Handling degenerate cases in exact geodesic computation on triangle meshes

The computation of exact geodesics on triangle meshes is a widely used operation in computer-aided design and computer graphics. Practical algorithms for computing such exact geodesics have been recently proposed by Surazhsky et al. [5]. By applying these geometric algorithms to real-world data, degenerate cases frequently appear. In this paper we classify and enumerate all the degenerate cases in a systematic way. Based on the classification, we present solutions to handle all the degenerate cases consistently and correctly. The common users may find the present techniques useful when they implement a robust code of computing exact geodesic paths on meshes.

FPGA-Based Decentralized Control of Arrayed MEMS for Microrobotic Application

In this paper, the authors have developed and implemented a decentralized decision-making strategy using field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology as a prototype for an integrated controller of a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) array for air-flow planar micromanipulation. The MEMS array was proposed to be integrated in a hybrid multichip module containing the FPGA-based controller. Algorithms and architectures, used for the decentralized control implementation and the hardware resource optimization, are described. A charge-coupled device camera was used to make each MEMS like an autonomous system when the distributed MEMS chip was tested. Finally, under air-flow condition, the FPGA-based decentralized control system successfully performed an object manipulation.     

Isolation of acidophilic methane-oxidizing bacteria from northern peat wetlands

Acidic northern wetlands are an important source of methane, one of the gases that contributes to global warming. Methane oxidation in the surface of these acidic wetlands can reduce the methane flux to the atmosphere up to 90 percent. Here the isolation of three methanotrophic microorganisms from three boreal forest sites is reported. They are moderately acidophilic organisms and have a soluble methane monooxygenase. In contrast to the known groups of methanotrophs, 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis shows that they are affiliated with the acidophilic heterotrophic bacterium Beijerinckia indica subsp. indica.     

Effect of verification bias on positive and negative predictive values

The pairing of sensitivity and specificity expresses the efficacy of a test, and positive and negative predictive values measure the accuracy of a diagnostic test when applied to a particular patient. To calculate these measures, one has to know the true disease status of each patient. In practice, however, some patients may not be selected for verification of disease status. It has been shown that the estimated sensitivity and specificity may be biased if one includes in the study sample only the patients with verified disease statuses. This paper concerns the properties of the estimators of positive and negative predictive values using only patients with verified disease statuses. First, I show that these estimators are unbiased and provide consistent estimators for the variances of these estimators under the assumption that the probability of selecting a patient for a disease verification procedure does not depend directly on the true disease status of the patient. Then, I use the ML method to study the sensitivity of the naive estimators to the departure from the conditional independence assumption.
