Applicability of Information Theory to the Quantification of Responses to Anthropogenic Noise By Southeast Alaskan Humpback Whales
We assess the effectiveness of applying information theory to the characterization and quantification of the affects of anthropogenic vessel noise on humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) vocal behavior in and around…

Effect of Sleep Stage on Breathing in Children with Central Hypoventilation
Given the differences in anatomy, physiology, and REM sleep distribution between infants and older children, and the reduced number of limb movements during REM sleep, we hypothesized that older subjects…

Overcoming Adverse Weather Conditions with a Common Optical Path, Multiple Sensors, and Intelligent Image Fusion System
This paper introduces an engineering prototype to address the image collection challenges using a Common Optical Path, Multiple Sensors and an Intelligent Image Fusion System, and provides illustrations and sample…

Spoken language understanding—interpreting the signs given by a speech signal
Spoken language understanding (SLU) is the interpretation of signs conveyed by a speech signal. SLU and natural language understanding (NLU) share the goal of obtaining a conceptual representation of natural…

Gene Expression in the Rat Brain During Prostaglandin D2 and Adenosinergically-Induced Sleep
We compared gene expression in the cerebral cortex, basal forebrain, and hypothalamus during PGD2-induced and adenosinergically-induced sleep to results from our previously published study of recovery sleep (RS) after sleep…

Talagrand’s Inductive Method and Isoperimetric Inequalities Involving Random Sets
Talagrand’s isoperimetric inequality is extended to the case for which the distance from a random vector with independent components is measured not to a subset of a product space but…

Towards Digital Representation of Drosophila Embryogenesis
Using Drosophila embryogenesis as a model we are developing molecular, imaging and image analysis techniques to record an entire developmental system at cellular resolution.

Asymmetry of Plasma Fluxes at Mars. Aspera-3 Observations and Hybrid Simulations
The results of the observations are compared to simulations based on a 3D hybrid model with several ion species.

Accurate 3D Rigid-Body Target Motion and Structure Estimation by Using GMTI/HRR with Template Information
A framework of simultaneously estimating the motion and structure parameters of a 3D object by using high range resolution (HRR) and ground moving target indicator (GMTI) measurements with template information…

Electroadhesive Robots – Wall Climbing Robots Enabled By a Novel, Robust, and Electrically Controllable Adhesion Technology
This paper describes a novel clamping technology called compliant electroadhesion, as well as the first application of this technology to wall climbing robots. As the name implies, electroadhesion is an…

Thick Protective UHTC Coatings for SiC-Based Structures: Process Establishment
A new process to form thick and dense ultra-high-temperature ceramic (UHTC) composite coatings over SiC surfaces is described. Coatings of ZrB2/SiC/(ZrC) thicker than 100 μm are formed by a reaction-bonded…
