Document Processing For Automatic Color Form Dropout, Andreas E. Savakis, Christopher R. Brown
Document Processing For Automatic Color Form Dropout, Andreas E. Savakis, Christopher R. Brown
Articles
Color dropout refers to the process of converting color form documents to black and white by removing the colors that are part of the blank form and maintaining only the information entered in the form. In this paper, no prior knowledge of the form type is assumed. Color dropout is performed by associating darker non-dropout colors with information that is entered in the form and needs to be preserved. The color dropout filter parameters include the color values of the non-dropout colors, e.g. black and blue, the distance metric, e.g. Euclidian, and the tolerances allowed around these colors. Color dropout …

Europe In America: Grammatology, Legal Studies, And The Politics Of Transmission, Peter Goodrich
Europe In America: Grammatology, Legal Studies, And The Politics Of Transmission, Peter Goodrich
Articles
This Essay begins by analyzing the way American legal theory has failed to adequately address the challenges and insights of grammatology, the philological critique of the language of law initiated with Jacques Derrida's work Of Grammatology. Professor Goodrich traces the form that this failed confrontation took and then outlines how this philological critique ought to inform a study of law. Importantly for Professor Goodrich, the grammatological approach to law provides ways of analyzing not just the written legal text, but also the effects of new media technologies on the law more broadly. The changes in the law brought about by …
Spectral Asymptotics Of The Dirichlet-To-Neumann Map On Multiply Connected Domains In R^D, Peter D. Hislop, Carl V. Lutzer
Spectral Asymptotics Of The Dirichlet-To-Neumann Map On Multiply Connected Domains In R^D, Peter D. Hislop, Carl V. Lutzer
Articles
We study the spectral asymptotics of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator Λγ on a multiply-connected, bounded, domain in R^d, d≥3, associated with the uniformly elliptic operator Lγ = − ∑di,j=1 ∂i γij∂j, where γ is a smooth, positive-definite, symmetric matrix-valued function on Ω. We prove that the operator is approximately diagonal in the sense that Λγ = Dγ + Rγ, where Dγ is a direct sum of operators, each of which acts on one boundary component only, and Rγ is a smoothing operator. This representation follows from the fact that the γ-harmonic extensions of eigenfunctions of Λγ vanish rapidly away from the …

Pnp Si Resonant Interband Tunnel Diode With Symmetrical Ndr, Niu Jin, Phillip Berger, Sean Rommel
Articles
A Si-based resonant interband tunnel diode (RITD) is presented with a pnp configuration so that an integrated RITD can be easily used to form a latch. The IN characteristics of this pnp RITD show symmetrical negative differential resistance (NDR) regions in both forward and reverse bias. The top diode shows a peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) of 1.63 with peak current density (Jp) of 1.5 kA/cm2, while the bottom diode shows a PVCR of 1.51 with J p of 2.0 kA/cm2

Articles
We describe the target selection and resulting properties of a spectroscopic sample of luminous, red galaxies (LRG) from the imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). These galaxies are selected on the basis of color and magnitude to yield a sample of luminous, intrinsically red galaxies that extends fainter and further than the main flux-limited portion of the SDSS galaxy spectroscopic sample. The sample is designed to impose a passively-evolving luminosity and rest- frame color cut to a redshift of 0.38. Additional, yet more luminous, red galaxies are included to a redshift of 0.5. Approximately 12 of these …
On The Choice Between The Stocking Rate And Time In Range Management, Amitrajeet A. Batabyal, Basudeb Biswas, E. Bruce Godfrey
On The Choice Between The Stocking Rate And Time In Range Management, Amitrajeet A. Batabyal, Basudeb Biswas, E. Bruce Godfrey
Articles
A long standing question in range management concerns the relative importance of the stocking rate versus the length of time during which animals graze a particular rangeland. We address this question by analyzing the problem faced by a private rancher who wishes to minimize the long run expected net unit cost (LRENC) from range operations by choosing either the stock rate or the length of time during which his animals graze his rangeland. We construct a renewal-theoretic model and show that, in general, this rancher's LRENC with an optimally chosen stocking rate is lower than his LRENC with an optimally …

