Needle insertion simulation and path planning for prostate brachytherapy
Creators: name: Dehghan Marvast, Ehsan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Low dose rate prostate brachytherapy has emerged as a treatment option for localized prostate cancer. During prostate brachytherapy, tiny radioactive capsules - seeds - are implanted inside the tissue using long needles. The quality of the treatment depends on the accuracy of seed delivery to their desired positions. Prostate deformation and displacement during insertion and lack of sufficient visual feedback complicate accurate targeting and necessitates extensive training on the part of the physician. Needle insertion simulators can be useful for physician training. In addition, insertion of the needle with optimized parameters can compensate for prostate deformation, can decrease the targeting errors and, subsequently, can increase the post-treatment quality of life of the patients. Therefore, needle insertion simulation and path planning have gained a lot of attention in the research community in the past decade. Moreover, several robots have been designed for brachytherapy; however, they are yet to be coupled with proper needle insertion path planning algorithms. In this thesis, steps toward a path planning algorithm for needles are taken. An optimization method is proposed that updates the initial insertion parameters of a rigid needle, iteratively, based on the simulated positions of the targets, in order to reduce the error between the needle and several targets in a 3D tissue model. The finite element method is used in the needle insertion simulator. The simulator requires a model for the needle-tissue interaction. Therefore, an experimental method has been developed to identify the force model and the tissue elasticity parameters using measurements of insertion force, tissue displacement and needle position. Ultrasound imaging is used to measure tissue displacement. Ultrasound is a common imaging modality in the operating room and does not need beads or markers to track the tissue motion. Therefore, the experimental method can be used in patient studies. The needle-tissue modeling method and insertion parameter optimization were validated in experiments with tissue-mimicking phantoms. In order to facilitate the accommodation of needle flexibility for future applications, three flexible needle models have been compared. Based on these comparisons, it was determined that an efficient and accurate angular spring model is best suited for future studies.

description: We simulate the logical Hadamard gate in the surface code under a circuit-level noise model, compiling it to a physical circuit on square-grid connectivity hardware. Our paper is the first to do this for a logical unitary gate on a quantum error-correction code. We consider two proposals, both via patch-deformation: one that applies a transversal Hadamard gate (i.e. a domain wall through time) to interchange the logical $X$ and $Z$ strings, and another that applies a domain wall through space to achieve this interchange. We explain in detail why they perform the logical Hadamard gate by tracking how the stabilisers and the logical operators are transformed in each quantum error-correction round. We optimise the physical circuits and evaluate their logical failure probabilities, which we find to be comparable to those of a quantum memory experiment for the same number of quantum error-correction rounds. We present syndrome-extraction circuits that maintain the same effective distance under circuit-level noise as under phenomenological noise. We also explain how a $SWAP$-quantum error-correction round (required to return the patch to its initial position) can be compiled to only four two-qubit gate layers. This can be applied to more general scenarios and, as a byproduct, explains from first principles how the "stepping" circuits of the recent Google paper [McEwen, Bacon, and Gidney, Quantum 7, 1172 (2023)] can be constructed.

description: Space-based and ground-based telescopes have extensively documented the impact of satellites on astronomical observations. With the proliferation of satellite mega-constellation programs, their influence on astronomical observations has become undeniable. It is crucial to quantify the impact of satellites on telescopes. To address this need, we have enhanced the circular orbit model for satellites and introduced a methodology based on two-line element (TLE) orbit data. This involves constructing a satellite probability distribution model to evaluate the impact of satellites on telescopes. Using our method, we assessed the satellite impact on global observatories. The results indicate that the regions most severely affected by satellite interference currently are those near the equator, with latitudes around 50 and 80 degrees experiencing the most significant impact from low Earth orbit satellites. Furthermore, we validated the reliability of our method using imaging data obtained from the focal surface acquisition camera of the LAMOST telescope.

