description: We study two observables related to the anomalous breaking of scale invariance in a dilute two dimensional Fermi gas, the frequency shift and damping rate of the monopole mode in a harmonic confinement potential. For this purpose we compute the speed of sound and the bulk viscosity of the two dimensional gas in the high temperature limit. We show that the anomaly in the speed of sound scales as $(2P-ρc_s^2)/P\sim z/[\log(T/E_B)]^2$, and that the bulk viscosity $ζ$ scales as $ζ/η\sim z^2/[\log(T/E_B)]^6$. Here, $P$ is the pressure, $c_s^2$ is the speed of sound, $η$ is the shear viscosity, $z$ is the fugacity, and $E_B$ is the two-body binding energy. We show that our results are consistent with the experimental results of Vogt et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 070404 (2012)]. Vogt et al. reported a frequency shift $δω/ω$ of the order of a few percent, and a damping rate smaller than the background rate $Γ/ω_0\sim 5%$.

description: The S66 non-covalent interactions are studied through localized coupled-cluster methods and general LNO-CCSD(T)-based composite schemes. Very small RMS deviations (\leq 0.05 kcal/mol) for the low-cost composite approaches from the SILVER reference interaction energies of S66 indicate that we can safely avoid carrying out the largest basis set calculations with veryVeryTight thresholds, and apply instead additivity corrections in smaller basis sets. Interestingly, the counterpoise corrections do not have an appreciable effect on the composite schemes. These findings may prove useful for intermolecular and intramolecular NCIs of larger systems.

description: The spherometer used for measuring radius of curvature of spherical surfaces is explicitly based on a geometric relation unique to circles and spheres. We present an alternate approach using coordinate geometry, which reproduces the well-known result for the spherometer and also leads to a scheme to study aspherical surfaces. We shall also briefly describe some of the modified spherometers.

description: We introduce the bosonic and fermionic ensembles of density matrices and study their entanglement. In the fermionic case, we show that random bipartite fermionic density matrices have non-positive partial transposition, hence they are typically entangled. The similar analysis in the bosonic case is more delicate, due to a large positive outlier eigenvalue. We compute the asymptotic ratio between the size of the environment and the size of the system Hilbert space for which random bipartite bosonic density matrices fail the PPT criterion, being thus entangled. We also relate moment computations for tensor-symmetric random matrices to evaluations of the circuit-counting and interlace graph polynomials for directed graphs.

description: In this paper we examine the evolution of solutions, that initially have compact support, of a recently-derived system of cross-coupled Camassa-Holm equations. The analytical methods which we employ provide a full picture for the persistence of compact support for the momenta. For solutions of the system itself, the answer is more convoluted, and we determine when the compactness of the support is lost, replaced instead by an exponential decay rate.

description: We present a scheme for quantum randomness certification based on quantum steering. The protocol is one-sided device independent, providing high security, but requires only states and measurements that are simple to realise on quantum optics platforms - entangled squeezed vacuum states and homodyne detection. This ease of implementation is demonstrated by certifying randomness in existing experimental data and implies that giga-hertz random bit rates should be attainable with current technology. Furthermore, the steering-based setting represents the closest to full device independence that can be achieved using purely Gaussian states and measurements.

description: We study the mass-radius relation and the second Love number of compact objects made of ordinary matter and non-selfannihilating fermionic dark matter for a wide range of dark matter particle masses, and for the cases of weakly and strongly interacting dark matter. We obtain stable configurations of compact objects with radii smaller than 10 km and masses similar to Earth- or Jupiter-like stellar objects. In certain parameter ranges we find second Love numbers which are markedly different compared to those expected for neutron stars without dark matter. Thus, by obtaining the compactness of these compact objects and measuring their tidal deformability from gravitational wave detections from binary neutron star mergers, the extracted value of second Love number would allow to determine the existence of dark matter inside neutron stars irrespective of the equation of state of ordinary matter.

