Monte Carlo Simulation of Light-Tissue Interaction: Three-Dimensional Simulation for Trans-Illumination-Based Imaging of Skin Lesions (C)
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, Vol. 52, No. 7,

Abstract:
Three-dimensional, voxel-based, and wavelength dependent skin lesion models are developed and simulated using Monte Carlo techniques. The optical geometry of the Nevoscope with trans-illumination is used in the simulations for characterizing the lesion thickness. Based on the correlation analysis between the lesion thickness a ....etc

Abstract-
For near infrared imaging of neonatal head surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid layer, we have developed an imaging modality, which uses perturbation Monte-Carlo estimation of Jacobian of the forward model for photon propagation. In this case, we have shown that the conventional techniques, which uses diffusion approximation for light transport in tissue, fails to give the reconstruction of tissue optical prope ....etc

Non-Linear Analysis and Design of Perforated Thin-walled Steel Strutures

Introduction
Perforated thin-walled steel structures are widely used, however, current design guidelines for them are limited to very few specific cases.
The seminar will try to describe a proposed method to develop new design guidelines for this kind of structures by using the Direct Strength Method (DSM) which is a fast and easy design method for cold-formed steel structures, with great potential for complex and optimized cross sections.

Based on the recently de ....etc

ON PARTICLE FILTERS FOR LANDMINE DETECTION USING IMPULSE GROUND PENETRATING RADAR

ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present an online stochastic approach for landmine
detection based on ground penetrating radar (GPR) signals
using sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods. Since the existence
of true landmines is unknown and random, we propose to
use the reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC)
in association with the SMC methods to jointly detect and localize
landmines in the light of observations. Computer ....etc

Modern radiation therapy techniques, such as stereotactic radiotherapy and tomotherapy, deliver the total treatment dose to the patient using many small fields. This helps to construct a dose distribution which delivers a high dose to the tumour, while minimizing the dose to normal tissue. When considering a single small field, the dose resulting from that small field is usually reported as a relative dose factor (RDF). The RDF is the percentage of dose in a small field as compared to a large reference field. Task group report #51 from the Amer ....etc

The project assignment was delivered by Stephen Northcutt on August 21:
Your topic will be perimeter convergence. In the past firewalls, VPN concentrators, IDS/IPS were hosted on separate devices. Today, Cisco ASA, IBM (formerly ISS) multithread appliance and others give you the same level of protection as individual systems. A recent paper from other students discusses this from a rapid respo ....etc

Abstract

In this paper we consider the variation of eigenvalues and eigenvalue sums across the frequency bins of a MIMO OFDM system. In particular, we consider the changes in the ordered eigenvalues and the eigenvalue sum or page link gain, between two distinct frequency bins. The size of such changes has an important effect both on system performance and design. In addition these results have applications in other areas, including temporal variation, feedback delay and channel estimation. Novel results presented include distribution ....etc

ABSTRACT
A randomized algorithm is defined as an algorithm that typically uses the random
bits as an auxiliary input to guide its behavior. It achievs good performance in the
average case. Formally, the algorithm's performance will be a random variable
determined by the random bits, with (hopefully) good expected value. The worst case is

Study and Modeling of the Mechanical Behavior of Hexagonal Metals

Introduction
Hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals deform plastically by a variety of slip and twinning modes. The relative contribution of these mechanisms depends strongly on the material studied and the conditions, such as temperature, under which the deformation is performed. This work further elucidates the complicated competition and interactions between twinning and slip deformation modes for two hcp materials, namely zirconium and magnesium. The model presented here to ....etc

Abstract

While channel coding is a standard method of improving a system’s energy efficiency in digital communications, its practice does not extend to high-speed links. Increasing demands in network speeds are placing a large burden on the energy efficiency of high-speed links and render the benefit of channel coding for these systems a timely subject. The low error rates of interest and the presence of residual intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by hardware constra ....etc
