High Performance Implementation of Support Vector Machines Using OpenCL

Support Vector Machines are a machine learning approach that is well studied, thoroughly vetted and effective in a large number of applications. The objective of this thesis is to accelerate an implementation of Support Vector Machines (SVM) using a heterogeneous computing system programmed using OpenCL in C/C++. LIBSVM, a widely-available, popular and open source implementation of SVM is chosen, allowing the presented work to be integrated seamlessly into existing systems. The proposed framework is evaluated in terms of speed and accuracy when performing training and classification on a number of standard data sets. Testing was based on two work station GPUs, the NVIDIA GTX 480 and Tesla K20, and a modern, work station CPU (Intel i5 Quad Core, 3 GHz).\nWe find that, for large data sets, training is accelerated by a factor ranging from 9 to 22. In general, speedup increases with the total number of training samples in the data set until the GPU device is fully utilized. While these gains in speedup are significant, they do not match the ideal parallel speedup, that is the total number of cores in the parallel system. Our findings indicate that performance is hampered by the portions of the SVM training algorithm that are sequential. In addition, we find that the classification phase of the SVM system is accelerated by a factor of up to 12. During classification only a relatively small number of samples are classified compared to the typical number of training samples, and the computational complexity of classification grows only linearly with the number of samples processed, as opposed to the training phase where it grows quadratically. The contri- butions of this thesis include the use of OpenCL for accelerating SVM training and testing on heterogeneous systems, and the performance analysis of the acceleration of SVM.

Oncogenic and Stemness Signatures of the High-Risk HCMV Strains in Breast Cancer Progression

Background: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) oncomodulation, molecular mechanisms, and ability to support polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) generation might underscore its contribution to oncogenesis, especially breast cancers. The heterogeneity of strains can be linked to distinct properties influencing the virus-transforming potential, cancer types induced, and patient’s clinical outcomes. Methods: We evaluated the transforming potential in vitro and assessed the acquired cellular phenotype, genetic and molecular features, and stimulation of stemness of HCMV strains, B544 and B693, isolated from EZH2HighMycHigh triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) biopsies. Therapeutic response assessment after paclitaxel (PTX) and ganciclovir (GCV) treatment was conducted in addition to the molecular characterization of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Findings: HCMV-B544 and B693 transformed human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs). We detected multinucleated and lipid droplet-filled PGCCs harboring HCMV. Colony formation was detected and Myc was overexpressed in CMV-Transformed-HMECs (CTH cells). CTH-B544 and B693 stimulated stemness and established an epithelial/mesenchymal hybrid state. HCMV-IE1 was detected in CTH long-term cultures indicating a sustained viral replication. Biopsy B693 unveiled a tumor signature predicting a poor prognosis. CTH-B544 cells were shown to be more sensitive to PTX/GCV therapy. Conclusion: The oncogenic and stemness signatures of HCMV strains accentuate the oncogenic potential of HCMV in breast cancer progression thereby leading the way for targeted therapies and innovative clinical interventions that will improve the overall survival of breast cancer patients.

Performance of finisher broiler chickens fed diets containing unpeeled sweet potato meal as partial substitute for maize

Abstract This study evaluated effects of unpeeled sweet potato meal (USPM) on performance of finisher broiler chickens. A total of 180 one day-old broiler chicks were used for the experiment. Brooding operation was carried out for 2 weeks. Thereafter, the broiler chickens were managed for additional 2 weeks with provision of starter diet and water ad-libitum. At four weeks old, they were equalized for weight and distributed into three dietary treatments (control, 10% and 15% unpeeled sweet potato meal as partial replacement for maize) each replicated four times with 15 birds per replicate; laid out in a completely randomized design. The birds were managed intensively throughout the experimental period until they attained 7 weeks of age. Data collected were subjected to one-way analysis of variance. Results revealed that the inclusion of unpeeled sweet potato meal up to 15% in diets of finisher broiler chickens did not significantly affect the growth performance indices, haematological parameters, carcass traits and most of the serum metabolites except albumin which showed significant variation and ranged from 1.35 g/dl (15% USPM) to 1.90 g/dl (control). Least significant cost (N129.73) per kg feed was recorded in birds fed diet containing 15% USPM relative to highest cost (N136. 63) per kg feed observed in birds fed control diet. Conclusively, incorporation of unpeeled sweet potato meal up to 15% in diet of finisher broiler chickens reduced cost per kg of broiler finisher diet and had no detrimental implications on growth performance, haematological parameters, serum metabolites and carcass traits in chickens.

