description: When deep neural network (DNN) was first introduced to the medical image analysis community, researchers were impressed by its performance. However, it is evident now that a large number of manually labeled data is often a must to train a properly functioning DNN. This demand for supervision data and labels is a major bottleneck in current medical image analysis, since collecting a large number of annotations from experienced experts can be time-consuming and expensive. In this paper, we demonstrate that the eye movement of radiologists reading medical images can be a new form of supervision to train the DNN-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system. Particularly, we record the tracks of the radiologists' gaze when they are reading images. The gaze information is processed and then used to supervise the DNN's attention via an Attention Consistency module. To the best of our knowledge, the above pipeline is among the earliest efforts to leverage expert eye movement for deep-learning-based CAD. We have conducted extensive experiments on knee X-ray images for osteoarthritis assessment. The results show that our method can achieve considerable improvement in diagnosis performance, with the help of gaze supervision.

description: Olfaction can be considered an important sensory modality in the next generation of Virtual Reality (VR) systems. Some studies have developed wearable olfactory displays to implement spatiotemporal control of olfaction. They release scented air under or in front of the users’ nose through tubes. These displays are generally cumbersome, and require the users to wear some invasive equipment on their faces and bodies. In addition, they are very limited in the quantity and number of odours that can be stored and generated. The research described in this paper aims at developing olfactory display that is wearable and that allows us to control and deliver at least four different odours. The study has focused on technical solutions for delivering at least four different odours to the users’ nose, and on wearability issues. A first prototype of the device has been developed and tested with an initial group of users, in order to check the device performances and the quality of the user experience. The test results are promising, and useful for the improvement of the device.

description: The way people respond to messaging from public health organizations on social media can provide insight into public perceptions on critical health issues, especially during a global crisis such as COVID-19. It could be valuable for high-impact organizations such as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the World Health Organization (WHO) to understand how these perceptions impact reception of messaging on health policy recommendations. We collect two datasets of public health messages and their responses from Twitter relating to COVID-19 and Vaccines, and introduce a predictive method which can be used to explore the potential reception of such messages. Specifically, we harness a generative model (GPT-2) to directly predict probable future responses and demonstrate how it can be used to optimize expected reception of important health guidance. Finally, we introduce a novel evaluation scheme with extensive statistical testing which allows us to conclude that our models capture the semantics and sentiment found in actual public health responses.

Odors at the Coherence of the senses in artistic experiences
Creators: name: Fanuel, Laurence Claudine
Publisher: name: Digital Olfaction Society
Year: 2016

description: Odors are deep triggers of emotions. As per research by Thomas Hummel (1) with people who have lost the sense of smell, odors seem to be at the crossroad of the other senses, making the full picture more complete and to be immersed in it.
Based on these observations, we - Christine Glen, painter, and Laurence Fanuel, perfumer, with Olivier Wahl, artistic coach (2), decided to test the importance of smells in context by immersing the public into multimodal artistic experiences (3). We thought “Let’s stop thinking about the senses, let’s live them”. As artists and human being questioning on what it is to BE and to be HUMAN, we design experiences with various sensory stimuli created from the most intense of our personal feelings (4). We call these experiences Dialogues of Essences as we believe that at the resonance of our senses is the vibration of our life, that the senses are the link to the undulatory side of human beings.
This presentation reviews learning acquired through 10 years creating odors for artistic events. Part of this work has been published in the book L’Art Olfactif Contemporain (5).

description: Environmental enrichment is the stimulation of the brain, which involves the enhancement of an animal’s physical or social environment. It influences brain plasticity, stimulates neurogenesis, increases neurotrophic factor expression, and protects against the effects of brain injury[1]. Environmental enrichment reduce the incidence or severity of undesirable or abnormal behaviours, such disorders like; OCD, stereotypy, autism[2], depression or anxiety and phobias. Abnormal behaviours observed in animals include locomotor stereotypies (weaving, pacing, and route-tracing) and mouth-based behaviours such as feather pecking, barbering, cannibalism, bar biting and many more. We distinguish 5 types of enrichment: social, occupational, physical, nutritional and sensory (or stimuli) enrichment. The last one can be: visual, auditory or in other modalities (olfactory, tactile, taste)[3].
The vast majority of animals are macrosmatic. The main sense which they are used in exploration is sense of smell (chemical receptors). We can use this trend in the design of sensory environmental enrichment with olfactory stimuli. For certain animal species we can use a variety of naturally attractive odours. For example- a cats as a predators are interested in feathers. The olfactory stimulation can also use pheromones, such as DAP (dog appeasing pheromone) or feline facial pheromone, which gives calming effect.

