The Di erential Transfer Matrix Method is extended to the complex plane, which allows dealing with singularities at turning points. The results for real-valued systems are simpli ed and a pair of basis functions are found. ...

A novel CT imaging structure based on compressive sensing (CS) is proposed. The main goal is to mitigate the CT imaging time and thus x-ray radiation dosage without compromising the image quality. The utilized compressive ...

Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD) have received renewed interest as a bridge-to-transplantation as well as a bridge-to-recovery device. Ironically, reports of malfunction and complications have hindered the growth of ...

Wide-area monitoring, protection, and control (WAMPAC) is a key factor in the implementation of smart transmission grids. WAMPAC has a crucial role in detection and prevention of widespread events with an ultimate goal of ...

In J.D. Jackson’s Classical Electrodynamics textbook, the analysis of Dirac’s charge quantization condition in the presence of a magnetic monopole has a mathematical omission and an all too brief physical argument that ...

This paper reviews the merits of modernizing the power grid and discusses the way electric utilities in various countries are directing their practices toward o ering enhanced sustainability, reliability, resilience, ...

The design challenges of voltage reference generators in CMOS technology have increased over the years in low voltage low power CMOS integrated circuits constituting analog, digital and mixed-signal modules. The emergence ...

Unstructured wireless networks such as mobile ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks have been rapidly growing in the past decade. Security is known as a challenging issue in such networks in which there is no fixed ...
