<p>A 3D microwave imaging system suitable for clinical trials has been developed. The anatomy, histology, and pathology of breast cancer were all carefully considered in the development of this system. The central component ...
<p>In this thesis, a 3D microwave imaging method is developed for a microwave imaging system with an arbitrary background medium. In the previous study on the breast cancer detection of our research group, a full wave ...
<p>Recent developments in engineered electromagnetic materials called metamaterials have opened the door to a whole new class of devices and improved performance in existing systems using electromagnetic properties that ...
<p>Attack tree (AT) is one of the widely used non-statespace</p><p>models in security analysis. The basic formalism of AT</p><p>does not take into account defense mechanisms. Defense trees</p><p>(DTs) have been developed ...
<p>Timing-related defects are becoming increasingly important in nanometer-technology integrated circuits (ICs). Small delay variations induced by crosstalk, process variations, power-supply noise, as well as resistive ...
<p>The concept of sparseness is harnessed to learn a low dimensional representation of high dimensional data. This sparseness assumption is exploited in multiple ways. In the Bayesian Elastic Net, a small number of correlated ...
<p>Automated acoustic sensing systems are required to detect, classify and localize acoustic signals in real-time. Despite the fact that humans are capable of performing acoustic sensing tasks with ease in a variety of ...
<p>Data acquisition and diagnostics for chemical and biological analytes are critical to medicine, security, and the environment. Miniaturized and portable sensing systems are especially important for medical and environmental ...
<p>This thesis describes three computational optical systems and their underlying coding strategies. These codes are useful in a variety of optical imaging and spectroscopic applications. Two multichannel cameras are ...
<p>Based on the compressed sensing theorem, we present the integrated software and hardware platform for developing a total-variation based image restoration algorithm by applying prior image information and free-form ...
<p>Compressive holography estimates images from incomplete data by using sparsity priors. Compressive holography combines digital holography and compressive sensing. Digital holography consists of computational image ...
<p>This dissertation describes two computational sensors that were used to demonstrate applications of generalized sampling of the optical field. The first sensor was an incoherent imaging system designed for compressive ...
<p>This dissertation explores computational optical imaging methods to circumvent the physical limitations of classical sensing. An ideal imaging system would maximize resolution in time, spectral bandwidth, three-dimensional ...
<p>The emerging theory of compressed sensing has been nothing short of a revolution in signal processing, challenging some of the longest-held ideas in signal processing and leading to the development of exciting new ways ...
<p>This dissertation describes three computational sensors. The first sensor is a scanning multi-spectral aperture-coded microscope containing a coded aperture spectrometer that is vertically scanned through a microscope ...
<p>The electromagnetic properties of various plasmonic nanostructures are investigated. These nanostructures, which include random clusters, controlled clusters and particle-film hybrids are applied to surface-enhanced ...

<p>One of the most dramatic discoveries in solar-terrestrial physics in the past two decades is the sprite, a high altitude optical glow produced by a lightning discharge. Previous sprite studies ...
<p>Many-core processors offer new levels of on-chip performance by capitalizing on the increasing rate of device integration. Harnessing the full performance potential of these processors requires that hardware designers ...
<p>Many law professors and scholars think of the Supreme Court as a black box--issues and arguments go in to the Court, and decisions come out. The almost mystical nature that these researchers impute to the Court seems ...
<p>This thesis presents spatially and temporally dependent hierarchical Bayesian models for the analysis of social networks and associated textual data. Social network analysis has received significant recent attention ...
