Trust region methods for estimation of a complex exponential decay model in MRI with a single-shot or multi-shot trajectory (in review) 

Hu, Chenxi; Reeves, Stanley (2015-05-05)
Joint estimation of spin density, R2* decay and off-resonance frequency maps is very useful in many magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications. The standard multi-echo approach can achieve high accuracy but requires a ...

An efficient auxiliary variable method for quantification of spin density, R2* decay and field inhomogeneity maps in magnetic resonance imaging 

Hu, Chenxi; Reeves, Stanley (2015-04-07)
Quantification of spin density, $R_2^*$ decay and off-resonance frequency maps is very important in some applications of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To reconstruct these parameter maps, a time-varying model such as ...

Characterization of Plenoptic Imaging Systems and Efficient Volumetric Estimation from Plenoptic Data 

Anglin, Paul; Reeves, Stanley J.; Thurow, Brian S. (2015-01-13)
Plenoptic imaging is a rapidly growing field driven by the ever-declining cost of imaging systems and the promise of image focus, perspective, and depth of field manipulation during post-processing. While plenoptic ...

On the Characterization and Reduction of Ill-Conditioning in Jointly Estimating Proton Density, T2* Decay and the Field Map 

Hu, Chenxi; Reeves, Stanley (2014-02-13)
We employ principal angles as a tool to demonstrate that the complex frequency is the main cause for ill-conditioning of model-based MRI reconstruction. We show that kernels of EPI and spiral trajectories have different ...

Categorizing Sedimentary Rocks by Origin 

Elton, David; Elton, Dave (2014-02-06)
Using examples, this video tells students what to look for in order to identify rocks.

Unconfined Compression Test 

Elton, David; Elton, Dave (2014-02-06)
The unconfined compression test. Collect approcimately 1200g of soil passing through the No. 4 Sieve. Add water and mix soil sample thoroughly. Weigh empty Harvard Miniature Mold and place layer of soil in mold. Compact ...

Bearing Capacity 

Elton, David; Elton, Dave (2014-02-06)
The pressure that a foundation unit can impose onto the supporting earth mass without causing overstressing (or shear failure) is the soil's bearing capacity. The three principal modes of soil failure established by the ...

Atterburg Limits 

Elton, David; Elton, Dave (2014-02-06)
Atterberg Limits describe the water contents at which clays change behavior. The water content indicating the division between the liquid and plastic state is the liquid limit. The Liquid Limit is determined using a brass ...
