Nvidia makes it easy to embed AI: The Jetson nano packs a lot of machine learning power into DIY projects [Hands on]
Year: 2020

When opportunity knocks, open the door: No one has taken heed of the adage like Nvidia, which has transformed itself from a company focused on catering to the needs of video gamers to one at the heart of the artificial intelligence revolution. In 2001, no one predicted that the same processor architecture developed to draw realistic explosions in 3D would be just the thing to power a renaissance in deep learning. But when Nvidia realized that academics were gobbling up its graphics cards, it responded, supporting researchers with the launch of the CUDA parallel computing software framework in 2006.
Analysis of in wheel motorized wheelchair cornering performance with electro mechanical co simulation
Year: 2015

As our society is aging, studies on the transport means of the elderly are being actively conducted. The present work is a study for developing a control algorithm for an in wheel motorized wheelchair equipped with an electric driving motor, which is an environmentally friendly device, on a two axis wheel and applying the developed algorithm to a multi body dynamics analysis model and an actual electric wheelchair in order to analyze the effect thereof. The goal of the control algorithm under development is to control the in wheel driving motor in order to track a more accurate direction and prevent runway. In the present study, we suggested a method for improving cornering stability by controlling yaw moment generated by the torque difference of the yaw rate, which the rate of rotation in the yaw direction through controlling the in wheel motors installed in each driving wheel and the turning wheel as the control objects. In order to verify the suggested algorithm, we conducted an electrical mechanical system co simulation by interworking with a multi body dynamics analysis system model and applied this to an actual in wheel electric wheelchair.

Developing an Impairment Loss Given Default Model Using Weighted Logistic Regression Illustrated on a Secured Retail Bank Portfolio
Year: 2019

This paper proposes a new method to model loss given default (LGD) for IFRS 9 purposes. We develop two models for the purposes of this paper LGD1 and LGD2. The LGD1 model is applied to the non default (performing) accounts and its empirical value based on a specified reference period using a lookup table. We also segment this across the most important variables to obtain a more granular estimate. The LGD2 model is applied to defaulted accounts and we estimate the model by means of an exposure weighted logistic regression. This newly developed LGD model is tested on a secured retail portfolio from a bank. We compare this weighted logistic regression (WLR) (under the assumption of independence) with generalised estimating equations (GEEs) to test the effects of disregarding the dependence among the repeated observations per account. When disregarding this dependence in the application of WLR, the standard errors of the parameter estimates are underestimated. However, the practical effect of this implementation in terms of model accuracy is found to be negligible. The main advantage of the newly developed methodology is the simplicity of this well known approach, namely logistic regression of binned variables, resulting in a scorecard format.
Mini mesh and Lichtenstein repair compared with a modified Kugel technique for femoral hernia: a randomised controlled trial.
Venue: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
Year: 2020

A modified Kugel patch is more expensive than ordinary mesh and demands a wide dissection of the preperitoneal space in femoral hernia repair. We therefore adopted a novel method using mini mesh and a Lichtenstein repair. This study compared mini mesh and Lichtenstein repair with a modified Kugel technique in patients with a primary unilateral femoral hernia.  Patients with unilateral femoral hernia were assigned randomly to undergo mini mesh and Lichtenstein repair (M group) or modified Kugel repair (K group) followed up at one week, three months, one year and two years. Demographics, hernia characteristics and operative outcomes of two groups were analysed.  A total of 48 patients in the K group and 49 participants in the M group completed follow up. The operation time for the M group (68.6 13.4 minutes) was significantly shorter than that of the K group (80.6 10.1 minutes; p=0.030) There was no significant difference between the two groups for chronic pain, foreign body feeling and quality of life, and no recurrence occurred.  Mini mesh and Lichtenstein repairs have reasonable results in the patients with femoral hernia in this study, with a reduced operation time compared with a modified Kugel repair.
Prognostic effects of abnormal DNA damage response protein expression in breast cancer
Venue: Breast Cancer Research and Treatment
Year: 2019

PurposeWe aimed to explore the expression of DNA damage response machinery proteins and their integrated prognostic value in different subgroups of breast cancer.MethodsExpression of NBS1, BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, and p53 was determined by immunohistochemistry in 419 surgically resected breast tumors.ResultsLoss of NBS1, BRCA1, ATM, and abnormal p53 expression was significantly associated with lower disease free survival rates. Abnormal DNA damage response protein expression, defined as loss of any one of NBS1, BRCA1, ATM, and/or abnormal p53 expression, was observed in 258 of 399 evaluable cases (64.7% and was significantly associated with higher tumor grade, larger tumor size, and ER negative, and/or PR negative status. Most patients with luminal B (86.1% HER2 enriched (94.4% and triple negative (86.8% breast cancers had abnormal DNA damage response protein expression. In contrast, abnormal DNA damage response protein expression was found in only 53.8% of luminal A tumors. Abnormal DNA damage response protein expression was associated with significantly lower 5 year disease free survival rates in all patients (95.6% vs. 84.8% p 0.001) as well as in the luminal A subgroup (97.4% vs. 89.0% p 0.011) In multivariate analysis, abnormal DNA damage response protein expression remained an independent predictor of shorter disease free survival for luminal A subtype (hazard ratio 3.14, 95% confidence interval 1.16 8.47; p 0.024).ConclusionAbnormal DNA damage response protein expression is found in most luminal B and HER2 enriched breast cancers as frequently as in triple negative breast cancer. In the luminal A subtype, abnormal DNA damage response protein expression is an independent prognostic marker.

