Use of Remote Surface Based Tools for Visualizing Integrated Brain Imaging Data

We describe a surface-based approach to 3D visualization of integrated neuroimaging data. Our web-enabled software allows researchers to use these visualization tools over the Internet. We present examples of brain imaging studies where such remote surface-based visualization techniques have proven to be quite effective

Brain Visualization in Java3D

BrainJ3D is a cross-platform Java/Java3D software toolkit for processing and visualizing brain imaging data, which 1) contains general purpose tools for reconstructing, mapping and visualizing integrated structural and functional images and 2) leverages Java's Remote Method Invocation to provide both a standalone and a client/server mode

Prediction of VO\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3e Peak Using Sub-Maximum Bench Step Test in Children

The purpose of this study was to develop a valid prediction of maximal oxygen uptake from data collected during a submaximum bench stepping test among children ages 8-12 years. Twentyseven active subjects (16 male and 11 female), weight 36.1 kg, height 144.4 cm and VO2 47.4 ± 7.9 ml/kg/min participated. Subjects completed a maximal oxygen consumption test with analysis of expired air and a submaximal bench stepping test. A formula to predict VO2max was developed from height, resting heart rate and heart rate response during the submaximum bench stepping test. This formula accounted for 71% of the variability in maximal oxygen consumption and is the first step in verifying the validity of the submaximum bench stepping test to predict VO2max. VO2max = -2.354 + (Height in cm * 0.065) + (Resting Heart Rate * 0.008) + (Step Test Average Heart Rate as a Percentage of Resting Heart Rate * -0.870

Technology utilization in a non-urban region: Further impact and technique of the Technology Use Studies Center

Updated information pertaining to clients who receive and use information disseminated by the Technology Use Studies Center (TUSC) is reported. Charts are provided which indicate TUSC's performance in information dissemination and technical assistance in terms of quantities of searches accomplished during several contract years. The faculty information service is described, along with details of cooperation with other agencies. Specific searches are listed according to subject, client, and client location, and a measure of client response to services provided is indicated by the included selection of transfer and impact reports. The impetus behind the formation of the general aviation news letter is also described

Technology utilization in a non-urban region: Further impact and technique of the Technology Use Studies Center, 2

The clientele served by the Technology Use Studies Center (TUSC) is updated. Manufacturing leads the list of client firms. The standard industrial classification (SIC) range of these firms is broad. Substantial numbers of college and university faculties are using TUSC services. Field operations inherent in the functions of dissemination and assistance are reviewed. Increasing emphasis among clientele is on environmental concerns and management. A record is provided of the institutions contacted and the extent of TUSC involvement with them, as well as TUSC's cooperation with agencies and organizations. The impact of TUSC and the NASA-sponsored Technology Utilization Program on other public agencies is discussed

Technology utilization

Documentation is presented for selected transfer and impact reports provided to the business community, government agencies, and such other requestors as schools, universities, and health services. Statistical data are also included on the characteristics of the TUSC technical searches

Search and dissemination in data processing

Manual retrieval methods were used to complete 54 searches of interest for the General Aviation Newsletter. Subjects of search ranged from television transmission to machine tooling, Apollo moon landings, electronic equipment, and aerodynamics studies

Technology utilization data searches

Technology Use Studies Center activities, functions, and services are reported for this period. Transfers and searches are described. Characteristics of TUSC searches are tabulated

Constraints on Hidden Photon Models from Electron g-2 and Hydrogen Spectroscopy

The hidden photon model is one of the simplest models which can explain the anomaly of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g-2). The experimental constraints are studied in detail, which come from the electron g-2 and the hydrogen transition frequencies. The input parameters are set carefully in order to take dark photon contributions into account and to prevent the analysis from being self-inconsistent. It is shown that the new analysis provides a constraint severer by more than one order of magnitude than the previous result.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figures, 1 table. v2: minor correction