Aortic effects of thyroid hormone in male mice

It is well established that thyroid hormones are required for cardiovascular functions; however, the molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood, especially the individual contributions of genomic and non-genomic signalling pathways. In this study, we dissected how thyroid hormones modulate aortic contractility. To test the immediate effects of thyroid hormones on vasocontractility, we used a wire myograph to record the contractile response of dissected mouse aortas to the adrenergic agonist phenylephrine in the presence of different doses of T3 (3,3′,5-triiodothyronine). Interestingly, we observed reduced vasoconstriction under low and high T3 concentrations, indicating an inversed U-shaped curve with maximal constrictive capacity at euthyroid conditions. We then tested for possible genomic actions of thyroid hormones on vasocontractility by treating mice for 4 days with 1 mg/L thyroxine in drinking water. The study revealed that in contrast to the non-genomic actions the aortas of these animals were hyperresponsive to the contractile stimulus, an effect not observed in endogenously hyperthyroid TRβ knockout mice. To identify targets of genomic thyroid hormone action, we analysed aortic gene expression by microarray, revealing several altered genes including the well-known thyroid hormone target gene hairless. Taken together, the findings demonstrate that thyroid hormones regulate aortic tone through genomic and non-genomic actions, although genomic actions seem to prevail in vivo . Moreover, we identified several novel thyroid hormone target genes that could provide a better understanding of the molecular changes occurring in the hyperthyroid aorta.

Education effectiveness Comparison between Face to Face lectures and Online lectures

The paper proposed a most effective lecture style based on accumulated educational data in the last 3 years. The education data includes all student scores of short tests, reports, final tests, access logs to online e-learning system, and student answers to questionnaires. As a result, in subjects that fit the drill learning style such as "IT Introduction", the educational effectiveness of online lectures becomes high, but needed student mental consultations. In the subjects that take conceptual knowledge and skills, the educational effectiveness of online lectures becomes low. We confirmed that the online materials should be on-demand learning materials including short movies and short tests, not live streaming materials.

Propagation of Vertically Polarized Waves Over Rough Ocean Surfaces

The problem of propagation of vertically polarized radiowaves in an inhomogeneous atmosphere and over rough ocean surfaces is solved using the parabolic equation method. The solution of the parabolic equation is accomplished through the use of the Fourier split-step algorithm. Formulation of the equations is based upon (1) recognizing that the Fourier kernels of the transform equations in the split step algorithm represent planes waves and (2) compensating for the effects of rough ocean surfaces by using a rough surface reduction factor directly in the spectral domain. To accomplish this a redefinition of the Fourier transform pair is done to ensure mathematical consistency. The formulation also incorporates the first and second derivatives of the refractivity index to accommodate steep gradients in the refractivity profile. Hanning windows are used in both the spatial and wavenumber domains to contain computational requirements. The effects on propagation by varying parameters such as wave heights, computational domain ceilings, frequency and step size are investigated

High-accuracy (e, 2e) cross sections for helium: reference data in the first Born approximation

The authors present new high-accuracy (6-7%) absolute measurements of the triple differential cross sections for ionisation of helium by 4 and 8 keV electron impact, obtained at small ejected-electron energies and small and intermediate momentum transfer values. When reduced to generalised oscillator strengths, the 4 and 8 keV data are indistinguishable from each other. Also, comparison is made with the three most recent and accurate first Born calculations, and it is concluded that this approximation is certainly valid under the present kinematics. The authors therefore suggest that these data should be used as a standard against which future lower-energy calculations should be calibrated.

