Algorithms & software for intelligent patient monitoring
Creators: name: Brouse, Christopher J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In Canada, more deaths occur after a patient experiences an adverse event in a hospital than from breast cancer, motor vehicle accidents and AIDS combined. Current technology contributes to the problem, by adding greater complexity to the clinician's workload. There is still significant promise that computerized assistance can improve patient safety. A clinical monitoring expert system, incorporating algorithms and expert knowledge, could automatically diagnose problems and provide advice on how best to avoid hazard. This thesis investigates the design and performance of algorithms and software for an intelligent patient monitor, which forms the foundation of a clinical monitoring expert system. An algorithm has been developed for detecting electrocautery noise in the electrocardiogram (ECG) using wavelet analysis. Electrocautery noise can lead an expert system to make incorrect diagnoses. In 15 surgical cases spanning 38.5 hours of ECG data, we achieved a false positive rate of 0.71% and a false negative rate of 0.33%. While existing hardware approaches detect activation of the noise source without any ability to assess its impact on the measured ECG, our software approach detects the presence of noise in the signal itself. Furthermore, the software approach is cheaper and easier to implement in a clinical environment than existing hardware approaches. A software framework, called iAssist, has been developed for intelligent patient monitoring. The framework is extensible, flexible, scalable, and interoperable. It supports plugins to perform data acquisition, signal processing, graphical display, data storage, and output to external devices. iAssist currently incorporates the electrocautery noise detection algorithm as a plugin for artifact rejection, as well as two plugins to detect change point events in physiological trends. In 38 surgical cases, iAssist detected 868 events, of which clinicians rated more than 50% as clinically significant and less than 7% as artifacts. Clinicians found iAssist intuitive and easy to use.

description: Centralized/Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) comes into prominence to reduce the rising energy consumptions and maintenance difficulties of the next-generation networks. However, C-RAN has strict delay requirements, and it needs large fronthaul bandwidth. Function splitting and Radio over Ethernet are two promising approaches to reduce these drawbacks of the C-RAN architecture. Meanwhile, the usage of renewable energy sources (RESs) in a C-RAN boosts the energy-efficiency potential of this network. In this paper, we propose a novel model, which is called Green Radio OVer Ethernet (GROVE), that merges these three approaches to maximize the benefits of C-RAN while maintaining the economic feasibility of this architecture. We briefly explain this model and formulate an operational expenditure minimization problem by considering the several restrictions due to the network design and the service provisioning. Then we linearize the quadratic routing decision constraints in the problem to solve it with a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) solver. Results show that it is cost-effective to choose routing, function splitting, and RES decisions together. Our solution surpasses classical disjoint approaches for all studied cases. Besides, we provide a network scalability analysis to determine the MILP solver's limits for larger network topologies.

description: The quality of images captured by wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is key for doctors to diagnose diseases of gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, there exist many low-quality endoscopic images due to the limited illumination and complex environment in GI tract. After an enhancement process, the severe noise become an unacceptable problem. The noise varies with different cameras, GI tract environments and image enhancement. And the noise model is hard to be obtained. This paper proposes a convolutional blind denoising network for endoscopic images. We apply Deep Image Prior (DIP) method to reconstruct a clean image iteratively using a noisy image without a specific noise model and ground truth. Then we design a blind image quality assessment network based on MobileNet to estimate the quality of the reconstructed images. The estimated quality is used to stop the iterative operation in DIP method. The number of iterations is reduced about 36% by using transfer learning in our DIP process. Experimental results on endoscopic images and real-world noisy images demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method over the state-of-the-art methods in terms of visual quality and quantitative metrics.

description: Most navigational charts are an amalgamation of geospatial information of varying quality collected using different techniques at different times. Data collected with high resolution multi-beam echo sounders or lidar systems may co-exist on the chart with data collected with lead-line as far back as the 18th century. Data quality on charts is currently provided as a series of Category Zone of Confidence (CATZOC) values. For every part of the chart, CATZOC values provide information about the horizontal and vertical uncertainty of bathymetric information, as well as the seabed coverage and feature detection. CATZOC is portrayed in ECDIS as an additional layer with glyphs using a rating system of stars: six to two stars for the best to lowest quality data and “U” for unassessed data. With the provided information mariners may interpret the seabed morphology, identify shoals that pose a threat for the plotted voyage, and select routes that maintain under-keel clearance, however it is not always well understood and utilized by mariners. The aim of this research work is the development of new visualization and integration methods of data quality on charts to support decision making on board. In this two-fold work we begin with investigating new visualization methods for the bathymetric data uncertainty on charts and we subsequently utilize the results of the visualization work for the integration of marine navigation related information in support of decision making and safe navigation of ships.