description: The evolution of High-Performance Computing (HPC) platforms enables the design and execution of progressively larger and more complex workflow applications in these systems. The complexity comes not only from the number of elements that compose the workflows but also from the type of computations they perform. While traditional HPC workflows target simulations and modelling of physical phenomena, current needs require in addition data analytics (DA) and artificial intelligence (AI) tasks. However, the development of these workflows is hampered by the lack of proper programming models and environments that support the integration of HPC, DA, and AI, as well as the lack of tools to easily deploy and execute the workflows in HPC systems. To progress in this direction, this paper presents use cases where complex workflows are required and investigates the main issues to be addressed for the HPC/DA/AI convergence. Based on this study, the paper identifies the challenges of a new workflow platform to manage complex workflows. Finally, it proposes a development approach for such a workflow platform addressing these challenges in two directions: first, by defining a software stack that provides the functionalities to manage these complex workflows; and second, by proposing the HPC Workflow as a Service (HPCWaaS) paradigm, which leverages the software stack to facilitate the reusability of complex workflows in federated HPC infrastructures. Proposals presented in this work are subject to study and development as part of the EuroHPC eFlows4HPC project.

description: Abstract:

This paper explores the interplay between quantum tunneling and time travel, proposing a new framework for understanding temporal paradoxes within quantum mechanics and general relativity. Conventional theories suggest that closed timelike curves (CTCs), predicted in solutions to Einstein’s field equations, could enable time travel under specific conditions. However, these models often lead to causality violations and paradoxes, such as the grandfather paradox.

We introduce a novel approach where quantum tunneling effects, vacuum fluctuations, and modified metric tensors may provide a self-consistent mechanism for resolving paradoxes in time travel scenarios. By extending the standard path integral formalism and integrating quantum gravity corrections, we examine the possibility that temporal evolution follows probabilistic, rather than deterministic, paths when near CTC regions. Our findings suggest that quantum tunneling effects may serve as a natural “regulator,” preventing classical paradoxes while allowing limited forms of retrocausality.

Key Highlights:

New theoretical framework linking quantum tunneling with closed timelike curves (CTCs).

Mathematical model incorporating quantum fluctuations into Einstein’s field equations.

Resolution to common time travel paradoxes via probabilistic path selection.

Potential testable predictions in quantum entanglement and gravitational wave anomalies.

This research contributes to the broader discussion of whether time travel is theoretically possible under quantum and relativistic conditions while providing a consistent mathematical approach to temporal paradoxes.

Keywords: Quantum tunneling, time travel, closed timelike curves, temporal paradoxes, causality, quantum gravity, path integral formalism, retrocausality, vacuum fluctuations, general relativity.

Year: 2025

description: This thesis explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in enhancing the writing skills of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. With the advancement of educational technology, AI-based platforms—such as grammar checkers, paraphrasing tools, and AI writing assistants—have become increasingly common in language classrooms. The study examines how these tools support EFL learners in improving their grammar, coherence, vocabulary, and overall writing fluency. The paper also discusses the potential benefits and limitations of AI integration in language education, focusing on Uzbek EFL contexts. By evaluating recent research and practical implementations, the thesis highlights how AI can serve as a personalized and adaptive aid in the writing process, fostering both autonomy and accuracy in learner output.

description: Traditional dynamic models of continuum robots are in general computationally expensive and not suitable for real-time control. Recent approaches using learning-based methods to approximate the dynamic model of continuum robots for control have been promising, although real data hungry -- which may cause potential damage to robots and be time consuming -- and getting poorer performance when trained with simulation data only. This paper presents a model-based learning framework for continuum robot closed-loop control that, by combining simulation and real data, shows to require only 100 real data to outperform a real-data-only controller trained using up to 10000 points. The introduced data-efficient framework with three control policies has utilized a Gaussian process regression (GPR) and a recurrent neural network (RNN). Control policy A uses a GPR model and a RNN trained in simulation to optimize control outputs for simulated targets; control policy B retrains the RNN in policy A with data generated from the GPR model to adapt to real robot physics; control policy C utilizes policy A and B to form a hybrid policy. Using a continuum robot with soft spines, we show that our approach provides an efficient framework to bridge the sim-to-real gap in model-based learning for continuum robots.