2004d Solar System formation deduced from observations of matter. arXiv:astroph/0408151 9

Aspects of our Solar System’s formation are deduced from observations of the chemical nature of matter. Massive cores are indicative of terrestrial-planet-composition-similarity to enstatite chondrite meteorites, whose highly-reduced state of oxidation may be thermodynamically stable in solar matter only at elevated temperatures and pressures. Consistent with the formation of Earth as envisioned by Arnold Eucken, thermodynamic considerations lead to the deduction that the terrestrial planets formed by liquidcondensation, raining out from the central regions of hot, gaseous protoplanets. The mass of protoplanetary-Earth, estimated to be 275-305mE, is similar to the mass of Jupiter, 318mE. Solar primordial gases and volatile elements were separated from the terrestrial planets early after planet formation, presumably during some super-luminous solar event, perhaps even before Mercury had completely formed. The pre-super-luminosityterrestrial-planet mass distribution appears to be more consistent with observations of the close-in gas-giants of other planetary systems than the present-day-terrestrial-planet mass distribution. Although primarily formed by raining out from the centers of hot, gaseous protoplanets, evidence for the Earth and, by inference for the other terrestrial planets, suggests some outer, minor, secondary accretion of oxidized matter in the grain-growth accumulation way envisioned by George W. Wetherill. By contrast, the so-called “standard model ” for our Solar System’s formation has flawed conceptual underpinnings and would lead to the contradiction of terrestrial planets having insufficiently massive cores.

A showcase of impact: The social innovation story of Kennisland

Social innovation is a term used describe the process of designing and developing creative solutions to address the pressing unmet social needs. Kennisland is among a few organizations who does social innovation in its scope of work. Kennisland needs to showcase the results of their social innovation to tell the public about the benefits of social innovation and the value of Kennisland, but the results are abstract and invisible because the problems are big and complex. However, Kennisland results are not that invisible. The results are already there, materialized in the personal stories of Kennisland's partners, funders, or users. Thus a tool is created to capture these personal stories. Kennisland and its partners/ funders/ users can use the tool to co-write, co-visualize, co-review, and publish the stories together. The story is written with a storytelling approach, using elements such as: setting/ context, characters (who are involved), problems (what problem is it trying to address), the beginning (how the project starts), the turning point (what kind of innovation is done), and the end (what have been changed, or what have been learned by both parties). Besides showing the benefits and values of social innovation and of Kennisland, these stories also serve as the evaluation and reflection tool for the parties involved to evaluate and reflect on the innovation process.

THE METALLURGICAL EXAMINATION OF A DEBASED SILVER COIN OF MAXIMINUS DAZA ISSUED BY CONSTANTINE I

ABSTRACTS Non‐destructive methods of chemical analysis always involve uncertainties, and in some circumstances they can be quite unsuitable for a true analysis. The greater value of a completely destructive chemical analysis and a comprehensive metallographic study for revealing the intentions of the moneyers and the entire metallurgical history of an ancient coin is demonstrated for the case of a rare silver‐coated debased silver issue of the early fourth century A.D.

Psychology of Psychopharmacology

The practice of giving medications for psychiatric conditions has inevitable psychological aspects. A central one is transference and countertransference, the unconscious and conscious emotions that arise between patient and clinician. Secondary gain can be another factor, with conscious non-medical goals on the part of the patient—as in other psychiatric settings, patients either come to treatment, or avoid it, because of reasons or factors which may have nothing to do with the actual treatment itself. Pill-seeking patients who come for clinical care sometimes aggressively seek medications. The social role of the psychiatric clinician is relevant as well, as patients in the Western world in particular go to mental health professionals for concerns that sometimes are non-medical in nature. In the past, people with personal problems unrelated to diseases often went to priests or other religious guides. Currently, in the industrialized West, fewer people follow those traditions and many instead seek the help of mental health professionals.