description: Using a simple uniform jet model of prompt emissions of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), we reproduce the observed peak energy--isotropic energy relation. A Monte Carlo simulation shows that the low-isotropic energy part of the relation is dominated by events viewed from off-axis directions, and the number of the off-axis events is about one-third of the on-axis emissions. We also compute the observed event rates of the GRBs, the X-ray-rich GRBs, and the X-ray flashes detected by HETE-2, and we find that they are similar.

description: Reductions in the cost of PV and batteries encourage households to invest in PV battery prosumage. We explore the implications for the rest of the power sector by applying two open-source techno-economic models to scenarios in Western Australia for the year 2030. Household PV capacity generally substitutes utility PV, but slightly less so as additional household batteries are installed. Wind power is less affected, especially in scenarios with higher shares of renewables. With household batteries operating to maximise self-consumption, utility battery capacities are hardly substituted. Wholesale prices to supply households, including those not engaging in prosumage, slightly decrease, while prices for other consumers slightly increase. We conclude that the growth of prosumage has implications on the various elements of the power sector and should be more thoroughly considered by investors, regulators, and power sector planners.

description: Theodore Cicero, Ph.D. was the innovator of the first post-marketing drug abuse surveillance program imposed by the FDA as a condition for the approval of tramadol in 1992. He served as the chairman of the advisory board which was charged with developing a comprehensive surveillance project that would detect abuse of tramadol in a timely fashion with a geographic precision down to the 5 digit postal zip code. This program evolved over time and has now emerged as one element of a much larger risk-management program: RADARS (Researched Abuse, Diversion and Addiction-Related Surveillance). From 1985-1988, Dr. Cicero also documented that paternal administration of opioids and/or alcohol influenced the development and maturation of their offspring. The only explanation for this phenomenon was that the function of sperm had in some way been affected. The most obvious possibility was that the expression of genes was affected in some way, and this was postulated by his group in 1988. Fifteen years later, it has been shown in several landmark studies that environmental toxins and drugs influence the methylation of DNA, a process which influences gene expression. This launched the new field of “epigenetics” and Dr. Cicero’s research in the late 1980s is uniformly cited as the original observations documenting epigenetic processes. He is presently actively re-engaging in this research and exploring the molecular genetics of this phenomenon.

title: Molecular analysis of the eggshell and cuticle surface of the potato cyst nematode, Globodera rostochiensis
Creators: name: Price, James A.
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: Plant-parasitic nematodes regulate their interactions with the external environment and their host. The surface of the nematodes, whether the cuticle or the eggshell, plays a key role in this process. Work undertaken in this project aimed to exploit new genome resources for potato cyst nematodes (PCN) to allow characterisation of these structures. The eggshell is a key survival structure for PCN. Hatching of juvenile potato cyst nematodes occurs in response to host derived hatching factors. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms that underpin hatching in response to these host diffusates and nothing is known about the molecular composition of the PCN eggshell. Methods that allow extraction of proteins and lipids from large numbers of isolated PCN eggshells were developed. These extraction techniques permitted identification of a range of proteins present in the eggshell, including chondroitin proteoglycans and a calcium dependent phospholipid-binding annexin. The annexin was focused on due to the apparent major role of calcium in PCN hatching. This annexin was localised to the eggshells of Globodera rostochiensis by immunofluorescence. To our knowledge, this makes the annexin the first eggshell protein to be identified and localised in any plant-parasitic nematode. The annexin was shown to bind to phospholipids and RNAi of the annexin showed that reducing expression of the eggshell annexin alters nematode hatching patterns in response to host hatching factors. The eggshell permeability barrier is essential for the development of a juvenile within the embryo. Eggshell lipid analysis has given insight into components of the permeability barrier. Identified lipid species highlight potential function within the nematode hatching cascade through calcium interaction or down stream signalling. Attempts to identify the presence of nematode specific glycolipids, ascarosides, within the PCN eggshell showed that ascarosides or ascarylose were not detectable within PCN eggs, cysts or juveniles. It has previously been shown that the infective juveniles are able to alter their surface composition to avoid damage from host defence mechanisms. Here, methods that allow labelling of proteins present on the cuticle surface of PCN were developed. Three proteins; Galectin-5, Cri-2 and a nematode specific hypothetical protein that are present on the surface of PCN second stage juveniles were further investigated. These proteins were tested for their potential to suppress host defences through a variety of protein-small molecule interactions. This analysis showed that surface coat associated galectins could offer protection to an invasive juvenile through sequestering cell wall breakdown products, silencing detection of the pathogen.

