(2007-12-27)Department: Electrical EngineeringThis dissertation presents several innovations in the area of small animal image registration. We start with the problem of reconstructing 3D histological volumes. A new method is proposed to normalize intensity across ...
-
(2013-09-19)Department: Civil EngineeringThe prediction of failure probability for engineering components/devices under service conditions often involves the use of predictive models and measurement data. The fact that no model is absolutely correct indicates the ...
-
(2010-09-23)Department: Biomedical EngineeringDiffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides an indirect measure of tissue structure on microscopic scales. To date, DTI is the only imaging method that provides such information in vivo, and it has proven to be a valuable tool ...
-
(2013-04-15)Department: Biomedical EngineeringDiffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides a unique approach to probing the microstructure of biological tissues noninvasively and DTI-based tractography is an irreplaceable tool to measure anatomical connectivity in human ...
-
(2022-11-17)Department: Civil EngineeringComputational models and physical measurements are vital assets in understanding and optimizing the design and operation of engineered systems. However, the credibility of both models and experiments is challenged by ...
