OBJECTIVE To localize susceptibility genes for alterations in brain structure associated with risk of stroke and dementia. We conducted genomewide linkage analyses for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of brain atrophy, ventricular, and subcortical white matter hyperintensity (leukoaraiosis) in 689 non-Hispanic white (673 sibling pairs; median age, 61 years) and 544 non-Hispanic black p...

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) leverages technology to coordinate business-customer interactions with the objective of building long-term loyalty. Multilevel Secure (MLS) data models were originally developed as database models for the management of information in environments with a strict hierarchy of security levels, such as military institutions and government security agencies. Thi...

Conventional and maximum length sequence (MLS) middle latency response (MLR) procedures were compared across several parameters for control patients and patients with central nervous system lesions. There were similar findings for both populations and both types of MLR for the absolute latencies of Na and Pa waves. Middle latency waves were absent more often in the neurologic than control subje...

Current DoD information systems need to support many different missions through cooperation with different organizations and allies. In today’s fast paced and dynamic environment, it is almost impossible to design and implement a different information system for each mission. Therefore, DoD needs MLS workflow management systems (WFMS) to enable globally distributed users and existing applicatio...

Upcoming space instrumentation, such as LUMOS (LUVOIR Ultraviolet Multi-Object Spectrograph) in LUVOIR (Large Optical Infrared Surveyor) mission, demands efficient narrowband coatings centered the far UV (FUV). Narrowband FUV can be prepared with all-dielectric multilayers (MLs) based on two fluorides. This research evaluates performance of AlF 3 /LaF MLs by thermal evaporation and compares thi...

A mobile laser scanning (MLS) system can acquire railway scene information quickly and provide a data foundation for regular inspections. The location of the catenary support device in an electrified has direct impact on operation power supply system. However, multi-type accounts tiny proportion whole scene, resulting its poor characteristic expression scene. Therefore, using traditional point ...

The Department of Defense (DoD) needs multilevel secure (MLS) workflow management systems to enable globally distributed users and applications to cooperate across classification levels to achieve mission critical goals. An MLS workflow management system that allows a user to program multilevel mission logic, to securely coordinate widely distributed tasks, and to monitor the progress of the wo...

In this work we propose a new Eulerian method for handling dynamics of liquids and their surface textures. Our approach is based on a new method for interface advection we term the Marker Level Set (MLS). The MLS method uses surface markers and a level set for tracking the surface of the liquid, achieving more efficient and accurate results than popular methods like the Particle Level Set metho...
