Frontal Callosal Fiber Integrity Selectively Predicts Coordinated Psychomotor Performance in Chronic Alcoholism
Quantitative fiber tracking with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides a new approach for assessing deficits in the microstructural integrity of white matter circuits that may underlie cognitive deficits associated with conditions affecting white matter, including chronic alcoholism.

Evaluation of a Near-Field Monostatic-To-Bistatic Equivalence Theorem
This paper presents the results of an investigation to quantitatively determine the limits of Falconer’s monostatic-to-bistatic equivalence theorem (MBET).

Abstractions for Hybrid Systems
We present a procedure for constructing sound finite-state discrete abstractions of hybrid systems. This procedure uses ideas from predicate abstraction to abstract the discrete dynamics and qualitative reasoning to abstract the continuous dynamics of the hybrid system.

Hydrogen and magnesium incorporation on c-plane and m-plane GaN surfaces
We present first-principles calculations for m-plane and c-plane In0.25Ga0.75N surfaces, focusing on how the growth conditions affect indium incorporation.

An intelligent fitting room using multi-camera perception
In this paper, we describe the architecture of the vision system for the Responsive Mirror, a novel system for retail fitting rooms that enables online social fashion comparisons in physical stores based on multi-camera perception.

Mobile recommendations for leisure activities
We demonstrate a context-aware mobile system for recommending information about leisure activities (Shopping, Eating, Doing, Seeing, and Reading), codenamed Magitti, which infers the users leisure activity from context and patterns of behavior.

Volume Reconstruction By Inverse Interpolation: Application to Interleaved MR Motion Correction
We introduce in this work a novel algorithm for volume reconstruction from data acquired on an irregular grid, e.g., from multiple co-registered images.

Probabilistic Global Motion Estimation Based on Laplacian Two-Bit Plane Matching for Fast Digital Image Stabilization
This paper proposes a new DIS algorithm that reduces the computation time while preserving the accuracy of the algorithm. To reduce the computation time, an image is transformed by a Laplacian operation and then converted into two one-bit spaces, called L+ and L− spaces.

10-GHz Divide-By-100 Prescaler Connects to 100-MHz Counter
Introduction The prescaler described here connects to the front end of a 100-MHz frequency counter to extend its coverage range to 10 GHz. The circuit is a far less expensive way to measure frequencies above 100 MHz than buying a 1- or 10-GHz frequency counter. The divider was built inexpensively. Creating this low-cost prescaler required…
