description: Traditional health systems mostly rely on rules created by experts to offer adaptive interventions to patients. However, with recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques, health-related systems are becoming more sophisticated with higher accuracy in providing more personalized interventions or treatments to individual patients. In this paper, we present an extensive literature review to explore the current trends in ML-based adaptive systems for health and well-being. We conduct a systematic search for articles published between January 2011 and April 2022 and selected 87 articles that met our inclusion criteria for review. The selected articles target 18 health and wellness domains including disease management, assistive healthcare, medical diagnosis, mental health, physical activity, dietary management, health monitoring, substance use, smoking cessation, homeopathy remedy finding, patient privacy, mobile health (mHealth) apps finder, clinician knowledge representation for neonatal emergency care, dental and oral health, medication management, disease surveillance, medical specialty recommendation, and health awareness. Our review focuses on five key areas across the target domains: data collection strategies, model development process, ML techniques utilized, model evaluation techniques, as well as adaptive or personalization strategies for health and wellness interventions. We also identified various technical and methodological challenges including data volume constraints, data quality issues, data diversity or variability issues, infrastructure-related issues, and suitability of interventions which offer directions for future work in this area. Finally, we offer recommendations for tackling these challenges, leveraging on technological advances such as multimodality, Cloud technology, online learning, edge computing, automatic re-calibration, Bluetooth auto-reconnection, feedback pipeline, federated learning, explainable AI, and co-creation of health and wellness interventions.

description: Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) provide sub-angstrom lateral resolution; however, the large convergence angle greatly reduces the depth of field. For microscopes with a small depth of field, information outside of the focal plane quickly becomes blurred and less defined. It may not be possible to image some samples entirely in focus. Extended depth-of-field techniques, however, allow a single image, with all areas in-focus, to be extracted from a series of images focused at a range of depths. In recent years, a variety of algorithmic approaches have been employed for bright field optical microscopy. Here, we demonstrate that some established optical microscopy methods can also be applied to extend the ~6 nm depth of focus of a 100 kV 5th-order aberration-corrected STEM (alpha_max = 33 mrad) to image Pt-Co nanoparticles on a thick vulcanized carbon support. These techniques allow us to automatically obtain a single image with all the particles in focus as well as a complimentary topography map.

description: Program for simplified modeling of the CBM RICH detector geometry was created. The program was developed as part of the object-oriented ROOT software package created on the basis of C ++. As input information, the program uses tracks of charged particles. For each track, Cherenkov light beams are generated at an angle calculated as a function of particle speed. As a result, we get the ring image of the ring on the photodetector plane and can estimate its radius, width and shape. Each step of the program is visualized for clarity and additional verification. Currently, this program is used to search for the optimal geometry of the RICH detector for the CBM spectrometer.

description: We study the Polyakov loop and the correlator of two Polyakov loops at finite temperature in the weak-coupling regime. We calculate the Polyakov loop at order g^4. The calculation of the correlator of two Polyakov loops is performed at distances shorter than the inverse of the temperature and for electric screening masses larger than the Coulomb potential. In this regime, it is accurate up to order g^6. We also evaluate the Polyakov-loop correlator in an effective field theory framework that takes advantage of the hierarchy of energy scales in the problem and makes explicit the bound-state dynamics. In the effective field theory framework, we show that the Polyakov-loop correlator is at leading order in the multipole expansion the sum of a colour-singlet and a colour-octet quark-antiquark correlator, which are gauge invariant, and compute the corresponding colour-singlet and colour-octet free energies.

description: Collaborative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) between secondary users (SUs) in cognitive networks exhibits an inherent tradeoff between minimizing the probability of missing the detection of the primary user (PU) and maintaining a reasonable false alarm probability (e.g., for maintaining a good spectrum utilization). In this paper, we study the impact of this tradeoff on the network structure and the cooperative incentives of the SUs that seek to cooperate for improving their detection performance. We model the CSS problem as a non-transferable coalitional game, and we propose distributed algorithms for coalition formation. First, we construct a distributed coalition formation (CF) algorithm that allows the SUs to self-organize into disjoint coalitions while accounting for the CSS tradeoff. Then, the CF algorithm is complemented with a coalitional voting game for enabling distributed coalition formation with detection probability guarantees (CF-PD) when required by the PU. The CF-PD algorithm allows the SUs to form minimal winning coalitions (MWCs), i.e., coalitions that achieve the target detection probability with minimal costs. For both algorithms, we study and prove various properties pertaining to network structure, adaptation to mobility and stability. Simulation results show that CF reduces the average probability of miss per SU up to 88.45% relative to the non-cooperative case, while maintaining a desired false alarm. For CF-PD, the results show that up to 87.25% of the SUs achieve the required detection probability through MWC

