Poster - Thur Eve - 69: Attenuation Correction for 99m Tc-Tetrofosmin Micro SPECT/CT Cardiac Measurements in Rats

Objective: Small animal microSPECT is an important pre‐clinical imaging modality. However, the quantitative accuracy may be somewhat limited by photon loss due to attenuation in the body of the subject. Our goal is investigate the effects of including attenuation correction in the reconstruction of rat SPECT/CT data, and to assess the impact on the quantitative uptake in the myocardium and the uniformity of the distribution of uptake. Method: A rat was injected with ∼2.0 mCi of 99mTc‐tetrofosmin (Myoview) and scanned with a nanoSPECT scanner (BioScan, Washington, DC). Scan parameters were as follows: single, 1.5 mm pinhole, 4 hour scan duration commencing 30 minutes post injection, 48 projections, and circular scan. The rat was also scanned with the built‐in CTscanner (45 keV, cone beam). The CT data were reconstructed using filtered backprojection and rescaled to generate a linear attenuation map for the 140 keV 99mTc photons. The SPECT data were reconstructed using an iterative ordered subsets expectation maximization (OSEM) algorithm. Iterative reconstruction allows photon attenuation to be modelled as part of the reconstruction algorithm, and the reconstruction was done both with and without including attenuation. Results: As expected, inclusion of attenuation correction in the reconstruction increased by about 30% the total observed activity in the heart. However, we found no evidence that ignoring the attenuation correction introduces any significant artefacts in the uniformity of the reconstructed activity map. Conclusions: Including attenuation correction in the reconstruction of 99mTc cardiac images has little impact on the measured distribution of activity in the myocardium.
In vivo directed evolution as a service for the development of novel microorganisms leveraging the full potential of white biotechnology.

Today’s exploitation of nature is no longer sustainable. New sustainable industrial processes must urgently be implemented. White Biotechnology, also known as Industrial Biotechnology, has potential to build a greener future by replacing fossil-based processes for the production of our essential needs. This field uses living microorganisms such as yeast, bacteria and microalgae to generate sustainable industrial products and processes.  
However, despite significant advancements in genome editing tools, metabolic engineering and data exploitation, these techniques fail in developing microorganisms fulfilling demanding industrial requirements for the production of a wide array of products. For this reason, the potential of White Biotechnology still has to be achieved. 
Altar is a French Deep Tech founded in 2017 which develops a disruptive platform harnessing the power of natural selection for the development of novel microorganisms fulfilling specific industrial needs. Our innovation induces in vivo directed evolution or adaptative evolution of microorganisms in order to adapt them to the harsh conditions of industrial processes. Altar’s Evolution Platform is based on proprietary technology and culture protocols controlled by novel algorithms. Moreover, its operation is completely automated and digitalized. 
Altar has built an enthusiastic and skilled team of 8 women and men with combined experience in business, biotechnology, software, engineering, fluidics and microbiology. The EIC Accelerator project aims to finalize the Evolution Platform’s development and commercialize it globally. We gathered 19 letters of interest highlighting interest from various international stakeholders. 
Our ambition for the next decade is to become a global leader in the development of microorganisms for White Biotechnology and therefore pave the way towards a sustainable and green European future.

545 Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) - Treatment of Choice for Osteoid Osteoma

Background and aims: Osteoid osteoma is a relatively common benign bone tumor. Until recently, treatment has been surgical excision of the nidus. In 1992 Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was first reported as a new method of treatment. Our aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Computed Tomography (CT) guided RFA as a minimally invasive therapy for osteoid osteoma. Methods: 17 patients aged 11-18 years were treated with RFA sessions. Osteoid osteomas were located in femoral body (5), tibial body (3), inferior articular surface of tibia (3), superior articular surface of tibia (2), sacrum (2), cotyle (1) and vertebral arc (1). RFA was performed under sedation. After localization of the nidus, with 3mm CT slices osseous access was achieved with a 2 mm coaxial drill system, through which an expandable RF electrode with 7 arrays was advanced. RF energy was applied for 6-10 min at 80-110C. A technically successful ablation was regarded when electrode was placed within the center of the nidus and the desired temperature was achieved. Clinical success was evaluated with the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) which was calculated before and after (1, 4 and 12 months) the treatment. Results: Technical success was 100%. Clinical success was achieved in 94, 1% of the lesions (16/17). One patient had recurrence of pain at 5 months and a second RFA was performed successfully. No immediate or delayed complication was observed. Conclusions: CT-guided percutaneous RFA is a safe, efficient, cost effective and minimally invasive method for treatment of osteoid osteomas.
The impact of changes in gait speed and step frequency on the extent of the center of mass displacements.

