Year: 2025

description: Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death globally. With advancements intechnology and data availability, machine learning has emerged as an effective tool for predicting diseaseslike heart disease. This project focuses on the comparative study of three popular boosting algorithms:XGBoost, LightGBM, and AdaBoost, in the context of predicting heart disease. The project aims toleverage these algorithms to develop predictive models that can accurately diagnose heart disease based onvarious clinical features. Using the Cardiovascular Heart Disease dataset, we implement, train, andevaluate each algorithm. The performance is assessed using key metrics such as accuracy, precision,recall, F1-score, and AUC. Our findings indicate that XGBoost delivers superior performance, followed byLightGBM and then AdaBoost. The study concludes by highlighting the importance of model selection inhealthcare applications and suggests future work involving hybrid models and deep learning approaches.

description: The RxNorm vocabulary is a yearly-published biomedical resource providing normalized names for medications. It is used to capture medication use in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, an active and publicly available longitudinal research study following 11,800 children over 10 years. In this work, we present medUse, a visual tool allowing researchers to explore and analyze the relationship of drug category to cognitive or imaging derived measures using ABCD study data. Our tool provides position-based context for tree traversal and selection granularity of both study participants and drug category. Developed as part of the Data Exploration and Analysis Portal (DEAP), medUse is available to more than 600 ABCD researchers world-wide. By integrating medUse into an actively used research product we are able to reach a wide audience and increase the practical relevance of visualization for the biomedical field.

description: We propose an approach to interactively create exploded views of molecular structures with the goal to help domain experts in their design process and provide them with a meaningful visual representation of component relationships. Exploded views are excellently suited to manage visual occlusion of structure components, which is one of the main challenges when visualizing complex 3D data. In this paper, we discuss four key parameters of an exploded view: explosion distance, direction, order, and the selection of explosion components. We propose two strategies, namely the structure-derived exploded view and the interactive free-form exploded view, for computing these four parameters systematically. The first strategy allows scientists to automatically create exploded views by computing the parameters from the given object structures. The second strategy further supports them to design and customize detailed explosion paths through user interaction. Our approach features the possibility to animate exploded views, to incorporate ease functions into these animations and to display the explosion path of components via arrows. Finally, we demonstrate three use cases with various challenges that we investigated in collaboration with a domain scientist. Our approach, therefore, provides interesting new ways of investigating and presenting the design layout and composition of complex molecular structures.

description: In the recently introduced gauge theory of translations, dubbed Coincident General Relativity, gravity is described with neither torsion nor curvature in the spacetime affine geometry. The action of the theory enjoys an enhanced symmetry and avoids the second derivatives that appear in the conventional Einstein-Hilbert action. While it implies the equivalent classical dynamics, the improved action principle can make a difference in considerations of energetics, thermodynamics, and quantum theory. This essay reports on possible progress in those three aspects of gravity theory. In the so-called purified gravity, 1) energy-momentum is described locally by a conserved, symmetric tensor, 2) the Euclidean path integral is convergent without the addition of boundary or regulating terms and 3) it is possible to identify a canonical frame for quantisation.

description: Molecular docking is one of the key mechanisms for predicting possible interactions between ligands and proteins. This highly complex task can be simulated by several software tools, providing the biochemists with possible ligand trajectories, which have to be subsequently explored and evaluated for their biochemical relevance. This paper focuses on aiding this exploration process by introducing DockVis visual analysis tool. DockVis operates primarily with the multivariate output data from one of the latest available tools for molecular docking, CaverDock. CaverDock output consists of several parameters and properties, which have to be subsequently studied and understood. DockVis was designed in tight collaboration with protein engineers using the CaverDock tool. However, we believe that the concept of DockVis can be extended to any other molecular docking tool providing the users with corresponding computation results.

description: Optimization is nothing but a mathematical technique which finds maxima or minima of any function of concern in some realistic region. Different optimization techniques are proposed which are competing for the best solution. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a new, advanced, and most powerful optimization methodology that performs empirically well on several optimization problems. It is the extensively used Swarm Intelligence (SI) inspired optimization algorithm used for finding the global optimal solution in a multifaceted search region. Data clustering is one of the challenging real world applications that invite the eminent research works in variety of fields. Applicability of different PSO variants to data clustering is studied in the literature, and the analyzed research work shows that, PSO variants give poor results for multidimensional data. This paper describes the different challenges associated with multidimensional data clustering and scope of research on optimizing the clustering problems using PSO. We also propose a strategy to use hybrid PSO variant for clustering multidimensional numerical, text and image data.

