Ventricle Surface Reconstruction from Cardiac MR Slices Using Deep Learning
Venue: FIMH
Year: 2019

Reconstructing 3D ventricular surfaces from 2D cardiac MR data is challenging due to the sparsity of the input data and the presence of interslice misalignment. It is usually formulated as a 3D mesh fitting problem often incorporating shape priors and smoothness regularization, which might affect accuracy when handling pathological cases. We propose to formulate the 3D reconstruction as a volumetric mapping problem followed by isosurfacing from dense volumetric data. Taking advantage of deep learning algorithms, which learn to predict each voxel label without explicitly defining the shapes, our method is capable of generating anatomically meaningful surfaces with great flexibility. The sparse 3D volumetric input can process contours with any orientations and thus can utilize information from multiple short and long axis views. In addition, our method can provide correction of motion artifacts. We have validated our method using a statistical shape model on reconstructing 3D shapes from both spatially consistent and misaligned input data.
Book Review: Natural Language Processing with Python by Steven Bird, Ewan Klein, and Edward Loper
Venue: CL
Year: 2010

This book comes with "batteries included" (a reference to the phrase often used to explain the popularity of the Python programming language) It is the companion book to an impressive open source software library called the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) written in Python. NLTK combines language processing tools (tokenizers, stemmers, taggers, syntactic parsers, semantic analyzers) and standard data sets (corpora and tools to access the corpora in an efficient and uniform manner) Although the book builds on the NLTK library, it covers only a relatively small part of what can be done with it. The combination of the book with NLTK, a growing system of carefully designed, maintained, and documented code libraries, is an extraordinary resource that will dramatically influence the way computational linguistics is taught. The book attempts to cater to a large audience: It is a textbook on computational linguistics for science and engineering students; it also serves as practical documentation for the NLTK library, and it finally attempts to provide an introduction to programming and algorithm design for humanities students. I have used the book and its earlier on line versions to teach advanced undergraduate and graduate students in computer science in the past eight years. The book adopts the following approach:
Numerical and experimental investigations on mooring loads of a marine fish farm in waves and current
Year: 2018

A realistic aquaculture fish farm system in both regular and irregular waves is investigated by numerical simulations and model tests. The main purpose is to develop a reliable numerical tool and in this respect to investigate the survival conditions of the system. The structural and hydrodynamic modelings of the system are briefly introduced. Numerical sensitivity analysis is performed to investigate which physical parameters are dominant when modeling the system. The considered fish farm comprises a floating collar with two concentric tubes, a flexible net cage including a cylindrical part and a conical part with a center point weight at the bottom, and a sinker tube attached directly to the net. The system is moored with a complex mooring system with bridle lines, frame lines and anchor lines, supported by buoys. The mooring loads in the front two anchor lines and bridle lines are investigated in detail. Numerical results are first validated by the experimental data. Both numerical and experimental results show that one of the bridle lines experiences larger load than the rest of the mooring lines, which is surprising. Then a sensitivity analysis is carried out. The mooring loads are not sensitive to the majority of the parameters. The flow reduction factor in the rear part of the net is the most important parameter for the anchor loads. Modeling the floating collar as a rigid body has a small effect on the anchor loads but not for the bridle lines as it will alter the force distribution between bridles. The mooring loads are not sensitive to the wave load model for the floating collar in both regular and irregular seas and modeling the floating collar as elastic with zero frequency hydrodynamic coefficients is enough to give reliable results. Finally, the survival conditions of the fish farms with different set ups is studied. Numerical results indicate that the dominant limitation to move the conventional fish farms to more exposed sea regions is the large volume reduction of the net cage. The existing mooring system can be applied in offshore regions as long as the bridle lines are properly designed. The maximum stress in the floating collar is moderate compared with the yield stress.
The Tumor Microenvironment Innately Modulates Cancer Progression.
Venue: Cancer research
Year: 2019

Cancer development and progression occurs in concert with alterations in the surrounding stroma. Cancer cells can functionally sculpt their microenvironment through the secretion of various cytokines, chemokines, and other factors. This results in a reprogramming of the surrounding cells, enabling them to play a determinative role in tumor survival and progression. Immune cells are important constituents of the tumor stroma and critically take part in this process. Growing evidence suggests that the innate immune cells (macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, innate lymphoid cells, myeloid derived suppressor cells, and natural killer cells) as well as adaptive immune cells (T cells and B cells) contribute to tumor progression when present in the tumor microenvironment (TME) Cross talk between cancer cells and the proximal immune cells ultimately results in an environment that fosters tumor growth and metastasis. Understanding the nature of this dialog will allow for improved therapeutics that simultaneously target multiple components of the TME, increasing the likelihood of favorable patient outcomes.

