Scaling: why is animal size so important?

We present a new technique for noninvasively tracing brain white matter fiber tracts using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI). This technique is based on performing diffusion simulations over a series of overlapping three dimensional diffusion kernels that cover only a small portion of the human brain volume and are geometrically centered upon selected starting voxels where a seed is placed. Synthetic and real DT-MRI data are employed to demonstrate the tracking scheme. It is shown that the synthetic tracts can be accurately replicated, while several major white matter fiber pathways in the human brain can be reproduced noninvasively as well. The primary advantages of the algorithm lie in the handling of fiber branching and crossing and its seamless adaptation to the platform established by new imaging techniques, such as high angular, q-space, or generalized diffusion tensor imaging.

Approximating anatomical brain connectivity with diffusion tensor MRI using kernel-based diffusion simulations

A three-dimensional (3D) multilayer model based on the skin physical structure is developed to investigate the transient thermal response of human skin subject to laser heating. The temperature distribution of the skin is modeled by the bioheat transfer equation, and the influence of laser heating is expressed as a source term where the strength of the source is a product of a Gaussian shaped incident irradiance, an exponentially shaped axial attenuation, and a time function. The water evaporation and diffusion is included in the model by adding two terms regarding the heat loss due to the evaporation and diffusion, where the rate of water evaporation is determined based on the theory of laminar boundary layer. Cryogen spray cooling (CSC) in laser therapy is studied, as well as its effect on the skin thermal response. The time-dependent equation is discretized using the finite difference method with the Crank–Nicholson scheme and the stability of the numerical method is analyzed. The large sparse linear s...

Three-dimensional model on thermal response of skin subject to laser heating.

Maintaining data mining accuracy on distorted datasets is an important issue in privacy preserving data mining. Using matrix approximation, we propose several efficient and flexible techniques to address this issue, and utilize unique characteristics of matrix factorization to maintain data pattern. We use the support vector machine classification to compare accuracy maintenance after data distortion by different methods. With better performance than some classical data perturbation approaches, nonnegative matrix factorization and singular value decomposition are considered to be promising techniques for privacy preserving data mining. Experimental results demonstrate that mining accuracy on the distorted data used these methods is almost as good as that on the original data, with added property of privacy preservation. It indicates that the matrix factorization-based data distortion schemes perturb only confidential attributes to meet privacy requirements while preserving general data pattern for knowledge extraction.

Addressing Accuracy Issues in Privacy Preserving Data Mining through Matrix Factorization

In solving systems of linear equations arising from practical scientific and engineering modelling and simulations such as electromagnetics applications, it is important to choose a fast and robust solver. Due to the large scale of those problems, preconditioned Krylov subspace methods are most suitable. In electromagnetics simulations, the use of preconditioned Krylov subspace methods in the context of multilevel fast multipole algorithms (MLFMA) is particularly attractive. In this paper, we present a short survey of a few preconditioning techniques in this application. We also compare several preconditioning techniques combined with the Krylov subspace methods to solve large dense linear systems arising from electromagnetic scattering problems and present some numerical results.
