description: Visualization of the ocular motor system is an innovative technique to examine the underlying causes of different ocular disorders. Creating three-dimensional (3D) ocular models, including the extraocular muscles and other ocular structures, is one method for ocular system visualization. Effective examination of the different ocular disorders necessitates these 3D models to be developed in a patient-specific manner, using medical imaging techniques to image a patient's ocular structures and laborious post-processing to generate the three-dimensional models. Biomechanical simulators employ these patient-specific models to simulate eye movements such as fixations and saccades in normal or abnormal conditions. Such realistic computational simulation can be helpful to quantitatively study factors contributing to eye movement disorders and effective surgical treatment procedures. Current patient-specific ocular modeling, however, is limited due to the lengthy initial static model creation process. Furthermore, a recognized pipeline to create these static models does not exist. In this thesis, we introduce an automated pipeline to generate patient-specific 3D ocular models that stream-lines and unifies the multi-step model creation process. Several solutions are compared at step to optimize quantitative accuracy to real-world experimental results. The pipeline is implemented as a plugin in Autodesk Maya and seven subject datasets are used to demonstrate modeling fitness. Modeling creation time is drastically reduced, enabling quicker turnaround of ocular visualization and allowing for a broad set of ocular models to be leveraged in the development of biomechanical simulators.

title: Assessing the Orthorectification Accuracy of RPC Sensor Models Using LiDAR Terrain Surface Heights

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Orthorectification
subject: LiDAR terrain
subject: Accuracy assessment
subject: Multi-Spectral Imagery
subject: Commercial satellite MSI
subject: Digital Elevation Model

description: This thesis describes the orthorectification process for commercial satellite Worldview2 Multi-Spectral Imagery (MSI) with a Rational Polynomial Coefficient (RPC) sensor model by using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) raster of terrain heights from Light Distance and Ranging (LiDAR) data. The orthorectification process is presented that uses a LiDAR DEM raster with Ground Sample Distance (GSD) that matches the nearly 0.5 meters nominal GSD of the panchromatic overall spectral brightness, and about 2 meters nominal GSD of each spectral band, for the pixel footprint of the Worldview2 unrectified MSI. It presents a process to encourage adding extra DEM layers such as slope and aspect into the MSI feature extraction process. This study tests a hypothesis to see if the orthorectification process produces adequate registration of the DEM and orthoimage for combined spectral and terrain reasoning, by measuring the offsets between the input DEM and the output orthoimage. The accuracy assessment is directed within an urbanized landscape that contains numerous elevation discontinuities, where the vertical sidewalls of buildings cause cliffs within the terrain surface. Rendering anomalies of feature ghosts from the elevation discontinuities are described along with a suggested solution to the problem. A method also is presented that measures positional inaccuracy between conjugate features within the image of the terrain surface heights and within the initial orthoimage, and then it entails removal of the measured systematic error (shift) within a reproduced orthoimage. This study suggests or provides solutions to identified problems within conventional orthorectification processing regardless of the sensor model. This affirms the alternative hypothesis that the conventional orthorectification process can be adjusted to produce sufficient registration of the DEM and orthoimage for combined spectral and terrain reasoning, if the suggestions from this thesis are implemented.

Subjects: subject: False confession
subject: Interrogation
subject: Wrongful conviction
subject: Vulnerable population

description: False confession research identified two important findings: who is most likely to falsely confess and which interrogation tactics most commonly lead to a false confession. It is generally accepted that false confession evidence is one of the leading causes of wrongful convictions (The Justice Project, 2007; Drizin & Leo, 2004). This study seeks to determine if the defendant’s characteristics identified as being related to giving a false confession also increase the odds of a case ending in wrongful conviction or if crimerelated attributes increase the odds. The sample consists of 122 interrogation-induced false confession cases that span from 1971 to 2002 taken from the dataset published by Dizen and Leo (2004). The study used chi-square analysis and logistic regression, finding that while the literature determines that juveniles are more likely to falsely confess, there is no statistically significant finding suggesting that they are more likely to be convicted once that confession occurs. Whereas having a low mental capacity does significantly increase the odds of a case ending in wrongful conviction. Additionally, cases that contain a co-defendant who also falsely confesses or that have multiple charges increase the odds of a case ending in conviction, while age of the victim and number of victims showed no significant findings.

description: This research proposal introduces a learning assisted modeling technique for the purpose of Hardware Trojan detection. Our proposed model, unlike the prior art, does not require a Golden fabricated chip as a fingerprint to compare the side channel signals. Instead, by modeling the voltage drop and voltage noise pre-fabrication, and with training a Neural Network post-fabrication, our proposed technique can improve the timing model collected during timing closure and produces a Neural assisted Golden Timing Model (NGTM) for side channel delay-signal analysis. The Neural Network acts as a process tracking watchdog for correlating the static timing data (produced at design time) to the delay information obtained from clock frequency sweeping test. Proposed modeling technique enables Hardware Trojan detection close to 90% in the simulated scenarios.