Molecular determinants of olfactory habituation
Creators: name: O'Halloran, Damien M.
Publisher: name: Digital Olfaction Society
Year: 2016

description: Sustained odor input can lead to reversible decreases in sensitivity to odor. Understanding the molecules that integrate sustained odor input are important for decoding the neuronal properties that tune odor sensitivity and prevent over stimulation. Here we will describe our data using Caenorhabditis elegans to understand how sustained odor input is encoded within olfactory neurons. Previous research has identified a protein kinase G (PKG) that is necessary to invoke olfactory habituation in C. elegans1, and we have found that during acute presentation of odor, this PKG is localized to the cytosol and after sustained odor input, moves into the nucleus of the olfactory neurons2,3. We also uncover a cGMP mediated signaling pathway within the cilia of the olfactory sensory neurons that is necessary to trigger the nuclear entry of PKG4. Our work provides insight into how the molecular landscape within olfactory neurons change during sustained odor input.

description: This presentation aims to present a new encapsulation technology, based on agro-sourced products, especially for volatile and olfactive molecules.
 CREASPHER is a Creathes’ proprietary patented technology, involving emulsion solidification by « flash freezing », which permits to isolate, protect and release encapsulated oily substances (pure or mixed) from an oily matrix material. Microcapsules are presented in a stable water dispersion form, powder form or can be deposit on textile and fabrics.
  CREASPHER is also a green alternative to existing technologies such as prilling or spray-drying. Through our full mastery of the particle size, very small microcapsules are obtained in the range of 0.5 to 40µm. By this way, issues on stability or texture can be easily overcome and some specific applications can be reach.
 Moreover, CREASPHER does not use any chemical mechanism, but only phase change phenomena and does not produce any secondary product. INCI formula used is 100% indicated for food, medical or agriculture applications and could also be used for organic products.
  This technology is available for several applications: food/feed, nutraceutics, cosmetics, insects’ lure...  Release of the encapsulated core product can occur either by diffusion (through the shell material) or under mechanical stimulus.

description: Accelerated ripening through the exposure of fruits to controlled environmental conditions and gases is nowadays one of the most assessed food technologies, especially for climacteric and exotic products. However, a fine granularity control of the process and consequently of the quality of the goods is still missing, so the management of the ripening rooms is mainly based on qualitative estimations only. Following the modern paradigms of Industry 4.0, this contribution proposes a non-destructive RFID-based system for the automatic evaluation of the live ripening of avocados. The system, coupled with a properly trained automatic classification algorithm based on Support Vector Machines (SVMs), can discriminate the stage of ripening with an accuracy greater than 85%.

Core Medication use in General Practice Prescriptions: A pilot study evaluating the DU90% in Irish General Practice.
Creators: name: McCarthy, Caroline
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Version 1; submitted manuscript awaiting peer review

Abstract

 

Background: The Drug Utilisation 90% (DU90%), the number of medicines making up 90% of a doctor’s prescribing, is a simple tool that can be used to describe core prescribing patterns. This research aimed to pilot the application of the DU90% in the Irish context, to investigate the relationship between the DU90% and prescriber and practice characteristics and prescribing quality.

Methods: Retrospective observational study using anonymous prescription data from a sample of Irish GPs. Participating GPs provided demographic details and extracted prescription data for the years 2018-2022 using their existing software systems. The DU90% was calculated annually at both the practice and prescriber level. Prescribing quality indicators included antibiotic, benzodiazepine prescribing rates and high-risk non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) prescribing.  The association of the DU90% with prescriber and practice characteristics and prescribing quality indicators was explored with multi-level modelling.

Results: Thirty-eight prescribers from twenty-two different practices were included. The mean DU90% for prescribers was 141.5 (SD 12.9) and for practices was 145.62 (SD11.87). Practices in receipt of the rural deprivation grant had a significantly lower DU90% (IRR 0.94, 95% CI; 0.88-0.98). There was no evidence of an association between prescriber-level characteristics and the DU90% (gender, years qualified, number of sessions worked). There was a small positive relationship between the prescriber DU90% and total prescriptions, antibiotic and benzodiazepine prescribing rates, and higher rates of high-risk NSAID prescriptions.

