Conservation Dependencies
Published Wednesday, October 3, 2012Many constraints and rules have been used to analyze data quality: functional, inclusion and sequential dependencies, association rules, etc. Additionally, a broad class of tools not covered by existing constraints may be identified, where a “conservation law” exists between related quantities. Conservation laws, however, are obeyed only to...

Discriminative Facial Verification Software
Published Monday, January 29, 2018In recent years, the performance of face verification systems has significantly improved using deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs). A typical pipeline for face verification includes training a deep network for subject classification with softmax loss, using the penultimate layer output as the feature descriptor, and generating a cosine...

eLVOTD: Estimation of the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Diameter
Published Monday, May 15, 2017The left ventricular outflow tract diameter (LVOTD) is one of two measurements needed to calculate cardiac stroke volume and cardiac output (CO). CO is an important measure of heart function and can help determine the need for inotropic support of the heart. In combination with mean arterial blood pressure, CO can also be used to determine the...

Image Analysis of Circulating Tumor Cell MicroTentacles
Published Wednesday, October 4, 2017The study of circulating tumor cells (CTC) is of considerable interest because of their prognostic value and for therapeutic development. One interesting morphological aspect of CTCs is the presence of microtentacles. Microtenticles are protusions found on the CTCs that are thought to be critically important for...

IMPACT Agent Development System
Published Wednesday, October 11, 2000An intelligent agent is a program that gathers information or performs other services without a user's immediate presence and on a regular schedule. Typically, an agent program, using pre-set parameters, searches and gathers information of interest on a network, and presents it to the user on a periodic basis. For example, agents have been...

Improving Smartphone Battery Life with Cooperative Relaying on LTE Networks
Published Monday, July 13, 2015BackgroundAs smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices have become more powerful and cheaper, devices that communicate through cellular networks have become prevalent, if not ubiquitous. However, the utility of these devices are limited by battery life, which has grown at a much slower pace than processing capability, and data...

Indexing RDF and Temporal RDF Databases
Published Sunday, May 17, 2009Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a widely used World Wide Web Consortium standard. However, the indexing of large volumes of data still poses many difficulties, with methods of indexing still being developed. A certain type of RDF query, a graph based query, necessitates the traversal of edges in the graph determined by an RDF database...