description: Retinal microsurgery is one of the most challenging types of surgery, yet in practice, intraoperative digital assistance is rare. The introduction of fast, microscope integrated Optical Coherence Tomography (iOCT) has enabled intraoperative imaging of subsurface structures. However, effective intraoperative visualization of this data poses a challenging problem both in terms of performance and engineering as well as for creating easily interpretable visualizations of this data. Most existing research focuses on visualization of diagnostic OCT data where imaging quality is higher and processing times are not an issue. We introduce a perceptually linear color map for a separated encoding of tissue reflectivity and positional information as chrominance and luminance. Based on this color mapping, we propose a Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) method that aids structure perception. To aid subretinal injection tasks, we introduce a novel Layer-Adjusted Maximum Intensity Projection (LA-MIP), correcting for the natural curvature of the retinal tissue. Expert feedback suggests our methods are preferred over baseline methods. Further research is needed to confirm the benefits of our approach in routine clinical applications.

description: The scalar normal modes of higher dimensional gravitating kink solutions are derived. By perturbing to second order the gravity and matter parts of the action in the background of a five-dimensional kink, the effective Lagrangian of the scalar fluctuations is derived and diagonalized in terms of a single degree of freedom which invariant under infinitesimal diffeomorphisms. The spectrum of the normal modes is discussed and applied to the analysis of short distance corrections to Newton law.

Legislating while Learning: How Staff Briefings, Cue-Taking, and Deliberation Help Legislators Take Policy Positions

description: This dissertation examines how legislators learn about policy proposals. It focuses on three common sources of policy information --- staff briefings, cues, and group deliberations --- to show the causal effect of information on legislators' policy positions. It uses a new approach, field experiments, that allows me to answer questions about information, institutions, and outcomes that heretofore have been difficult to study quantitatively. Results from the three studies I conducted are largely consistent with theories of legislating under imperfect information. All three studies find that information affects position-taking. On average, information increases support by reducing legislators' uncertainty. Information is most influential on bills that legislators are ideologically predisposed to support. In some respects, findings extend or challenge existing theories. Legislators appear responsive to repeated messaging. Cues and briefings interact to make legislators even more supportive of bills than we would expect from their separate effects. Cues determine a far greater proportion of positions than prior studies suggested. Finally, group deliberation appears to reduce partisan polarization in bill coalitions. All together, the studies illustrate that imperfect information constrains position-taking, that legislative staff, cue-taking, and deliberation can effectively communicate information, and that legislative institutions influence individual positions by providing policy-relevant information.

description: The advances in high-throughput digitization, digital pathology systems, and quantitative image analysis opened new horizons in pathology. The diagnostic work of the pathologists and their role is likely to be augmented with computer-assistance and more quantitative information at hand. The recent success of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision methods demonstrated that in the coming years machines will support pathologists in typically tedious and highly subjective tasks and also in better patient stratification. In spite of clear future improvements in the diagnostic workflow, questions on how to effectively support the pathologists and how to integrate current data sources and quantitative information still persist. In this context, Visual Analytics (VA) - as the discipline that aids users to solve complex problems with an interactive and visual approach - can play a vital role to support the cognitive skills of pathologists and the large volumes of data available. To identify the main opportunities to employ VA in digital pathology systems, we conducted a survey with 20 pathologists to characterize the diagnostic practice and needs from a user perspective. From our findings, we discuss how VA can leverage quantitative image data to empower pathologists with new advanced digital pathology systems.

Ethics

description: Financial markets, where companies are characterized by a separation of ownership from control and interactions are opaque to a large majority of uninformed investors provide a fertile ground for executives to conduct practices that push the ethical boundaries of accepted and expected behavior. Furthermore, some practices such as tunneling of funds in business groups and backdating of executive's stock option grants exhibit remarkable proliferation among many disparate actors, ones who will argue for the merits of these practices even after they are exposed. In this dissertation I examine the antecedents of widely practiced financial frauds, processes that lead to what I call "legitimized unethicality"- unethical behavior that gains credence among perpetrators while remaining clearly illegal to outsiders. In chapter 1 I look at skewed investments of mutual funds in affiliated companies when these go public, highlighting how shared ownership over financial and non financial companies can lead mutual funds to transfer funds from savers who's portfolios they manage to the business group to which they belong. In chapter 2 I examine the diffusion pattern of stock option backdating among executives in the United States, where co-location (both spatial and temporal) creates clusters of bad behavior among clients of audit firms. I isolate a key "agent of diffusion" that gives credence to the practice of stock option backdating- the local office of the companies' auditor and show, using multiple methods, that this geographical concentration of backdating is the result of heterogeneous acceptance of backdating among local auditors and is dependent on the level of competition among the local offices of these auditors. In the third chapter I turn to look at the social characteristics that promote adoption of stock option backdating and show that this practice is adopted by those executives who experience a gap between their realized compensation and the expected compensation level when comparing to their peers. Backdating is therefore one form of catching up to perceived "fair" levels of compensation. Together these papers demonstrate that some unethical practices can gain legitimacy by perpetrators, and spread widely among them, while remaining clearly unethical to outsiders until exposed.