A Survey of High Contrast Stellar Flares Observed by Chandra

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The X-ray light curves of pre-main sequence stars can show variability in the form of flares altering a baseline characteristic activity level; the largest X-ray flares are characterized by a rapid rise to more than 10 times the characteristic count rate, followed by a slower quasi-exponential decay. Analysis of these high-contrast X-ray flares enables the study of the innermost magnetic fields of pre-main sequence stars. We have scanned the ANCHORS database of Chandra observations of star-forming regions to extend the study of flare events on pre-main sequence stars both in sky coverage and in volume. We developed a sample of 30 high-contrast flares out of the 14,000 stars of various ages and masses available in ANCHORS at the start of our study. Applying methods of time-resolved spectral analysis, we obtain the temperatures, confining magnetic field strengths, and loop lengths of these bright, energetic flares. The results of the flare analysis are compared to the 2MASS and Spitzer data available for the stars in our sample. We find that the longest flare loop lengths (of order several stellar radii) are only seen on stars whose IR data indicates the presence of disks. This suggests that the longest flares may stretch all the way to the disk. Such long flares tend to be more tenuous than the other large flares studied. A wide range of loop lengths are observed, indicating that different types of flares may occur on disked young stellar objects.

Development of a field-portable thin-layer chromatography based chemical analyzer for cannabinoid sample analysis
Creators: name: Ravishankara, Adithya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Industrial cannabis production has been steadily growing over the past decade due to the legalization of recreational cannabis in many regions around the world. For both regulatory and quality purposes, companies must ensure that their products meet industry standards, generally quantified as concentration of cannabinoids. A separate group that faces similar requirements are farmer of cannabinoids as they seek to optimize yield during harvest. The gold standard for quantification of cannabinoids is done using an HPLC/LCMS and other chromatographic methods which are expensive. In this thesis a low-cost, automated, and field-portable quantitative chemical analyzer is developed based on thin-layer-chromatography (TLC). The working principle of the device involves using TLC to separate the various molecules in a mixture. Once separated two visualization methods are employed to selectively visualize the compounds. Analysis is performed by taking HDR pictures of the strip under both visualization methods and performing densitometric analysis using computer vision techniques (multi-spectral analysis). The output of this system provides compositional analysis of a complex mixture. The device is used to detect THC, THCA, CBD and CBDA. The performance of the device was evaluated and an overall accuracy of ±0.5 mg/mL is given in the range of 0.5 mg/mL to 5 mg/mL, which meets the error tolerance for industrial standards. A vaporization chamber is developed as well to measure the total concentration of the sample to ensure the sample concentration meets the device requirements. The vaporization chamber has a measurement accuracy of ±0.27 mg/mL. Due to the versatile nature of the device, other industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food are proposed as possible future targets.

description: We have used neutron scattering and muon spin relaxation (muSR) to investigate the structural and magnetic properties of the beta-phase of elemental manganese doped with dilute amounts of indium. beta-Mn is an example of a topologically frustrated antiferromagnetically correlated metal - but which remains paramagnetic at all temperatures. The addition of In to beta-Mn results in a vast volume expansion of the lattice, and would therefore be expected to have a major effect on the stability and localization of the Mn moment - as observed in, for example, Ru and Al doped beta-Mn alloys. We find that In doping in beta-Mn results in a short-range ordered spin-glass like ground state, similar to that of Al-doped beta-Mn but with residual low frequency spin fluctuations. This is in contrast to Ru doping which results in the stabilization of a long-range ordered Mn moment

