Software projects consist of different kinds of artifacts: build files, configuration files, markup files, source code in different software languages, and so on. At the same time, however, most integrated development environments (IDEs) are focused on a single (programming) language. Even if a programming environment supports multiple languages (e.g., Eclipse), IDE features such as cross-refer...

S OF PAPERS SUBMITTED FOR PRESENTATION TO THE SOCIETY The following papers have been submitted to the Secretary and the Associate Secretaries of the Society for presentation at meetings of the Society. They are numbered serially throughout this volume. Cross references to them in the reports of the meetings will give the number of this volume, the number of this issue, and the serial number of ...

We develop a method that can detect humans in a single image based on a new cascaded structure. In our approach, both the rectangle features and 1-D edge-orientation features are employed in the feature pool for weak-learner selection, which can be computed via the integral-image and the integral-histogram techniques, respectively. To make the weak learner more discriminative, Real AdaBoost is ...

We need a linking strategy for creating good, single-source, cross-references that work as well on paper as in a web page. There is more to the problem of linking than the semantics of the link, because the text surrounding a link should probably be different, depending on the medium of publication. Paperbased links, for example, generally work best with generated text, while hyperlinks are hot...

We present a method for detecting driver frustration from both video and audio streams captured during the driver’s interaction with an in-vehicle voice-based navigation system. The video is of the driver’s face when the machine is speaking, and the audio is of the driver’s voice when he or she is speaking. We analyze a dataset of 20 drivers that contains 596 audio epochs (audio clips, with dur...

The structure of cross-correlations between subthreshold potentials of neocortical neurons was recently examined. Characteristic features included broad widths and significant peak advances. It was suggested that dynamic synapses shape these cross-correlations. Here a reference model is developed comprising leaky integrators with static synapses. The forms of the subthreshold correlations are d...

In this exploratory investigation, we conduct five case studies to look into the extent and types of crossdisciplinary practices in a specialty of bionanotechnology. We found that there is a consistently high degree of cross-disciplinarity in the cognitive aspects of research (i.e. references and instrumentalities), but a more erratic and narrower degree in those dimensions associated with soci...

A growing body of research focuses on computationally detecting controversial topics and understanding the stances people hold on them. Yet gaps remain in our theoretical and practical understanding of how to define controversy, how it manifests, and how to measure it. In this paper, we introduce a novel measure we call “contention”, defined with respect to a topic and a population. We model co...

Background: In order to deliver the precise dose to the target in radiotherapy, absorbed dose to water at the reference point should be assessed. When the calibration procedure is performed for a reference dosimeter in the 60Co beam of a Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL), the total uncertainty in absorbed dose to water (Dw) is estimated to be approximately 1.5%. This study attempts...
