We demonstrate a diffraction geometry which provides strong sensitivity to the microstructure of thin films. While a coherent beam of X-rays is being reflected from the surface of the sample, measurements were made of the scattering of the exit beam below ...
This paper presents a general method for incorporating prior knowledge into kernel methods such as Support Vector Machines. It applies when the prior knowledge can be formalized by the description of an object around each sample of the training set, assumi ...
Absorption and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra were recorded for colloidal CdSe quantum dots of different sizes. No significant deviation between the PLE and the absorption spectra, provided appropriate corrections and sample treatment are made ...
Cascade damage simulations in a 12 nm nanocrystalline Ni sample are presented. Sinks present in the sample such as grain boundaries and vacancy defects influence the movement of self-interstitial atoms (SIAs). Two temporal mechanisms of SIA activity during ...
We present a new method for measuring the electrical resistivities of a stratified sample of thin biomaterials or tissue layers. The presented technique makes use of impedance measurements between It pairs of electrodes separated by varying distances. The ...
As a recursive algorithm, the particle filter requires initial samples to track a state vector. These initial samples must be generated from the received data and usually obey a complicated distribution. The Metropolis-Hastings (M-H) algorithm is used for ...
IB-LIGA (Ion Beam Lithographie, Galvanoformung and Abformung) is a new technique for the 3D structuring of photoresist materials. It is a direct-write (maskless) technique that uses high energy (0.5-3.5 McV) light ions (protons or helium ions) for the irra ...
The signal processing community is increasingly interested in using information theoretic concepts to build signal processing algorithms for a variety of applications. A general theory on how to apply the mathematical concepts of information theory to the ...
In this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm to perform multi-scale Fourier transform analysis of piecewise stationary signals with application to automatic speech recognition. Such signals are composed of quasi-stationary segments of variable lengths. Th ...
Resource location is a fundamental problem for large-scale distributed applications. This paper discusses the problem from a probabilistic perspective. Contrary to deterministic approaches, which strive to produce a precise outcome, probabilistic approache ...