Conclusion: Applying the DU90% to Irish general practice prescriptions is feasible, revealing that GPs typically use 140 medicines in the bulk of their prescribing.

description: Here we study the kinetics of liquefaction and solidification of thin bismuth films grown on the insulating substrate by the pulsed laser deposited (PLD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and investigated by in situ electron and X-ray diffraction. By PLD, we can grow films similar to those obtained using MBE, studied by ex-situ AFM, KPFM, XRR, and XRD. The liquefaction-solidification transition is monitored in real-time by RHEED and synchrotron XRD, resulting in a dewetting phenomenon and the formation of spherical droplets which size depends on the initial film thickness. Studying this phase transition in more detail, we find instantaneous liquefaction and solidification, resulting in formation of the nanodots oriented with a (110) crystallographic plane parallel to the substrate. Furthermore, we propose a two-step growth mechanism by analyzing the recorded specular diffraction rods. Overall, we show that the PLD and MBE can be used as a method for the highly controlled growth of Bi nanostructures, including their crystallographic orientation on the substrate.

description: Understanding thermal transport at the micro- to nanoscale is crucially important for a wide range of technologies ranging from device thermal management and protection systems to thermal-energy regulation and harvesting. In the past decades, non-contact optical methods such as time-domain and frequency-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR and FDTR) have emerged as extremely powerful and versatile thermal metrological techniques for the measurement of material thermal conductivities. Here, we report the measurement of thermal conductivity of thin films of CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3), a prototypical metal-halide perovskite, by developing a time-resolved optical technique called vibrational-pump visible-probe (VPVP) spectroscopy. The VPVP technique relies on the direct thermal excitation of MAPbI3 by femtosecond (fs) mid-infrared (MIR) optical pump pulses that are wavelength-tuned to a vibrational mode of the material, after which the time dependent optical transmittance across the visible range is probed in the ns to the us time window using a broadband pulsed laser. Using the VPVP method, we determine the thermal conductivities of MAPbI3 thin films deposited on different substrates. The transducer-free VPVP method reported here is expected to permit spectrally resolving and spatiotemporally imaging the dynamic lattice temperature variations in organic, polymeric, and hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductors.

description: In this paper, we propose, implement, and test two novel downlink LTE scheduling algorithms. The implementation and testing of these algorithms were in Matlab, and they are based on the use of Reinforcement Learning, more specifically, the Qlearning technique for scheduling two types of users. The first algorithm is called a Collaborative scheduling algorithm, and the second algorithm is called a Competitive scheduling algorithm. The first type of the scheduled users is the Primary Users, and they are the licensed subscribers that pay for their service. The second type of the scheduled users is the Secondary Users, and they could be unlicensed subscribers that dont pay for their service, device to device communications, or sensors. Each user whether it is a primary or secondary is considered as an agent. In the Collaborative scheduling algorithm, the primary user agents will collaborate in order to make a joint scheduling decision about allocating the resource blocks to each one of them, then the secondary user agents will compete among themselves to use the remaining resource blocks. In the Competitive scheduling algorithm, the primary user agents will compete among themselves over the available resources, then the secondary user agents will compete among themselves over the remaining resources. Experimental results show that both scheduling algorithms converged to almost ninety percent utilization of the spectrum, and provided fair shares of the spectrum among users.

description:
DNA methylation (DNAm) has been suggested to play a critical role in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), through mediating the relationship between trauma and PTSD. However, this underlying mechanism of PTSD for African Americans still remains unknown. To fill this gap, in this article, we investigate how DNAm mediates the effects of traumatic experiences on PTSD symptoms in the Detroit Neighborhood Health Study (DNHS) (2008-2013) which involves primarily African Americans adults. To achieve this, we develop a new mediation analysis approach for high-dimensional potential DNAm mediators. A key novelty of our method is that we consider heterogeneity in mediation effects across subpopulations. Specifically, mediators in different subpopulations could have opposite effects on the outcome, and thus could be difficult to identify under a traditional homogeneous model framework. In contrast, the proposed method can estimate heterogeneous mediation effects and identifies subpopulations in which individuals share similar effects. Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing methods for both homogeneous and heterogeneous data. We also present our mediation analysis results of a dataset with 125 participants and more than 450,000 CpG sites from the DNHS study. The proposed method finds three subgroups of subjects and identifies DNAm mediators corresponding to genes such as HSP90AA1 and NFATC1 which have been linked to PTSD symptoms in literature. Our finding could be useful in future finer-grained investigation of PTSD mechanism and in the development of new treatments for PTSD.

