Analysis of Publically Available Skin Sensitization Data from REACH

135 Received October 5, 2015; Accepted January 26, 2016; Epub February 11, 2016; http://dx.doi.org/10.14573/altex.1510055 format and any workflows involving the public summary data in REACH depend on a slow and error-prone process of manual extraction. Here, we seek to demonstrate the extent and diversity of the public REACH dataset – a dataset that far surpasses most existing datasets used for...

UStore: STT-MRAM Based Light-Weight User-Level Storage for Enhancing Performance of Accessing Persistent Data

Traditionally, in computer systems, file I/O has been a big performance bottleneck for I/O intensive applications. The recent advent of non-volatile byte-addressable memory (NVM) technologies such as STTMRAM and PCM, provides a chance to store persistent data with a high performance close to DRAM’s. However, as the location of the persistent storage device gets closer to the CPU, the system sof...

Tracking the Evolution of Infrastructure Systems and Mass Responses Using Publically Available Data

Networks can evolve even on a short-term basis. This phenomenon is well understood by network scientists, but receive little attention in empirical literature involving real-world networks. On one hand, this is due to the deceitfully fixed topology of some networks such as many physical infrastructures, whose evolution is often deemed unlikely to occur in short term; on the other hand, the lack...

Accelerating ultrasound image analysis research through publically available database

Ultrasound is widely used intra-operatively to provide real-time feedback in image guided intervention procedures. Registration of preand intra-operative images is a crucial step in the procedure. Unfortunately, real-time US images often have poor signal-to-noise ratio and suffer from imaging artifacts. Hence, registration using US images can be challenging and significant preprocessing is ofte...
