This paper discusses two applications of probing dense volumetric data for MR orthopedics and dynamic contrast enhanced MRI mammography. In order not to reduce the context information and to extract the essential part of the data, we apply Profile Flags. A Profile Flag is a 3D glyph for probing and annotating the volumetric data. The first application area deals with visualization of T2 profile...

Deletions in open addressing tables have often been seen as problematic. The usual solution is to use a special mark ’deleted’ so that probe sequences continue past deleted slots, as if there was an element still sitting there. Such a solution, notwithstanding is wide applicability, may involve serious performance degradation. In the first part of this paper we review a practical implementation...

We present a new approach to probing single-particle dynamics that uses dynamic light scattering from a localized region. By scattering a focused laser beam from a micron-size particle, we measure its spatial fluctuations via the temporal autocorrelation of the scattered intensity. We demonstrate the applicability of this approach by measuring the three-dimensional force constants of a single b...

This paper discusses monitoring within wired and wireless networks and the type of monitoring information needed to support different applications. We suggest a hybrid active/passive monitoring approach with a dynamic time window mechanism and interchangeable filters to extract requested information. The paper also shows our initial experimental results and presents our conclusions. Keywords-Ne...

Manual pocket depth probing has been widely used as a retrospective diagnosis method in periodontics. However, numerous studies have questioned its ability to accurately measure the anatomic pocket depth. In this paper, an ultrasonic periodontal probing method is described, which involves using a hollow water-filled probe to focus a narrow beam of ultrasound energy into and out of the periodont...

RESULTS: At 6 and 12 months, Class Ie defects tended to reveal higher changes in the mean probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) values when compared with Class Ib and Class Ic groups. However, significant differences were only observed at 6 months (PD: 2.9 +/0.3 versus 1.4 +/0.5 versus 1.3 +/0.7 mm; CAL: 2.5 +/0.5 versus 0.9 +/0.8 versus 0.9 +/0.7 mm). Site-level analysis has p...

Discovery and characterization of functional RNA structures remains challenging due to deficiencies in de novo secondary structure modeling. Here we describe a dynamic programming approach for model-free sequence comparison that incorporates high-throughput chemical probing data. Based on SHAPE probing data alone, ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) from three diverse organisms--the eubacteria E. coli and C...

We give a unified analysis of linear probing hashing with a general bucket size. We use both a combinatorial approach, giving exact formulas for generating functions, and a probabilistic approach, giving simple derivations of asymptotic results. Both approaches complement nicely, and give a good insight in the relation between linear probing and random walks. A key methodological contribution, ...