TEAC 308: Teaching Mathematics in the Elementary School A Peer Review of Teaching Project Benchmark Portfolio
Year: 2017

This portfolio outlines four aspects of the peer review of teaching project, which focused on TEAC 308: Teaching Mathematics  The first aspect was the explicit articulation of student learning objectives drawn from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All (2014) During this project, the nine objectives were aligned with instructional opportunities and assignments with those objectives. In addition to defining these objectives, the portfolio describes analysis of three components: student progress toward developing and demonstrating productive beliefs about aspects of teaching and learning mathematics, student progress across three lesson plans assignments, and appropriateness of workload in the course. Findings and reflection across the four aspects of the project inform future changes to the course which will include a shift to portfolio based assessment, additional and more purposeful emphasis on curriculum and assessment throughout the course, and continued systematic examination of students' progress toward the newly articulated learning objectives.
Efficacy of Sight Translation in English Japanese Consecutive Interpreting Training in a University Course
Year: 2020

A special type of simultaneous interpreting, sight translation has been a topic of particular interest as a variant of written and oral translation. The association of sight translation and simultaneous interpreting has been discussed for many pedagogical and professional purposes. However, few studies based on empirical evaluation have investigated the efficacy of sight translation as a comprehension component in relation to consecutive interpreting. This study examined the effectiveness of intensive sight translation activities for the subsequent training in consecutive interpreting of students registered on an English Japanese interpreting course at a university in Japan. Data analysis revealed the efficacy of sight translation practice but showed that it had no significant impact on consecutive interpreting. Several exploratory analyses were conducted that may provide insight into the characteristics of the two distinct modalities by presenting the differences in processing capacities needed by the two respective modes.
Highly efficient Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells grown on flexible polymer films.
Venue: Nature materials
Year: 2011

Solar cells based on polycrystalline Cu(In,Ga)Se(2) absorber layers have yielded the highest conversion efficiency among all thin film technologies, and the use of flexible polymer films as substrates offers several advantages in lowering manufacturing costs. However, given that conversion efficiency is crucial for cost competitiveness, it is necessary to develop devices on flexible substrates that perform as well as those obtained on rigid substrates. Such comparable performance has not previously been achieved, primarily because polymer films require much lower substrate temperatures during absorber deposition, generally resulting in much lower efficiencies. Here we identify a strong composition gradient in the absorber layer as the main reason for inferior performance and show that, by adjusting it appropriately, very high efficiencies can be obtained. This implies that future manufacturing of highly efficient flexible solar cells could lower the cost of solar electricity and thus become a significant branch of the photovoltaic industry.

16x16 Bit Binary Multiplier Using High Speed Modified Compressor
Venue: Micro and Nanosystems
Year: 2021

For higher order multiplications, a huge number of adders or compressors are used to perform the addition of the partial products. Hence, the area and the propagation delay will increase. Researchers are trying to reduce the number of additions of partial products. In this paper, different modified compressors have been proposed and based on these compressors, 16x16 bit binary multiplier has been discussed. The proposed design provides better area, power consumption, critical path delay and less number of transistor counts when compared to other designs using the conventional compressors. Here, the proposed method has been used in the Wallace tree multiplier or Dadda tree multiplier. The compressor used here has been implemented using Microwind DSCH 3.8 lite. The modified compressor makes the multiplier faster and reduces the number of addition of partial products.

Year: 2018

This tutorial review focuses on the use of ICP MS based techniques for the analysis of metal containing nanoparticles and colloids. Within the first part the capabilities of "stand alone" ICP MS for the analysis of total metal contents and the suitability of stable isotopes for nanoparticle tracking (stable isotope labelling and naturally occurring variation in isotope ratios) are introduced (Chapter 3) Special focus was given on single particle ICP MS (sp ICP MS) mode (Chapter 4) Upon a brief introduction into the theoretical concept, critical aspects such as calibration strategies, dwell time as well as ionic background were discussed and practical advice is given. References to current data assessment sheets are provided. Furthermore, a brief chapter on general sample preparation aspects is included within the first part (Chapter 2) The second part is dedicated to fractionation/separation systems, such as field flow fractionation (FFF) hydrodynamic chromatography (HDC) high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled on line with ICP MS detection for metal based nanoparticle and colloid analysis (Chapter 5) Each section starts with an introduction into the theoretical concept of the respective fractionation/separation system, followed by practical hints regarding method development (e.g. selection of appropriate carrier/mobile phase, membrane/stationary phase) as well as critical aspects and limitations. Particular attention is payed to laser ablation ICP MS (LA ICP MS) for spatially resolved nanoparticle analysis. Each section concludes with selected application examples of the respective analytical technique from the most relevant fields of nanoparticle use or exposure (consumer products, food, medicine and environment) highlighting the performance of each technique in metal based nanoparticle analysis. Chapter 6 is dedicated to aspects of quality assurance. Various critical points regarding method development and validation, mass balance, size calibration and quantification from the previous sections are revisited, discussed and practical advice is given. Finally, the authors provide some concluding remarks and future perspectives (Chapter 7) Furthermore, a flow chart is included as a "hands on" overview on all ICP MS based techniques discussed within this tutorial review intended as a "method decision tool" for users.
Multiobjective Optimization Framework for Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control Vehicles in the Automated Vehicle Platooning Environment
Year: 2017