description: The symmetry and resonance properties of the Fermi Pasta Ulam chain with periodic boundary conditions are exploited to construct a near-identity transformation bringing this Hamiltonian system into a particularly simple form. This `Birkhoff-Gustavson normal form' retains the symmetries of the original system and we show that in most cases this allows us to view the periodic FPU Hamiltonian as a perturbation of a nondegenerate Liouville integrable Hamiltonian. According to the KAM theorem this proves the existence of many invariant tori on which motion is quasiperiodic. Experiments confirm this qualitative behaviour. We note that one can not expect it in lower-order resonant Hamiltonian systems. So the FPU chain is an exception and its special features are caused by a combination of special resonances and symmetries.

Toward a fitness landscape model of firms' IT-enabled dynamic capabilities

description: This chapter presents, extends and integrates a complexity science perspective and applies this to IT-enabled dynamic capabilities (ITDCs) of firms. By doing so, this chapter leverages statistical survey data and uses them as parameters for a simulation using the NK-model. This NK-model creates stochastically generated fitness landscapes that are parameterized using a finite number of (N) elements, or capabilities, and (K) complex interactions between those capabilities, and studies the performance (fitness) of systems. We simulate firm efforts to adaptively explore and walk through a fitness landscape of possible strategies of inter-related capabilities to reach toward higher levels of fitness of ITDCs. Also, our fitness landscape model provides realistic scenarios with a nexus of possible business strategies that can be employed considering the current status, interdependency, and alignment among capabilities in the organization. Our work suggests that firms achieve the highest fitness values when the interdependency among the individual capabilities is relatively small.

description: With increased precipitation and meltwater, most lakes on the Tibetan Plateau have expanded rapidly. However, the impact of erosion and sedimentation following lake expansion remains unclear. Using Lexiewudan and Yanhu Lakes as examples, we created a water depth inversion model using random forest method and combined it with lake bathymetric data and Landsat images and analyzed changes in underwater topography using SRTM and ICESat-2 data. The average water depths of two lakes were 5.92 and 9.82 m, and the root mean square error of inversion values were 0.85 and 0.93 m, respectively. Results showed that the underwater topography underwent considerable changes, in which at least half of the study areas experienced large topographic changes with 2–5 m. Lexiewudan Lake had a topographic change of more than 2 m in 61.28% of the total, while Yanhu Lake made up 69.78% of the total. The erosion and sedimentation volume of Lexiewudan Lake were 0.19 and 0.03 km3 and those of Yanhu Lake were 0.38 and 0.03 km3, respectively. Extensive underwater erosion and sedimentation are closely related to the original topography. Lake water movement, sediment transport, and permafrost degradation in flooded areas may also affect changes in underwater topography.
Medical Animations: A Survey and a Research Agenda

Publisher: name: The Eurographics Association

description: Animation is a potentially powerful instrument to convey complex information with movements, smooth transitions between different states that employ the strong human capabilities to perceive and interpret motion. Animation is a natural choice to display time-dependent data where the dynamic nature of the data is mapped to a kind of video (temporal animation). Clipping planes may be smoothly translated and object transparency adapted to control visibility and further support emphasis of spatial relations, e.g. around a tumor. Animation, however, may also be employed for static data, e.g. to move a camera along a predefined path to convey complex anatomical structures. Virtual endoscopy, where the virtual camera is moved inside an air-filled or fluid-filled structure is a prominent example for these non-temporal animations. Animations, however, are complex visualizations that may depict a larger number of changes in a short period of time. Thus, they need to be assessed in their capability to actually convey information. In this paper, we give a survey of temporal and non-temporal animated visualizations focussed on medical applications and discuss the research potential that arises. To be employed more widely, cognitive limitations, e.g. change blindness, need to be considered. The reduction of complexity in temporal animations is an essential topic to enable the detection and interpretation of changes. Emphasis techniques may guide the user's attention and improve the perception of essential features. Finally, interaction beyond the typical video recorder functionality is considered. Although our focus is medicine, the discussion of a research agenda is partially based on cartography, where animation is widely used.