Mathematical modeling of tumor progression and chemotherapy regimens
Creators: name: Miranda Santana, Leonardo
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Despite all important advances in the treatment of cancer over the last decades, preventing disease recurrence remains a challenge. Resistance of tumors to chemotherapy can be caused not only by selection of drug-resistant clones over the course of treatment, but also by the presence of tumor foci that are in a dormant state and are not targeted/killed by DNA-damaging agents. Such dormant tumor foci can eventually transition to a state of active growth, causing disease recurrence. In this thesis, we propose a stochastic model to describe recurrence of generic tumors, in which tumor foci can transition between a chemoresistant dormant state and a chemosensitive state of active growth. We develop a framework to determine the time-dependent probability that an undetectable residual tumor will become large enough to be detectable, and model the effect of chemotherapy on recurrence by switching the death rate of active tumor foci at the treatment time cap. We fit our model to data from a clinical trial for maintenance chemotherapy with the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib in ovarian cancer, and use parameters from the fits to predict recurrence-free survival when chemotherapy dosage or duration are increased. In this context, we also investigate how recurrence and cure are affected by transition rates between dormant and active states within the tumor, and predict how the effectiveness of increasing chemotherapy dosage or duration for improving long-term recurrence-free survival depends on these rates. Our results should be useful in planning optimized chemotherapy dosage and duration for cancer treatment, especially in cancer types for which no targeted therapy is available.

description: Radio access network (RAN) technologies continue to evolve, with Open RAN gaining the most recent momentum. In the O-RAN specifications, the RAN intelligent controllers (RICs) are software-defined orchestration and automation functions for the intelligent management of RAN. This article introduces principles for machine learning (ML), in particular, reinforcement learning (RL) applications in the O-RAN stack. Furthermore, we review the state-of-the-art research in wireless networks and cast it onto the RAN framework and the hierarchy of the O-RAN architecture. We provide a taxonomy for the challenges faced by ML/RL models throughout the development life-cycle: from the system specification to production deployment (data acquisition, model design, testing and management, etc.). To address the challenges, we integrate a set of existing MLOps principles with unique characteristics when RL agents are considered. This paper discusses a systematic model development, testing and validation life-cycle, termed: RLOps. We discuss fundamental parts of RLOps, which include: model specification, development, production environment serving, operations monitoring and safety/security. Based on these principles, we propose the best practices for RLOps to achieve an automated and reproducible model development process. At last, a holistic data analytics platform rooted in the O-RAN deployment is designed and implemented, aiming to embrace and fulfil the aforementioned principles and best practices of RLOps.

description: Over the last 20 years, technological changes in the workplace have placed considerable pressure on the U.S. educational system to adequately prepare students for occupations that increasingly require specific skills. However, certain educators and policy-makers have raised the question of whether vocational education at the high school level, with its focus on immediately entering the workforce after high school, adequately prepares students for college. At the postsecondary level, the debate has centered on whether vocational education restricts access to a four-year college, which may hamper future earnings. This report estimates the returns to a sub-baccalaureate education. The analyses emphasize the effect of a student's program of study, the amount of schooling accumulated with and without attaining a degree, and the type of credential earned. We test whether the earnings of degree attainers are significantly larger than those of similar students with the same amount of postsecondary education but no credential. We also examine whether economic gains from occupational education are realized not only for students who concentrated on vocational education in high school but also for special subpopulations such as older students, racial-ethnic minorities, and academically or economically disadvantaged students.

description: The two types of the woman characters one can generally find within
the confines of the chivalric novel are the "damsel in distress," that
virginal maiden in need of the knight's prowess to save her from a fate
worse than death, and the enchantress, a Circe-like character who
seduces the knight and keeps him subject indefinitely through her
magic powers. Although Boiardo 's Orlando Innamorato contains its
share of these familiar female fictions, its treatment of women is certainly
unique and shows a notable departure from the treatment of
women and their roles in earlier chivalric novels.'

description: This paper proposed software architecture for operating an automatic semiconductor manufacturing machine. Recent machines for semiconductor process are required for high level of automation which are composed of motion control, machine vision, data acquisition and networking. These functions are executed through industrial equipments that are generally installed in a computer. The equipments occupy a great part of system resource and generate a lot of computation, so the software structure should be designed for efficiency. The proposed architecture is consisted of four layers and virtual equipments(VEs). The VEs are made by subclassing the physical equipments(PEs) and the layers are coded into thread which updates the status of VEs. Subroutines in a program refer to the pointer of VEs, and direct access to physical equipment are prohibited. The number of access (NOA) to PEs in typical industrial application was simulated for the unlimited access structure and the presented structure. The result showed that the proposed structure was more efficient than typical ones and irrespective of subroutines. This architecture was also applied to design a machine operating software and performed automatic wafer dicing.

