(2019-04-17)The interaction of light with biological media represents an increasingly important area of research. Recent expansion of ultrafast laser sources in the midinfrared (MIR) regime is driving research in previously unexplored ...
-
(2021-04-28)We attempt to see if strong coupling between a quantum electromagnetic field and Landau quantized (LQ) graphene is achievable. LQ graphene acts as a collection of two-level quantum bits (qubits). This coupling between field ...

Confocal Microscopy and Nuclear Segmentation Algorithm for Quantitative Imaging of Epithelial Tissue (2015-07-08)Carcinomas, cancers that originate in the epithelium, account for more than 80% of all cancers. When detected early, the 5-year survival rate is greatly increased. Biopsy and histopathology is the current gold standard for ...
-
(2017-11-09)Many diagnostic tests for disease management and overall health monitoring provide only an instantaneous measurement of the patient’s state of health, leaving intermediate fluctuations in biochemistry levels undisclosed. ...
-
(2018-08-29)Optical interrogation of tissues can be used for monitoring physiological parameters, such as heart rate or heart rate variability, or for diagnosis of disease. One such measurement modality is the photoplethysmogram (PPG), ...
-
(2012-10-19)This dissertation explores the importance of the panorama for American Renaissance writers' participation in ideological formations in the antebellum period. I analyze how Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel ...

(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A multi-layered periodic structure is investigated for optimal shape design in diffraction gratings. A periodic dielectric material is used as the scattering profile for a planar incident wave. Designing optimal ...
-
(2014-10-15)In this dissertation the various forms and applications of the phase retrieval problem in imaging are discussed. The phase retrieval problem in general refers to the estimation of the phase of a complex-valued function ...
-
(2020-06-23)Radiation portal monitors (RPMs) are employed worldwide at border crossings and other entry points as a method to detect the illegal transportation of radioactive material. Scintillating detectors composed of polyvinyl ...
