Converging evidence suggests that the risk of obesity may be at least partially determined during infancy. Instead of measuring total caloric intake, obesity research shifts its paradigm to examining infant feeding behaviors so that the risk of overeating can be detected in early life. To the best of our knowledge, this paper for the first time proposes a novel video analysis protocol with which to...
The number of failures occurring in large-scale high performance computing (HPC) systems is significantly increasing due to the large number of physical components found on the system. Fault tolerance (FT) mechanisms help parallel applications mitigate the impact of failures. However, using such mechanisms requires additional overhead. As such, failure prediction is needed in order to smartly utilize...
This study sought to discern how people determine credibility of images in science. We predicted that certain visual cues would correspond to relatively higher credibility ratings of images; therefore, realistic images with more detail and more contextual cues would receive correspondingly higher ratings. We administered a three-part, 19-question survey to 83 University of Missouri-Rolla General Psychology...
System- and application-level failures could be characterized by analyzing relevant log files. The resulting data might then be used in numerous studies on and future developments for the mission-critical and large scale computational architecture, including fields such as failure prediction, reliability modeling, performance modeling and power awareness. In this paper, system logs covering a six...
Throughput is an important performance consideration for multihop wireless networks. In this paper, we study the joint link scheduling and power control problem, focusing on maximizing the network throughput. We formulate the maximum throughput link scheduling with power control (MATH-SPC) problem, and present a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation to provide optimal solutions. However,...
Advances in ion beam theory, diagnostics, and experiments in the past two years have enabled efficient generation of intense proton beams on PBFA II, and focusing of the beam power to 5.4 TW/cm2 on a 6-mm-diameter target. Target experiments have been started with the intense proton beams, since the range of protons at 4–5 MeV is equivalent to that of lithium at 30 MeV. Three series of experiments...
