Grood and Suntay joint coordinate system for knee kinematics
No full textGrood and Suntay joint coordinate system for description of knee kinematics
This software implements the Grood and Suntay joint coordinate system for the clinical description of the three-dimensional motion of the knee. The Grood and Suntay joint coordinate system is described in the research paper :
Grood E.S., Suntay W.J., “A joint coordinate system for the clinical description of three-dimensional motions: application to the knee”, J Biomech Eng., 1983 May; 105(2), 136-44, 1983.
The software was used in producing the numerical results shown in various research papers such as :
Arsene, CT, Gabrys, B., “Probabilistic finite element predictions of the human lower limb model in the total knee replacement”, Med Eng Phys, 2013 Aug; 35(8): 1116-32, 2013.
Description of the Matlab files:
Uncerpasl.m – starts the process of calculating the knee joint coordinate system;
Anglesn.m – calculates the angles and the displacements of interest for the tibio-femoral component
Anglespf.m – calculates the angles and the displacements of interest for the patello-femoral component
Readinput.m – reads the text files containing the raw data obtained from the Finie Element simulations such as :
a) femur_COG_I_X - means the X coordinate of the I point which defines a coordinate system together with points J and K with respect to the center of gravity (COG) of the femoral component.
b) femur_COG_X - means the X coordinate of the center of gravity (COG) of the femoral component which together with points I, J , K forms a sort of local coordinate system attached to the femoral component.
All the text files such as femur_COG_I_X_1.txt, femur_COG_I_Y_1.txt, etc were produced with the finite element software PAM-CRASH/PAMOPT from the company ESI, Paris, France (https://www.esi-group.com). The text files contain a single result consisting of 0.12 seconds of the passive flexion cycle and therefore are of no real use but only to verify that the Grood and Suntay Matlab software code works.

Model Selection with PLANN-CR-ARD
No full textThis paper presents a new compensation mechanism to be used with a Partial Logistic Artificial Neural Network for Competing Risks with Automatic Relevance Determination (PLANN-CR-ARD) and tested comprehensibly on a real breast cancer dataset with excellent convergence properties and numerical stability for the non-linear model. The Model Selection is implemented for the PLANN-CR-ARD model, benefiting from a scaling of the prior error term which together with the data error term forms the total error function that is optimized. The PLANN-CR-ARD proves to be an excellent prognostic tool that can be used in regression analysis tasks such as the survival analysis of cancer datasets

Gaps in the traceability chain of human growth hormone measurements
No full textBACKGROUND: Human growth hormone (hGH) is measured for the diagnosis of secretion disorders. These measurements fall under the EU Directive 98/79/EC on in vitro diagnostic medical devices requiring traceability of commercial calibrator values to higher-order reference materials or procedures (Off J Eur Communities 1998 Dec 7; L 331:1-37). External quality assessment schemes show large discrepancies between results from different methods, even though most methods provide results traceable to the recommended International Standard (IS 98/574). The aim of this study was to investigate possible causes for these discrepancies.
METHODS: We investigated the commutability and recovery of hGH in reconstituted IS 98/574. We tested different reconstitution protocols and used 4 different serum matrices for spiking. These IS preparations were measured together with serum samples. We quantified hGH by 5 different methods in 4 different laboratories.
RESULTS: Results from the different methods correlated well for the serum samples. Mean discrepancies between results from different methods were 10-fold differences) and background matrix (relative differences <= 17% for different serum matrices).
CONCLUSIONS: The use of different protocols for reconstitution and spiking of hGH reference preparations affects quantification by immunoassays, potentially leading to a bias between commercial methods, despite the use of calibrators with values claimed to be traceable to the same higher-order reference material
The Public Career of Arsene P. Pujo Louisiana Congressman, 1903-1913
No full textArsene Paulin Pujo (1861-1939), prominent lake Charles, Louisiana attorney, devoted much of his lifetime to serving local, state, and national governments. An advocate of the direct primary, he always put his candidacy for public office before the people of his state. His individualism was apparent throughout his public service. From 1903 to 1913, he served the Seventh Congressional District of Louisiana in the United States House of Representatives. Labor, industrial, and agricultural interests benefited from the legislation he supported and the appropriations he secured. An examination of the public records reveals that Pujo voted for and supported many of the progressive measures characteristic of the period in which he was a representative. At the same time, he supported conservative views which indicated he was not confined in his political thinking.
Pujo gained national recognition when he served as chairman of the Money Trust Investigation of 1912-1913. The inquiry revealed that J.P. Morgan and his associates controlled corporations with assets greater than the assessed value of all the property west of the Mississippi River. The investigation did not result in any direct legislation, but it did influence laws designed to remedy the existing financial inequities.
During World War I, Pujo served on the United States Selective Service Board for the Western District of Louisiana and on the Louisiana Council of Defense. His adeptness in the interpretation of the Selective Service Act illustrated an inherent understanding of most laws dating back as far as the Louisiana Constitutional Convention of 1898. Pujo\u27s effectiveness as a public servant may be judged in light of the fact that while in Congress, he secured appropriations for the Seventh District which exceeded all the money expended by the Federal government in the district during the century of American rule before his election

Evaluating catastrophic forgetting of state-of-the-art NLP models for predicting moral values
No full textPersonal moral values represent the motivation behind individuals' actions and opinions. Understanding these values is helpful both in predicting individuals' actions, such as violent protests, and building AI that can better collaborate with humans. Predicting moral values is a challenging problem due to the abstract and subjective essence of moral values. With the help of seven Twitter datasets corresponding to different domains, we train state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing models in predicting moral values. An interesting limitation of the models is that they all suffer from catastrophic forgetting. Catastrophic forgetting is the degree to which models worsen their performance on older data after being trained on new data. We conclude that catastrophic forgetting occurs irrespective of the models being trained and can be mitigated by not only training on new data but by training on a combination of old and new data. This is all possible under one assumption: old data is available. We deliver an evaluation of catastrophic forgetting for each model, explain the differences between the models, and suggest possible future work that can be built upon this research.CSE3000 Research ProjectComputer Science and Engineerin
