Structural, Optical, Surface, and Gas-Sensing Properties of rGO/Sn1–xZnxO₂ Nanocomposites
Abstract: rGO/Sn₁–ₓZnₓO₂ nanocomposites with x = 0.00–0.75 were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion followed by wet impregnation with reduced graphene oxide. The adopted synthesis route enabled homogeneous Zn incorporation into the SnO₂ matrix and uniform distribution of rGO, leading to improved structural integrity and interfacial contact between the two components. XRD confirmed a dominant tetragonal cassiterite SnO₂ structure, while FTIR, FESEM, EDS, UV–visible, and BET analyses verified oxide–rGO coupling, Zn-dependent structural modification, …

A Review on Fundamental Premises and Algorithmic Approaches in Compressive Sensing
Abstract: This paper addresses the classical approach of acquiring signals by following the well celebrated Shannon sampling theorem that underlies the majority devices of current technology, viz. analog-to-digital conversion, medical imaging, or audio and video electronics. In medical imaging, there are problems related to acquisition time and compression. Compressive sensing (CS) paradigm addresses the shortcomings of traditional data acquisition by sampling signals much more efficiently. CS is a novel kind of …

Application of Compressive Sensing for Sampling and Reconstruction of MRI Images
Abstract: In recent years, a new theory of compressive sensing has evolved which asserts that super resolved signals and images can be recovered with far fewer samples than that demanded by the Nyquist sampling theorem. It is required that the signal being sensed has a low information-rate meaning that it is sparse in original or some transform domain. Former approaches capture the complete signal and process it to extract the information. …
