Title: Intraoperative Assessment of Surgical Margins in Head And Neck Cancer Resection Using Time-Domain Fluorescence Imaging
Creator: Cleary, Brandon M.

Show moreRapid and accurate determination of surgical margin depth in fluorescence guided surgery has been a difficult issue to overcome, leading to over- or under-resection of cancerous tissues and follow-up treatments such as ‘call-back’ surgery and chemotherapy. Current techniques utilizing direct measurement of tumor margins in frozen section pathology are slow, which can prevent surgeons from acting on information before a patient is sent home. Other fluorescence techniques require the measurement of margins via captured images that are overlayed with fluorescent data. This method is flawed, as measuring depth from captured images loses spatial information. Intensity-based fluorescence techniques utilizing tumor-to-background ratios do not decouple the effects of concentration from the depth information acquired. Thus, it is necessary to perform an objective measurement to determine depths of surgical margins. This thesis focuses on the theory, device design, simulation development, and overall viability of time-domain fluorescence imaging as an alternative method of determining surgical margin depths. Characteristic regressions were generated using a thresholding method on acquired time-domain fluorescence signals, which were used to convert time-domain data to a depth value. These were applied to an image space to generate a depth map of a modelled tissue sample. All modeling was performed on homogeneous media using Monte Carlo simulations, providing high accuracy at the cost of increased computational time. In practice, the imaging process should be completed within a span of under 20 minutes for a full tissue sample, rather than 20 minutes for a single slice of the sample. This thesis also explores the effects of different thresholding levels on the accuracy of depth determination, as well as the precautions to be taken regarding hardware limitations and signal noise.

Title: Improving Niobium Superconducting Radio-Frequency Cavities by Studying Tantalum

Show moreNiobium superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities are widely used accelerating structures. Improvements in both quality factor, Q0, and maximum accelerating gradient, Eacc, have been made to SRF cavities by introducing new processing techniques. These breakthroughs include processes such as nitrogen doping(N-Doping) and infusion, electrochemical polishing (EP) and High Pressure Rinsing (HPR). [1] There is still abundant opportunity to improve the cavities or, rather, the material they’re primarily composed of: niobium. A focus here is the role the native oxide of Nb plays in SRF cavity performance. The values of interest in a given cavity are its quality factor Q0, maximum accelerating gradient Eacc and surface resistance Rs . This work characterizes Nb and Ta foils prepared under identical conditions using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to compare surface oxides and better understand RF loss mechanisms in Nb SRF cavities and qubits. It is well established that Ta qubits experience much longer coherence times than Nb qubits, which is probably due to the larger RF losses in Nb oxide. By studying Tantalum, an element similar to Niobium, the mechanisms of the losses that originate in the oxide and suboxide layers present on the surface of Nb cavities might finally be unlocked. We find noticeable differences in the oxides of Nb and Ta formed by air exposure of clean foils. In particular, Ta does not display the TaO2 suboxide in XPS, while Nb commonly shows NbO2. This suggests that suboxides are an additional contributor of RF losses. We also suggest that thin Ta film coatings of Nb SRF cavities may be a way of increasing Q0. It is in the interest of the accelerator community to fully understand the surface impurities present in Nb SRF cavities so that strategies for mitigating the effects can be proposed.

