Enhancing Clinical Named Entity Recognition Via Fine-Tuned Bert And Dictionary-Infused Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Soumya Challaru Sreenivas, Saqib Chowdhury, Mohammad Masum

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Clinical notes often contain unstructured text filled with abbreviations, non-standard terminology, and inconsistent phrasing, which pose significant challenges for automated medical information extraction. Named Entity Recognition (NER) plays a crucial role in structuring this data by identifying and categorizing key clinical entities such as symptoms, medications, and diagnoses. However, traditional and even transformer-based NER models often struggle with ambiguity and fail to produce clinically interpretable outputs. In this study, we present a hybrid two-stage framework that enhances medical NER by integrating a fine-tuned BERT model for initial entity extraction with a Dictionary-Infused Retrieval-Augmented Generation (DiRAG) module for terminology normalization. Our …

Stratified Hydrogen Combustion With Various Mixing Processes, Youngmin Ki, Heetae Yang, Jungho Justin Kim, Seong Young Lee, Joonsik Hwang, Choongsik Bae

Michigan Tech Publications

Hydrogen is recognized as a key alternative fuel for mitigating greenhouse-gas emissions owing to its high fuel efficiency and carbon-free combustion. In the stratified charge combustion (SCC) mode, ensuring optimal air-fuel mixing in the combustion chamber is crucial because the local equivalence ratio has a dominant influence on combustion characteristics. Therefore, this study aims to build a detailed understanding of stratified hydrogen combustion under various local equivalence ratios. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was used to measure the local equivalence ratios in hydrogen jets at different mixture-formation times (MFTs) and laser-ignition points (LIPs). The results showed that shorter MFTs induced highly …

Structural Basis For Mtorc1 Activation On The Lysosomal Membrane, Zhicheng Cui, Alessandra Esposito, Gennaro Napolitano, Andrea Ballabio, James H Hurley

Duncan NRI Faculty and Staff Publications

The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) integrates growth factor (GF) and nutrient signals to stimulate anabolic processes connected to cell growth and inhibit catabolic processes such as autophagy1,2. GF signalling through the tuberous sclerosis complex regulates the lysosomally localized small GTPase RAS homologue enriched in brain (RHEB)3. Direct binding of RHEB-GTP to the mTOR kinase subunit of mTORC1 allosterically activates the kinase by inducing a large-scale conformational change4. Here we reconstituted mTORC1 activation on membranes by RHEB, RAGs and Ragulator. Cryo-electron microscopy showed that RAPTOR and mTOR interact directly with the membrane. Full engagement of the membrane anchors …

Predictors Of All-Cause In-Hospital Mortality In Patients With Malignant Well-Differentiated Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors, Elvis Obomanu, Tarfa Verinumbe, Tinsae Anebo, Colton Jones, Claudia Dourado

Einstein Health Papers

BACKGROUND: Factors influencing in-hospital mortality in patients with well-differentiated gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) remain understudied, highlighting gaps in optimizing acute clinical outcomes. This study aimed to identify sociodemographic and clinical predictors of all-cause in-hospital mortality in this population.

METHODS: Using 2016 - 2020 data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS), patients with malignant well-differentiated GEP-NETs were identified via the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Sociodemographic and clinical variables (heart failure (HF), malnutrition, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and tumor site) were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression.

RESULTS: Among 5,642 patients (mean age …

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

We report direct measurements of changes in diving and movement behavior for 53 goose-beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) in relation to experimentally controlled mid-frequency (3–4 kHz) active sonar (MFAS) signals. These signals simulate powerful Navy sources that have been associated with multiple mortal stranding events for this species. We deployed a multi-scale combination of tags to monitor individual whales, including 50 long-duration (weeks), coarse-resolution satellite-transmitting tags and 3 short-duration (hours), high-resolution archival depth, orientation, and acoustic tags. We evaluated behavioral responses during 13 experimental trials (9 MFAS; 4 no-MFAS controls), resulting in 72 exposure events; some individuals were exposed in multiple …

Integrating Ai And Generative Ai Across The Curriculum: A Look At Three Subject Areas, Angie Su, Victoria Brenes, Stephanie L. Nelson

FDLA Journal

This paper examines how artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) models, such as ChatGPT and other GenAI tools, can be effectively integrated into mathematics, computer science, and English classrooms. Students must understand foundational AI concepts and how these technologies function to facilitate meaningful engagement with AI and GenAI. This paper provides practical strategies for math educators to introduce AI algorithms in a way that connects with students' existing knowledge and real-life experiences. Furthermore, it examines how GenAI can enhance learning, supporting students at each stage of coding, reading, and writing. The ethical considerations of GenAI usage, including potential overuse …

Uncalibrated Visual Servoing For Spatial Under-Constrained Cable-Driven Parallel Robots, Jarrett-Scott K. Jenny, Matt Marshall

Faculty Articles

Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) offer large workspaces with minimal infrastructure, but their control becomes difficult when the platform is under-constrained and sensing is limited. This paper investigates uncalibrated visual servoing (UVS) with a single monocular camera, asking whether simple global static Jacobians (GSJ) can be sufficient and how an adaptive Jacobian estimator behaves. Two platforms are evaluated: a three-cable (3C) platform and a redundant six-cable du-al-plane platform (RC). Motion-capture (MoCap) validation shows that redundancy improves stability and tracking by reducing platform tilt and making image errors correspond more directly to Cartesian motions. Across static and low-speed tracking tasks, GSJ proved …

Common Enforcement Manual For Heritage Crime At Sea: None, Jason Lowther, Michael Williams, Beccy Austin

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

This report summarises the results of a project to produce a Common Enforcement Manual (CEM) for Heritage Crime at Sea. The CEM provides easy access to the substance of the regulatory framework in England and bespoke operational protocol for observation, investigation, and interdiction (if permissible) and communication with relevant organisations. This will enable improved interagency collaboration to enhance the protection of underwater cultural heritage at a marginal cost, thereby generating sustainable added value for government in protecting a valuable and threatened national resource.

Background: Many attempts to validate gait pipelines that process sensor data to detect gait events have focused on the detection of initial contacts only in supervised settings using a single sensor. Objective: To evaluate the performance of a gait pipeline in detecting initial/final contacts using a step detection algorithm adaptive to different test settings, smartphone wear locations, and gait impairment levels. Methods: In GaitLab (ISRCTN15993728), healthy controls (HC) and people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS; Expanded Disability Status Scale 0.0-6.5) performed supervised Two-Minute Walk Test [2MWT] (structured in-lab overground and treadmill 2MWT) during two on-site visits carrying six smartphones and unsupervised …
