Plans for the first balloon flight of the gamma-ray polarimeter experiment (GRAPE) [PDF]

, 2010
We have developed a design for a hard X-ray polarimeter operating in the energy range from 50 to 500 keV. This modular design, known as GRAPE (Gamma-Ray Polarimeter Experiment), has been successfully demonstrated in the lab using partially polarized ...

Creating Character Networks from Comics Using Frames and Words in Balloons [PDF]

2018 7th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI), 2018
We create character networks from comics using the frames and the words in balloons to find and understand them. First, we build a dataset that contains a comic's characters and its words in balloons separated by frames. Second, we extract the semantic relations among characters using the words in the balloons and the frames.

The Primordial Inflation Polarization Explorer (PIPER) [PDF]

, 2014
The Primordial Inflation Polarization Explorer (PIPER) is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimeter designed to search for evidence of inflation by measuring the large-angular scale CMB polarization signal.

A randomized controlled clinical trial of prolonged balloon inflation during stent deployment strategy in primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: a pilot study

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Background Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the standard procedure for reperfusion for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but the occurrence of the no-reflow phenomenon remains common and is associated with adverse ...

Let’s See a Boy and a Balloon: Argument Labels and Syntactic Frame in Verb Learning [PDF]

Language Acquisition, 2014
It is by now well established that toddlers use the linguistic context in which a new word-and particularly a new verb-appears to discover aspects of its meaning. But what aspects of the linguistic context are most useful? To begin to investigate this, we ask how 2-year-olds use two sources of linguistic information that are known to be useful to older
