Bi-Criteria Radio Spectrum Sharing With Subspace-Based Pareto Tracing.

Radio spectrum is a scarce resource. To meet demands, new wireless technologies must operate in shared spectrum over unlicensed bands (coexist). We consider coexistence of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) License-Assisted Access (LAA) with incumbent Wi-Fi systems.

A standard system phantom for magnetic resonance imaging.

Purpose: A standard MRI system phantom has been designed and fabricated to assess scanner performance, stability, comparability and assess the accuracy of quantitative relaxation time imaging. The phantom is unique in having traceability to the International System of Units, a high level of precision, and monitoring by a national metrology institute. Here, we describe the phantom design, construction, imaging protocols, and measurement of geometric distortion, resolution, slice profile, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), proton-spin relaxation times, image uniformity and proton density.

Towards a priori uncertainty quantification in coarse-grained molecular dynamics: Generalized multipole potentials.

In computational materials science, coarse-graining approaches often lack a priori uncertainty quantification (UQ) tools that estimate the accuracy of a reduced-order model before it is calibrated or deployed. This is especially the case in coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD), where "bottom-up" methods need to run expensive atomistic simulations as part of the calibration process. As a result, scientists have been slow to adopt CG techniques in many settings because they do not know in advance whether the cost of developing the CG model is justified.