description: Our study aimed to compare the quality of patient self-collected capillary samples with venous blood samples. Additionally, we assessed whether patients with rheumatic disease are both capable of and willing to perform capillary self-sampling through subjective and objective assessments. This research explores the future potential of at-home self-sampling. Patients with rheumatic diseases were asked to perform up to four supervised self-collected capillary blood samples, followed by a standard venous sample performed by study personnel. Anti-rheumatic drug treatment monitoring parameters, including biochemistry and hematology, were analyzed using Cobas 8000 and Sysmex XN-9000, respectively. The agreement was evaluated by Bland-Altman plots and compared to critical difference limits. Study personnel and patients answered a survey questionnaire after every visit to evaluate feasibility. In total, 21 patients completed 53 paired capillary and venous samples from November 2019 to December 2020. We found a strong correlation (r > 0.87) and good agreement for most parameters; platelets showed the poorest agreement. Patients experienced little pain, found self-sampling easy and reported no serious complications. Hemolysis affected 12/53 capillary biochemistry samples, and 5/53 capillary hematology samples coagulated. The good agreement for most parameters and excellent feasibility encourages the potential for capillary self-sampling of DMARD monitoring parameters, relevant limitations were hemolysis and aggregating platelets.

description: The asymptotic behavior of expressions of the form $% \sum_{t=1}^{n}f(r_{n}x_{t})$ where $x_{t}$ is an integrated process, $r_{n}$ is a sequence of norming constants, and $f$ is a measurable function has been the subject of a number of articles in recent years. We mention Borodin and Ibragimov (1995), Park and Phillips (1999), de Jong (2004), Jeganathan (2004), Pötscher (2004), de Jong and Whang (2005), Berkes and Horvath (2006), and Christopeit (2009) which study weak convergence results for such expressions under various conditions on $x_{t}$ and the function $f$. Of course, these results also provide information on the order of magnitude of $% \sum_{t=1}^{n}f(r_{n}x_{t})$. However, to the best of our knowledge no result is available for the case where $f$ is non-integrable with respect to Lebesgue-measure in a neighborhood of a given point, say $x=0$. In this paper we are interested in bounds on the order of magnitude of $% \sum_{t=1}^{n}|x_{t}| ^{-α}$ when $α\geq 1$, a case where the implied function $f$ is not integrable in any neighborhood of zero. More generally, we shall also obtain bounds on the order of magnitude for $\sum_{t=1}^{n}v_{t}|x_{t}| ^{-α}$ where $v_{t}$ are random variables satisfying certain conditions.

The perception of noise in vowels and vowel-like stimuli
Creators: name: Labuschagne, Ilse Bernadette
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Breathiness is a perceptual characteristic of voice that is associated with the presence of aspiration noise in the speech signal. Previous studies investigated how changes in the noise-to- harmonics ratio (NHR) and in the slope of the glottal spectrum affected noise discrimination. However, the effects of spectral properties (such as formant frequencies and fundamental frequency, fo) on breathiness have remained largely unexplored. The first study of this thesis (Chapter 2) investigated noise discrimination in synthesized vowels as a function of vowel spectrum (/æ/ and /i/ for different speakers) while the amount of aspiration noise and the glottal spectrum’s slope was fixed. The fo was allowed to covary. Findings indicated that both vowel spectrum and fo affected noise discrimination. Additional studies of this thesis investigated noise perception using harmonic series (maskers) with equal-amplitude components so that the effects of spectral factors could be manipulated. The effect of masker level and fo on noise perception was investigated using band-limited maskers in three non-overlapping frequency bands. These bands were set such that listeners predominantly relied on spectral cues (resolved frequency components), temporal cues (unresolved components), or a combination of both (resolved and unresolved components). Experiments with wideband maskers were also performed. The effects of frequency band, level and fo were investigated using noise detection Chapter 3 and noise discrimination tasks (Chapter 4 and Chapter 5). The results showed that fo affected noise detection and discrimination in bands that contained spectral cues, but not temporal cues. Masker level had a large effect on the detection thresholds when temporal cues were used, but the effect of masker level on discrimination thresholds were inconclusive. Detection thresholds for different frequency bands depended on fo and masker level, but discrimination performance was consistently poor in the highest frequency band where temporal cues were used for a given NHR. In conclusion, the effect of fo on noise cues depended on the auditory processing mechanism (spectral vs temporal), and whether the noise was near threshold or suprathreshold. Level differences had a co-modulating effect on the results that were explained by way of the non- linear amplification of the basilar membrane.