Venue: Proceedings of SICE Annual Conference 2010
Year: 2010

In this paper, we firstly analyze the effects of the rebounds and aerodynamics for trajectory of a table tennis ball. We firstly analyze the effect of the aerodynamics with a criterion of evaluation, where the half area of the table is considered as 9 divided areas. Furthermore, the drag and lift coefficients are identified by assuming that the rotational velocity is invalid during the ball flying. With the identified coefficients, the modeling errors of the table and racket are secondly verified by the criterion mentioned previously. Some conclusions are finally shown.
Women, the Family, and the Fate of the Nation in American Anti Catholic Narratives, 1830 1860
Venue: Journal of the history of sexuality
Year: 2009

In august 1849 new York city police arrested Maria Monk for picking the pockets of her paramour. Newspapers in both Boston and New York reported that the arrest occurred near her "den," a euphemism for a brothel, in the Five Points district of New York.1 In the minds and eyes of cultured middle class men and women the Five Points was a despicable area of poor brothels, detestable crime, vermin, and disease best avoided by all respectable women. No virtuous family could survive within this "veritable sink of iniquitous pleasures."2 The degraded reputation of the area also permeated the popular literature of the day. Upon arriving in the Five Points, Peter Precise, the fictional hero in Ned Buntline's 1848 novel, The Mysteries and Miseries of New York, exclaimed: "Oh God! Can this be a Christian city?"3 The arrest of a prostitute in the Five Points district, therefore, did not typically arouse much interest or surprise. Maria Monk, however, was a special  Monk had captured the minds and imaginations of Americans in 1836, when, with the aid of Protestant ministers in New York, she published her autobiography, Awful Disclosures of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery} In her book Monk shocked the country by disclosing the terrible ordeals she had suffered among the nuns and priests in the Hotel Dieu Nunnery in Montreal,

The regularizing Levenberg Marquardt scheme for history matching of petroleum reservoirs
Venue: Computational Geosciences
Year: 2013

In this paper, we study on a history matching approach that consists of finding stable approximations to the problem of minimizing the weighted least squares functional that penalizes the misfit between the reservoir model predictions G(u) and noisy observations ye. In other words, we are interested in computing an approximation to the minimizer of 12||G 1/2(ye G(u)|Y2$\frac {1}{2}\vert \vert \Gamma 1/2}(y^\eta G(u)\vert \vert _{Y}{2} where G is the measurements error covariance, Y is the observation space, and X is a set of admissible parameters. This is an ill posed nonlinear inverse problem that we address by means of the regularizing Levenberg Marquardt scheme developed by Hanke (Inverse Probl. 13:79 95, 1997;  22(2):259 283, 2010) Under certain conditions on G, the theory of Hanke (Inverse Probl. 13:79 95, 1997;  22(2):259 283, 2010) ensures the convergence of the scheme to stable approximations to the inverse problem. We propose an implementation of the regularizing Levenberg Marquardt scheme that enforces prior knowledge on the geologic properties. In particular, the prior mean u \overline {u} is incorporated in the initial guess of the algorithm, and the prior error covariance C is enforced through the definition of the parameter space X. Our main goal is to numerically show that the proposed implementation of the regularizing Levenberg Marquardt scheme of Hanke is a robust method capable of providing accurate estimates of the geologic properties for small noise measurements. In addition, we provide numerical evidence of the convergence and regularizing results predicted by the theory of Hanke (Inverse Probl. 13:79 95, 1997;  22(2):259 283, 2010) for a prototypical oil water reservoir model. The performance for recovering the true permeability with the regularizing Levenberg Marquardt scheme is compared to the typical approach of computing the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator. In particular, we compare the proposed application of the regularizing Levenberg Marquardt (LM) scheme against the standard LM approach of Li et al. (SPE J. 8(4):328 340, 2003) and Reynolds et al. (2008) for computing the MAP. Our numerical experiments suggest that the history matching approach based on iterative regularization is robust and could potentially be used to improve further on various methodologies already proposed as effective tools for history matching in petroleum reservoirs.