description: A folded disk is bistable, as it can be popped through to an inverted state with elastic energy localized in a small, highly-deformed region on the fold. Cutting out this singularity relaxes the surrounding material and leads to a loss of bistability when the hole dimensions reach a critical size. These dimensions are strongly anisotropic and feature a surprising re-entrant behavior, such that removal of additional material can re-stabilize the inverted state. A model of the surface as a wide annular developable strip is found to capture the qualitative observations in experiments and simulations. These phenomena are consequential to the mechanics and design of crumpled elastic sheets, developable surfaces, origami and kirigami, and other deployable and compliant structures.

The Underlying Event in Hard Interactions at the Tevatron pbarp Collider

description: For comparison of inclusive jet cross sections measured at hadron-hadron colliders to next-to-leading order (NLO) parton-level calculations, the energy deposited in the jet cone by spectator parton interactions must first be subtracted. The assumption made at the Tevatron is that the spectator parton interaction energy is similar to the ambient level measured in minimum bias events. In this paper, we test this assumption by measuring the ambient charged track momentum in events containing large transverse energy jets at $\sqrt{s}=1800$ GeV and $\sqrt{s}=630$ GeV and comparing this ambient momentum with that observed both in minimum bias events and with that predicted by two Monte Carlo models. Two cones in $η$--$ϕ$ space are defined, at the same pseudo-rapidity, $η$, as the jet with the highest transverse energy ($E_T^{(1)}$), and at $\pm 90^o$ in the azimuthal direction, $ϕ$. The total charged track momentum inside each of the two cones is measured. The minimum momentum in the two cones is almost independent of $E_T^{(1)}$ and is similar to the momentum observed in minimum bias events, whereas the maximum momentum increases roughly linearly with the jet $E_T^{(1)}$ over most of the measured range. This study will help improve the precision of comparisons of jet cross section data and NLO perturbative QCD predictions. %this is new The distribution of the sum of the track momenta in the two cones is also examined for five different $E_T^{(1)}$ bins. The HERWIG and PYTHIA Monte Carlos are reasonably successful in describing the data, but neither can describe completely all of the event properties.

description: Resonances, or scattering poles, are complex numbers which mathematically describe meta-stable states: the real part of a resonance gives the rest energy, and its imaginary part, the rate of decay of a meta-stable state. This description emphasizes the quantum mechanical aspects of this concept but similar models appear in many branches of physics, chemistry and mathematics, from molecular dynamics to automorphic forms. In this article we will will describe the recent progress in the study of resonances based on the theory of partial differential equations.

description: Mutually orthogonal complementary sets (MOCSs) have received significant research attention in recent years due to their wide applications in communications and radar. Existing MOCSs which are constructed based on generalized Boolean functions (GBFs) mostly have lengths of power-of-two. How to construct MOCSs with non-power-of-two lengths whilst having large set sizes is a largely open problem. With the aid of GBFs, in this paper, we present new constructions of such MOCSs and show that the maximal achievable set size is $1/2$ of the flock size of an MOCS.

description: We investigated the abundance ratio of $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C in planetary nebulae by examining emission lines arising from \ion{C}{3} $2s2p ^3P_{2,1,0} \to 2s^2 ^1S_0$. Spectra were retrieved from the International Ultraviolet Explorer archives, and multiple spectra of the same object were coadded to achieve improved signal-to-noise. The $^{13}$C hyperfine structure line at 1909.6 Åwas detected in NGC 2440. The $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C ratio was found to be $\sim4.4\pm$1.2. In all other objects, we provide an upper limit for the flux of the 1910 Åline. For 23 of these sources, a lower limit for the $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C ratio was established. The impact on our current understanding of stellar evolution is discussed. The resulting high signal-to-noise \ion{C}{3} spectrum helps constrain the atomic physics of the line formation process. Some objects have the measured 1907/1909 flux ratio outside the low-electron density theoretical limit for $^{12}$C. A mixture of $^{13}$C with $^{12}$C helps to close the gap somewhat. Nevertheless, some observed 1907/1909 flux ratios still appear too high to conform to the presently predicted limits. It is shown that this limit, as well as the 1910/1909 flux ratio, are predominantly influenced by using the standard partitioning among the collision strengths for the multiplet $^1S_0$--$^3P_J$ according to the statistical weights. A detailed calculation for the fine structure collision strengths between these individual levels would be valuable.