description: Some recently discovered nonperturbative strong-field effects in tensor-scalar theories of gravitation are interpreted as a scalar analog of ferromagnetism: "spontaneous scalarization". This phenomenon leads to very significant deviations from general relativity in conditions involving strong gravitational fields, notably binary-pulsar experiments. Contrary to solar-system experiments, these deviations do not necessarily vanish when the weak-field scalar coupling tends to zero. We compute the scalar "form factors" measuring these deviations, and notably a parameter entering the pulsar timing observable gamma through scalar-field-induced variations of the inertia moment of the pulsar. An exploratory investigation of the confrontation between tensor-scalar theories and binary-pulsar experiments shows that nonperturbative scalar field effects are already very tightly constrained by published data on three binary-pulsar systems. We contrast the probing power of pulsar experiments with that of solar-system ones by plotting the regions they exclude in a generic two-dimensional plane of tensor-scalar theories.

description: In mitral valve interventions, surgeons have to select an optimal combination of techniques for every patient. Especially less experienced physicians would benefit from decision support for this process. To support the visual analysis of the patientspecific valvular dynamics and an in-silico pre-intervention simulation of different therapy options, a real-time simulation of the mitral valve is needed, especially for the use in a time-constrained clinical environment. We develop a simplified model of the mitral valve and propose a novel approach to simulate the mitral valve with position-based dynamics. As input, a mesh representation of the open-state mitral valve, two polygons representing the open and closed annulus states, simplified chordae tendineae, and a set of forces for approximating the surrounding blood are required. The mitral valve model can be deformed to simulate the closing and opening as well as incorporate changes caused by virtual interventions in the simulation. For evaluation, ten mitral valves were reconstructed from transesophageal echocardiogram sequences of patients with normal and abnormal physiology. Experts in cardiac surgery annotated anatomical landmarks for valve reconstruction. The simulation results for closing the valve were qualitatively compared to the anatomy depicted in the image sequences and, if present, the reproduction of a prolapse was verified. In addition, two virtual interventions (annuloplasty and clipping) were performed for one case and provided new insights about changes in valve closure and orifice area after modification. Each simulation ran at interactive frame rates. Our approach enables an efficient simulation of the mitral valve with normal and abnormal valve closing behavior as well as virtual interventions. The simulation results showed good agreements with the image data in general and reproduced valve closure in all cases. In three cases, prolapse was not or not correctly reproduced. Further research is needed to parameterize the model in pathologic cases.

description: Previous studies show that information security breaches and privacy violations are important issues for organisations and people. It is acknowledged that decreasing the risk in this domain requires consideration of the technological aspects of information security alongside human aspects. Employees intentionally or unintentionally account for a significant portion of the threats to information assets in organisations. This research presents a novel conceptual framework to mitigate the risk of insiders using deterrence and prevention approaches. Deterrence factors discourage employees from engaging in information security misbehaviour in organisations, and situational crime prevention factors encourage them to prevent information security misconduct. Our findings show that perceived sanctions certainty and severity significantly influence individuals' attitudes and deter them from information security misconduct. In addition, the output revealed that increasing the effort, risk and reducing the reward (benefits of crime) influence the employees' attitudes towards prevent information security misbehaviour. However, removing excuses and reducing provocations do not significantly influence individuals' attitudes towards prevent information security misconduct. Finally, the output of the data analysis also showed that subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and attitude influence individuals' intentions, and, ultimately, their behaviour towards avoiding information security misbehaviour.

