An Internet Of Medical Things (Iomt) Approach For Remote Assessment Of Head And Neck Cancer Patients, Ruchitha Chinthala Mar 2022

An Internet Of Medical Things (Iomt) Approach For Remote Assessment Of Head And Neck Cancer Patients, Ruchitha Chinthala

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Internet-of-Medical-Things (IoMT) allows for a smart healthcare system to remotely monitor and assess patient’s progress at home. Head and neck cancers (HNC) are treated with various treatment options which are associated with significant side effects, mainly shoulder dysfunction, and trismus (spasm of jaw muscles). However, measurement of patient’s progress, and side effects while undergoing treatment, is limited to evaluation received based on scheduled appointments. Development of strategies to enhance monitoring during follow-up period is needed for earlier identification of problems such as trismus and shoulder dysfunction. In this interdisciplinary research, for the first time, we develop an IoMT enabling application, …

Cause Analysis Of Vocs Hazards In Related Areas Based On Object Function Petri Net, Guangqiu Huang, Tiantian Wu

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The multi-resolution formal description based on discrete event system specification (DEVS) has the ability of hierarchical and structured description, but the description of the intelligent behavior inside the module is relatively lacking, while Agent-based modeling can describe the characteristics of individual perception, behavior, communication, cooperation, learning and evolution.

Discovery Of Quasi-Periodic Oscillations In The Persistent X-Ray Emission Of Accreting Binary X-Ray Pulsar Lmc X-4, Ketan Rikame, Biswajit Paul, Pragati Pradhan, K.T. Paul

Publications

We report the discovery of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) pulsar LMC X-4 in its non-flaring (persistent) state using observations with XMM–Newton. In addition to the 74 mHz coherent pulsations, the persistent emission light curve shows a QPO feature in the frequency range of 20–30 mHz. Quasi-periodic flares have been previously observed from LMC X-4 in observations made with Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). However, this is the first time QPOs have been observed in the persistent emission observations of LMC X-4. QPOs in X-ray binaries are generally thought to be related to the rotation of …

Research On Active Learning Method And Application Based On Covariance Matrix, Bowen Zhou, Weili Xiong Mar 2022

Research On Active Learning Method And Application Based On Covariance Matrix, Bowen Zhou, Weili Xiong

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Since the data collected from industrial processes often contain a large number of unlabeled samples, while the number of labeled samples is small and the cost of manual labeling is high, an active learning method based on covariance matrix is proposed. This method uses labeled samples to establish a Gaussian process regression model, and constructs the covariance matrix between the unlabeled samples, using the value of the determinant of the covariance matrix as an evaluation indicator. While selecting informative unlabeled samples, the similarity between samples is measured to avoid redundant addition of samples, which finally improves model prediction accuracy …

Path-Based Model For The Heterogeneous-Fleet Electric Vehicle Routing Problem With Partial Linear Recharging, Weiquan Wang, Ding Ding, Linsha Yan

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The heterogeneous-fleet electric vehicle routing problem with partial linear recharging is studied for realistic logistics distribution scenarios using multiple electric vehicle fleets with different transport capacities, driving ranges and acquisition costs. A path-based mixed integer linear model is proposed. The model enumerates the paths visited by all vehicle types between any non-charging nodes, eliminates the infeasible paths through capacity constraints and time window constraints, and eliminates the dominated paths by the dominance criterion. Compared with the traditional charging station replica-based model, this model eliminates the need to set the number of charging station replicas. The results show that the …

Global warming is causing an unprecedented loss of species and habitats worldwide. This is particularly apparent for tropical coral reefs, with an increasing number of reefs experiencing mass bleaching and mortality on an annual basis. As such, there is a growing need for a standardized experimental approach to rapidly assess the thermal limits of corals and predict the survival of coral species across reefs and regions. Using a portable experimental system, the Coral Bleaching Automated Stress System (CBASS), we conducted standardized 18 h acute thermal stress assays to quantitively determine the upper thermal limits of four coral species across the …
