Workflow and Electronic Health Records in Small Medical Practices

April 2, 2012
Author(s)
Mala Ramaiah, Eswaran Subrahmanian, Ram D. Sriram, Bettijoyce B. Lide
This paper analyzes the workflow and implementation of electronic health record (EHR) systems across different functions in small physician offices. We characterize the differences in the offices based on the levels of computerization in terms of workflow

Mechanisms of free radical-induced damage to DNA

April 1, 2012
Author(s)
M Miral Dizdar, Pawel Jaruga
Endogenous and exogenous sources cause free radical-induced DNA damage in living organisms by a variety of mechanisms. The highly reactive hydroxyl radical reacts with the heterocyclic DNA bases and the sugar moiety near or at diffusion-controlled rates by

Neutron Studies of Tb 2 Mo 2 O 7

April 1, 2012
Author(s)
Jason S. Gardner, G. Ehlers, S. O. Diallo
We have used the new high energy resolution spectrometer (BaSis), at the Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge, to conclusively prove the existence of a low energy mode at 0.34(1) meV in the spin glass Tb 2mo 2O 7. This mode is reminiscent of the

Optical fiber-coupled cryogenic radiometer with carbon nanotube absorber

April 1, 2012
Author(s)
David J. Livigni, Nathan A. Tomlin, Christopher L. Cromer, John H. Lehman
A cryogenic radiometer was constructed for direct-substitution optical fiber power measurements. The cavity is intended to operate at the 3 K temperature stage of a dilution refrigerator or 4.2 K stage of a liquid cryostat. The optical fiber is removable

The Evolution of Time Measurement Part V: Radio Controlled Clocks

April 1, 2012
Author(s)
Michael A. Lombardi
A historical article about the origins and the development of radio controlled clocks (Part IV of a IV-part series). It describes the first time signal radio stations, the early use of telegraphic time codes, and the modern use of digital time codes. It

Electronic properties of multilayer graphene

March 31, 2012
Author(s)
Hongki Min
In this chapter, we study the electronic structure of arbitrarily stacked multilayer graphene in the absence or presence of magnetic field. Energy band structure and Landau level spectrum are obtained using a pi-orbital continuum model with nearest

Graphene Carrier Transport Theory

March 31, 2012
Author(s)
Shaffique Adam
In this chapter we study the mechanisms for carrier transport in two dimensional graphene sheets. We demonstrate that at high carrier density, graphene's transport properties depend both on the type of impurities present and on graphene's screening

Nonlinear Modal Analysis of Structures with Rigid-End Offsets

March 31, 2012
Author(s)
Kevin K. Wong
The nonlinear modal analysis (NMA) methodology for analyzing moment-resisting framed structures is here extended to include frame elements with rigid-end offsets. Four keys components of the NMA methodology for conducting dynamic analysis of nonlinear

Criteria Towards Metrics for Benchmarking Template Protection Algorithms

March 30, 2012
Author(s)
Eddy Simoens, Bian Yang, Xuebing Zhou, Filipe Beato, Christoph Busch, Elaine M. Newton, Bart Preneel
Traditional criteria used in biometric performance evaluation do not cover all the performance aspects of biometric template protection (BTP) and the lack of well-defined metrics inhibits the proper evaluation of such methods. Previous work in the

Crystal Structure of the Type I Clathrate Ba8Ni4Ge42

March 30, 2012
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Qingzhen Huang, Igor Levin, Joseph C. Woicik, Xun Shi, Jihui Yang, James A. Kaduk
The crystal structure of Type-I clathrate Ba8Ni4Ge42 has been determined using neutron powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM, for possible superlattice), extended X-ray absorption fine structure measurements. Ba8Ni4Ge42 is cubic with

Modeling for Optimal Ambulance Patient Compartment Layout

March 30, 2012
Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Yung-Tsun 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

Positively-charged Dimethacrylates to Reduce Bacterial Attachment

March 30, 2012
Author(s)
Nancy J. Lin, Joseph M. Antonucci, Diana N. Zeiger, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Kathy Tang
The widespread incidence of recurrent tooth decay (caries) highlights the need for improved dental restorative materials. Caries are most frequently caused by acid-producing bacterial biofilms. One approach for developing biomaterials with reduced

Quantum interface between an electrical circuit and a single atom

March 30, 2012
Author(s)
Jacob M. Taylor, Dvir Kafri, David Kielpinski, G J. Milburn, M J. Woolley
Atomic systems are remarkably well suited to storage and processing of quantum information. However, their properties are tightly constrained by physical law, causing difficulties in interfacing to optical or electronic devices. On the other hand, quantum

Evaluation of Fusion Methods for Latent Fingerprint Matchers

March 29, 2012
Author(s)
Vladimir N. Dvornychenko
Matcher fusion is a recognized approach for improving biometric system performance. Our interest in fusion was largely to determine how much performance "headroom" exists with current matcher technology. We employed five latent fingerprint matchers, having
