YouGenMap: a web platform for dynamic multi-comparative mapping and visualization of genetic maps.

Comparative genetic maps are used in examination of genome organization, detection of conserved gene order, and exploration of marker order variations. YouGenMap is an open-source web tool that offers dynamic comparative mapping capability of users' own genetic mapping between 2 or more map sets. Users' genetic map data and optional gene annotations are uploaded, either publically or privately, as long as they follow our template which is available in several standard file formats. Data is parsed and loaded into MySQL relational database to be displayed and compared against users' genetic maps or other public data available on YouGenMap. With the highly interactive GUIs, all public data on YouGenMap are maps available for visualization, comparison, search, filtration and download. YouGenMap web tool is available on the website (http://conifergdb.miamioh.edu/yougenmap) with the source-code repository at (http://sourceforge.net/projects/yougenmap/?source=directory).

Interactive visualization system to analyze corrugated millimeter-waveguide component of ECH in nuclear fusion with FDTD simulation

We have simulated distribution of electromagnetic waves through the system composed of miter bends by Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulation. We develop the interactive visualization system using a new interactive GUI system which is composed of the virtual reality system and android tablet to analyze the FDTD simulation. The effect of the waveguide system with grooves have been investigated to quantitatively by visualization system. Comparing waveguide system with grooves and without grooves, grooves have been confirmed to suppress the surface current at the metal surface.

RMarriesNetLogo: Introduction to theRNetLogoPackage

The RNetLogo package delivers an interface to embed the agent-based modeling platform NetLogo into the R environment with headless (no graphical user interface) or interactive GUI mode. It provides functions to load models, execute commands, push values, and to get values from NetLogo reporters. Such a seamless integration of a widely used agent-based modeling platform with a well-known statistical computing and graphics environment opens up various possibilities. For example, it enables the modeler to design simulation experiments, store simulation results, and analyze simulation output in a more systematic way. It can therefore help close the gaps in agent-based modeling regarding standards of description and analysis. After a short overview of the agent-based modeling approach and the software used here, the paper delivers a step-by-step introduction to the usage of the RNetLogo package by examples.

News-Enhanced Market Risk Management

SU‐E‐T‐652: GPU‐Based Automatic Treatment Planning Using Previously Delivered Treatment Plans as Prior Knowledge

Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility of automatically and efficiently developing a clinically optimal treatment plan for a new patient using a GPU‐based automatic planning engine and a library of previously delivered treatment plans. Methods: An in‐house GPU‐based platform called SCORE was used for automatic treatment planning. A library of 65 prostate IMRT plans previously delivered at our institution has been assembled. Leave‐one‐out cross validation was performed whereby each of the 65 patients was selected as a ‘new’ patient and the other 64 patients were treated as reference patients. A treatment plan was automatically generated for the ‘new’ patient using the same beam setup and guided by the DVH of the reference plan. A set of candidates were generated by filtering the 64 plans using institutional criteria for treatment plan quality. A GUI was developed to allow clinicians to navigate through the candidate plans at high efficiency to select the best plan. Results: For each prostate IMRT patient, it took 40–60 minutes to generate 64 new plans without any manual intervention. Compared with the original clinical plan created through the regular planning process, each of the final plans chosen from the candidates had equal or better plan quality in terms of DVH curves and specific plan quality metrics (D95% and Dmax for PTV, V65 and V40 for rectum and bladder, Dmax for femoral heads). Conclusion: We proposed a GPU‐based automatic treatment planning procedure as a solution to the current manual treatment planning process requiring significant human effort, planner experience, and clinician. By using this procedure that leverages prior planning experience, a set of candidate plans can be generated without any manual intervention from which it is easy for the clinician to find a clinically optimal plan using an interactive plan selection GUI.