description: Data on the long-term within-subject biological variation (CVI) of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (S-TSH) are scarce. In the EFLM Biological Variation Database, the longest observation period was one year. We estimated a coefficient of variation that included analytical variation (CVI+A) using data from 16,976 individuals in the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT), where S-TSH was measured on two occasions with an average interval of 10.6 (range 9.3–12.3) years. These individuals reported their health to be ‘good’ or ‘very good’ on both occasions and were not registered with any diagnoses or use of medications (according to Norwegian Prescribed Drug Registry) related to the thyroid. We used the software refineR to identify an assumed nonpathological subpopulation in the distribution of distances from each observation to the center of the bivariate distribution of the two S-TSH-values. From this subpopulation, individuals with a distance ≤ the 95 percentile in the distribution of distances were selected for estimation of CVI+A. The difference in percent of the mean (DPM) was calculated for each individual, and CVI+A as the standard deviation in the distribution of DPMs divided by 20.5. This method was robust against systematic bias between the two measurements. CVI+A was 21–23% for different groups of age and sex. Accounting for CVA would imply a CVI 0.1–0.8% less than CVI+A. Our estimates are well within the 12–29.3% range of CVI reported from the seven studies in the meta-analysis of the EFLM Biological Variation Database.

description: It has been puzzling that the resistivity of high mobility two-dimensional(2D) carrier systems in semiconductors with low carrier density often exhibits a large increase followed by a decrease when the temperature ($T$) is raised above a characteristic temperature comparable with the Fermi temperature ($T_F$). We find that the metallic 2D hole system (2DHS) in GaAs quantum well (QW) has a linear density ($p$) dependent conductivity, $σ\approx eμ^*(p-p_0)$, in both the degenerate (T<T_F$) is originated from the reduced $p_0$, the density of immobile carriers in a two-phase picture.

description: A local approximation for dynamic polarizability leads to a nonlocal functional for the long-range dispersion interaction energy via an imaginary-frequency integral. We analyze several local polarizability approximations and argue that the form underlying the construction of our recent van der Waals functional [O. A. Vydrov and T. Van Voorhis, Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 063004 (2009)] is particularly well physically justified. Using this improved formula, we compute dynamic dipole polarizabilities and van der Waals C_6 coefficients for a set of atoms and molecules. Good agreement with the benchmark values is obtained in most cases.
Millennial-scale environmental controls on cold-water corals in the South Atlantic - a case study from the Argentine margin

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Along the northern Argentine margin numerous cold-water coral mounds have been found. Little is known about the present distribution of Bathelia candida, the major framework-forming coral in this region. However, based on the analysis of five sediment cores taken from coral mounds between 990 m and 1,300 m, some information exists about their past development. Coral age datings with the Uranium/Thorium methods reveal three major coral growth or mound aggradation phases: 17-15 kyr BP, 14-12 kyr BP, and 11-8 kyr BP, which are linked to changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and in the strength of the Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW). Interestingly, in water depths >1,150 m coral growth was restricted to the 17-15 kyr period during the AMOC breakdown. After that, corals only returned to the Argentine margin to waters shallower than 1,150 m. Still, a puzzling question remains to why the corals did not return after ~6.5 kyr BP, when the AAIW got back to normal strength.

