Real-Time Vehicle Detection for Highway Driving
We present a new multi-stage algorithm for car and truck detection from a moving vehicle. The algorithm performs a search for pertinent features in three dimensions, guided by a ground…

Relevance of Iron Deposition in Deep Gray Matter Brain Structures to Cognitive and Motor Performance in Healthy Elderly Men and Women: Exploratory Findings
We tested functional correlates of an MR-based iron index in 10 healthy, elderly individuals previously reported to have a higher iron burden in the putamen and lower in the thalamus…

On the Charging of Mesospheric Dust
We consider the charging of dust grains, taking into account charging by thermal plasma and possible high energy particles, for a range of grain sizes. We also consider the effect…

Usability of Robotic Platforms for Remote Surgical Teleproctoring
Three proctoring platforms for remote surgery were evaluated to determine which would be most appropriate. The systems were a 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) device, a computer mouse controlling a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera,…

Oxidation of ZrB2-SiC Ultrahigh-Temperature Ceramic Composites in Dissociated Air
The oxidation behavior and surface properties of hot-pressed ZrB2–SiC ultrahigh-temperature ceramic composites are investigated under aerothermal heating conditions in the high-temperature, low-pressure partially dissociated airstream of the 1.2 MW Plastron…