Remote Laboratories - A Cloud Based Model for Teleoperation of Real Laboratories

Remote Triggered Labs provides access to real experiments without time and location restrictions with necessary guidance required to perform experiments. Remote Triggered (RT) Labs have emerged as an alternative to real laboratories and have shifted the past pedagogy from student-centric to teaching-centric approach. Over the past decade several RT experiments have emerged in different parts of the world including those developed under Govt. of Indiaâ??s National Mission on Education through ICT as part of Right to Education (RTE) Program and various approaches have been implemented as to reinforce the use of Remote Labs in higher education. However, as the technology to build RT labs evolves there is a growing concern to adapt methodologies for developing scalable models of RT labs and introducing innovative ideas such as collaborative plans among universities within the RT labs framework. In this paper we propose a cloud based architecture for Remote Triggered Laboratory for Analog Communication. Cloud based models with their various characteristics e.g. - scalability, low cost and maintenance etc. provides several advantages to RT labs. Advanced web technologies are implemented to build up interface for teleoperation of high end instrumentation utilized in RT labs with interactive GUI design frameworks to deliver RT labs in a user friendly and more convenient environment.

SU-E-I-70: Semi-Automatic, User-Driven Breast, Chest Wall and FGT Segmentations Based on Hough Transform, Morphology Tools and Histogram Technology.

Preliminary analysis shows that breast fibroglandular tissue (FGT) ratio and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are predictive of future breast cancer risk. Adequate methods for automatic/semi-automatic breast and chest wall segmentation, and FGT histogram extraction and analysis were not available. This method is tested on the retrospective HIPAA-compliant study, which includes 1275 women who underwent breast MR imaging between December 2002 and February 2008. The method works in user-directed stages for each image slice: 1. A straight-line and ellipse Hough transform are applied to detect chest wall boundaries and separate out the chest region if it is present. 2. Edge detection and morphology tools are deployed to segment out the breast region. Human input is required to justify and adjust the segmentation result. 3. Typical breast MRI histograms have double peaks, of fat regions and FGT content inside the segmented breast. Human input is needed here to justify and select a proper segmentation threshold value for whole breast FGT segmentation. Interactive GUIs were developed in Matlab for all the human input sections. Various chest wall boundary lines are detected by Hough transform. Breast region is segmented out either automatically by the morphology tools or redefined by researchers if there is no proper boundaries available in the MR images. Breast region is analyzed by histogram technology to separate FGT from fat. We have developed a semi-automatic human-guided breast segmentation method for MRI based on Hough transform, morphology tools and histogram technology. This approach enables novel breast segmentation and analysis.

Clinical decision support system for dental treatment

BackgroundIn this research, a decision making system, based on fuzzy inference mechanism as proposed by Mamdani, is presented. Literature suggests that there is a lack of consistency among dentists in choosing treatment plan(s). So, this research work aims to facilitate the dentist decide the treatment plan(s) of the broken tooth. MethodsAn expert system based on fuzzy logic has been designed to accept inaccurate and vague values of dental signs and symptoms associated with the broken tooth. We designed a knowledge base with 60 rules and used Mamdani inference algorithm to decide the possible one or more treatment(s) and suggest the same to the dentist. ResultsThe results proposed by the system are compared with the dentists’ suggestions. The Chi-square test of homogeneity is conducted on 100 randomly generated sample cases with the help of three professional dentists. It is found that the results produced by the system are consistent with the treatment plan(s) proposed by the dentists. Chi-square value of the test is 3.843565 which is less than the critical value which is 12.592. Hence, we are unable to reject the null hypothesis that assumes the two populations are homogeneous with respect to treatments. ConclusionsThe accuracy of the proposed decision support system for the treatment of broken tooth enhances the confidence level of the dentists while making decision regarding the treatment plan(s). Simple and interactive GUI makes it easy to use.

Checkpointing SystemC-Based Virtual Platforms

The ability to restore a virtual platform from a previously saved simulation state can considerably shorten the typical edit-compile-debug cycle for software developers and therefore enhance productivity. For SystemC based virtual platforms (VP), dedicated checkpoint/restore (C/R) solutions are required, taking into account the specific characteristics of such platforms. Apart from restoring the simulation process from a checkpoint image, the proposed checkpoint solution also takes care of re-attaching debuggers and interactive GUIs to the restored virtual platform. The checkpointing is handled automatically for most of the SystemC modules, only the usage of host OS resources requires user provision. A process checkpointing based C/R has been selected in order to minimize the adaption required for existing VPs at the expense of large checkpoint sizes. This drawback is overcome by introducing an online compression to the checkpoint process. A case study based on the SHAPES Virtual Platform is conducted to investigate the applicability of the proposed framework as well as the impact of checkpoint compression in a realistic system environment.