Automated longitudinal control technology has been tested through cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) which is envisioned to improve highway mobility drastically by forming a vehicle platoon with short headway while maintaining stable traffic flow under disturbances. Compared with previous research efforts with the pseudomultiobjective optimization process, this paper proposes an automated longitudinal control framework based on multiobjective optimization (MOOP) for CACC by taking into consideration four optimization objectives: mobility, safety, driver comfort, and fuel consumption. Of the target time headways that have been tested, the proposed CACC platoon control method achieved the best performance with 0.9 and 0.6 s target time headways. Compared with a non optimization based CACC, the MOOP CACC achieved 98% 93% 42% and 33% objective value reductions of time headway deviation, unsafe condition, jitter, and instantaneous fuel consumption, respectively. In comparison with a single objective optimization based approach, which optimized only one of the four proposed objectives, it was shown that the MOOP based CACC maintained a good balance between all of the objective functions and achieved Pareto optimality for the entire platoon.

Motivational Stage at CGM Initiation Is Less Important than Timing of CGM Initiation in Predicting CGM Adherence
Year: 2018

Readiness for making behavioral changes is a key factor determining success in the adoption of technologies like CGM in type 1 diabetes (T1D) SOCRATES (Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale Diabetes Version) can classify individuals into 1 of 5 motivational stages: Precontemplation, Contemplation, Determination, Action and Maintenance. It was used in the CGM TIME Trial, a multicenter pediatric RCT comparing simultaneous pump and CGM "SIM" group) to initiation of CGM 6 months later "DEL" group) (MiniMed Veo (tm) System)  To examine the association of SOCRATES scores with 1) A1C at trial entry and 2) CGM adherence and change in A1C 6 months after CGM initiation.  97/99 eligible children aged 10 18 years and 136/141 eligible parents completed SOCRATES at trial entry and 6 months. Multivariable linear regression tested the association between motivational stage and 1) child's A1C at trial entry, and 2) change in A1C and CGM adherence 6 months after CGM initiation, adjusted for randomization group, gender, age, and diabetes duration.  At trial entry, mean adjusted A1C was 1.02% lower for children in Precontemplation than those in Action (p  SOCRATES scores were associated with A1C at trial entry, but did not predict future CGM adherence or change in A1C. SOCRATES was a poor measure of readiness for change in children with T1D and their parents who were participating in a clinical trial. CGM adherence was related more to timing of CGM initiation than motivational stage. Disclosure K.
A case study on pile relaxation in dilative silts
Year: 2011

In the mid 1980s the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge was built in Rhode Island spanning the west passage of Narragansett Bay. The bridge was to be founded primarily on pre stressed concrete piles acting as friction piles. A test pile program was conducted at the beginning of construction and the measured capacity of the piles was significantly lower than predicted values. This led to significant delays in construction, cost overruns, and ultimately led to a change in the design of the foundations. The overall objective of this thesis is to evaluate the results of the test pile program and attempt to understand why the measured capacities were so much lower than design values.
Predictors of occupational stress and well being in First Line Nurse Managers: A cross sectional survey study.
Venue: International journal of nursing studies
Year: 2017

First line nurse managers have a pivotal role in the organization of health care but have to deal with significant job related issues and problems in a changing and challenging health care environment. As their new roles are complex and often unclear, it might be expected that these professionals are at risk for occupational stress.  The objective of this study is to analyze and describe relationships between job characteristics, and also interdisciplinary conflicts with physicians as potential predictors of occupational well being (job satisfaction, psychosomatic distress, turnover intention, work engagement and burnout) DESIGN this study had a cross sectional design and used a web based survey.  This study was conducted in 2015 in 11 Belgian (Flemish) hospitals. All First line nurse managers were eligible (N=481) and 318 respondents (66.1% agreed to take part in the survey. A hierarchical regression analyses was applied to analyze relationships between predictors and outcomes. RESULTS job demand and job control measures were predictive of all outcomes. Collaboration with doctors only predicted job satisfaction and turnover intention. Social support from management was predictive of turnover intention. Social support from colleague first line nurse managers was not predictive. Social support from the staff members (team) was however a strong predictor of all stress outcomes.  Job demands, job control and social support of the team and management were all important predictors of occupational well being in first line nurse managers. All of these variables can be influenced by hospital management to improve the work conditions of this professional group in order to retain their workforce.
