A bridged denoising convolutional neural network (BD-CNN) for photon-counting CT
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)Traditional monochromatic CT scanners have served as one of the most critical medical diagnostic instruments. Recently, the development of photon-counting CT brings spectral information to the otherwise black-and-white CT ... -
A brief history of topical invention in 20th century United States rhetorical studies
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)Although work on topical invention in the last century has neither a single coherent concept nor consistent terminology, it maintains a deep structure in which topics identify the sources for linkages that connect claims ... -
A broadband implementation of a coupled-chamber method for measuring air-flow resistivity
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12) -
A broadly applicable 3-D neuron reconstruction framework based on deformable models and software system with parallel GPU implementation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-08) -
A bug definition and classification system using program levels and error types
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-12)Software bugs and security vulnerabilities are becoming more and more common, yet the question still remains, "What is a bug?". In this paper, we present a definition of a software bug. Once a base definition is defined, ... -
A calculation of the high temperature transport properties of zinc
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1976-05)We simplify the Fermi surface model further in our treatment of thermoelectric power. As in the noble metals, the shape of the form factor results in a positive contribution. Anisotropy in our calculated values of Sa and ... -
A chromatographic separation of polymers and its application
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05) -
A combined experimental approach to investigate the underlying mechanisms of history-dependent phenomena in skeletal muscle : the Drosophila jump muscle and single fiber tissue engineering
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)Alternatively, muscle fibers engineered from mammalian skeletal muscle progenitor cells may provide an additional experimental platform to investigate history-dependent phenomena. Muscle fibers produced in vitro would allow ... -
A comparison of 2 methods for FEM simulations of discretized polycrystals
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
A comparison of competitive adsorption of NOM and SOCs on single walled nanotubes and activated carbon
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-08) -
A comparison of the effects of varied bandwidth specular and diffusive reflections on the precedence effect
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08) -
A comparison of the quality of light distribution in different diamond models
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)We created visualizations to show both single photons traveling through the scene and many photons in a single scene. Different colors were used to differentiate photon wavelengths or to show the number of bounces a photon ... -
A computational analysis of human genetic variation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-12) -
A computational framework for modeling grain structure development in three dimensions
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-08) -
A computational model for C. elegans locomotory behavior : application to multi-worm tracking
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-12) -
A computational model of fluid transport through lymphatic capillary endothelial junctions
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05) -
A concurrent multiscale method for coupling atomistic and continuum at finite temperatures
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-08) -
A contact model for geometrically accurate treatment of polytopes in simulation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)I herein present a formulation of non-penetration constraints between pairs of bodies which accounts for all possible combinations of active contact. This is the first formulation that accurately models the body geometries ... -
A contemporary assessment of the lateral silicon-germanium bipolar transistor
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-05)The goal of this research is to develop a design environment that can enable the creation of digital circuitry for the proposed technology. -
A context-sensitive security type system for Java
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)This thesis presents the theoretical framework for A context-sensitive security type system for Java programs. The primary contribution is JSec, a two-stage protocol that prepares a program containing sensitive data to ...