description: We introduce a quantum algorithm to efficiently prepare states with a small energy variance at the target energy. We achieve it by filtering a product state at the given energy with a Lorentzian filter of width $δ$. Given a local Hamiltonian on $N$ qubits, we construct a parent Hamiltonian whose ground state corresponds to the filtered product state with variable energy variance proportional to $δ\sqrt{N}$. We prove that the parent Hamiltonian is gapped and its ground state can be efficiently implemented in $\mathrm{poly}(N,1/δ)$ time via adiabatic evolution. We numerically benchmark the algorithm for a particular non-integrable model and find that the adiabatic evolution time to prepare the filtered state with a width $δ$ is independent of the system size $N$. Furthermore, the adiabatic evolution can be implemented with circuit depth $\mathcal{O}(N^2δ^{-4})$. Our algorithm provides a way to study the finite energy regime of many body systems in quantum simulators by directly preparing a finite energy state, providing access to an approximation of the microcanonical properties at an arbitrary energy.

Each of the operators that we are going to deal with are singular integrals given by a kernel $K(x,y)$, which satisfies certain size and smoothness conditions in relation to a critical radius function $ρ$ which comes appears naturally in the harmonic analysis related to Schrödinger operator $\mathcal{L}$.

description: Superlattice potential modulation can produce flat minibands in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene. In this work we study how band topology and interaction-induced symmetry-broken phases in this system are controlled by tuning the displacement field and the shape and strength of the superlattice potential. We use an analytic perturbative analysis to demonstrate that topological flat bands are favored by a honeycomb-lattice-shaped potential, and numerics to show that the robustness of topological bands depends on both the displacement field strength and the periodicity of the superlattice potential. At integer fillings of the topological flat bands, the strength of the displacement field and the superlattice potential tune phase transitions between quantum anomalous Hall insulator, trivial insulator, and metallic states. We present mean-field phase diagrams in a gate voltage parameter space at filling factor $ν=1$, and discuss the prospects of realizing quantum anomalous Hall insulators and fractional Chern insulators when the superlattice potential modulation is produced by dielectric patterning or adjacent moiré materials.

description: Acanthaleyrodes Tak ahashi
Acanthaleyrodes Takahashi, 1931: 220. Type species: Acanthaleyrodes callicarpae Takahashi, by monotypy.
Diagnosis (redefined): Puparium pale or brown, oval or elliptical, without secretion of wax, submarginal area not separated from dorsal disc, subdorsal area with wavy corrugations. Margin crenulate, usually modified at tracheal pore openings; submargin with many lines. Dorsum with long tuberculate setae; cephalic, first abdominal, eighth abdominal, caudal setae, anterior and posterior marginal setae and ventral abdominal setae present. Longitudinal moulting suture reaching margin and transverse moulting suture reaching submedian area. Median tubercles present or absent. Submedian papillae along the segment sutures may be present. Vasiform orifice subcordate, placed on an elevated protuberance. Operculum nearly filling the orifice, tip of lingula exposed. Thoracic tracheal furrows absent. Caudal furrow indistinct (Fig. 7) or present (Figs 27 & 44). Median length of abdominal segment VII shorter than VI. Geminate pores present. Caudal and thoracic tracheal folds present, filled with stipples. Spiracles present.
Remarks: The puparia of Acanthaleyrodes superficially resemble those of Tuberaleyrodes Takahashi in having tuberculate setae and the placement of the dorsal setae on the elevated cuticle. During development the dorsal cuticle at the point of insertion of the dorsal setae which are fixed on elevated sockets, gradually tapers towards the apex and forms “tuberculate setae” (Fig. 10). Acanthaleyrodes is similar to Tuberaleyrodes but differs in having the vasiform orifice placed on a prominent protuberance. Sometimes this elevation is longer than the distance between the base of orifice and the puparial caudal margin (Figs 1, 8, 23, 24), and the caudal furrow does not connect the posterior end of the orifice and the puparial caudal margin. In Tuberaleyrodes, the vasiform orifice is not placed on elevated protuberance, and the caudal furrow connects the posterior end of orifice with the puparial caudal opening. Possibly that was the reason for Martin & Mound (2007) to transfer Dialeurodes spiniferosa Corbett to Tuberaleyrodes, this species having been placed earlier in Acanthaleyrodes by Mound & Halsey (1978).