description: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal primary brain cancer characterized by a World Health Organization grade IV tumor classification. Recurrence of this cancer is systemic, and median survival following diagnosis is 15 to 16 months. GBM are considered to have one of the highest levels of clonal heterogeneity, and tumor heterogeneity drives treatment resistance. It is therefore crucial to better understand clonal interactions within the tumor. Using a functional in-vitro model of clonal cooperation developed in our lab, we studied the effects of Apolipoprotein H (ApoH) and STAT3 on the clustering phenotype of U87MG subclones. While STAT3 had no effect on cell clustering, the protein component of ApoH was able to rescue clustering of clones in a serum starved environment. Results correlating Annexin II with cell clustering were inconclusive, but data does suggest that Annexin II may play a role in the clustering phenomenon. Understanding cell-cell communication and cooperation mechanisms within GBM is critical to developing novel therapies. Our results demonstrate that clustering of U87MG subclones is dependent on ApoH, may provide a foundation for regulating clonal interaction in GBM.

description: Access to raw experimental research data and data reuse is a common hurdle in scientific research. Despite the mounting requirements from funding agencies that the raw data is deposited as soon as (or even before) the paper is published, multiple factors often prevent data from being accessed and reused by other researchers.

The situation with human genomic data is even more dramatic, since, on the one hand, it is probably the most important data to share – it lies at the heart of efforts to combat major health issues such as cancer, genetic diseases, and genetic predispositions for complex diseases like heart disease and diabetes. On the other hand, since human genomic data contains sensitive and personal information, it is often exempt from data sharing requirements.

We found out that, on average, researchers use 4-5 genomic data repositories on a regular basis. At the same time, there are many more sources of data available that are often unknown to researchers. We have addressed the most pressing problem for public genomic data, that of data discoverability, by indexing worldwide resources for genomic research data on an online platform (repositive.io) providing a single point of entry to find and access available genomic research data.

In this work, we present the overview of genomic data sources around the world and discuss the potential solutions for improving ethical and efficient data sharing.

The activities of GOBLET are carried out through committees, which have independent but overlapping focus areas. The Learning, Education and Training (LET) Committee primarily focuses on providing resources for bioinformatics trainers.

Here we describe some of the recent activities and resources developed by the LET Committee:	 A set of consensus descriptors for training materials to ensure that materials are consistently described with a minimum, standard amount of information. This brings a strong improvement in discoverability, shareability and traceability of training materials.
 	The development of core competencies together with the ISCB Education Committee, and how these can be used to elaborate bioinformatics curricula and training materials appropriate for different audiences.
 	Our e-learning activities in bioinformatics from the perspective of discoverability of existing e-learning materials and the development of new materials. For these activities we partnered up with other networks and organisations with similar goals.

description: Last Wednesday the U.S. House of Representatives made history. By a vote of 213 to 213, the House declined to support the air bombardment of Serbia initiated by President Clinton and the NATO alliance. Never before has either house of Congress failed to support military action ordered abroad by a President of the United States. House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt offered the resolution of support, believing it would pass easily. When it failed, he chastised House Republicans for partisanship. The White House lightly dismissed the vote as a “tie on standing still” rather than a rebuke of the President. Neither Mr. Gephardt nor the White House mentioned any of the 26 House Democrats who voted against Mr. Gephardt’s resolution. The vote of any one of them was all the President needed. How can this challenge to the Commander-in-Chief be explained? What motivated House members of both parties who voted against the President? What were they thinking?

Subjects: subject: Development

description: This article examines both the theoretical assumptions and expectations, as well as the practical experiences, of empowerment approaches within the field of development aid, with a particular focus their potential for conflict transformation. The authors build upon the recent discourse in development policy that discusses the extent to which development cooperation can effectively contribute towards crisis prevention and conflict transformation. It attempts to analyze and build from three inter-related approaches: The do-no-harm approach which primarily aims to avoid doing more harm than good, and is vitally concerned with the unintended negative impacts of development aid, which too often tends to aggravate conflict rather than contribute to its resolution; the local capacities for peace approach which seeks to identify potential entry points for conflict transformation through development aid, and recommends that external donor agencies should focus on supporting local capacities for peace; and the discourse on peace and conflict impact assessment approach which stresses the need for a thorough analysis of the conflict context. The article examines these approaches through the practical experience of traditional relief and development projects working on complex emergencies in the field of community development. The authors explore the nexus between conflict transformation on the one hand and participatory and empowerment approaches on the other. They critically assess the potential of common empowerment approaches within community building not only to avoid doing harm but also to make a substantive contribution to conflict transformation at the local level. The empirical base of the chapter lies within participatory research and in the experiences of bilateral and multilateral development cooperation in the war-torn areas of Sri Lanka. The authors explore some common participatory and empowerment approaches within the field of community development, as well as constraints, dilemmas and ambivalences for the facilitation of empowerment processes through development aid within complex emergencies. The authors conclude with future prospects on the potentials, constraints and ambivalence of empowerment approaches and recommend a more political role for development aid in complex emergencies as it engages in more inclusive community building through processes of empowerment and recognition

