Longitudinal tracking of neural vascular recovery post microinfarct using multimodal neural platform
… structure, and regional cerebral blood flow longitudinally post-stroke. Our findings reveal several important insights about this transient local damage in an aged mouse model. Firstly, we observed that neural activity near the infarct site recovers to baseline levels at the same pace as the …

Enhancing Landscape Performance Measurement Using Smart Devices, Data Visualization, and Longitudinal Tracking
… of accuracy, real-time, spatial resolution, and longitudinal analysis. The researcher proposes the ALPMF and conducts a comparative study with the traditional landscape performance measurement framework (TLPMF) to measure a project's LP. By comparing methods, tools, and results, the study …

A clinician-mediated, longitudinal tracking system for the follow-up of clinical results
… follow-up management, they fail by not tracking that follow-up effectively. We believe that clinicians do not want suggestions how to manage their patients, but instead want help tracking follow-up results once they have decided the management plan. We believe that a well-designed system …

Longitudinal Tracking and Changes Over Time of Song-writing Workshops with Young People and Adults who are Experiencing Different Degrees of Social Exclusion
… On discovering that there is no official form of tracking for measuring outcomes within the UK, this presented the opportunity to explore five different measuring tools. Therefore, giving the scope to design, trial and implement a longitudinal tracking model focusing on an evaluation of the …

Anteromedial Thalamus Gates the Selection & Stabilization of Long-Term Memories
… storage remain unknown. To facilitate the longitudinal tracking of memory circuits in the brain, we first developed a novel virtual reality-based behavioral task for mice. We used fiber photometry to record neural activity from multiple regions across the brain throughout consolidation and …

Guidance and control using model predictive control for low altitude real-time terrain following flight
… the cost function and the resulting trajectory tracking error term is weighted for more precise longitudinal tracking than lateral tracking through the introduction of the TF/TA ratio. The TF/TA ratio, control effort penalties and MPC prediction horizon are tuned for this application via …

Quantitative characterization of cellular dynamics in wound healing using multimodal microscopy
… resolution of multimodal MPM OCM enabled longitudinal tracking of the effect of recombinant interleukin on the chemical environment in wounded skin. At the cellular level, the efficacy of stem cell treatment on accelerating wound closure on diabetic skin was characterized. Most …

Development of 89Zirconium-PET Tracers for Immune Cell Imaging
… in cell-based therapies. In vivo imaging and tracking of cells can be used to non-invasively improve the accuracy, efficacy and safety of novel immune-modulatory treatments and cell therapies. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a powerful non-invasive imaging technique that can be utilised …

Registration and course selection processes of entering freshmen and the effects on academic success and retention at a midsize public university
… study was based on Bean and Metzner’s (1985) longitudinal tracking system for nontraditional student attrition. Two frameworks were used for the qualitative portion of the study. The first was constructivist grounded theory due to its research of a university process, and how this process may …

Library decision making informed by customer values
… to identify customer values and irritations. By longitudinal tracking of student satisfaction in the UK university, changes in customer satisfaction were noted and related to interventions agreed by library management based on the research data gathered. The thesis answers four specific research …
