EZID (pronounced easy-eye-dee at ezid.cdlib.org) is an innovative service supporting the creation and management of identifiers, their accompanying metadata, and long-term access to things on the Internet. It is one of the few services that can supply a diversity of identifier and metadata types, and do so at the earliest stages of content development, long before the content is archived or its...

Fluorescent nanodiamonds have been used to a large extent in various biological systems due their robust nature, inert properties and the relative ease of modifying surface for attachment different functional groups. Within given batch, however, each nanodiamond is indistinguishable from its neighbors so far one could only rely on fluorescence statistics some global information about ensemble. ...

Biodiversity data is being digitized and made available online at a rapidly increasing rate but current practices typically do not preserve linkages between these data, which impedes interoperation, provenance tracking, and assembly of larger datasets. For data associated with biocollections, the biodiversity community has long recognized that an essential part of establishing and preserving li...

We present a new adaptive nonlinear control design which achieves a complete controller-identifier separation. This modularity is made possible by a strong input-to-state stability property of the new controller with respect to the parameter estimation error and its derivative as inputs. These inputs are independently guaranteed to be bounded by the identifier. The new design is more flexible t...

The PIN based single level authorization of Mobile Payment System suffers several security leakage problems. Integrating biometric identifier as one more level of authorization increases the robustness of the payment system. But as mobile device and wireless network has certain constraint, so it is not possible to use any biometric identifier for authentication. This paper presents a comparativ...

I describe an analysis of the syntax of identifier names found in a corpus of over 500 ontologies. The analysis was performed in five steps: (i) extraction of identifier names from the corpus; (ii) construction of dummy sentences containing the identifiers; (iii) part-of-speech (POS) tagging; (iv) extraction of POS tag strings; (v) POS string frequency analysis; and (vi) general syntactic patte...

This paper demonstrates an effective application of artificial neural networks for online identification of a multimachine power system. The paper presents a recurrent neural network as the identifier of the benchmark two area, four machine system. This neural identifier is trained using the static Backpropagation algorithm. The trained neural identifier is then tested using datasets generated ...
