In traditional neuropsychological tests, executive functions (EFs) are typically evaluated using paper and pencil or computer-based sit-down tasks. However, a new assessment framework, the Automated Test of Embodied Cognition (ATEC), has been developed to measure EFs and embodied cognition through physical tasks. This paper proposes integrating the ATEC system with virtual reality (VR) to evaluate and diagnose attention-deficit disorders using embodied cognition (EC) principles. The VR system will utilize Meta Quest 2 VR headsets and controllers with motion sensors to accurately capture users’ physical movements. The collected motion data will be transmitted to a remote server for evaluation through machine …

We present a method for extracting high-level semantic information through successful landmark detection using feature fusion between RGB and depth information. We focus on the classification of specific labels (open path, humans, staircases, doorways, obstacles) in the encountered scene, which can be a fundamental source of information enhancing scene understanding, and acting towards the safe navigation of the mobile unit. Experiments are conducted using a manual wheelchair equipped with a stereo RGB-D camera that captures image instances consisting of multiple labels before fine-tuning on a pre-trained Vision Transformer (ViT).

Detecting Cognitive Fatigue In Subjects With Traumatic Brain Injury From Fmri Scans Using Self-Supervised Learning, Ashish Jaiswal, Ramesh Babu Ashwin, Zadeh Mohammad Zaki, Glenn Wylie, Fillia Makedon

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

Understanding cognitive states from fMRI data have yet to be investigated to its full extent due to its complex nature. In this work, the problem of understanding cognitive fatigue among TBI patients has been formulated as a multi-class classification problem. We built a Spatio-temporal encoder model using convolutions and LSTMs as the building blocks to extract spatial features and to model the 4D nature of fMRI scans. To learn a better representation of the data and the condition, we used a self-supervised learning technique called "Contrastive Learning" to pretrain our encoder with a public dataset BOLD5000 and further fine-tuned our …

Mental or Cognitive fatigue (CF) is the exhaustion of the neurological system brought on by prolonged cognitive tasks. It causes performance to decline in day-to-day life. Throughout this paper, we present an experimental setup where we artificially induce cognitive fatigue to participants. During the experimental process, we collected electroencephalogram (EEG) signals from the subjects that participated in the experiment. The goal of the study is to detect the presence or absence of cognitive fatigue. Our proposed solution was able to classify cognitive fatigue of the subjects with an accuracy of 88.17%.

Evaluation Of Video Compression Methods For Network Transmission On Diverse Data: A Case Study, Roman Strukov, Vassilis Athitsos

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

There is a variety of video compression methods proposed in the literature. Choosing the best method for a specific type of video can involve a lot of experimentation and trial-and-error. This paper offers a quantitative evaluation of three popular compression methods, namely HEVC, MJPEG, MJPEG2000. Our evaluation uses five different types of video data that are commonly transmitted over a network. We use two evaluation metrics, namely PSNR and encoding time. While our evaluation is still preliminary, and will eventually be expanded to include more compression methods, larger datasets, and more metrics, it already includes features not encountered in evaluations …

Intelligen Superpro Designer Files For Economic Simulation Of Batch And Continuous Aqueous Two-Phase Purification For Viral Products, Natalie Nold, Eric Pearson, Caryn L. Heldt

Michigan Tech Research Data

Vaccine manufacturing strategies that lower capital and production costs could improve vaccine access by reducing the cost per dose and encouraging localized manufacturing. Continuous processing is increasingly utilized to drive lower costs in biological manufacturing by requiring fewer capital and operating resources. Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) are a liquid-liquid extraction technique that enables continuous processing for viral vectors. To date, no economic comparison between viral vector purifications using traditional methods and ATPS has been published. In this work, economic simulations of traditional chromatography-based virus manufacturing were compared to simulations of ATPS-based virus manufacturing for the same product output in both …

Not Western, Not Urban: For Queer People In India, Love Is More Than Just Love, Debangana Chatterjee

Excerpt: “Seeing like a state, it is a piece of paper that carries the evidence of ‘being related’ to a partner and the blindness of law does not see the person behind. Put otherwise, obliviousness is a luxury of those who did not stand in those shoes of grief. Hard-hitting as it is, it is not to sensationalise but to rationalise marriage as a necessary recognition that protects individuals from social scorns and state-centric deprivations.”

