Optical wireless Communication (OWC) is a strong candidate in the next generation (6G) of cellular networks. In this paper, a laser-based optical wireless network is deployed in an indoor environment using Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting…

Antibiotic resistance (AR) is one of the greatest public health challenges worldwide. Processes that allow the reduction of AR predictor of hospital wastewater has become crucial process that contributes to the protection of public health…

The ground-based wide-angle camera array (GWAC) generates millions of single frame alerts per night. After the complicated and elaborate filters by multiple methods, a couple of dozens of candidates are still needed to be confirmed by…

This paper addresses the problem of crack detection which is essential for health monitoring of built infrastructure. Our approach includes two stages, data collection using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and crack detection using…

With COVID-19 disrupting operations across various sectors of the workforce (e.g., offices, airports, libraries, schools), preventative measures enabling resumption of work are quickly becoming a necessity. In this paper, we present the…

Passive human sensing using wireless signals has attracted increasing attention due to its superiorities of non-contact and robustness in various lighting conditions. However, when multiple human individuals are present, their reflected…

In addition to its public health crisis, COVID-19 pandemic has led to the shutdown and closure of workplaces with an estimated total cost of more than $16 trillion. Given the long hours an average person spends in buildings and indoor…

In order to reduce backgrounds from radon-daughter plate-out onto detector surfaces, an ultra-low-radon cleanroom is being commissioned at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. An improved vacuum-swing-adsorption radon mitigation…

With the growth of smart building applications, occupancy information in residential buildings is becoming more and more significant. In the context of the smart buildings' paradigm, this kind of information is required for a wide range of…

Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) have emerged as a promising candidate for optical wireless communication (OWC) owing to their ultra-high sensitivity and singlephoton detection capability. However, under strong background radiation or…

Improvement of tool reliability and uptime is a current focus in development of extreme ultraviolet lithography. The lifetime of collection mirrors for extreme ultraviolet light in tin-based plasma light sources is limited considerably by…

Minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgery relies heavily on endoscopic imaging, yet surgical smoke produced by electrocautery and vessel-sealing instruments can severely degrade visual perception and hinder vision-based functionalities.…

Radon (Rn) and its decay daughters are a well-known source of background in direct WIMP detection experiments, as either a Rn decay daughter or an alpha particle emitted from a thin inner surface layer of a detector could produce a…

As a consequence of global warming and climate change, the risk and extent of wildfires have been increasing in many areas worldwide. Warmer temperatures and drier conditions can cause quickly spreading fires and make them harder to…

CCTV-based surveillance using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is considered a key technology for security in smart city environments. This paper creates a case where the UAVs with CCTV-cameras fly over the city area for flexible and…

Biological invasions pose a significant threat to the sustainability of water sources. Efforts are increasingly being made to prevent invasions, eradicate established invaders, or control them. Remote sensing (RS) has long been recognized…

One of the major goals of tomorrow's agriculture is to increase agricultural productivity but above all the quality of production while significantly reducing the use of inputs. Meeting this goal is a real scientific and technological…

Autonomously searching for hazardous radiation sources requires the ability of the aerial and ground systems to understand the scene they are scouting. In this paper, we present systems, algorithms, and experiments to perform radiation…

The ultraviolet/optical telescope (UVOT) onboard the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is capable of imaging with 7 lenticular filters and of taking slitless spectra with 2 grisms. Both image and grism data have been widely used to study…

3D semantic occupancy prediction has emerged as a critical perception task for autonomous driving due to its ability to offer voxel-level semantic and geometric understanding of the environment. However, such a refined representation for…
