ASSESSING THE USABILITY OF MONTEREY PHOENIX SOFTWARE
… one such application, the Monterey Phoenix (MP) modeling tool, for the first time. The objective of this analysis is to test the hypothesis that, among new users, those with prior modeling background will report a better MP user experience and better software usability than those without prior …

Image Reconstruction for X-ray Computed Tomography in Security Screening Applications
… security CT systems. Advances in the forward and prior modeling are demonstrated to improve several aspects of the reconstructed images, including resolution, artifact suppression, and CT accuracy.</p>

FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE IN SPACE ELECTRONICS RELIABILITY: NEGATIVE BIAS TEMPERATURE INSTABILITY
… To our knowledge this is not anticipated by any prior modeling attempts. We justify the exclusion of short channel effects as a possibility, leading us to conclude that positive charge in the dielectric stack is laterally

Advanced Statistical Modeling for Model-Based Iterative Reconstruction for Single-Energy and Dual-Energy X-Ray CT
… models including the data model and the prior model. In this dissertation, we developed an MBIR algorithm for dual-energy CT that included a joint data-likelihood model to account for correlated data noise. Moreover, we developed a Gaussian-Mixture Markov random filed (GM-MRF) image model …

Multiscale simulation of methane assisted fluidized bed biomass gasification
… phenomena obscure the actual causal mechanisms. Prior modeling efforts are deficient in several key areas including gas-phase chemistry and char conversion processes, rendering them unable to conclusively determine operating conditions which achieve high cold gas efficiency and complete char/tar …

Physics Based Modeling and Characterization of Filament Extrusion Additive Manufacturing
… field of FFF, focusing on the multiphysics-based modeling of the system and exploring some empirically determined relationships, is presented herein to provide a more thorough understanding of FFF and its complexities. This review further guides the work discussed in this dissertation. The primary …