description: We use hydrodynamic equations to study sound propagation in a superfluid Fermi gas inside a strongly elongated cigar-shaped trap, with main attention to the transition from the BCS to the unitary regime. We treat first the role of the radial density profile in the quasi-onedimensional limit and then evaluate numerically the effect of the axial confinement in a configuration in which a hole is present in the gas density at the center of the trap. We find that in a strongly elongated trap the speed of sound in both the BCS and the unitary regime differs by a factor sqrt{3/5} from that in a homogeneous three-dimensional superfluid. The predictions of the theory could be tested by measurements of sound-wave propagation in a set-up such as that exploited by M.R. Andrews et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 553 (1997)] for an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate.

description: A projective symmetry group (PSG) has been regarded as a classification theory of spin liquids. However, it does not include a symmetry-protected topological order of fermionic spinon excitations, and thus the classification of gapped spin liquids is incomplete. We demonstrate the classification beyond PSG by utilizing the Kitaev model on the squareoctagon lattice, where two gapped spin liquids are distinguished by a topological $Z_2$ invariant. This $Z_2$ invariant can be defined solely by the time-reversal and translation symmetries on condition that the time-reversal symmetry is implemented projectively. Thus, it is a hidden class of topological Kitaev spin liquids with helical edge states, which has been ignored for a long time. This suggests that there exists an unknown classification scheme of gapped spin liquids beyond PSG.

description: The metal-insulator transition of the Magneli phase Ti4O7 is studied by means of augmented spherical wave (ASW) electronic structure calculations as based on density functional theory and the local density approximation. The results show that the metal-insulator transition arises from a complex interplay of charge order, orbital order, and singlet formation of those Ti 3d states which mediate metal-metal bonding inside the four-atom chains characteristic of the material. Ti4O7 thus combines important aspects of Fe3O4 and VO2. While the charge ordering closely resembles that observed at the Verwey transition, the orbital order and singlet formation appear to be identical to the mechanisms driving the metal-insulator transition of vanadium dioxide.

description: “Education in the 21st Century” pedagogical journal is the result of the tremendous efforts and activities of its founder-YSU Center of Pedagogy and Education Development and scientist-pedagogues who are really interested in problems of modern education, philosophy of pedagogy, as well as the requirements of the time. The pedagogical journal has set itself a high goal: to promote the development of education and pedagogical thought, closely cooperating with eminent scholars and educators from various prominent universities in foreign countries. Clear evidence of this is the presence of 7 famous doctors, professors from 5 foreign countries as editorial board members of the first volume of the journal and active correspondence of 14 academic pedagogues from 7 countries. We are confident that this cooperation will be permanent and effective. The international scientific methodological journal “Education in the 21st Century” will highlight and comprehensively reflect all the problems facing education and pedagogy in Armenia and other countries, based on the provisions of international educational processes and considering national peculiarities while applying them.
Effects of filling, strain, and electric field on the Néel vector in antiferromagnetic CrSb

description: CrSb is a layered antiferromagnet (AFM) with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, a high Néel temperature, and large spin-orbit coupling (SOC), which makes it interesting for AFM spintronic applications. To elucidate the various mechanisms of Néel vector control, the effects of strain, band filling, and electric field on the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of bulk and thin-film CrSb are determined and analysed using density functional theory. The MAE of the bulk crystal is large (1.2 meV per unit cell). Due to the significant ionic nature of the Cr-Sb bond, finite slabs are strongly affected by end termination. Truncation of the bulk crystal to a thin film with one surface terminated with Cr and the other surface terminated with Sb breaks inversion symmetry, creates a large charge dipole and average electric field across the film, and breaks spin degeneracy, such that the thin film becomes a ferrimagnet. The MAE is reduced such that its sign can be switched with realistic strain, and the large SOC gives rise to an intrinsic voltage controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA). A slab terminated on both faces with Cr remains a compensated AFM, but with the compensation occurring nonlocally between mirror symmetric Cr pairs. In-plane alignment of the moments is preferred, the magnitude of the MAE remains large, similar to that of the bulk, and it is relatively insensitive to filling.

description: The first string of the neoteric high energy neutrino telescope IceCube successfully began operating in January 2005. It is anticipated that upon completion the new detector will vastly increase the sensitivity and extend the reach of AMANDA to higher energies. A discussion of the IceCube's discovery potential for extra-terrestrial neutrinos, together with the prospects of new physics derived from the ongoing AMANDA research will be the focus of this paper. Preliminary results of the first antarctic high energy neutrino telescope AMANDA searching in the muon neutrino channel for localized and diffuse excess of extra-terrestrial neutrinos will be reviewed using data collected between 2000 and 2003. Neutrino flux limits obtained with the all-flavor dedicated UHE and cascade analyses will be described. A first neutrino spectrum above one TeV in agreement with atmospheric neutrino flux expectations and no extra-terrestrial contribution will be presented, followed by a discussion of a limit for neutralino CDM candidates annihilating in the center of the Sun.