Real-time damage monitoring of irradiated DNA

This article presents a microfluidic technique for the real-time analysis of DNA damage due to radiation exposure. A continuous-flow spatial melting analysis was performed every three seconds on a sample of isolated DNA while it was being irradiated. The formation of photoproducts being caused by the UV-C radiation was monitored during the process. Cumulative damage produced distinct changes in the DNA melting curves, characterized by a shifting and broadening of the melting peaks. The design of the microfluidic device, the experimental procedure, and the analysis algorithm and interactive GUI are discussed herein. In addition, the advantages of this system are correlated to specific needs of related scientific studies, such as the investigation of sequence-specific damage susceptibility and the characterization of exposure-damage nonlinearities.

NETRA

We introduce an interactive, portable, and inexpensive solution for estimating refractive errors in the human eye. While expensive optical devices for automatic estimation of refractive correction exist, our goal is to greatly simplify the mechanism by putting the human subject in the loop. Our solution is based on a high-resolution programmable display and combines inexpensive optical elements, interactive GUI, and computational reconstruction. The key idea is to interface a lenticular view-dependent display with the human eye in close range - a few millimeters apart. Via this platform, we create a new range of interactivity that is extremely sensitive to parameters of the human eye, like refractive errors, focal range, focusing speed, lens opacity, etc. We propose several simple optical setups, verify their accuracy, precision, and validate them in a user study.

Lexical Analyser for Automated Image Classification and Applying Classification on Google Earth

Rough Set based Optimization, Fuzzy Set Based Optimization, Biogeography Based Optimization Technique and many others like Classification based on many other Technologies of Soft Computing is the Research work going on in the DTRL LAB and has its application in various domain, so that we can use it in Remote Sensing for classification of satellite images. But all this Work already going on is found very Typical, A lot of Time Consuming and Quite Tiring, as the coding Process it Involves is quite Large and Complex. So we tried to mark the First Initial step towards the Automating of the Coding System and more to that using of the Coding through an Interactive GUI Based System which would evolve more inclination towards the work with less amount of Effort. So we Introduced an Automated Code generation System for Image Classification and for Developing its Complex Code we made a start with the most heavily used Technology of artificial Intelligence prevailing for classification process in the DTRL lab, that is the Rough Set Theory. Although in further stages of this project its aims to form the system for all technologies including Fuzzy and others. This work focuses on automating the coding of the optimized algorithm inspired by rough set technology for satellite image classification from high resolution satellite multi-spectral images. And further using the Classified Image in more efficient ways by embedding it on Google Earth, and making it global for use, and not merely global in use but even adding more prospects of functionality to it, with the powerful google earth system. This project will help for better programming of the classifier and efficient use of the classified image obtained from the satellite images after classification. In the future, the access to image archives will even become more difficult due to the enormous data quantity acquired by a new generation of high-resolution satellite sensors. To overcome such a challenge problem, new technologies those allow the users to access remote sensing images automatically is required. This work is a move to these technologies.

Fassieh¯, a Semi-Automatic Visual Interactive Tool for Morphological, PoS-Tags, Phonetic, and Semantic Annotation of Arabic Text Corpora

This paper introduces an Arabic text annotation tool called Fassieh <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">reg</sup> . Via a sophisticated interactive GUI application, Fassieh <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">reg</sup> makes it easy to build structured large standard written Arabic corpora, then allows the production of fundamental linguistic analyses; i.e., language factorizations, at high coverage and accuracy rates over such corpora. Arabic morphological analysis, part-of-speech (PoS)-tagging, full phonetic transcription (diacritization), and lexical semantics analysis are the most significant Arabic language factorizations currently supported by Fassieh <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">reg</sup> . The high inherent ambiguity of these analyses is statistically resolved in Fassieh <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">reg</sup> which also affords a multitude of auxiliary features enabling a guided, normalized, and efficient proofreading of any part of the factorized corpus. The paper first reviews the highly inflective and derivative nature of Arabic language, our Arabic language factorization models, and the associated statistical disambiguation methodology. Afterwards, we present Fassieh <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">reg</sup> which is not only a text annotation tool, but is also an evaluation, demonstrative, and tutorial means of Arabic natural language processing (NLP).