description: Within the Hadoop ecosystem, MapReduce stands as a cornerstone for managing, processing, and mining large-scale datasets. Yet, the absence of efficient solutions for precise estimation of job execution times poses a persistent challenge, impacting task allocation and distribution within Hadoop clusters. In this study, we present a comprehensive machine learning approach for predicting the execution time of MapReduce jobs, encompassing data collection, preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation. Leveraging a rich dataset derived from comprehensive Hadoop MapReduce job traces, we explore the intricate relationship between cluster parameters and job performance. Through a comparative analysis of machine learning models, including linear regression, decision tree, random forest, and gradient-boosted regression trees, we identify the random forest model as the most effective, demonstrating superior predictive accuracy and robustness. Our findings underscore the critical role of features such as data size and resource allocation in determining job performance. With this work, we aim to enhance resource management efficiency and enable more effective utilisation of cloud-based Hadoop clusters for large-scale data processing tasks

description: The acquisition of accurate 3D models of feet is crucial in fields such as chronic foot wound monitoring, prosthetics design, and orthopedic surgery. However, obtaining precise models of patients' feet typically relies on manual measurements, which is both costly and prone to error. Addressing this need, we introduce FootCapture, a mobile application designed to facilitate the acquisition of precise photographic measurements. Our solution employs augmented reality to intuitively guide untrained users to capture comprehensive photographic data from the correct positions and angles, suitable to create a high-fidelity 3D model of the patient's foot using photogrammetry. To validate our application's utility, we compared FootCapture with Apple's Guided Capture application in a user study with n=7 participants. The results showed FootCapture’s intuitive use and high robustness marking it as a tool worth considering for medical personnel.

description: The Southern Ocean is recognized as a potential cause of the lower atmospheric concentration of CO2 during ice ages, but the mechanism is debated. In the ice age Antarctic Zone, biogeochemical paleoproxy data suggest a reduction in the exchange of nutrients (and thus water and carbon) between the surface and the deep ocean. We report simple calculations with those data indicating that the decline in the supply of nutrients during peak glacials was extreme, >50% of the interglacial rate. Weaker wind-driven upwelling is a prime candidate for such a large decline, and new, complementary aspects of this mechanism are identified here. First, reduced upwelling would have resulted in a “slumping” of the pycnocline into the AZ. Second, it would have allowed diapycnal mixing to “mine” nutrients out of the upper water column, possibly causing an even greater slumping of the vertical nutrient gradient (or “nutricline”). These mechanisms would have reduced shallow subsurface nutrient concentrations, decreasing wintertime resupply of nutrients to the surface mixed layer, beyond the reduction in upwelling alone. They would have complemented two changes previously proposed to accompany a decline in upwelling: (1) halocline strengthening and (2) reduced isopycnal mixing in the deep ocean. Together, the above changes would have encouraged declines in the nutrient content and/or the formation rate of new deep water in the AZ, enhancing CO2 storage in the deep ocean.

description: Millennial-scale climate variations during the last glacial period, such as Dansgaard–Oeschger (D/O) cycles and Heinrich events, have been extensively studied using ice core and marine proxy records. However, there is a limited understanding of the magnitude of these temperature fluctuations in continental regions, and questions remain about the seasonal signal of these climate events. This study presents a 60,000-year long temperature reconstruction based on branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) extracted from lake sediments from the Eifel volcanic field, Germany. brGDGTs are bacterial membrane lipids that are known to have strong relationship with temperature, making them suitable for temperature reconstructions. We test several temperature calibration models on modern samples taken from soils and multiple maar lakes. We find a bias associated with water depth and anoxic conditions that can be corrected for by accounting for a brGDGT isomer that is only produced in anoxic conditions. The corrected temperature reconstruction correlates with proxy and model temperature record spanning the same time period, validating the calibration model. However, millennial-scale variability is significantly dampened in the brGDGT record, and in contrast to other northern hemisphere climate records, during several Heinrich stadials, temperatures actually increase. We demonstrate that these apparent discrepancies can be explained by the unique seasonal response of the brGDGT paleothermometer to temperatures of months above freezing (TMAF). Our data support the view that warm season temperatures in Europe varied minimally during the last glacial period, and that abrupt millennial-scale events were defined by colder, longer winters. Our continuous high-resolution temperature reconstruction provides important information about the magnitude of seasonal climate variability during the last glacial period that can be used to test climate models and inform studies of paleoecological change.

description: The Saharo-Arabian desert is part of the largest near-continuous chain of drylands stretching from north-western Africa to the northern China. This harsh and often hyper-arid belt acts as a transition zone separating major biogeographic realms, including the Palearctic, Afrotropics and Indomalayan. This aridity is thought responsible for the creation of unique geographic endemism between Africa and Eurasia. However, there are no direct hydroclimate records from the Arabian hyper-arid interior before the mid-Pleistocene, leaving the terrestrial hydroclimate and the role of Arabia as a biogeographic crossroads or barrier largely unknown.