description: An electronic tongue or nose device (eT/eN) is an assembly of non-specific sensors. The information given by each sensor is complementary and the combination of all sensors' results generates a unique fingerprint. Our team has developed a new paradigm based on a combinatorial approach to simplify greatly the preparation of sensing materials for constructing e-noses/tongues.  Instead of designing and synthesizing a large number of differential receptors, that often represents a laborious and time-consuming task, we prepared an array of  combinatorial assemblies behaving as cross-reactive receptors by self-assembly of a handful of building blocks (BBs: small and easily accessible molecules with different physicochemical properties) mixed in varying and controlled proportions. By combining such an array with a real-time optical detection system such as Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi), the obtained eT is capable of generating 3D continuous evolution patterns just like vivid landscapes for each sample. The same approach is currently developed to sense gas and VOCs on an SPRi bearing more than 40 sensors opening a new approach for e-nose design.

description: We will briefly describe different research projects developed by the CHU of Nice on topics related to olfaction and employing new technologies.
In the Clock’N test project we compared the effects of visual and olfactory stimulations on physiological responses. Results suggest that odors are well suited to investigate arousal-related mechanisms, while videos are ideal to investigate above all attention-related mechanisms.
The SafEE (Safe Easy Environment) is a project financed by the French National Research Agency and the National Independent-Living Support Fund. It focuses on older persons at risk or suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and related behavioral, motor and cognitive disorders. One of the main goals of the project is to improve the autonomy and quality of life of these patients by developing tailored non-pharmacological therapeutic solutions using aromatherapy (Aromatherapeutics). This is mainly through to the olfactory stimulation of the limbic system of the brain directly altering cognitive abilities and emotions.
The Rel@x is a project focuses on persons coming for a first memory consultation at the CHU of Nice, and is meant to reduce their anxiety before the cognitive tests through sensory immersion in a virtual reality environment with coupled images and odors, released by a olfactory necklace.

Density filamentation nonlinearly driven by the Weibel instability in relativistic beam plasmas

description: Density filamentation has been observed in many beam-plasma simulations and experiments. Because current filamentation is a pure transverse mode, charge density filamentation cannot be produced directly by the current filamentation process. To explain this phenomenon, several mechanisms are proposed such as the coupling of the Weibel instability to the two-stream instability, coupling to the Langmuir wave, differences in thermal velocities between the beam and return currents, the magnetic pressure gradient force, etc. In this paper, it is shown that the gradient of the Lorentz factor can, in fact, represent the nonlinear behavior of a plasma fluid and further that the nonuniform Lorentz factor distribution can give rise to electrostatic fields and density filaments. Simulation results together with theoretical analyses are presented.

description: Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to infer missing knowledge triples based on known facts in a knowledge graph. Current KGC research mostly follows an entity ranking protocol, wherein the effectiveness is measured by the predicted rank of a masked entity in a test triple. The overall performance is then given by a micro(-average) metric over all individual answer entities. Due to the incomplete nature of the large-scale knowledge bases, such an entity ranking setting is likely affected by unlabelled top-ranked positive examples, raising questions on whether the current evaluation protocol is sufficient to guarantee a fair comparison of KGC systems. To this end, this paper presents a systematic study on whether and how the label sparsity affects the current KGC evaluation with the popular micro metrics. Specifically, inspired by the TREC paradigm for large-scale information retrieval (IR) experimentation, we create a relatively "complete" judgment set based on a sample from the popular FB15k-237 dataset following the TREC pooling method. According to our analysis, it comes as a surprise that switching from the original labels to our "complete" labels results in a drastic change of system ranking of a variety of 13 popular KGC models in terms of micro metrics. Further investigation indicates that the IR-like macro(-average) metrics are more stable and discriminative under different settings, meanwhile, less affected by label sparsity. Thus, for KGC evaluation, we recommend conducting TREC-style pooling to balance between human efforts and label completeness, and reporting also the IR-like macro metrics to reflect the ranking nature of the KGC task.