description: We present a new strictification method for type-theoretic structures that are only weakly stable under substitution. Given weakly stable structures over some model of type theory, we construct equivalent strictly stable structures by evaluating the weakly stable structures at generic contexts. These generic contexts are specified using the categorical notion of familial representability. This generalizes the local universes method of Lumsdaine and Warren. We show that generic contexts can also be constructed in any category with families which is freely generated by collections of types and terms, without any definitional equality. This relies on the fact that they support first-order unification. These free models can only be equipped with weak type-theoretic structures, whose computation rules are given by typal equalities. Our main result is that any model of type theory with weakly stable weak type-theoretic structures admits an equivalent model with strictly stable weak type-theoretic structures.

description: The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of and modifiable risk factors for post intubation hemodynamic collapse in prehospital and interfacility critical care transport. Single center retrospective chart review of adult patients (≥18 years) intubated by a critical care transport team between January 2017 and May 2023. The primary outcome was incidence of hemodynamic collapse (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg for greater than 30 min, new vasopressor requirement, vasopressor dose increase, fluid bolus of >15 mL/kg, systolic blood pressure <65 mmHg at least once, or cardiac arrest). Secondary outcomes included post intubation hypoxia, as well as association of hemodynamic collapse with potentially modifiable risk factors including pre intubation shock index, pre intubation heart rate, pre intubation systolic blood pressure, and induction agent. Three hundred and thirty-three patients were included. Ninety-seven (29.1%) patients experienced hemodynamic collapse and 36 (10.8%) of patients experienced life threatening hemodynamic collapse. Pre intubation shock index >1 (OR 3.18, 95% CI 1.15–8.74) was associated with post intubation hemodynamic collapse. Choice of induction agent, fluid bolus prior to intubation, location of intubation, presence of traumatic injury, and age were not correlated with risk of hemodynamic collapse. The number of intubation attempts and methods of intubation were similar between groups. Hemodynamic collapse and life-threatening hemodynamic collapse after intubation occurred frequently in this critical care transport cohort. Shock index greater than one was associated with significantly higher risk of hemodynamic collapse and life-threatening hemodynamic collapse.

description: Cyber deception is emerging as a promising approach to defending networks and systems against attackers and data thieves. However, despite being relatively cheap to deploy, the generation of realistic content at scale is very costly, due to the fact that rich, interactive deceptive technologies are largely hand-crafted. With recent improvements in Machine Learning, we now have the opportunity to bring scale and automation to the creation of realistic and enticing simulated content. In this work, we propose a framework to automate the generation of email and instant messaging-style group communications at scale. Such messaging platforms within organisations contain a lot of valuable information inside private communications and document attachments, making them an enticing target for an adversary. We address two key aspects of simulating this type of system: modelling when and with whom participants communicate, and generating topical, multi-party text to populate simulated conversation threads. We present the LogNormMix-Net Temporal Point Process as an approach to the first of these, building upon the intensity-free modeling approach of Shchur et al. to create a generative model for unicast and multi-cast communications. We demonstrate the use of fine-tuned, pre-trained language models to generate convincing multi-party conversation threads. A live email server is simulated by uniting our LogNormMix-Net TPP (to generate the communication timestamp, sender and recipients) with the language model, which generates the contents of the multi-party email threads. We evaluate the generated content with respect to a number of realism-based properties, that encourage a model to learn to generate content that will engage the attention of an adversary to achieve a deception outcome.

With over 160 targets observed to date (and almost 100 host detections, most of which have not previously been reported in the literature) our effort represents the broadest GRB host survey to date. While targeting was heterogeneous, our observations span the known diversity of GRBs including short bursts, long bursts, spectrally soft GRBs (XRFs), ultra-energetic GRBs, X-ray faint GRBs, dark GRBs, SN-GRBs, and other sub-classes. We also present a preview of our database (currently available online via a convenient web interface) including a catalog of multi-color photometry, redshifts and line ID's. Final photometry and reduced imaging and spectra will be available in the near future.