We use desert speleothems preserved from the northern Arabian interior to identify past humid phases over the last 8 million years. These are particularly useful terrestrial climate archives as they act as underground rain gauges, requiring a minimum of ~300 mm a-1 precipitation, pedogenesis and vegetation cover to form. Moreover, they can be accurately and precisely dated and are subsequently a valuable tool in identifying past large-scale hydrological and vegetation changes in ancient drylands. Our data reveal evidence of multiple ‘windows of opportunity’ of climate amelioration, allowing biogeographic exchange and dispersals to occur across the Arabian hyper-arid zone. Further, the novel analyses of the isotopic composition (d18O and d2H) of speleothem fluid inclusion waters, representing ‘fossil rainwater’, reveal the diminishing influence of tropical rain-belt precipitation in Arabia across Earth’s transition from a largely ‘ice-free’ northern hemisphere to an ‘ice-age’ world. The extent of Arabian aridity may thus be important in controlling biogeographic dispersals through the Arabian corridor, becoming increasingly less favourable through time. This is supported by fossil evidence which suggest that exchange between biogeographic regions across the Old World Savannah Biome were favoured in the Late Miocene, but became increasingly latitudinally fragmented from the Pliocene onwards. These results have significant implications for understanding the drivers of dryland aridity in non-polar deserts globally.

description: India’s state of Meghalaya pursued its 12th, and final, Five-Year Plan for state-wide economic development from 2012 – 2017 before following the central government’s directive for all Indian government bodies to cease formalized economic planning. The state set proposed metric goals for the plan’s completion, but there is no apparent public retrospective which analyzes how close the state came to achieving them. Since all goals were set at the state level, there is also a significant gap in understanding how each of Meghalaya’s 11 districts contributed to meeting metric goals. Furthermore, none of this already public data has been aggregated in a way which permits simple accessibility or analysis, especially at the district level. This thesis focuses on a range of first-time contributions to the Meghalayan public and economic development community using geospatial data visualization, geography-driven analytics, and creating publicly available datasets. It explores an analysis of district and state level metric actuals against goals and their trends over the course of the 12th Five-Year Plan. It demonstrates the creation process of a publicly available visualization tool and its associated dataset that includes the first correctly updated district-level map of Meghalaya. Finally, the thesis evaluates end-user feedback on the tool and its analysis provided by Meghalayan citizens.

description: In the work, monochloromethane was selected for heating (at high temperature) in an air- absorbed environment. Methods of selecting a binding component for a catalyst that has a low catalytic activity and retains the characteristic of selective action are shown . Experiments were carried out in a catalyst bed reactor at temperatures of 400-500℃ and a volumetric rate of monochloromethane of 450-2000 h-1. In the process Mg-P-Zr-Fe/YukS-20; Mg-P-Zr-Fe/YukS-30 catalysts were used. In the Mg-P-Zr-Fe/YukS-20 sample, the conversion of monochloromethane was 66%, after 500 min, up to 42% of the monochloromethane conversion in Mg-P-Zr-Fe/YukS-20, Mg-P-Zr And in Fe/YukS-30 it decreased to 36%. Al 2 O 3 was recommended to be used as a binder component, but the introduction of a binder led to a decrease in activity. The acidic properties of ammonia were studied using the method of thermoprogrammed desorption of ammonia. The regeneration process of the deactivated catalyst in the pyrolysis of monochloromethane was carried out using the method of combustion in air flow. Unreacted monochloromethane and reaction products were determined by the GSX method. In addition, the total selectivity of ∑C 2 -C 3 in Mg-P-Zr-Fe/YukS-30 is 6.75 mol% higher than in Mg-P-Zr-Fe/YukS-20, and both Mg-P-Zr-Fe/ The activity of YuKS-20 and Mg-P-Zr-Fe/YukS-30 catalysts decreases to 36.8% and 36.6% after 500 min of operation, which indicates the similarity in their deactivation. The purpose of the work is to create a bond for a slightly higher catalytically active and selective catalyst, which is separately isolated for the heating process of monochloromethane in an air-absorbed, i.e., vacuum environment, by slowly increasing the temperature. consists in choosing the constituent component.
