X-ray based Phase-Contrast Imaging (PCI) techniques have been demonstrated to enhance the visualization of soft tissues in comparison to conventional imaging methods. Nevertheless the delivered dose as reported in the literature of biomedical PCI applications often equals or exceeds the limits prescribed in clinical diagnostics. The optimization of new computed tomography strategies which inclu...

The methods used in the microprocessor protection of electrical equipment for forming orthogonal components input currents ensure their reliable isolation after changing mode followed by one or more periods fundamental frequency. This is due to inertia functional elements, particular, digital frequency filters, as well saturation steel magnetic cores current transformers. To increase speed sele...

In this project, we had to implement a parallel solver for linear equation systems, using a technique known as Gaussian elimination (GE). As with many other algorithms for solving linear equation systems, GE is performed on the matrix representation of the system, Ax = b, where A is the coefficient matrix and b is the vector of known values. GE works by applying a set of elementary row operatio...

We model unobserved preference heterogeneity in demand systems as random Barten scales in utility functions. These Barten scales appear as random coefficients multiplying prices in demand functions. Consumer demands are nonlinear in prices and may have unknown functional structure. We therefore prove identification of additive Generalized Random Coefficients models, defined as additive nonparam...