Lenin Hiding Behind an Empty Signifier: The Making of a Left-Wing Populist Party in the Digital Age

description: This study takes a close look at the making of the Spanish left-wing populist party Podemos, paying special attention to the populist project devised by its original group of founders to capitalize on the political opportunities created by the 2008 economic crisis and the Indignados movement of 2011. Part I examines how Podemos’ founders used digital technology to connect with followers and exchange support and influence with them. It shows that online platforms constitute a precious tool in the hands of populist leaders who seek to mobilize plebiscitarian support for their authority and goals while creating a semblance of democratic participation. Part II delves deep into the biographical histories of the main founders of Podemos to investigate the beliefs and desires guiding their populist project. Based on a combination of qualitative research methods, including archival research, expert interviews, participant observation, and textual analysis, this study challenges the common notion that the founders of Podemos subscribe to the populist “ideology.” Instead, it demonstrates that they used populism strategically in order to take advantage of what Podemos’ leader Pablo Iglesias called a “Leninist moment” – an exceptional situation in which the seizure of power (through electoral means) becomes possible for a Communist party. It also shows that Ernesto Laclau’s theory of populism exerted a strong influence on some party founders. This was particularly the case for Íñigo Errejón, the main proponent of populism in Podemos, who used Laclau’s theory as a guide to thought and action and turned his book On Populist Reason into the first “sacred text” of the populist tradition.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A passive treatment system utilizing an anaerobic digester followed by three plant based treatment cells has been built in Trail, British Columbia, site of the world's largest nonferrous smelter. Water becomes contaminated with heavy metals as it passes through discarded materials from the smelter and through a former Arsenic storage area. This water, containing large amounts of dissolved Zn., Cd., and As is collected and pumped to the pilot scale treatment facility. The facility, capable of treating 12-15,000 L of water daily includes a large anaerobic digester that utilizes waste by-product from the pulp and paper industry as a matrix for Sulphur Reducing Bacteria. The partially treated water then flows through a series of hydroponics cells containing a mixture of metal-resistant fast growing plants. The system uses gravity based hydroponics flow-through and solar powered aeration cells between garden cells. During the summer months transpiration will yield expected (or greater) results. All plants are perennials and after two months of operation there were no signs of impaired plant functioning.

description: Natural and manmade disasters have been increasing in the last decade all over the world affecting millions of people and generating high costs to recover from them. There is a need to implement policies that will foster mitigation and prevention measures and that will address recovery as a long-term process rather than short-term solutions. Chile has overcome several disasters in the last decade and has designed innovative tools to rebuild from the aftermath. The purpose of this research is to evaluate one of these tools, Strategic Reconstruction Master Plans, and what lessons have the different government periods have learned from past disasters in order to apply them for future ones. The research compares and contrasts two case studies in which master plans were the main tool implemented for recovery purposes, these are Pelluhue and Santa Olga, and both are located in the Maule region. The study evaluates the methodology that each project implemented to recover from the disaster period and what lessons are drawn from each case for future policy applications. The paper incorporates three main research methods. First, archival research on post-disaster efforts; second, technical documentation from each case study and local media from each period; and third, in depth interviews to experts and stakeholders involved in each process together with field observations.

The Freyina is a very successful, endemic group of Neotropical salticids. G. B. Edwards has recently published a comprehensive review of this group (Edwards 2015). It is quite possible that the Freyina represent diversification or radiation from a single ancestor transported from Africa to South America by the prevailing east-to-west ocean currents that link the two continents. A similar form of transport, in the Eocene, is thought to account for the introduction of caviomorph rodents and primates to South America, each group descending from a single ancestor (Poux et al. 2006).

description: This dissertation is concerned with international financial crisis response and the role that formal and informal international institutions play in this process. It is about understanding the potential of and limits to international crisis governance. It tries to answer three interrelated questions. First, what are the mechanics of international crisis lending? Second, what role can international institutions play in effectively distributing information so that policy responses can be optimized? Finally, what crisis governance structures are best suited to economic and political circumstances of the global financial system? In order to address these questions this dissertation uses a combination of formal (game theory) and informal theory building. It then examines these theoretical arguments using an empirical analysis based on historical survey of crisis response since the late nineteenth century and a comparative case study of crisis management during the Great Depression (1930-31) and the Asian Financial Crisis (1997-98). With regard to the first question, it argues that crisis lending is not simply shaped by the interaction of crisis lenders and borrowers. Ultimately, the terms of a crisis loan are negotiated in a space whose limits are determined by two additional actors: international investors/speculators and domestic political opposition. With regard to the second, it argues that both formal and informal international institutions play an important role in disseminating information and thus policy adaptation and change. However, there are clear limits to what institutions can do. In practice, this means that the goal of creating a crisis-free system is impossible. Finally, with regard to the broad question of crisis governance, it argues that the most effective financial governance system is one build around a partnership between a concert of key financial powers and an international financial institution dedicated to maintaining stability in the financial system.