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness in working-age adults and remains an important public health issue worldwide. Here we demonstrate that the expression of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is increased in patients with DR and animal models of diabetic eye disease. STING has been previously shown to regulate cell senescence and inflammation, key contributors to the development and progression of DR. To investigate the mechanism whereby STING contributes to the pathogenesis of DR, diabetes was induced in STING-KO mice and STINGGT (loss-of-function mutation) mice, and molecular alterations and pathological changes in the retina were characterized. We …

Turbohash: A Hash Table For Key-Value Store On Persistent Memory, Xingsheng Zhao, Chen Zhong, Song Jiang Jun 2023

Turbohash: A Hash Table For Key-Value Store On Persistent Memory, Xingsheng Zhao, Chen Zhong, Song Jiang

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

Major efforts on the design of persistent hash table on a non-volatile byte-addressable memory focus on efficient support of crash consistency with fence/flush primitives as well on non-disruptive table rehashing operations. When a data entry in a hash bucket cannot be updated with one atomic write, out-of-place update, instead of in-place update, is required to avoid data corruption after a failure. This often causes extra fences/flushes. Meanwhile, when open addressing techniques, such as linear probing, are adopted for high load factor, the scope of search for a key can be large. Excessive use of fence/flush and extended key search paths …

The ability to visually discern shape, form, and value is fundamental to observational drawing. However, developing this skill requires a drawer to perceive a “raw” version of the scene being drawn, often referred to as regaining the innocence of the eye. This work investigates how interactive projected light cues can be used to alter the perception of drawing objects and understand how users might control their own perception. We introduce an augmented reality system capable of dynamically projecting interactive light cues onto objects within a live drawing studio. We present the design of three cues that address challenging percepts for …

This paper presents DroneChase, an automated sensing system that monitors acoustic and visual signals captured from a nearby flying drone to track its trajectory in both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight conditions under mobility settings. Although drone monitoring has been an active research topic, most of the existing monitoring systems focus only on line-of-sight conditions and do not perform well under blockage conditions. Inspired by the human ability to localize objects in the environment using both visual and auditory signals, we develop a mobile system that integrates the information from multiple modalities into a reference scenario and performs real-time drone detection and …

Effects Of A Repeated Reading Intervention Delivered Online To Upper Elementary Students, John Elwood Romig, Ashley Jetton

SAGE Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

Repeated reading is an intervention with strong evidence for improving students' oral reading fluency. However, little research has examined the use of this intervention outside of traditional school contexts. School closures due to COVID-19 forced schools and teacher preparation programs to create new approaches to evidence-based reading interventions that could be delivered online. This study examined the effects of a repeated reading fluency intervention delivered synchronously online. A single-case repeated acquisition design examined the intervention's effects on three upper elementary students' correct word reading fluency, defined as the number of words read correctly per minute. Visual analysis indicated repeated readings …

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

In this paper, we study the robustness of lidar-based 3D detection & tracking of UAVs. We investigate the effective detection ranges of different UAVs based on their construction materials and the effective range & 3D detection performance of a specific UAV at different atmospheric visibility conditions. Further, we examine to what extent lidar-based systems can track a drone's trajectories via real-world experiments and point cloud data processing. Using a COTS lidar-based system (Livox Mid-40), we confirm that we can track UAVs in a fine-grained manner at up to 80m distance under various environmental conditions (i.e., morning, afternoon, and night).

Reading Black As Orange: Supreme Court Of India On Section 173(4) Of Crpc, Nanditta Batra

Popular Media

Can the Supreme Court of India get the bare text of a provision wrong? To err is human, but when the judges of the top court in our country go wrong with something as basic as the words of a statute, it definitely cannot be overlooked as a mere error. It is one thing to interpret the provisions of a law and another to conjure up something in place of the black letters of law. No constitutional lens empowers a judge to read black as orange.