Modeling of scalable video content for multi-user wireless transmission
Creators: name: Mansour, Hassan Bader
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis addresses different aspects of wireless video transmission of scalable video content to multiple users over lossy and under-provisioned channels. Modern wireless video transmission systems, such as the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)'s high speed packet access (HSPA) networks and IEEE 802.11-based wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow sharing common bandwidth resources among multiple video users. However, the unreliable nature of the wireless link results in packet losses and fluctuations in the available channel capacity. This calls for flexible encoding, error protection, and rate control strategies implemented at the video encoder or base station. The scalable video coding (SVC) extension of the H.264/AVC video standard delivers quality scalable video bitstreams that help define and provide quality of service (QoS) guarantees for wireless video transmission applications. We develop real-time rate and distortion estimation models for the coarse/medium granular scalability (CGS/MGS) features in SVC. These models allow mobile video encoders to predict the packet size and corresponding distortion of a video frame using only the residual mean absolute difference (MAD) and the quantization parameter (QP). This thesis employs different cross layer resource allocation techniques that jointly optimize the video bit-rate, error protection, and latency control algorithms in pre-encoded and real-time streaming scenarios. In the first scenario, real-time multi-user streaming with dynamic channel throughput and packet losses is solved by controlling the base and enhancement layer quality as well as unequal erasure protection (UXP) overhead to minimize the frame-level distortion. The second scenario considers pre-encoded scalable video streaming in capacity limited wireless channels suffering from latency problems and packet losses. We develop a loss distortion model for hierarchical predictive coders and employ dynamic UXP allocation with a delay-aware non-stationary rate-allocation streaming policy. The third scenario addresses the problem of efficiently allocating multi-rate IEEE 802.11-based network resources among multiple scalable video streams using temporal fairness constraints. We present a joint link-adaptation at the physical (PHY) layer and a dynamic packet dropping mechanism in the network or medium access control (MAC) layer for multi-rate wireless networks. We demonstrate that these methods result in significant performance gains over existing schemes.

description: Kagome lattices have garnered substantial interest because their band structure consists of topological flat bands and Dirac cones. The RMn$_6$Sn$_6$ (R = rare earth) compounds are particularly interesting because of the existence of large intrinsic anomalous Hall effect (AHE) which originates from the gapped Dirac cones near the Fermi level. This makes RMn$_6$Sn$_6$ an outstanding candidate for realizing the high-temperature quantum anomalous Hall effect. The growth of RMn$_6$Sn$_6$ thin films is beneficial for both fundamental research and potential applications. However, most of the studies on RMn$_6$Sn$_6$ have focused on bulk crystals so far, and the synthesis of RMn$_6$Sn$_6$ thin films has not been reported so far. Here we report the atomic layer molecular beam epitaxy growth, structural and magnetic characterizations, and transport properties of ErMn$_6$Sn$_6$ and TbMn$_6$Sn$_6$ thin films. It is especially noteworthy that TbMn$_6$Sn$_6$ thin films have out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy, which is important for realizing the quantum anomalous Hall effect. Our work paves the avenue toward the control of the AHE using devices patterned from RMn$_6$Sn$_6$ thin films.

- Die von Willmann (1931) abgebildete O. meridionalis ist tatsächlich 2-krallig und stimmt mit Berninis Beschreibung (1975b) überein; der Translamellarhöcker ist nur schwach entwickelt (ein Präparat mit zwei Tieren aus Italien in der Willmann-Sammlung wurde überprüft, das auch Grundlage der Abbildung von Willmann ist). Bernini zitiert auch einen Fund der 2-kralligen " meridionalis " aus Südfrankreich von Lions (1972). Deshalb ist hinreichend geklärt, daß O. meridionalis durch Willmann irrtümlich zu den 3-kralligen Arten gestellt wurde. Subias & Gil-Martin (1995) benennen eine 3-krallige O. willmanni aus Spanien neu, die ansonsten Merkmale von superbula aufweist. Ihre Annahme, es sei " O. meridionalis " sensu Willmann, ist allerdings unrichtig. Es besteht aber durchaus die Möglichkeit einer Variabilität der Krallenzahl zwischen 2 und 3; dann wäre O. willmanni ebenfalls synonym.

