A Calibration Method for a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna and Software Defined Radio Configuration
… a demonstrated method for the performance of a calibration method for a controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) using a Software Defined Radio (SDR) configuration. The combination CRPA and SDR system consists of a low-cost 7-element configuration where the antenna RF inputs are feed directly …

A model of the directional sensitivity of low-pressure CF₄ dark matter detectors
… of DMTPC detectors, evaluates the model against calibration data, and finally uses the model to project the directional sensitivity of the under-construction next generation DMTPC detector. This detector is expected to have a cubic meter of fiducial volume which, at 30 Torr, corresponds to a …

A neutron diffraction spectrometer
… for the design, the details of the spectrometer, calibration data and method of operation are presented in this thesis. A relation between angle of diffraction and neutron energy is obtained from the known lattice spacing of the copper crystal. A measure of the total cross section of cadmium from …

In Vivo Data Capture Using HSSR for Calibration of Computational Models
… significantly on the accuracy of the input data used to calibrate various behavioral parameters of the model. To date, most computational models have been built using generic in vitro data, mostly because of a lack of accurate and meaningful datasets from in vivo testing. The next major step …

Distortion-optimal parallel MRI with sparse sampling: from adaptive spatio-temporal acquisition to self-calibrating reconstruction
… of the support model; and (ii) the redundancy in data acquired by the parallel receiver coils. The PARADISE adaptation procedure ensures that maximally compressed MR data is acquired by optimally exploiting the degrees of freedom in the joint k-t sampling space, thereby enabling high accelerations …

Hot-Wire Anemometer for the Boundary Layer Data System
… suitable for use with the Boundary Layer Data System (BLDS). BLDS provides a unique platform for in- flight measurements because of its small, self-contained, robust design and flexible architecture. Addition of a hot-wire anemometer would provide BLDS with a sensor that could directly …

Development of differential scheme micromechanics modeling framework for predictions of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) complex modulus and experimental validations
… for materials that vary from those used in the calibration of the model, and their reliance on large calibration data sets, which led to introducing some fuzzy factors in their predictions. In order to overcome the limitations of an empirical approach, a fundamental micromechanics modeling …

Epidemiologic synergy - the contribution of heterosexual HIV transmission to the spread of HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM) in South Africa
… with women. HIV prevalence and sexual behaviour data collected among MSM in South Africa served as calibration data. Results: The model estimated that 28.7% (IQR: 27.4-28.9%) of MSM were HIV positive in 2010. By simulating a counterfactual HIV epidemic in South Africa, where HIV only spreads via …

SIMULTANEOUS ARTIFACTS CORRECTION AND ACCELERATION FOR CHEMICAL EXCHANGE SATURATION TRANSFER IMAGING VIA DEEP LEARNING
… Current practice relies on acquiring extensive data at intentionally changed saturation frequencies and estimating the desired signal through data interpolation. This method is effective, but takes long acquisition time, making it impractical for clinical applications. To address this challenge, …