Indoor Vs Outdoor Classification Of Consumer Photographs Using Low-Level And Semantic Features, Jiebo Luo, Andreas Savakis
Indoor Vs Outdoor Classification Of Consumer Photographs Using Low-Level And Semantic Features, Jiebo Luo, Andreas Savakis
Articles
Scene categorization to indoor vs outdoor may be approached by using low-level features for inferring high-level information about the image. Low-level features such as color and texture have been used extensively in image understanding research, however, they cannot solve the problem completely. We propose the use of a Bayesian network for integrating knowledge from low-level and semantic features for indoor vs outdoor classification of images. Using ground truth data for sky and grass detection, we demonstrate that the classification performance can be significantly improved when semantic features are employed in the classification process.
College Students’ Perceptions Of The C-Print Speech-To-Text Transcription System, Lisa B. Elliot, Michael Stinson, Barbara G. Mckee, Victoria S. Everhart, Pamela J. Francis
College Students’ Perceptions Of The C-Print Speech-To-Text Transcription System, Lisa B. Elliot, Michael Stinson, Barbara G. Mckee, Victoria S. Everhart, Pamela J. Francis
Articles
C-Print is a real-time speech-to-text transcription system used as a support service with deaf students in mainstreamed classes. Questionnaires were administered to 36 college students in 32 courses in which the C-Print system was used in addition to interpreting and notetaking. Twenty-two of these students were also interviewed. Questionnaire items included student ratings of lecture comprehension. Student ratings indicated good comprehension with C-Print, and the mean rating was significantly higher than that for understanding of the interpreter. Students also rated the hard-copy printout provided by C-Print as helpful, and they reported that they used these notes more frequently than the …

The Discovery Of Cepheids And A New Distance To Ngc 2841 Using The Hubble Space Telescope, L. M. Macri, P. B. Stetson, G. D. Bothun, W. L. Freedman, P. M. Garnavich, S. Jha, B. F. Madore, Michael W. Richmond
Articles
We report on the discovery of Cepheids in the spiral galaxy NGC2841, based on observations made with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. NGC2841 was observed over 12 epochs using the F555W filter, and over 5 epochs using the F814W filter. Photometry was performed using the DAOPHOT/ALLFRAME package. We discovered a total of 29 variables, including 18 high-quality Cepheids with periods ranging from 15 to 40 days. Period-luminosity relations in the V and I bands, based on the high-quality Cepheids, yield a reddening-corrected distance modulus of 30.74 ± 0.23 mag, which corresponds to …
Evaluation Of Texture Features For Image Segmentation, Navid Serrano, Jiebo Luo, Andreas Savakis
Evaluation Of Texture Features For Image Segmentation, Navid Serrano, Jiebo Luo, Andreas Savakis
Articles
Texture features are among the most commonly used image attributes in image understanding applications, such as image retrieval from databases. A number of methods and their variants have been developed over the years for texture feature extraction. Whereas they all have their merits and flaws, it is worthwhile to evaluate their performance in a specific application domain. The goal here is to establish which texture features are better suited for segmentation of natural scenes that contain multiple natural and synthetic textures. The performance of unsupervised texture segmentation based on multiresolution simultaneous autoregressive (MRSAR) models, wavelet coefficients, fractal dimension, edge direction …
Citizen Participation In Judicial Decision Making: Juries, Lay Judges And Japan, Richard O. Lempert
Citizen Participation In Judicial Decision Making: Juries, Lay Judges And Japan, Richard O. Lempert
Articles
In the late 1920s and 1930s Japan had a jury system. It was suspended in 1943 as a wartime measure, but it had fallen into desuetude long before that. Arguably it was like the Spanish jury, which has several times risen during periods of relative political liberalism or populism and been suppressed during periods of militarism and autocracy. That is, it may be more than a coincidence that use of the Japanese jury fell precipitously during the 1930s as militarism took hold of the Japanese nation. Now the reinstatement of the Japanese jury is again being seriously considered. Similarly it …
Infrastructure For Distributed Applications In Ad Hoc Networks Of Small Mobile Wireless Devices, Alan Kaminsky
Infrastructure For Distributed Applications In Ad Hoc Networks Of Small Mobile Wireless Devices, Alan Kaminsky
Articles
Mobile wireless computing devices such as cellphones, pagers, personal digital assistants, pocket PCs, and tablet computers are all potential platforms for participating in small group, wireless, many-to-many distributed applications. The networking technology needed to support such applications is readily available. However, almost all existing middleware infrastructure for distributed applications was designed for central servers and wired connections. The Anhinga Infrastructure described here runs entirely on the wireless mobile devices and so does not require any central server support. The Anhinga Infrastructure provides a message broadcast ad hoc networking protocol and a distributed computing platform based on lightweight versions of Java, …

In Defense Of Making Government Pay: The Deterrent Effect Of Constitutional Tort Remedies, Myriam E. Gilles
In Defense Of Making Government Pay: The Deterrent Effect Of Constitutional Tort Remedies, Myriam E. Gilles
Articles
Legal economists are concerned with setting optimal deterrence levels. Armed with information concerning the public and private costs and benefits of a particular harmful activity, the legal economist seeks to set a “price” for the activity which, to some socially optimal extent, minimizes external costs while retaining external benefits. If the economist's information is perfect, he can predict precisely how an economically rational actor will respond to a particular price and achieve optimal deterrence of activities whose costs outweigh their benefits.

