Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Traditional source search algorithms are prone to local optimization, and source search methods combining crowdsourcing and human-AI collaboration suffer from low cost-efficiency due to human intervention. In this study, we proposed a lightweight human-AI collaboration framework that utilized multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) to achieve visual-language conversion, combined chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning to optimize decision-making, and constructed a heuristic strategy that incorporated probability distribution filtering and a balance between exploitation and exploration. The effectiveness of the framework was verified by experiments. The human-AI alignment heuristic strategy with large language model adaptation design provides a new idea to reduce manual …

Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations
Virus filtration is an essential unit operation used to validate clearance of adventitious virus during the manufacture of biopharmaceutical products such as monoclonal antibodies. Obtaining at least a 10,000-fold reduction in virus particles in the permeate is challenging as monoclonal antibodies are about half the size of the virus particles. Minute virus of mice, FDA-recommended model adventitious virus, was labeled with a fluorescent dye. Laser scanning confocal microscopy was used to determine the location of virus entrapment within the virus filtration membrane. Three different hollow fiber membranes made of regenerated cellulose and polyvinylidene fluoride were tested. Feed streams consisted of …

Detection Of The Linac Jaw Face Angle Misalignment Using High Energy Electron Beam Symmetry, Song Gao, Andres Cibrian, Jared Ohrt, Peter Balter
Faculty, Staff and Student Publications
Purpose: To demonstrate the usage of a high energy electron beam symmetry measured at different collimator angles to detect jaws face angle misalignments on Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators (linac) during acceptance and commissioning processes.
Methods: During the linac acceptance, all beams were steered to a symmetric shape with the gantry and collimator at 0°. We noted that the symmetries of higher energies electrons (e.g., 16 MeV, 20 MeV) changed over 2% when measured with the collimator at 90° and/or 270° for two linacs commissioned within 5-months of each other. Misaligned applicators were ruled out as the cause of this issue. …

BACKGROUND: Sex differences in the association between vascular factors and cognitive outcomes remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the associations of blood pressure metrics (hypertension, systolic blood pressure [SBP), pulse pressure, ankle and brachial pressures, and ankle to brachial pressure index [ABI]) with the risk of cognitive decline and dementia.
METHODS: We conducted a population-based longitudinal analysis using data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study (begun in 1987-1989) in the United States. We analyzed a total of 12,268 participants aged 45-64 years who had validated exposure measurements, cognitive function tests (first administrated 1990-1992), and followed up for incidence …

Classification of skin lesions can be challenging because of the subtle variation on the skin surface due to the appearance of these lesions. In the other hand, the digital dermoscopy has been widely used by dermatologist to diagnose cancer. For accurate detection, the clinicians should have a lot of experiences, but human nature is prone to error, forgetfulness, tension, and speed in diagnosis, all of which can affect the accuracy of detection. For these reasons, automated skin lesion classification has been used by many researchers to help dermatologists in making the right and accurate decision during diagnosis. A preprocessing image …

Volumetric Video With Skateboarders: Creative Opportunities Of Working With An Emerging Screen Technology Beyond The Studio, Dani Landau, Diego Zamora
School of Art, Design and Architecture
Volumetric video is an emerging moving image technology in which each pixel is recorded witha location in three dimensions. Volumetric videos are normally created in studios using rigs made upof multiple cameras with LiDAR sensors and computers that combine the moving images. We tookthis technology out of the studio to explore variations of this technique in public skateparks. We foundthat as the technology is still in developing stages there are creative constraints: the lidar cameras sense at a limited distance to the subject, the image is of a relatively low resolution, and there are often glitches in theimage. In our …

Earthworms are considered ecosystem engineers, playing an essential role in soil fertility. Heavy metals are supposed to remain linked to soil for a very long time and can bio-accumulate swiftly in soil microbes, posing a severe threat to the environment. The current study was designed to investigate the bio-accumulation of heavy metals in Lumbricus terrestris and the impact of soil pH and texture on earthworm morphology and densities near industrial areas of the district of Okara, Punjab, Pakistan. The samples were collected from the locations of different industries using the quadrate method and analyzed for heavy metal accumulation by using …

The Gamification Of Online Dating: Exploring The Intersection Of Play, Choice, And Romance In Digital Spaces, Emma Taylor
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
The rise of online dating platforms has transformed the way individuals approach romantic relationships, with many users increasingly engaging in these platforms as a form of entertainment in addition to finding meaningful connections. Central to this shift is the growing phenomenon of gamification, the incorporation of game-like elements, into non-game contexts. This article proposes to explore the gamification of online dating, examining how these game mechanics shape user behaviours, influence romantic choices, and impact relationship outcomes. By analysing the ways in which dating platforms integrate game-inspired features, this study will also assess the implications of gamified experiences for the nature …

Jupiter Mass Binary Objects Show A Minimum Acceleration, Mike Mcculloch
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
Forty-two Jupiter Mass Binary Objects (JuMBOs) have been discovered in the Trapezium Cluster: either brown dwarf stars or planets mutually orbiting in pairs. Here it is shown that, just as in galaxies and wide binaries, the mutual orbits of the objects in each of these twin systems deviate from the Newtonian and level off around a mutual acceleration of 2��2/Θ=2×10−10 m/s2 supporting the minimum acceleration predicted by Quantised Inertia (QI), a theory that attributes inertial mass to an interaction between information horizons and quantum fields and predicts galaxy rotation without the need for dark matter. QI further predicts that the …
