The Search for CH3OH Transitions and Water Masers in High-mass Star-forming Regions
No full textMethanol transitions and Water Masers can be found in high-mass star-forming regions that are in the ionized gas. This ionized gas lets off electrons that interact with other atoms which emits photons that are then detected by radio telescopes such as the Very Large Array (VLA) on Earth. Data from this telescope was able to be accessed by connecting to a virtual machine and using Jupyter Notebook and CASA (Common Astronomy Software Applications) to analyze the data. From the data, it is possible to look for these Methanol transitions and Water Masers. For the source analyzed during this process, there were no Methanol transitions found while there were two Water Masers found. This method is going to be used to continue a Water Maser search from different sources

Enhancing Stroke Rehabilitation through a Deep Learning-Enabled Wearable Sensor and a User-Friendly GUI
No full textStroke rehabilitation faces significant hurdles in providing continuous, real-time care, particularly outside clinical settings. Traditional approaches, while beneficial, are hampered by their intermittent nature and lack of personalized, real-time monitoring. Addressing this gap, this research is the introduction of a wearable sensor technology, designed as a user-friendly bracelet. This device leverages advanced cross-modal deep learning techniques, including variational auto-encoders and training-data augmentation, to offer precise, real-time estimations of joint kinematics, thereby facilitating continuous monitoring and personalized care for stroke survivors.
The sensor\u27s integration with a custom Graphical User Interface (GUI) enables patients and healthcare providers to effortlessly interact with the device, monitor progress, and adjust rehabilitation strategies accordingly. This novel approach not only promises to enhance the accuracy and reliability of patient monitoring outside clinical environments but also aims to significantly improve the quality of life for stroke survivors by ensuring ongoing support and care. The potential societal and economic benefits derived from reducing the impact of stroke-related disabilities further underscore the value of this research. By bridging the existing gaps in stroke rehabilitation, this project paves the way for a new era of patient-centered care, marked by enhanced recovery outcomes and greater accessibility to effective rehabilitation methods
Towards Understanding Large Language Models for Multilingual Semantic Encoding
No full textNatural Language Processing (NLP) has witnessed significant advancements with the emergence of large language models (LLM) capable of understanding and generating human-like text. However, there remains a critical need to explore and understand their efficiency and effectiveness, especially in processing languages beyond English. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of various large language models in capturing semantic meaning across English, German, and Spanish sentences. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is utilized to identify important weights for understanding semantics. Through further experimentation with various sentence structures, we aim to identify factors contributing to the effectiveness of certain models. By pinpointing the strengths and weaknesses of different models, we aim to advance NLP research for multilingual applications
