The domain of data mining (DM) deals with analyzing different types of data. The data typically used in data mining is in the format of a single table, with primitive datatypes as attributes. However, structured (complex) data, such as graphs, sequences, networks, text, image, multimedia and relational data, are receiving …

The task of mathematical modeling of dynamic systems from observed system behavior, widely known under the name of system identification, breaks down into two subtasks. The first task, referred to as structure identification, is to specify the model structure, i.e., the functional form of the model. In practice, the model …

In this thesis we demonstrate a new, simple, and ecient method for the solid-state synthesis of oxides with a complex chemical composition. We modify the traditional solidstate synthesis method, which is used in the majority of ceramics laboratories around the world, in order to prepare multi-metallic oxide powders from classic …

Measurement of ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) and extremely high vacuum (XHV) is important in many advanced research and technology fields such as: equipment for surface analysis, particle accelerators, simulation of interstellar space, processing of advanced semiconductors, electron tubes, FE displays, etc. For traceable calibrations of UHV and XHV gauges we need …

This thesis presents the results of our experimental work in the field of new advanced materials such as liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), electrocalorics and magnetoelectrics. In the first part, the conversion of thermal to mechanical energy is addressed in LCEs. The three important, newly discovered, chemical and physical parameters for …

This dissertation addresses the problem of parameter estimation of stochastic, discrete-time, state-space models from input and output data. This class of problems can be found in many modern engineering applications, where the relationships in the real world processes have to be inferred from the observed data and available prior knowledge. …

Organotin compounds (OTCs) are the organometallic compounds with the most numerous applications. Today, it is more than 50 years of their intensive development and use. While they are highly useful chemicals they are also extremely toxic to a wide array of aquatic and terrestrial living organisms at very low concentrations. …

In this doctoral thesis, radio signal propagation in special environments is discussed. The primary focus is on the development of a path loss model for radio signal propagation in long road tunnels and underground passageways, which allows a rather precise calculation of radio signal path loss and, consequently, a quick …

Minimally invasive surgery is one of the most promising trends in medicine. Despite of its obvious advantages - the use of small incisions reducing trauma and risk of infection - it still represents a great challenge for the surgeon, as visual guidance and dexterity are severely impaired. In the case …

Engineered nanofibers and nanoparticles are recognized as capable of inducing cellular perturbations according to the oxidative stress paradigm or by interacting directly with biological membranes. A number of authors in their investigations with the nanofibres and nanoparticles has reported the ability of nanofibers and nanotparticle to cause the different damage …