Community colleges

description: Community colleges are a crucial point of access to higher education for low-income, minority, and other underserved students. Indeed, these groups are overrepresented (with respect to their share of undergraduate enrollment) in two-year and less-than-two-year postsecondary institutions. The community college access mission is built on low tuition, convenient location, flexible scheduling, an open-door admissions policy, and programs and services designed to support students who may have various socio-economic and academic barriers inhibiting postsecondary success. If community colleges—or similar institutions—were not available, many of these students would not have an opportunity to attend higher education. While access to community colleges is an important first step for a wide variety of students, they must also be successful after they have enrolled. Unfortunately, many students never finish a degree. For example, only 36 percent of students who enrolled in a community college as their first postsecondary enrollment in the 1995-96 school year had completed a certificate, associate, or bachelor’s degree within six years. Low-income, minority, and first-generation college students all have even lower six-year completion rates. Although many students can benefit from a community college education even if they do not complete a degree or certificate, community college faculty and administrators would all like to see completion rates rise. This report is part of a broad initiative funded by the Lumina Foundation for Education. The initiative, Achieving the Dream: Community Colleges Count, will initially work with 27 community colleges in five states to help them increase retention, completion, and success for low-income students, students of color, first-generation college students, and other underserved groups.

description: We discover that the very low-mass brown dwarf OTS44 (M9.5, ~12 M_Jup) has significant accretion and a substantial disk, which demonstrates that the processes that accompany canonical star formation occur down to a central mass of a few Jupiter masses. We discover in VLT/SINFONI spectra that OTS44 has strong, broad, and variable Paschen beta emission that is evidence for active accretion at the planetary border. We also detect strong Halpha emission of OTS44 in a literature spectrum and determine an Halpha EW (-141 A) that is indicative of active accretion. Both the Pa beta and Halpha emission lines have broad profiles with wings extending to velocities of about +/-200 km/s. We determine the mass accretion rate of OTS44 based on Halpha to 7.6x10^{-12} Msun/yr, which shows that OTS44 has a relatively high mass-accretion rate considering its small central mass. This mass rate is nevertheless consistent with the general decreasing trend found for stars of several solar masses down to brown dwarfs. Furthermore, we determine the properties of the disk surrounding OTS44 through radiative transfer modeling of flux measurement from the optical to the far-IR (Herschel) by applying a Bayesian analysis. We find that OTS44 has a highly flared disk (beta >1.2) with a mass of 9.1x10^{-5} M_Sun, i.e. about 0.1 M_Jup or 30 M_Earth. We show that the ratio of disk-to-central-mass of about 10^{-2} found for objects between 0.03 Msun and 14 Msun is also valid for OTS44 at a mass of ~0.01 M_Sun. Our observations are in line with an isolated star-like mode of the formation of brown dwarfs down to 0.01 M_Sun.

description: Elder mistreatment (EM), encompassing abuse and neglect, is a significant public health issue, affecting up to 10% of community-dwelling older adults annually. Elder mistreatment is a growing concern with a higher prevalence in institutional settings and substantial associated healthcare costs. Prehospital clinicians (PHCs) such as emergency medical technicians and paramedics are uniquely positioned to detect and report EM during their interactions with older adults in their homes. The objective of the study is to describe the rate and characteristics of EM documented by PHCs using the National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) database. This study analyzed data from NEMSIS, which includes standardized information about PHC emergency response encounters across the United States. In 2018, 22,532,890 activations were included from 9,599 agencies in 43 states and US territories. Elder mistreatment was identified using specific International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes related to EM. Demographic data, injury location, and associated physical findings were also examined. Out of 9,605,522 EMS encounters for patients aged ≥60, EM was coded in 1,765 encounters (0.02%). Most EM cases were listed as the cause of injury (64%), followed by the clinician’s first impression (25.4%). Physical abuse was the most common type of mistreatment reported (20.8%), followed by sexual abuse (18.2%), neglect (9.7%), and psychological/emotional abuse (0.34%). The median age of patients with documented EM was 72, and 62.3% were female. The most common anatomic locations of injuries were the lower extremities, head, and upper extremities. Despite the high prevalence of EM, PHCs infrequently document EM in their encounters with older adults. Additional training and comprehensive protocols are needed to improve the identification and reporting of EM, mainly elder neglect. Empowering PHCs through education and protocol development can significantly impact the detection and intervention of EM.