Energetics of Protein Thermodynamic Cooperativity: Contributions of Local and Nonlocal Interactions

description: The respective roles of local and nonlocal interactions in the thermodynamic cooperativity of proteins are investigated using continuum (off-lattice) native-centric Gō-like models with a coarse-grained C$_α$ chain representation. We study a series of models in which the (local) bond- and torsion-angle terms have different strengths relative to the (nonlocal) pairwise contact energy terms. Conformational distributions in these models are sampled by Langevin dynamics. Thermodynamic cooperativity is characterized by the experimental criteria requiring the van't Hoff to calorimetric enthalpy ratio $ΔH_{\rm vH}/ΔH_{\rm cal}\approx 1$ (the calorimetric criterion), as well as a two-state-like variation of the average radius of gyration upon denaturation. We find that both local and nonlocal interactions are critical for thermodynamic cooperativity. Chain models with either much weakened local conformational propensities or much weakened favorable nonlocal interactions are significantly less cooperative than chain models with both strong local propensities and strong favorable nonlocal interactions. These findings are compared with results from a recently proposed lattice model with a local-nonlocal coupling mechanism; their relationship with experimental measurements of protein cooperativity and chain compactness is discussed.

First Nations parent involvement in the public school system : the personal journey of a school principal
Creators: name: Pearson, Christina Joanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to determine what factors are needed to guide the practice of non-Native educators to build a positive working relationship between a First Nations community and an elementary public school as well as encourage and support parent involvement. An elementary school in Powell River, British Columbia and the local First Nation were purported to have a good working relationship that had resulted in increased parent involvement. I wanted to determine what factors were contributing to the good relationship, and how these factors could be used in other settings to improve First Nations parent involvement. I conducted a qualitative case study of James Thomson elementary school, and Sliammon First Nation. The research methods included semi-structured interviews, group meetings and an examination of planning documents. A First Nations committee was formed, the Ho ho jo thot group, that became my guide and conscience throughout the study. Through narrative writing I experienced a personal journey of reflexive thought about my own relationship to First Nations people. The findings of this research clearly indicated that James Thomson Elementary and the Sliammon First Nation, had a good relationship that was based on four factors: making an effort; knowing the people; being welcoming, and being respectful. The research also indicated there was increased First Nations parent involvement but not as much as educators and parents wanted. When asked what discouraged involvement, the parents and educators identified the barriers to be: history; economics; racism; lack of skills; lack of school support, and traditional differences. When asked what factors they believed would increase parent involvement they said: personal contact by staff; family networks; non-threatening activities; teachers being more 'aware', and a school plan. What this study has contributed to the literature is in both theory and practice. First, it contributes a respectful process for a non-Native person to work with a First Nations community. The Ho ho jo thot group, was my guide and conscience who gave me advice and approval at each stage of the study. Second, this study provides new ways of thinking about involving First Nations parents in the public school system that causes educators to have personal insights and philosophical thoughts instead of 'techniques.' Finally, this study contributes a Handbook to be used by public school educators to improve First Nations parent involvement, that is based on a framework of understanding Aboriginal knowledge, having personal critical awareness, and working with purposefulness.

description: We present here the sensitivity of the SABRE (Sodium iodide with Active Background REjection) experiment to benchmark proto-philic, spin dependent, Inelastic Dark Matter models previously proposed due to their lowered tension with existing experimental results. We perform fits to cross section, mass, and mass splitting values to find the best fit to DAMA/LIBRA data for these models. In this analysis, we consider the Standard Halo Model (SHM), as well as an interesting extension upon it, the SHM+Stream distribution, to investigate the influence of the Dark Matter velocity distribution upon experimental sensitivity and whether or not its consideration may be able to help relieve the present experimental tension. Based on our analysis, SABRE should be sensitive to all the three benchmark models within 3-5 years of data taking.