description: Galumnidae Jacot, 1925
Diagnose: Lam zu Linien reduziert oder fehlend; RO rund, Sub schildförmig; Ptc reduziert; Ptm groß, beweglich, nach vorn und hinten " ohrförmig " gerundet; NG mit A.p., ng deutlich bis reduziert; 6 g.
Das Gattungskonzept basiert auf sehr wenigen Merkmalen: Präsenz oder Fehlen der Lamellar- und Sublamellar-Leisten und von medianen Poren auf dem Notogaster (letzteres Merkmal innerhalb der Gattungen Galumna und Pergalumna partiell vorkommend). Wenigstens die Gattungen Acrogalumna, Pilogalumna und auch Allogalumna stehen sich relativ nahe, so daß sie in eine Gattung gestellt werden könnten. Gemeinsamkeiten sind: Lamellarleiste fehlend, Notogastervorderrand median fehlend, etliche der Arten dieser Gruppe mit zweigeteilten vorderen Areae porosae (Aa); alle hier vorkommenden Arten von Acrogalumna und Pilogalumna mit variablen hinteren Areae porosae (A3), von kurz-oval bis breit bandförmig. Außerdem hat in der Regel Galumna flagellata nur eine sehr dünne Lamellarlinie, die bei zwei untersuchten Tieren völlig fehlt! Da eine phylogenetische Analyse fehlt, wird vorläufig das aufgesplittete Gattungskonzept beibehalten.

description: We present the latest version of the GAEA model of galaxy formation. Our new model combines (i) an updated treatment of AGN feedback including an improved modelling of cold gas accretion on super-massive BHs and an explicit implementation of quasar winds; and (ii) an improved modelling of cold and hot gas stripping from satellite galaxies. We show that our latest model predicts specific SFR distributions that are in remarkable agreement with observational measurements in the local Universe. Our updated model predicts quenched fractions that are in very nice agreement with data up to z~3-4, and a turn-over of the number densities of quenched galaxies at low stellar masses that is in qualitative agreement with current observational estimates. We show that the main reasons for the improved behaviour with respect to previous renditions of our model are the updated treatment for satellites at low galaxy masses (<10^10 Msun) and the inclusion of quasar winds at intermediate to large stellar masses (>10^10 Msun). However, we show that the better treatment of the star formation threshold, due to our explicit partitioning of the cold gas in its atomic and molecular components, also plays an important role in suppressing excessive residual star formation in massive galaxies. While our analysis is based on a selection of quiescent galaxies that takes advantage of the information about their SFR, we demonstrate that the impact of a different (colour-colour) selection is not significant, at least for galaxies above the completeness limits of current surveys. Our new model predicts number densities of massive quiescent galaxies at z>3 that are the largest among recently published models. Yet, our model predictions appear still to be below post-JWST observational measurements. We show that the expected cosmic variance is large, and can easily accommodate some of the most recent measurements.

description: Liquid crystals, with their ability of self-assembly, strong response to the electric field, and integrability into complex systems, are key materials in light beam manipulation. Recently discovered ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals also possess a considerable second-order optical nonlinearity, making them a perspective material for nonlinear optics. Their use as sources of quantum light could drastically extend the boundaries of photonic quantum technologies. However, spontaneous parametric down-conversion, the basic source of entangled photons, heralded single photons, and squeezed light, has been so far not observed in liquid crystals - or in any liquids or organic materials. Here, we implement spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal and demonstrate electric-field tunable broadband generation of entangled photons, with the efficiency comparable to that of the best nonlinear crystals. The emission rate and polarization state of photon pairs is dramatically varied by applying a few volts or twisting the molecular orientation along the sample. A liquid crystal source enables a new type of quasi-phasematching, which is based on molecular twist structure and is therefore reconfigurable for the desired spectral and polarization properties of photon pairs. Such sources promise to outperform standard nonlinear optical materials in terms of functionality, brightness and the tunability of the generated quantum state. The concepts developed here can be extended to complex topological structures, macroscopic devices, and multi-pixel tunable quantum light sources.
