phase reveals that the