Show moreGiven some real life dataset where the attributes of the dataset take on categorical values, with corresponding r(1) × r(2) × … × r(m) contingency table with nonzero rows or nonzero columns, we will be testing the goodness-of-fit of various independence models to the dataset using a variation of Metropolis-Hastings that uses Markov bases as a tool to get a Monte Carlo estimate of the p-value. This variation of Metropolis-Hastings can be found in Algorithm 3.1.1. Next we will consider the problem: ``out of all possible undirected graphical models each associated to some graph with m vertices that we test to fit on our dataset, which one best fits the dataset?" Here, the m attributes are labeled as vertices for the graph. We would have to conduct 2^(mC2) goodness-of-fit tests since there are 2^(mC2) possible undirected graphs on m vertices. Instead, we consider a backwards selection method likelihood-ratio test algorithm. We first start with the complete graph G = K(m), and call the corresponding undirected graphical model ℳ(G) as the parent model. Then for each edge e in E(G), we repeatedly apply the likelihood-ratio test to test the relative fit of the model ℳ(G-e), the child model, vs. ℳ(G), the parent model, where ℳ(G-e) ⊆ℳ(G). More details on this iterative process can be found in Algorithm 4.1.3. For our dataset, we will be using the alcohol dataset found in https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/sooyoungher/smoking-drinking-dataset, where the four attributes of the dataset we will use are ``Gender" (male, female), ``Age", ``Total cholesterol (mg/dL)", and ``Drinks alcohol or not?". After testing the goodness-of-fit of three independence models corresponding to the independence statements ``Gender vs Drink or not?", ``Age vs Drink or not?", and "Total cholesterol vs Drink or not?", we found that the data came from a distribution from the two independence models corresponding to``Age vs Drink or not?" and "Total cholesterol vs Drink or not?" And after applying the backwards selection likelihood-ratio method on the alcohol dataset, we found that the data came from a distribution from the undirected graphical model associated to the complete graph minus the edge {``Total cholesterol”, ``Drink or not?”}.

Show moreOur modern culture in our society is facing one of the biggest risks in health which is high-calorie diet-related postprandial inflammation. Chronic diseases may be caused if the energy-dense food is the choice meaning if it is uncontrolled, clinical studies have demonstrated this with the body's post-meal inflammatory response. We aimed to find the causes of postprandial inflammation in response to various dietary treatments and provide a model to demonstrate. We aimed to make use of in vivo and in vitro techniques and statistics to create a model. The created model would help us to design specific treatments to minimize inflammation with response to dietary. In addition to figuring out vital dietary additives, the model additionally facilitates the layout of individualized interventions to reduce inflammation, thereby improving long-time period health outcomes. We aim to understand the clinical observations of diet-induced postprandial inflammation on the molecular level. We desire to make contributions to reduce the impact of chronic inflammatory disorders that is associated with postprandial inflammation.

Show moreWith advanced technology, it’s widely recognized that everyone owns one or more personal devices. Consequently, people are evolving into content creators on social media or the streaming platforms sharing their personal ideas regardless of their education or expertise level. Distinguishing fake news is becoming increasingly crucial. However, the recent research only presents comparisons of detecting fake news between one or more models across different datasets. In this work, we applied Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques with Naïve Bayes and DistilBERT machine learning method combing and augmenting four datasets. The results show that the balanced accuracy is higher than the average in the recent studies. This suggests that our approach holds for improving fake news detection in the era of widespread content creation.

Title: Migration of Silver from Silver Zeolite/Low-Density Polyethylene Films into Food Stimulants

Show moreZeolites are naturally occurring or synthetic crystalline microporous aluminosilicate structures with remarkable catalytic, adsorption, and ion-exchange properties. Their unique framework of pores, channels, and cages with precise dimensions makes them an excellent fit for ion exchange and storage. Silver-exchanged zeolite (Ag/Y) composites may be incorporated into polymer matrices to create antimicrobial packaging materials. The slow release of Ag from nanosilver-enabled polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) may inhibit the growth of bacteria and other pathogens on the film’s surface, improving food quality and reducing food waste. However, the migration of Ag ions from the film into food matrices is of great concern as it could expose humans to high concentrations of a heavy metal from dietary sources. The amount of migration depends on various factors, including the potential form of Ag and its concentration in the film, the film thickness, and the storage conditions.The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the form of Ag bound to the zeolite on the migration behavior of Ag from Ag/Y incorporated low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films. For Ag/Y-incorporated LDPE PNCs with distinct Ag species, the Ag migration into the water and Squirt (a commercial soft drink) was at least four times higher from films containing zeolites exchanged with ionic Ag versus zeolites exchanged with nanoparticulate Ag. Similarly, migration into 9 wt % aqueous Domino sugar (granulated sucrose) solution was seven times higher in the ionic silver-incorporated film than in the nanoparticulate Ag film. This study suggests that it is important to consider the form of Ag in silver-exchanged zeolite while producing packaging materials since the potential form of Ag in the PNCs might significantly affect Ag migration behavior.

