Rapid and accurate estimation of soil moisture content (SMC) is an important part of
precision agriculture, and it is also one of the key problems to be solved in field real-time …

Although the physical properties of a structure, such as stiffness, can be determined using
some statical tests, the identification of damping parameters requires a dynamic test. In …

Ultrasound elastography (USE) is a promising tool for tissue characterization as several
diseases result in alterations of tissue structure and composition, which manifest as changes …

Shear wave elastography (SWE) enables the measurement of elastic properties of soft
materials in a non-invasive manner and finds broad applications in various disciplines. The …

Ultrasound shear wave elasticity imaging is a valuable tool for quantifying the elastic
properties of tissue. Typically, the shear wave velocity is derived and mapped to an elasticity …

Abstract Background and Objective Biopsy stands as the gold standard for kidney transplant
assessment, yet its invasive nature restricts frequent use. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is …

Soil moisture is a crucial factor in the field of meteorology, hydrology, and agricultural
sciences. In agricultural production, surface soil moisture (SSM) is crucial for crop yield …

For systems with complicated structures, reliability analysis based on survival signature has
been carried out by modelling time-to-failure data with specific distributions. However, for …

Tissue stiffness is related to soft tissue pathologies and can be assessed through palpation
or via clinical imaging systems, eg, ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. Typically …

Quantitative assessment of mechanical properties of biological soft tissues is frequently
evaluated using a noninvasive modality, called ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) …
