Liu, Xiaoqun (2009-05-15)The increasing demands for improving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quality, especially reducing the imaging time have been driving the channel number of parallel magnetic resonance imaging (Parallel MRI) to increase. ...
-
Hwang, Dae Yon (2016-05-03)Endogenous fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) provides a nondestructive means to interrogate the biochemical composition of biological tissues. Therefore, it has the potential to identify tissue pre-malignant ...
-
Sia, Jeremy P (2016-08-09)Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a recessive disorder affecting one in every 3,600 males. The progressive disorder causes lifelong muscle degeneration and eventual death. As no cure is currently available, research ...
-
Serafino, Michael Joseph (2019-04-04)Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. It is a systemic and progressive disease process where the arterial wall thickens through inflammation, oxidative stress, and dyslipidemia. ...
-
Yuan, Peng (2014-06-03)A successful craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgery depends not only on surgical techniques, but also on an accurate surgical plan. However, the traditional planning methods have proven problematic. Towards this end, we have ...
-
Kim, Dennis D. (2019-07-10)In NMR research, the signal acquisition instrument needs to fulfill high-speed, and high-throughput data collection. The modern NMR receivers are required to process signals through multiple-channels leveraging Software ...
-
Wan, Qiujie (2012-02-14)Optical imaging has been developed quickly in the past decades because it has become an important research tool in biology, biochemistry, and biomedical sciences. Coherence domain optical imaging is one of the well developed ...
-
Gu, Minyu (2019-05-30)^31P MRS offers unique non‐invasive access to investigate the in vivo metabolism and is a significant advancement in the understanding and treating of many disease processes. The challenge of in vivo dynamic ^31P MRS mainly ...
-
Chaudhry, Anuj (2012-02-14)In the study of the mechanical behavior of biological tissues, many complex tissues are often modeled as poroelastic systems due to their high fluid content and mobility. Fluid content and fluid transport mechanisms in ...
-
Varghese, Joshua (2011-08-02)Recent developments in ultrasound elastography have suggested the possibility of using elastographic methods to estimate the temporal mechanical properties of complex tissues. In this context, elastographic methods to ...
-
Feng, Shuo (2013-08-12)During the past two decades, techniques and devices were developed to transmit and receive signals with a phased array instead of a single coil in the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) system. The two techniques to ...
-
Zhang, Chen (2017-01-04)In this dissertation, design, fabrication and measurement of arsenic trisulfide (As2S3) grating couplers have been demonstrated on both bulk lithium niobate (LiNbO3) substrate and thin film LiNbO3. Photonic design tools, ...
-
Chang, Yu-Bing (2012-07-16)In the field of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgery, surgical planning is an important and necessary procedure due to the complex nature of the craniofacial skeleton. Computed tomography (CT) has brought about a revolution ...
-
Gutierrez, Felix (2009-05-15)This thesis presents and discusses research associated with locating wireless devices. Several algorithms have been developed to determine the physical location of the wireless device and a subset of these algorithms ...
-
Webb, Jacob Douglas (2011-08-08)There is a drive for improving the surface uniformity of optical waveguide devices in the photonics lab. This report focuses on the exploration of annealed proton exchange (APE) waveguide fabrication on lithium niobate ...
-
Macik, Dwayne (2012-10-19)A key factor in the vertical integration of optical waveguide devices is the uniformity of the surface across which the coupling takes place. This thesis focuses on the fabrication of annealed proton-exchanged (APE) ...
-
Rajagopalan, Arun Krishnakumar (2016-05-03)While concurrent programming is quickly gaining popularity lately, developing bug-free programs is still challenging. Although developers have a wide choice of race detection tools available, we have found that the majority ...