Center of mass (COM) trajectory plays a crucial role in the analysis of human body movements. This research aimed at studying vertical and transverse COM displacements during gait on a treadmill at a given velocity and step frequency. Locomotion study was accomplished using: Vicon 250, Cardionics Treadmill 3113 and metronome Korg Ma-30. The data achieved for 12 women and 15 men aged 21-22 revealed similarity in vertical COM oscillations in both groups. Lateral COM displacements (L(COM)) were slightly higher in men than in women and they showed tendency to decrease as gait velocity increased. During natural locomotion there was an increasing trend as walking speed increased. At a given velocity of locomotion L(COM) were decreasing as step frequency increased. The only astonishing thing was that the biggest changes of vertical COM oscillations (V(COM)) were noticed at the fastest walking speed (6 km/h). It seems that so large decrease in V(COM) during walking with high velocity and increased step cadency is a consequence of considerable shortening of the movement cycles and performing time of one step.

Transparent solar panel technology for energy autonomous greenhouses and glass buildings

According to United Nations, the world population will reach to 9.7 billion by 2050. Food, energy and water are three critical resources that must be managed if mankind is going to thrive. With these figures, we will need a 70-100% increase of food supply to maintain the current nutrition levels. Greenhouse farming is a solution to the food worldwide demands as it increases the food production per acre up to 100% compared to open field agriculture. However, Greenhouse farming also implies both strong energy cost and gas emission. Indeed, agriculture production accounts for 14% of global energy demand and, in 2004, for 13.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. 
On top of that, the world primary energy demand could increase by 50% by the middle of the century. Nowadays, buildings account for nearly 40% of the total energy consumption globally but it is estimated that potential energy savings in buildings could reach between 20% and 40% with new solutions. Solar panels enable energy savings; typically installed on the roof, but they do not offer versatility for other type of application, such as windows to allow the entrance of the light inside buildings or greenhouses.
Our company has developed PanePower Solar Window (SW). PanePowerSW is a unique transparent (up to 70%) solar panel glass that generates clean energy through PV technology and more importantly allows the light to shine through greenhouses and commercial buildings windows. PanePowerSW contributes to the energy savings in buildings up to 30%, while in greenhouses, it enables the growing of the crop while reducing energy costs, quantified in 25% of the total operational costs. Thanks to Phase II project, we expect to reach the market in 2020, gaining sales of at least 20,000m2 in China and The Netherlands. By 2024, after our geographical expansion, we will reach cumulative revenues of ~€71 M; cumulative profits of €18.72M and, considering the costs of Phase 2 project in €2.13M, a ROI of 3.5.
Non-Linear temporal dynamics of mutually inhibiting pyramidal cells: underlying mechanism for bi-stable perception and disambiguation

Bi-stable perception has been the key tool to investigate how retinal information reaches consciousness. In existing theoretical work to explain this phenomenon, it has been assumed that a neural circuit, called mutual inhibition, plays the key role in perceptual alternations. Two neurons (or neuron groups) representing competing percepts inhibit each other and one becomes dominant while another becomes suppressed. Adaptation of the dominant neuron and recovery of suppressed neuron causes the reversal of the dominance after few seconds. While there are elaborate theoretical models implementing this circuit, its physiological data from real neurons is missing. I will use in vitro preparation combined with a state-of-art “dynamic clamp” system where the disynaptic inhibitory connections between two real pyramidal cells are established by model synapses and inhibitory neuron models. I will run paradigms equivalent to experimental paradigms known in the research of bi-stable perception. In this way, I aim at elucidating the neurophysiological factors underlying the known dynamical properties of bi-stable perception. I will investigate how dominance durations and their distributions are influenced by the activity levels of the two neurons (equivalent to the well-known Levelt’s propositions), how their stochasticity is influenced by noise, how memory effect can be observed, and how feedback projection influences their dynamics.
There is often an ambiguity in input images due to noise or conflicting information. Coherent representation of such input can be established if the mutually inhibiting neurons representing conflicting cues are influenced by feedback such that the neural signals consistent with global properties are enhanced. Therefore, mutual inhibition may work as a fundamental unit of signal processing in establishing coherent perception. This project will elucidate this essential mechanism underlying perceptual organization.
Online Medication Information for Citizens: A Comparison of Demands on eHealth Literacy.