Ccd Speckle Observations Of Binary Stars From The Southern Hemisphere. Iii. Differential Photometry, Elliott P. Horch, Zoran Ninkov, Otto Franz
Articles
Two hundred seventy-two magnitude difference measures of 135 double star systems are presented. The results are derived from speckle observations using the Bessel V and R passbands and a fast readout CCD camera. Observations were taken at two 60 cm telescopes, namely the Helen Sawyer Hogg Telescope, formerly at Las Campanas, Chile, and the Lowell-Tololo Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter- American Observatory, Chile. The data analysis method is presented and, in comparing the results to those of Hipparcos as well as to recent results using adaptive optics, we find very good agreement. Overall, the measurement precision appears to be …
The Elusive Safeguards Of Federalism, Marci A. Hamilton
The Elusive Safeguards Of Federalism, Marci A. Hamilton
Articles
The Supreme Court has issued a series of opinions that turn on the Constitution's inherent principles of federalism, decisions that have alarmed many a legal scholar. The Court has been attacked for overstepping its bounds and, by some, on the grounds that the federalism-state balance should be maintained through the political process rather than judicial review. This criticism of the judicial enforcement of federalism fails as a matter of constitutional history and on empirical grounds. The Supreme Court in this era deserves praise, not criticism, for its recent federalism jurisprudence.

Robust Stabilization Of Tone Reproduction Curves For The Xerographic Printing Process, Perry Li, Sohail Dianat
Robust Stabilization Of Tone Reproduction Curves For The Xerographic Printing Process, Perry Li, Sohail Dianat
Articles
The problem of stabilizing a single color tone reproduction curve of a xerographic printing engine is considered. This problem is critical to ensure high-fidelity color printing. The control system uses a small number of actuators and a small number of measurements to stabilize the potentially high-dimensional tone reproduction curve. The goal is to minimize the overall least squares deviation of the tone reproduction curve from the ideal nominal one in the face of disturbances like material changes, temperature, humidity, and uncertainty in the system description. The control design consists of the steps of 1) determining a robust optimally performing static …

Dual-Mode Combustion Of Hydrogen In A Mach 5, Continuous-Flow Facility, C. Goyne, J. Mcdaniel, T. Quagliaroli
Articles
Results of an experimental and numerical study of a dual-mode scramjet combustor are reported. The experiment consisted of a direct-connect test of a Mach 2 hydrogen-air combustor with a single unswept-ramp fuel injector. The flow stagnation enthalpy simulated a flight Mach number of S. Measurements were obtained using conventional wall instrumentation and a particle-imaging laser diagnostic technique. The particle imaging was enabled through the development of a new apparatus for seeding fine silicon dioxide particles into the combustor fuel stream. Numerical simulations of the combustor were performed using the GASP code. The modeling, and much of the experimental work, focused …

Integration Of Silicon-Based Tunnel Diodes With Cmos: An Rit-Osu-Nrl-Nsf Effort, Jeremy Kempisty, Karl Hirschman, Santosh Kurinec
Articles
Resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) are promising band gap engineered heterostructures that exhibit a distinctive negative differential resistance (NDR) that can be exploited for various electronic functions. Large scale integration of RTDs with heterojunction field effect transistors (HFETs) has been demonstrated in III-V compound semiconductors. Since the current microelectronics industry has evolved around silicon CMOS technology, it is of great interest if RTDs can be integrated with Si CMOS circuitry. Silicon-based tunnel diodes have great potential for this integration. Ohio State University and RIT have received funding from the National Science Foundation to address these issues with the Naval Research Laboratory. …

Mass customization capabilities enable firms to design, produce, and deliver a high volume of differentiated products that meet specific customer needs in a timely manner and at close to mass-production prices. A critical part of mass customization is simultaneously achieving customer responsiveness, cost efficiency, and high volume production in the manufacturing system. This research describes mass customization. Data were collected from 303 manufacturing firms of various size, location, and industry to develop the instrument and test the relationships in the framework. The primary research method was structural equation modeling using LISREL. This study indicates that firms with high levels of …
Locus Of Supply And Global Manufacturing, John Ettlie, Kannan Sethuraman
Locus Of Supply And Global Manufacturing, John Ettlie, Kannan Sethuraman
Articles
Interest in supply chain management has been escalating during the last decade. Using a large sample of durable good firms located in all major regions of the work, we extend two theoretical perspectives, namely the resource-based view and the transaction cost economics view of the firm, to better understand the issues behind global sourcing. Both theory extensions were supported in separate by statistically significant regression results. Then, pooling predictors to represent both models together, these measures independently increase the odds of predicting global sourcing. For example, building of a firm's technological capabilities that was captured through the levels of its …
Measuring Process Performance For Multiple Variables: Revisited, Donald Holmes, A. Erhan Mergen
Measuring Process Performance For Multiple Variables: Revisited, Donald Holmes, A. Erhan Mergen
Articles
The use of the algebraic values of the d_ij's in Eq. (1) does not give a true picture of the process quality level. This is due to the fact that when variables are negatively correlated, deviations of one variable in one direction tend to be compensated for in a sum by deviations of the other variable in the other direction (2). Thus we propose a revision to C_m which is discussed next.