Self Regulation of Anterior Insula with Real Time fMRI and Its Behavioral Effects in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: A Feasibility Study
Venue: PloS one
Year: 2015

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common and chronic condition that can have disabling effects throughout the patient's lifespan. Frequent symptoms among OCD patients include fear of contamination and washing compulsions. Several studies have shown a link between contamination fears, disgust over reactivity, and insula activation in OCD. In concordance with the role of insula in disgust processing, new neural models based on neuroimaging studies suggest that abnormally high activations of insula could be implicated in OCD psychopathology, at least in the subgroup of patients with contamination fears and washing compulsions.  In the current study, we used a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) based on real time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMRI) to aid OCD patients to achieve down regulation of the Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) signal in anterior insula. Our first aim was to investigate whether patients with contamination obsessions and washing compulsions can learn to volitionally decrease (down regulate) activity in the insula in the presence of disgust/anxiety provoking stimuli. Our second aim was to evaluate the effect of down regulation on clinical, behavioural and physiological changes pertaining to OCD symptoms. Hence, several pre and post training measures were performed, i.e. confronting the patient with a disgust/anxiety inducing real world object (Ecological Disgust Test) and subjective rating and physiological responses (heart rate, skin conductance level) of disgust towards provoking pictures.  Results of this pilot study, performed in 3 patients (2 females) show that OCD patients can gain self control of the BOLD activity of insula, albeit to different degrees. In two patients positive changes in behaviour in the EDT were observed following the rtfMRI trainings. Behavioural changes were also confirmed by reductions in the negative valence and in the subjective perception of disgust towards symptom provoking images.  Although preliminary, results of this study confirmed that insula down regulation is possible in patients suffering from OCD, and that volitional decreases of insula activation could be used for symptom alleviation in this disorder.

Venue: AACN advanced critical care
Year: 2019

This is an updated, comprehensive review of the psychometric properties of behavioral pain assessment tools for use with noncommunicative, critically ill adults. Articles were searched in 5 health databases. A total of 106 articles were analyzed, including 54 recently published papers. Nine behavioral pain assessment tools developed for noncommunicative critically ill adults and 4 tools developed for other non communicative populations were included. The scale development process, reliability, validity, feasibility, and clinical utility were analyzed using a 0 to 20 scoring system, and quality of evidence was also evaluated. The Behavioral Pain Scale, the Behavioral Pain Scale Nonintubated, and the Critical Care Pain Observation Tool remain the tools with the strongest psychometric properties, with validation testing having been conducted in multiple countries and various languages. Other tools may be good alternatives, but additional research on them is necessary.
Development of a System Dynamics Computer Model for the Simulation of the Effects of an Alternate Water Source Development Project on the Water Supply Systems Management and Customer Satisfaction
Year: 2018

In this paper, a System Dynamics (SD) computer simulation model was developed to assess the effects of developing and providing an alternate water source on the management of a water supply system and customer satisfaction. A water supply service satisfaction index was also developed to estimate the level of overall customer satisfaction on water supply service. Data from the Busan water supply authority and the Korea Development Institute regarding the Nakdong riverbank filtration development were utilized for the construction of the model. Major managerial indicators of the system under study were analyzed by the simulations of the model that incorporates the development of the alternate water source for Busan. The developed SD model and the water service index may be further utilized as a tool that can assess the extent and timing of an additional service improvement project.
Numerical simulation of gas recovery from natural gas hydrate using multi branch wells: A three dimensional model
Year: 2021

Natural gas hydrate, a potential energy source, is clean and occurs abundantly in nature. Enhancing the gas production efficiency from gas hydrate bearing sediments (GHBS) is of great significance to promote its industrial development. In this study, the radial jet drilling (RJD) technology is innovatively proposed to stimulate oceanic hydrate reservoirs. With an open source simulator HydrateResSim, a 3D model is constructed based on the geological data from the SH7 site in the South China Sea. The hydrates exploitation performance using the combination of radial wells and depressurization is studied for the first time. Results indicate that radial wells can significantly enhance the gas production rate in the early stages of production. The hydrate recovery factor and the radial branch length are linearly related. However, the application of radial wells seems incapable of prolonging the gas production life cycle. By analyzing the multi physical response of GHBS induced by depressurization, the stimulation mechanisms of radial wells are characterized as enlarged drainage area, enhanced pressure drop propagation, and increased geothermal heat flow. This work verified the capability of RJD in promoting hydrate extraction. Also, it provides insights into the potential applications of multi branch wells in field trials of hydrate production.

Linear Time FPT Algorithms via Network Flow
Venue: SODA
Year: 2014

In the area of parameterized complexity, to cope with NP Hard problems, we introduce a parameter k besides the input size n, and we aim to design algorithms (called FPT algorithms) that run in O(f(k)nd) time for some function f(k) and constant d. Though FPT algorithms have been successfully designed for many problems, typically they are not sufficiently fast because of huge f(k) and d. In this paper, we give FPT algorithms with small f(k) and d for many important problems including Odd Cycle Transversal and Almost 2 SAT. More specifically, we can choose f(k) as a single exponential (4k) and d as one, that is, linear in the input size. To the best of our knowledge, our algorithms achieve linear time complexity for the first time for these problems. To obtain our algorithms for these problems, we consider a large class of integer programs, called BIP2. Then we show that, in linear time, we can reduce BIP2 to Vertex Cover Above LP preserving the parameter k, and we can compute an optimal LP solution for Vertex Cover Above LP using network flow. Then, we perform an exaustive search by fixing half integral values in the optimal LP solution for Vertex Cover Above LP. A bottleneck here is that we need to recompute an LP optimal solution after branching. To address this issue, we exploit network flow to update the optimal LP solution in linear time.
