Terahertz study of Chiral and Racemic crystals
2006-01-01
© Copyright 2006 IEEEWe studied far-infrared signatures of various molecules of biological importance using Terahertz Time-Domain-Spectroscopy. Spectral fingerprints in this frequency range are highly sensitive to the inter-and intra-molecular binding and long range order. As a consequence, phonon-like absorption modes differ, depending on whether a chiral or a racemic polycrystalline powder is used. In this contribution, we will present spectra of various chiral and racemic substances and discuss how our measurements could be used to gain a deeper understanding of inter-and intra-molecular binding.Franz, Morten ; Fischer, Bernd ; Abbott, Derek ; Helm, Hanspeter Publisher: IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Contributor: School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering; International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves (31st : 2006 : Shanghai, China); International Conference on Terahertz Electronics (14th : 2006 : Shangai, China) Other identifier: Joint 31st International Conference on Infrared Millimeter Waves and 14th International Conference on Teraherz Electronics, 2006.

Effect of loss of bolt tightness on the integrity of butt joints under a biaxial stress field
2004-01-01
Structural butt joints are either glued using adhesives or bolted using cover plates to provide sufficient structural integrity. Insulated rail joints are both glued and bolted. The behaviour of such joints subjected to traffic and environmental loading is not well understood and as its analysis is too complex, the problem is broken into a number of sub problems. This paper addresses one of these problems namely the effect of joint looseness on the integrity of structural joints containing glued cover plates. Butt joints subjected to biaxial stress field generated by flexure are investigated using three-dimensional finite element modelling. The analysis was carried out first by pre-stressing the bolts followed by applying in-plane bending. Effect of looseness of the bolts to the deformation characteristics of the joint was particularly examined.

Co-Authorship Networks in the Digital Library Research Community
2005-02-12
The field of digital libraries (DLs) coalesced in 1994: the first digital library conferences were held that year, awareness of the World Wide Web was accelerating, and the National Science Foundation awarded $24 Million (U.S.) for the Digital Library Initiative (DLI). In this paper we examine the state of the DL domain after a decade of activity by applying social network analysis to the co-authorship network of the past ACM, IEEE, and joint ACM/IEEE digital library conferences. We base our analysis on a common binary undirectional network model to represent the co-authorship network, and from it we extract several established network measures. We also introduce a weighted directional network model to represent the co-authorship network, for which we define $AuthorRank$ as an indicator of the impact of an individual author in the network. The results are validated against conference program committee members in the same period. The results show clear advantages of PageRank and AuthorRank over degree, closeness and betweenness centrality metrics. We also investigate the amount and nature of international participation in Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL).

U.S. Perspectives on the Joint Convention
The Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management (Joint Convention) is an international convention, under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). It is a companion to a suite of international conventions on nuclear safety and physical security, which serve to promote a global culture for the safe use of radioactive materials. Although the U.S. was the first nation to sign the Joint Convention on September 29, 1997, the ratification process was a challenging experience for the U.S., in the face of legislative priorities dominated by concerns for national security and threats from terrorism after September 11, 2001. Notwithstanding these prevailing circumstances, the U.S. ratified the Joint Convention in 2003, just prior to the First Review Meeting of the Contracting Parties, and participated fully therein. For the United States, participation as a Contracting Party provides many benefits. These range from working with other Parties to harmonize international approaches to achieve strong and effective nuclear safety programs on a global scale, to stimulating initiatives to improve safety systems within our own domestic programs, to learning about technical innovations by other Parties that can be useful to U.S. licensees, utilities, and industry in managing safety and its associated costs in our waste management activities. The Joint Convention process also provides opportunities to identify future areas of bilateral and multilateral technical and regulatory cooperation with other Parties, as well as an opportunity for U.S. vendors and suppliers to broaden their market to include foreign clients for safety improvement equipment and services. The Joint Convention is consistent with U.S. foreign policy considerations to support, as a priority, the strengthening of the worldwide safety culture in the use of nuclear energy. Because of its many benefits, we believe it is important to take a leadership role in promoting its ratification in the global setting, as well as in more focused regions. At the First Review Meeting of the Contracting Parties, delegations agreed it was highly desirable to have more member states become Contracting Parties. To that end, the United States proposed initiating a Regional Conference Initiative outreach. To launch the Initiative, the U.S. provided Extra-Budgetary contributions to fund conferences, in Africa, the Americans and Southeast Asia. We also provided an expert for each of the conferences to assist in advancing the message to non-member States, in particular developing nations. (authors)

© Copyright 2003 IEEEBackground subtraction is a real time effective technique for detecting moving foreground objects in image sequences from a static camera. Background modelling plays an important role in this technique of foreground object detection. Active real time background modelling in presence of moving foreground objects in the scene and adaption of background model to gradual changes due to gradual illumination changes and addition of new immoveable objects into the scene are addressed in this paper. We present a queue based algorithm for real time, active, and adaptive background modelling. Segmentation of the foreground and robust detection of shadow is performed via comparison with background statistics in YCrCb color space. The problem of a single foreground object splitting into two or more segments due to similarity of foreground pixel color with the background in most cases can be ameliorated with the use of a fast single pass the hysteresis thresholding technique. We demonstrate various results of background modelling, segmentation and shadow detection results for both indoor and outdoor scenes.Kumar, P. ; Ranganath, S. ; Huang, W.

Radiological Protection of Non-Human Species- An Industry Perspective
2004-01-01
In the aftermath of the recent IAEA international conference on the protection of non-human species of last year in Stockholm (October 2003), WNA felt it would be appropriate to offer the IAEA, UNSCEAR, the ICRP and the international scientific community in general, its view on some key messages that we see emerging from this important event and from related on-going international developments on this challenging topic. This paper presents these key messages. We see great merit in the IAEA/ICRP initiatives seeking to incorporate regular stakeholder input in the development of the future system of radiological protection for non-human species. Similarly, there are clear benefits to be gained from a joint IAEA/UNSCEAR/ICRP road map that would ensure clear direction and co-ordination of activities as the process moves forward. For our part, WNA seeks to continue to contribute ...

Forward and inverse kinematics operations are important in the operational space control of mechanical manipulators. In case of a parallel manipulator, the forward kinematics function relates the joint variables of the active joints to the position of end-effector. This paper finds analytically forward kinematics function by exploiting the position-closure property. Using the proposed function along with the analytical Jacobian presented in the literature, the forward and the inverse kinematics blocks are formulated for a prospective operational space control scheme.

Cooperative Agreement (DE-FC21-95EW55101) between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Florida State University's Institute for International Cooperative Environmental Research (IICER) was designed to facilitate a number of joint programmatic goals of both the DOE and the IICER related to international technology identification, development, demonstration and deployment using a variety of mechanisms to accomplish these goals. These mechanisms included: laboratory and field research; technology demonstrations; international training and technical exchanges; data collection, synthesis and evaluation; the conduct of conferences, symposia and high-level meetings; and other appropriate and effective approaches. The DOE utilized the expertise and facilities of the IICER at Florida State University to accomplish its goals related to this cooperative agreement. The IICER has unique and demonstrated capabilities that have been utilized to conduct the tasks for this cooperative agreement. The IICER conducted activities related to technology identification, development, evaluation, demonstration and deployment through its joint centers which link the capabilities at Florida State University with collaborating academic and leading research institutions in the major countries of Central and Eastern Europe (e.g., Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland) and Russia. The activities and accomplishments for this five-year cooperative agreement are summarized in this Final Technical Report.
