Continue development of algorithms that utilize polarization data to detect regions and fields of hydrometeors and non-hydrometeors, particularly those that are hazardous to aviation operations.

This paper presents the “allocated-capacity” framework for providing different levels of best-effort service in times of network congestion. The “allocatedcapacity” framework—extensions to the Internet protocols and algorithms—can allocate bandwidth to different users in a controlled

This paper discusses the current effort and experience of the development and application of a computer model, GSTAR-W, for flow and sediment modeling of river systems and watersheds. Many existing models are limited by various assumptions and intended uses. They are often used beyond

This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the technical achievements in the research area of image retrieval, especially content-based image retrieval, an area that has been so active and prosperous in the past few years. The survey includes 100+ papers covering the research aspects of image feature representation and extraction, multidimensional indexing, and system design, three of the fundamental bases of content-based image retrieval. Furthermore, based on the state-of-the-art technology available now and the demand from real-world applications, open research issues are identified and future promising research directions are suggested.

Instrumentation based on the PC architecture has been fielded at many accelerator sites. The wide variety, high performance, and reasonable cost of both commercial hardware and software make this platform an attractive choice for instrumentation. Current efforts on the SNS accelerator include beam

WordNet is an on-line lexical reference system whose design is inspired by current

This paper proposes a mechanism for equation-based congestion control for unicast traffic. Most best-effort traffic in the current Internet is well-served by the dominant transport protocol, TCP. However, traffic such as best-effort unicast streaming multimedia could find use for a TCP

Abstract DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured informa-tion from Wikipedia and to make this information available on the Web. DBpedia allows you to ask sophisticated queries against datasets derived from Wikipedia and to link other datasets on the Web to Wikipedia data. We describe

Within the past decade, significant effort has occurred in developing methods of facial expression analysis. Because most investigators have used relatively limited data sets, the generalizability of these various methods remains unknown. We describe the problem space for facial expression analysis

The theoretical framework presented in this article explains expert performance as the end result of individuals ' prolonged efforts to improve performance while negotiating motivational and external constraints. In most domains of expertise, individuals begin in their childhood a regimen
