The lensing capabilities of a single subwavelength slit surrounded by a finite array of grooves milled into a brass plate is presented. The modulation of the beam intensity of this ultrasonic lens can be adjusted by varying the groove depth. Numerical simulations as well as experimental validations at 290 kHz are shown. The experimental results are in good agreement with the numerical simulatio...

This paper reports a construction of typologies of players based on their strategic reasoning in turn-taking games. Classifications have been done based on latent class analysis and according to different orders of theory of mind, and exploratory validations have been provided for the resulting classifications. Finally, interaction of the typologies described by these classifications is discuss...

The Landweber method is a simple and flexible iterative regularization algorithm, whose projected variant provides nonnegative image reconstructions. Since the method is usually very slow, we apply circulant preconditioners, exploiting the shift invariance of many deblurring problems, in order to accelerate the convergence. This way reasonable reconstructions can be obtained within few iteratio...

Data clustering is the process of identifying natural groupings or clusters within multidimensional data based on some similarity measure. Clustering is a fundamental process in many different disciplines. Hence, researchers from different fields are actively working on the clustering problem. This paper provides an overview of the different representative clustering methods. In addition, sever...

The management of advanced genitourinary malignancies has undergone a major transformation with the advent of novel drugs and targeted therapies in recent years. Assessment of the treatment risks and benefits is required for each patient and therefore better knowledge of the different clinical and molecular aspects of these diseases is warranted. The results of further studies and biomarker val...

Finite difference method is used to calculate the via-plate capacitances for vias with pad. Due to the symmetric structure, the solving domain is reduced to a rectangular ρ − z region. Boundary conditions along the region are discussed. Both barrel-plate and pad-plate capacitances are studied with various geometric parameters. The results could be used as validations for possible analytical exp...
