Present-day economic and environmental constraints push power systems to be operated closer to their limits. A common limiting factor for power transmission is the risk of voltage instability in recent years. As the ultimate countermeasure to voltage collapse, load shedding is normally considered...

Advanced Machine Learning Techniques for Analysis of 4D Brain Images in Ischemic Stroke Diagnosis and Assessment
DownloadFall 2023
Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS), a devastating cerebrovascular disorder, is one of the leading causes of disability and mortality worldwide. It occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted, resulting in the deprivation of oxygen and nutrients, leading to neuronal damage and...

Advanced methods in Glancing Angle Deposition to control thin film morphology, microstructure and texture
DownloadSpring 2014
Structuring of material on the nanoscale is enabling new functional materials and improving existing technologies. Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) is a physical vapor deposition technique that enables thin film fabrication with engineered columnar structures on the (10 to 100) nm scales. In this...