It is shown that some macro-econo-physics problem have been also tackled, like geographic/political constraints, the globalization of the economy and country clustering. Moreover, it is daring to suggest prospect for studies and researches, whence presenting some selection of a few interesting perspectives.

description: Recently, the Planck collaboration has released the first cosmological papers providing the high resolution, full sky, maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies. It is crucial to understand that whether the accelerating expansion of our universe at present is driven by an unknown energy component (Dark Energy) or a modification to general relativity (Modified Gravity). In this paper we study the coupled dark energy models, in which the quintessence scalar field nontrivially couples to the cold dark matter, with the strength parameter of interaction $beta$. Using the Planck data alone, we obtain that the strength of interaction between dark sectors is constrained as $beta < 0.102$ at $95%$ confidence level, which is tighter than that from the WMAP9 data alone. Combining the Planck data with other probes, like the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO), Type-Ia supernovae ``Union2.1 compilation'' and the CMB lensing data from Planck measurement, we find the tight constraint on the strength of interaction $beta < 0.052$ ($95%$ C.L.). Interestingly, we also find a non-zero coupling $beta = 0.078 pm 0.022$ ($68%$ C.L.) when we use the Planck, the ``SNLS'' supernovae samples, and the prior on the Hubble constant from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) together. This evidence for the coupled dark energy models mainly comes from a tension between constraints on the Hubble constant from the Planck measurement and the local direct $H_0$ probes from HST.

This enables 3D perception of an observed scene from a 2D RGB observation, characterized as a lightweight, compact, clean CAD representation. Core to our approach is our differentiable alignment optimization based on dense 2D-3D object correspondences and Procrustes alignment. ROCA can thus provide a robust CAD alignment while simultaneously informing CAD retrieval by leveraging the 2D-3D correspondences to learn geometrically similar CAD models. Experiments on challenging, real-world imagery from ScanNet show that ROCA significantly improves on state of the art, from 9.5% to 17.6% in retrieval-aware CAD alignment accuracy.

description: Elder mistreatment (EM), encompassing abuse and neglect, is a significant public health issue, affecting up to 10% of community-dwelling older adults annually. Elder mistreatment is a growing concern with a higher prevalence in institutional settings and substantial associated healthcare costs. Prehospital clinicians (PHCs) such as emergency medical technicians and paramedics are uniquely positioned to detect and report EM during their interactions with older adults in their homes. The objective of the study is to describe the rate and characteristics of EM documented by PHCs using the National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) database. This study analyzed data from NEMSIS, which includes standardized information about PHC emergency response encounters across the United States. In 2018, 22,532,890 activations were included from 9,599 agencies in 43 states and US territories. Elder mistreatment was identified using specific International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes related to EM. Demographic data, injury location, and associated physical findings were also examined. Out of 9,605,522 EMS encounters for patients aged ≥60, EM was coded in 1,765 encounters (0.02%). Most EM cases were listed as the cause of injury (64%), followed by the clinician’s first impression (25.4%). Physical abuse was the most common type of mistreatment reported (20.8%), followed by sexual abuse (18.2%), neglect (9.7%), and psychological/emotional abuse (0.34%). The median age of patients with documented EM was 72, and 62.3% were female. The most common anatomic locations of injuries were the lower extremities, head, and upper extremities. Despite the high prevalence of EM, PHCs infrequently document EM in their encounters with older adults. Additional training and comprehensive protocols are needed to improve the identification and reporting of EM, mainly elder neglect. Empowering PHCs through education and protocol development can significantly impact the detection and intervention of EM.

description: This deliverable describes the data management life cycle for the data to be collected processed and generated during the VitiGEOSS project. The purpose is to establish how the data will be created, stored and backed-up, who owns it and who is responsible for the different data and which data will be preserved and shared. It will cover, the handling of research data during and after the project, what data will be collected, processed, or generated, what methodology and standards will be applied, whether data will be shared/made open and how and how data will be curated and preserved. The Data Management Plan will be used as a standard data guideline for the project consortium to ensure interoperability and sharing for public data generated by the project. Each project partner should respect the policies set out in the resulting Data Management Plan. Datasets have to be created, managed, and stored appropriately and in line with European Commission and local legislation. Dataset validation and registration of metadata and backing up data for sharing through repositories is the responsibility of the partner that generates the data. The datasets in the repository project will be preserved in line with the European Commission Data Deposit Policy.

