  Models To Derive the Resonant Frequency of a Liquid in a Rectangular Tank With a Curved Bottom 

  Garcia, Alejandro Daniel (2021)

  This thesis investigates the resonant frequency of a partially-filled rectangular tank of water with a curved bottom that is subject to a horizontal harmonic excitation. The primary goal was to find a model that can accurately ...
• Simulation-based Partial Volume Correction for CT-Guided PET/ SPECT imaging of Nasal Cavity Bone 

  Zhao, Haiyu (2021)

  Paranasal sinus cancers account for 3% of all head and neck cancers. Of these cases, only 15% cases are ethmoid sinus cancers (Harari et al., 2014). Cancer in these regions may spread rapidly to the adjacent areas, especially ...