description: ProGRP (Progastrin-releasing peptide), SCC (Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen), and HE4 (Human epididymis protein 4) are serum tumor markers (STMs) frequently used in clinical practice, particularly for detection and monitoring of ovarian and lung neoplasms. In clinical laboratories, their quantification is commonly performed using automated immunoassays. Nevertheless, variations in results obtained by different immunoassays can impact diagnostic accuracy and effectiveness of patient monitoring. Our aim is to assess differences in STMs concentrations between two automated immunoassays: the Elecsys (Roche) and the Architect (Abbott), which are integrated into the Cobas e402 and Architect i2000SR systems respectively. We included 401 serum samples from patients with different clinical conditions: patients with cancer (n = 170), benign diseases (n = 100) and a control group (n = 131). ProGRP, SCC, and HE4 concentrations were quantified in parallel by both analyzers. To evaluate the clinical impact of changing these methodologies, overall concordance, the kappa index and ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curves were calculated. While some discrepancies were noted in specific cases, overall, we obtained a good correlation for three STMs, with a Pearson coefficient for proGRP (r = 0.99), SCC (r = 0.95) and HE4 (r = 0.973). We also obtained a similar performance in the differential diagnosis of cancer, according to the results of the ROC analyses for Cobas and Archictect assays respectively: proGRP (AUC = 0.92; 0.91), SCC (AUC = 0.90; 0.92) and HE4 (AUC = 0.92; 0.93).

description: In this paper, we study a simple correlation-based strategy for estimating the unknown delay and amplitude of a signal based on a small number of noisy, randomly chosen frequency-domain samples. We model the output of this "compressive matched filter" as a random process whose mean equals the scaled, shifted autocorrelation function of the template signal. Using tools from the theory of empirical processes, we prove that the expected maximum deviation of this process from its mean decreases sharply as the number of measurements increases, and we also derive a probabilistic tail bound on the maximum deviation. Putting all of this together, we bound the minimum number of measurements required to guarantee that the empirical maximum of this random process occurs sufficiently close to the true peak of its mean function. We conclude that for broad classes of signals, this compressive matched filter will successfully estimate the unknown delay (with high probability, and within a prescribed tolerance) using a number of random frequency-domain samples that scales inversely with the signal-to-noise ratio and only logarithmically in the in the observation bandwidth and the possible range of delays.

description: In the rodent olfactory bulb the smooth dendrites of the principal glutamatergic mitral cells (MCs) form reciprocal dendrodendritic synapses with large spines on GABAergic granule cells (GC), where unitary release of glutamate can trigger postsynaptic local activation of voltage-gated Na+-channels (Navs), that is a spine spike. Can such single MC input evoke reciprocal release? We find that unitary-like activation via two-photon uncaging of glutamate causes GC spines to release GABA both synchronously and asynchronously onto MC dendrites. This release indeed requires activation of Navs and high-voltage-activated Ca2+-channels (HVACCs), but also of NMDA receptors (NMDAR). Simulations show temporally overlapping HVACC- and NMDAR-mediated Ca2+-currents during the spine spike, and ultrastructural data prove NMDAR presence within the GABAergic presynapse. This cooperative action of presynaptic NMDARs allows to implement synapse-specific, activity-dependent lateral inhibition, and thus could provide an efficient solution to combinatorial percept synthesis in a sensory system with many receptor channels.

description: Vitamin B12 (s-cobalamin) and methylmalonic acid (s-MMA) are often interpreted together to diagnose cobalamin deficiency, in context with patient symptomatology, which is many cases is unspecific. Today, clinicians assess test results in relation to the univariate reference limits or decision limits. As s-MMA depends on renal function (glomerular filtration rate, GFR), interpretation can be complicated. To ease the interpretation of the two measurements, we propose three new tools: First, we developed a new formula for adjusting s-MMA to an eGFR of 100 mL/min/1.73 m2 (s-MMA100). The formula was s-MMA100 = [(eGFR/100)0.549] × s-MMA. It was derived from the median relationship between s-MMA and estimated GFR (eGFR) in an ambulant patient population of 4342 individuals, where eGFR was calculated according to the EKFC equations. S-MMA100 was not associated with eGFR in a US test population of 6852 individuals. Second, we constructed a combined reference range for s-MMA100 and s-cobalamin from data in a healthy reference population (n = 495 individuals). Third, we proposed a new cobalamin deficiency index, CDI = s-cobalamin/s-MMA100, and studied the effect of different decision limits on the prevalence of positive test results in a patient population. Using the 2.5 percentile of CDI in the reference population as a decision limit gave a prevalence of 5.2% positive test results in the patient population. However, as a gold standard for cobalamin deficiency does not exist, we were unable to study the diagnostic accuracy of the CDI. Therefore, the true diagnostic accuracy of these tools is yet unknown and should be investigated.
