Current brain white matter fiber tracking techniques show a number of problems, including: generating large proportions of streamlines that do not accurately describe the underlying anatomy; extracting streamlines that are not supported by…
We investigate the diffraction of guided modes of a dielectric slab waveguide on a simple integrated structure consisting of a single dielectric ridge on the surface of the waveguide. Numerical simulations based on aperiodic rigorous…
This paper presents a new approach for filter design based on stochastic distances and tests between distributions. A window is defined around each pixel, overlapping samples are compared and only those which pass a goodness-of-fit test are…
The symmetrical restricted Gibbs ensemble (RGE) is a version of the Gibbs ensemble in which particles are exchanged between two boxes of fixed equal volumes. It has recently come to prominence because -- when combined with specialized…
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is a powerful and versatile sensing method with a detection limit down to the single molecule level. In this article, we demonstrate how topology optimization (TopOpt) can be used for designing surface…
Low-noise, tunable wavelength-conversion through non-degenerate four-wave mixing Bragg scattering in SiNx waveguides is experimentally demonstrated. Finite element method simulations of waveguide dispersion are used with the split-step…
The novel whole-body PET system based on plastic scintillators is developed by the {J-PET} Collaboration. It consists of plastic scintillator strips arranged axially in the form of a cylinder, allowing the cost-effective construction of the…
Simulations of SKA1-low were performed to estimate the noise level in images produced by the telescope over a frequency range 50-600 MHz, which extends the 50-350 MHz range of the current baseline design. The root-mean-square (RMS)…
We measured the effective diffusion coefficient in regions of microfluidic networks of controlled geometry using the FRAP (Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching) technique. The geometry of the networks was based on Voronoi…
Radio-Stereometric-Analysis and x-ray fluoroscopy are radiological techniques that require dedicated software to process data. The accurate calibration of these software is therefore critical. The aim of this work is to produce a protocol…
Tables of optimal transition coefficients and peak sidelobe level (PSL, in dB) associated with frequency sampling filter (FSF) design were published by Rabiner et al. (Jun 1970), and reproduced, for example, in the book Digital Signal…
We present a new resonant behavior based on bound states in the continuum in a guided wave silicon platform. The continuum has the form of a collimated beam of light which is confined vertically in a TE mode of a silicon slab. The bound…
Fingerprints are the most widely deployed form of biometric identification. No two individuals share the same fingerprint because they have unique biometric identifiers. This paper presents an efficient fingerprint verification algorithm…
Many methods have been developed in trajectory planning in order to achieve smooth and accurate motion with considering the constraints of kinematics constraints such as angular position, velocity, acceleration, and jerk. The problem of…
The Savitzky-Golay FIR digital filter is based on a least-squares polynomial fit to a hypothetical sample of equally spaced data. This gives the filter the ability to preserve moments of features like peaks in the input. Descriptions of the…
Considerable research has taken place in recent times in the area of parameterization of software defined radio (SDR) architecture. Parameterization decreases the size of the software to be downloaded and also limits the hardware…
Purpose: To assess the effects of brain movements induced by heartbeat on dose distributions in synchrotron micro- and mini-beam radiaton therapy and to develop a model to help guide decisions and planning for future clinical trials.…
The Golomb ruler problem is defined as follows: Given a positive integer n, locate n marks on a ruler such that the distance between any two distinct pair of marks are different from each other and the total length of the ruler is…
We propose a specialized string kernel for small bio-molecules, peptides and pseudo-sequences of binding interfaces. The kernel incorporates physico-chemical properties of amino acids and elegantly generalize eight kernels, such as the…
The full strong branching (FSB) rule is well known to produce extremely small branch-and-bound trees. This rule guides branching decisions based exclusively on the information regarding local gains in the linear programming (LP) bounds. We…