Show moreSpeaker separation involves separating individual speakers from a mixture of voices or background noise, known as the "cocktail party problem." This refers to the ability to focus on a specific sound while filtering out other distractions.In this analysis, we propose the idea of obtaining features present in the original data and then evaluating the impact they have on the ability of the model to separate the mixed audio streams. The dataset is prepared such that these feature values can be used as predictor variables to various models like Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, SVM (both rbf and linear kernel), XGBoost, AdaBoost, to obtain the most contributing features that is the features that will lead to a better separation. These results shall then be analyzed to conclude the features that affect separating the audio streams the most. Initially, 400 audio streams are selected from the VoxCeleb dataset and combined to form 200 single utterances. After the mixes are obtained, the pre-trained Speechbrain model, sepformer-whamr is used. This model separates the audio mixes given as input and obtain two outputs that should be as close as possible to the original ones. A feature list from the 400 chosen audios is obtained and then the effect of certain features on the model's capability to distinguish between multiple audio sources in a mixed recording is assessed. Two analysis parameters- permutation feature importance and SHAP values are used to conclude which features have more effect on separation. Our hypothesis is that the features contributing the most to a good separation are invariant across datasets. To test this hypothesis, we obtain 1,000 audio streams from the Mozilla Common Voice Dataset and perform the same experimental methodology described above. Our results demonstrate that the features we extract from VoxCeleb dataset are indeed invariant and aid in separating the audio streams of the Mozilla Common Voice dataset.

Show moreRecently, there has been a rapid development in monocular depth estimation based on self-supervised learning. However, these existing self-supervised learning methods are insufficient for estimating motion objects, occlusions, and large static areas. Uncertainty or vanishing easily occurs during depth inferencing. To address this problem, the model proposed in this thesis further explores the consistency in video and builds a multi-frame model for depth estimation; secondly, by taking advantage of the optical flow, a motion mask is generated, with additional photometric loss applied for those masked regions. Experiments are carried out on the KITTI dataset. The proposed model performs better than the baseline model in quantitative results, and as seen from the depth map, the scale uncertainty and depth incomplete situations are improved in motion objects and occlusions explicitly.

Show moreThe Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI) is a widely used measure of postconcussive symptoms in veteran populations. Previous psychometric studies used samples of veterans with mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) and high rates of comorbid Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The present study aims to determine the best-fitting factor structure of the NSI in veterans with PTSD and to evaluate the relationship between the best-fitting factor structure and the symptom clusters of PTSD. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) found that 4-factors had the best overall fit in veterans with PTSD. Correlational analyses found high rates of correspondence between the cognitive and affective factors of the NSI and the alterations in cognition and mood and hyperarousal symptom clusters of PTSD. The analyses reveal that symptoms of the NSI cluster in the same way in a sample of veterans with PTSD as they do in veterans with mTBI, suggesting that lingering postconcussive symptoms in veterans with PTSD are better characterized as non-specific generalized health symptoms on the NSI.

Show moreAs the need for renovating and repairing structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridges is increased, employing innovative methods which can lead to shorter construction time, better quality, longer durability, and less life-cycle costs become more popular in transportation agencies.Developing a model that has the capability of estimating the total construction cost of ABC projects and compare them with conventional methods costs [without using these methods] will help decision-makers at DOTs in understanding and assessing the benefits and costs of ABC methods at the planning phase of a project and in return, will lead to the elaboration in the use of ABC methods versus the conventional ones. But this decision making process is complicated since the number of executed ABC projects, especially those which done by SIBC and SPMT [two superstructure replacement method] is limited and as a result; there is a lack of historical knowledge to estimate the associated cost of these methods in future projects. Factors affecting this process include but are not limited to: construction costs, user costs, quality of work, impact on traffic, the safety of road users and construction workers, and the impact on surrounding communities and businesses. The main aim of this study is to make a model to estimate additional costs of using SIBC and SPMT methods and the saving in user costs.
