Practical localized waves generation
Since the early works on localized waves (LW), extensive results were published on this important subject, from both the theoretical and the experimental points of view. Nevertheless, those experimental techniques of LW generation suffer from several shortcomings. A major one is that only pulse …

Sources of localized waves
The synthesis of two types of Localized Wave (L W) pulses is considered; these are the 'Focus Wave Model (FWM) pulse and the X Wave pulse. First, we introduce the modified bidirectional representation where one can select new basis functions resulting in different representations for a solution to …

Localized Excitation Fluorescence Imaging (LEFI)
A major limitation in tissue engineering is the lack of nondestructive methods to assess the development of tissue scaffolds undergoing preconditioning in bioreactors. Due to significant optical scattering in most scaffolding materials, current microscope-based imaging methods cannot "see" through …

Granular Hydrogels for Localized Nanoparticle Delivery
Skin diseases represent a significant clinical and socioeconomic burden, yet effective topical delivery of advanced therapeutics remains a major challenge. Nucleic acid–based therapies hold enormous promise for locally modulating gene expression and restoring skin homeostasis, but their translation …

Localized Feature Selection For Unsupervised Learning
… of data matters more, which implies that localized feature selection is more desirable.</p> <p> In this dissertation, we focus on cluster-wise feature selection for unsupervised learning. We first propose a Cross-Projection method to achieve localized feature selection. The proposed …

Localized Kernel Methods for Signal Processing
… processing methods using specially designed localized kernels for parameter recovery under noisy condition. The first method addresses the estimation of frequencies and amplitudes in multidimensional exponential models. It utilizes localized trigonometric polynomial kernels to detect the …

Localized Topology Control in Wireless Networks
… reliable, and significantly outperforms existing localized broadcast algorithms.

Localized methods for protein interaction prediction
Identification of protein-protein interactions is important for drug design and the treatment of diseases. We propose a novel threading algorithm, LTHREADER, which generates accurate local sequence-structure alignments and integrates various statistical scores and experimental binding data to …

Intrinsically Localized Lattice Vibrations in Crystalline Lattices
We examined the formation of Intrinsically Localized Modes (ILMs) for a pair of harmonic phonons along the direction [111] of the Sodium Iodide (NaI) crystalline lattice. The tendency for ILMs to form at a certain center-of-mass momentum ▁q and corresponding relative momentum vector ▁k is …

Wayfinding localized research practices through mobile technology
<p>This dissertation presents wayfinding—the process of orienting oneself amid the myriad users, technologies, and digital spaces impacting any writing work—as a research methodology for contextualizing writing in mobile environments. Central to web design and non-web service design, wayfinding is …

Localized wave solutions in optical fiber wavelengths
… shown to form a natural basis for synthesizing localized wave (LW) solutions that describe localized, slowly decaying transmission of energy in free space. In this work, we demonstrate the existence of LW solutions in optical fiber waveguides operated in the linear regime. In this sense, these …

GPS based localized routing algorithms for wireless networks.
We discuss routing algorithms for wireless networks with the goal of achieving high (or guaranteed) delivery rate and increasing the node life in the network. Some know methods were studied: Most Forward within Radius (MFR) and directional algorithm (DIR). We propose some new location based routing …

Green Chimney - Localized Carbon Sequestration in closed Environment
Global climate is changing rapidly and unequivocally due to greenhouse gases (GHG) emission. According to IPCC, the largest contribution to the increase in GHG level is fossil combustion emission (56.6%). Although there are many ways to minimize GHG level in the atmosphere, Carbon Capture and …

Self-Assembling Bioaffinity Hydrogels for Localized Antibody Delivery
… have been documented in some mAb treatments. Localized sustained release of mAb at disease sites might mitigate the risk of such toxicities. Antibody drugs are formulated typically for parenteral delivery because of degradative mechanisms in gastrointestinal tract. The assumption has been that …

Adaptive Spectrally Localized Three-Dimensional Schroedinger Poisson Solver
The number of iterations required is not dependent on the size of the grid. This method is O(kN), where k is the number of eigenvalues desired and N is the number of grid points. Any subset of the eigenvalue spectrum can be found without the need to find eigenvalues outside of that range.
