optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be correlated with findings on confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) imaging, including fluoresceinand ICGangiography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF) – or reflectance images, in exact topographic correspondance. Simultaneous acquisition is time-efficient and facilitates correlation of findings in the different imaging modalities. Eye tracking allows...

Digital circuit physical unclonable function (PUF) have been attracting attentions for the merits of resilience to the environmental and operational variations that analog PUFs suffer from. Existing state-ofthe-art digital circuit PUFs, however, are either hybrid of analog-digital circuits which are still under the shadow of vulnerability, or impractical for real-world applications. In this wor...

We present SD-SQL Server, a prototype scalable distributed database system. It let a relational table to grow over new storage nodes invisibly to the application. The evolution uses splits dynamically generating a distributed range partitioning of the table. The splits avoid the reorganization of a growing database, necessary for the current DBMSs and a headache for the administrators. We illus...

Abstract Motivated by a need to understand spin-momentum transport in CPP (current perpendicular to the plane) structures, a quantum field theoretical treatment of spin-spin interactions in ferromagnets is presented. The sd interaction of the conduction electrons and the magnetic medium is treated non-perturbatively from first principles in real space. The localized magnetic moments also intera...

Shell-model calculations are presented for electric quadrupole moments of A =17—39 nuclei. The shell-model wave functions, which span the complete Ods/2-1sl/2 Dd3/2 model space in all instances, are obtained by diagonalizing an sd-shell Hamiltonian which consists of a fixed singleparticle energy spectrum and a single set of two-body matrix elements scaled as a function of the mass number A. Res...

This paper presents an overview of and introduction to some of the standard time series modeling and forecasting techniques as implemented in SAS with PROC ARIMA and PROC AUTOREG, among others. Examples are presented to illustrate the concepts. In addition to a few initial ARIMA examples, more sophisticated modeling tools will be addressed. Included will be regression models with time series er...

We derive new Hamiltonians for the sd shell, USDA and USDB, based on a renormalized G matrix with linear combinations of two-body matrix elements adjusted to fit a complete set of data for experimental binding energies and excitation energies for the sd-shell nuclei. These Hamiltonians provide a new level of precision for realistic sd-shell wave functions for applications to nuclear structure a...

This paper presents a coarse-grain approach for segmentation of objects with gray levels appearing in volume data. The input data is on a 3D structured grid of vertices vði; j; kÞ, each associated with a scalar value. In this paper, we consider a voxel as a cube and each voxel is assigned two values: expectancy and standard deviation (E-SD). We use the Weibull noise index to estimate the noise ...

Portals, an experimental feature of 4.4BSD, extend the filesystem namespace by exporting certain open ( ) requests to a user-space daemon. A portal daemon is mounted into the file namespace as if it were a standard filesystem. When the kernel resolves a pathname and encounters a portal mount point, the remainder of the path is passed to the portal daemon. Depending on the portal "pathname" and ...

Super-deformed, SD, is a specific artistic style for Japanese manga and anime which exaggerates characters in the goal of appearing cute and funny. The SD style characters are widely used, and can be seen in many anime, CG movies, or games. However, to create an SD model often requires professional skills and considerable time and effort. In this paper, we present a novel technique to generate ...