Many people take prescription medications and need information about the risks and benefits associated with taking them. Citizens are increasingly turning to the internet for health information and medication information is no exception. There are a variety of websites that offer Online Medication Information for Citizens (OMIC). This study compared six such websites using the Health Literacy Online (HLO) Checklist as a framework. Additionally, we conducted a detailed analysis of the individual content in each OMIC for three different medications. We identified several strengths and weaknesses of the different websites in terms of how they were designed and written and their appropriateness for users with limited eHealth literacy.
Neural network : an  overparametrization perspective 

In recent times, overparametrized models where the number of model parameters far exceeds the number of training samples available are the methods of choice for learning problems and neural networks are amongst the most popular overparametrized methods used heavily in practice. It has been discovered recently that overparametrization surprisingly improves the optimization landscape of a complex non-convex problem, i.e., the training of neural networks, and also has positive effects on the generalization performance. Despite improved empirical performance of overparametrized models like neural networks, the theoretical understanding of these models is quite limited which hinders the progress of the field in the right direction. Any progress in the understanding of the optimization as well as generalization aspects for theses complex models especially neural networks will lead to big technical advancement in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. During the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship-Global Fellowship (MSCA-IF-GF), I plan to study the optimization problem arising while training overparametrized neural networks and  generalization in overparametrized neural networks. The end goal for this project is to provide better theoretical understanding of the optimization landscape while training overparametrized models as a result of which to provide better optimization algorithms for training as well as to study the universal approximation guarantees of overparametrized models. We also aim to study the implicit bias induced by optimization algorithms while training overparametrized complex models.  To achieve the objective discussed above, I will be using tools from traditional optimization theory, statistical learning theory, gradient flows, as well as from statistical physics.

A New Mathematical Model for Pressure Transient Analysis in Stress-Sensitive Reservoirs

For stress-sensitive reservoir, the permeability decreases with the increase of the effective overburden pressure, and pressure transient analysis based on constant rock properties, especially permeability, can lead to significant errors. In this paper, according to the permeability-pressure relationship described by a power function instead of the popularly used exponential function, a new mathematical model for transient fluid flow in stress-sensitive reservoirs is established. The numerical solution is obtained by the fully implicit finite difference method which has been validated by some published analytical solutions before it is used to compute pressure transient responses for stress-sensitive reservoirs. Pressure response curves are plotted and the effects of relevant parameters on both pressure drawdown and buildup responses have been studied. The presented model could provide an alternative method for understanding and predicting the performances for stress-sensitive reservoirs.
Topological shape optimization of microstructural metamaterials using a level set method

Abstract Metamaterials usually refer to artificial composite materials consisting of an array of periodically arranged microstructures, engineered to provide unusual material properties that may not be easily found in nature. This paper proposes a new topological shape optimization method for systematic computational design of a type of mechanical metamaterials with negative Poisson’s ratios (auxetic materials), which integrates the numerical homogenization approach into a powerful parametric level set method (PLSM). The homogenization method is used to obtain the effective properties of the periodic microstructure, while the PLSM is applied to achieve shape evolutions and topological changes of the microstructure, until the desired material properties are achieved. The key concept of the PLSM is the interpolation of the implicit level set surface by using a given set of compactly supported radial basis functions (CSRBF), which are positioned at a number of given and fixed knots inside the design domain. Several typical numerical examples are used to demonstrate the favorable characteristics of the proposed method in the design of micro-structured metamaterials.
Radon doses in the indoor environments of Murree and Islamabad, Pakistan: A comparison of active and passive techniques

To study the radiological impact of indoor radon levels in different seasons on population, indoor air samples were collected from Islamabad (Alt. 534 m) and Murree (Alt. 2300 m) regions. Radon concentrations were measured using an active technique by taking in situ measurements on RAD-7, solid state α-detector and passive technique by taking time integrated measurements on CR-39 detector, in winter, spring, summer and autumn. The results of both techniques were analysed and compared. The suitability of active technique is discussed. Both active and passive measurement techniques lead to annual mean effective doses of (3.12, 1.28) mSva −1 and (3.23, 1.15) mSva −1 , respectively to the inhabitants of respective regions and a strong correlation has been observed between the results of both techniques. The results showed that population residing in Murree region received comparatively less doses as compared to population in Islamabad region. Furthermore, the estimated dose levels for both regions were found within the annual dose limits recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection.