description: Lung transplantation remains the only viable treatment option for the majority of patients with advanced lung diseases. However, 5-year post-transplant survival rates remain low primarily secondary to chronic rejection. Novel insights from global gene expression profiles may provide molecular phenotypes and therapeutic targets to improve outcomes after lung transplantation. We showed the presence of a significant number of dysregulated genes, particularly those genes involved in pathways and biological processes such as immune response and defense, in the PBMCs derived from a cohort of patients after lung transplantation. The contribution of miRNAs in regulating these differential genes was also demonstrated.

description: Recently Dragan and Ekert [New. J. Phys 22, 033038, 2020] presented arguments that probabilistic dynamics inherent in the realm of quantum physics is related to the propagation of superluminal particles. Moreover they argue that existence of such particles is a natural consequence of the principle of relativity. We show that the proposed extension of Lorentz transformation can be interpreted in natural way without invoking superluminal phenomena.

Finite size effects in hadron-quark phase transition by the Dyson-Schwinger method

description: We study the hadron-quark phase transition, taking into account the finite-size effects for neutron star matter. For the hadron phase, we adopt a realistic equation of state within the framework of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory. For the quark phase, we apply the Dyson-Schwinger method. The properties of the mixed phase are clarified by considering the finite-size effects. We find that, if the surface tension is strong enough, the equation of state becomes to be close the one with the Maxwell condition, though we properly adopt the Gibbs conditions. This result is qualitatively the same with the one by the use of the simple bag model. We also find that the mass-radius relation by the EoS is consistent with the observations of massive neutron stars.

description: During the task T3.5 “Services/platform integration” the various Lynx microservices developed in WP1 and WP3 have been integrated together in order to provide a single and coherent REST interface. This deliverable, D3.10, ends T3.5 and represents its final product, the platform prototype, whose REST API is documented at the following webpage: https://lynx-project.eu/doc/api/. Section 2 of this document describes some reusable specification and patterns used in Lynx architecture and which could be easily adopted in other projects sharing some requirements with this project. The main ones are the Microservice architectural pattern, the REST architectural style, the API gateway pattern, the Lynx Document data model and the Lynx enrichment interface. Section 3 presents the REST API documentation of the platform prototype, also describing the authorization rules that regulate the access to it. Finally, section 4 describes the two portals that have been enabled by Lynx technologies to provide citizens an open access to European legislation from a single access point.

description: We give a short review on the static and dynamical Casimir effects, recalling their historical prediction, as well as their more recent experimental verification. We emphasise on the central role played by so-called {\it dynamical boundary conditions} (for which the boundary condition depends on a second time derivative of the field) in the experimental verification of the dynamical Casimir effect by Wilson et al. We then go on to review our previous work on the static Casimir effect with dynamical boundary conditions, providing an overview on how to compute the so-called local Casimir energy, the total Casimir energy and the Casimir force. We give as a future perspective the direction in which this work should be generalised to put the theoretical predictions of the dynamical Casimir effect experiments on a rigorous footing.

description: This deliverable constitutes the results on the Lynx use case development for geothermal energy (GTE). Section 1 provides a brief introduction of the geothermal energy context which is used as a proxy for trends and future needs of multiple emerging alternative sustainable energy resources. The grand view that underpins this use case is the applicability of emerging semantic technologies (knowledge graphs) for sustainable energy alternatives as they are subject to accelerated or even a transformative future growth. During this transformation, friction in access to relevant regulatory information can cause delays (or require breakthroughs) which can be solved by the use of knowledge graph technology. Section 2 describes the use case and the progress made in engaging with the industry to learn if problems / issues are recognized and how they can be subject to this use case. It further elaborates on plausible user journeys and mock-ups of screen design that show how Lynx services can interact with the end-user. Section 3 describes the pilot architecture and the current system in place. This section mainly talks about the front-end stack and the backend integration with the Lynx services. In this section the ‘final’ pilot is presented. Section 4 describes a reflection on the development in terms of ‘learning and recommendation’.

description: Advances in computing technology have allowed researchers across many fields of endeavor to collect and maintain vast amounts of observational statistical data such as clinical data, biological patient data, data regarding access of web sites, financial data, and the like. This paper addresses some of the challenging issues on brain magnetic resonance (MR) image tumor segmentation caused by the weak correlation between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) intensity and anatomical meaning. With the objective of utilizing more meaningful information to improve brain tumor segmentation, an approach which employs bilateral symmetry information as an additional feature for segmentation is proposed. This is motivated by potential performance improvement in the general automatic brain tumor segmentation systems which are important for many medical and scientific applications
