GPU accelerated risk quantification
<p>Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) is a standard model for quantitatively estimating cybersecurity risks and has been implemented as a sequential Monte Carlo simulation in the RiskLens and FAIR-U applications. Monte Carlo simulations employ random sampling techniques to model certain …

Event quantification and plurality
This dissertation presents three studies based on the hypothesis that the domain of entities on which natural language interpretation relies includes a partially ordered sub-domain of events. In this sub-domain, we can identify singular and plural elements, the latter being characterizable as …

Quantification of Mixing in Microchannels
Microchannels are used for delivery of two-or more fluids for multiple purposes, such as drug delivery, where good mixing is desired in a very short time (or distance). For this purpose, many design options are being proposed in the literature. For example herringbone baffles at the bottom of a …

Flow-Transport Modeling and Quantification
Several research investigations have been conducted on the flow and sediment transport over bed forms in alluvial rivers (e.g. mean flow field, turbulence, shear partitioning, bed load transport and bed form geometry). Much of this work was either laboratory studies or small scale field …

Uncertainty quantification in noisy networks
… laying statistical foundations for uncertainty quantification of this type, within a handful of key paradigms, focusing on problems ranging from epidemics to experiments on networks, when at least a few network replicates are available. Specifically, we study causal inference on noisy networks, …

Rheological inferences with uncertainty quantification
… remind the community that an honest uncertainty quantification of fit parameter estimates requires fitting SAOS+MAOS simultaneously. Even then there are subjective choices in fitting, particularly for SAOS data. We demonstrate that fitting with data uncertainty weighted least squares …

Quantification of myocardial macromolecular transport
… into the myocardium was evaluated. To make quantification generic and not specific for a particular drug or compound, fluorescent-labeled 20kDa and 150kDa dextrans were used to simulate small and large diffusing macromolecules. Diffusion in the myocardium in two directions, transmural and …

Uncertainty quantification in ocean state estimation
… a native formalism for error propagation and quantification of assimilated uncertainty. The objective of this dissertation is to resolve that limitation by developing a feasible computational methodology for uncertainty analysis in dynamically consistent state estimation, applicable to the …

Quantification and Reconstruction in Photoacoustic Tomography
… of hemoglobin. Conventionally, accurate quantification in PAT requires knowledge of the optical fluence attenuation, acoustic pressure attenuation, and detection bandwidth. We circumvent this requirement by quantifying the optical absorption coefficients from the acoustic spectra of PA …

Automated stenosis quantification in coronary arteriograms
Computer-assisted techniques have been shown to be useful in estimating the diameter and cross-sectional area of coronary artery lesions. In this study, two different strategies are employed for identification of artery contours, i.e., scanning and tracKing The scanning approach is accomplished by …

Epistemic Uncertainty Quantification in Scientific Models
<p>In the field of uncertainty quantification (UQ), epistemic uncertainty often refers to the kind of uncertainty whose complete probabilistic description is not available, largely due to our lack of knowledge about the uncertainty. Quantification of the impacts of epistemic uncertainty is …

Quantification des propriétés thermophysiques des nanofluides
La présente étude vise à enrichir la base de données de mesures expérimentales de conductivité thermique et de viscosité dynamique des nanofluides. Trois différents nanofluides à base d ’eau sont étudiés. Les tailles des particules étudiées sont 29 nm pour CuO-eau, 36 et 47 nm pour ALCL-eau. Le …

Definiteness and Quantification: Evidence from Shan
… I develop an account of definiteness and quantification that (i) connects the mass/count distinction to atomicity—providing a unified approach to count and measure quantification, (ii) argues that classifier morphology is required by cumulative nouns, (iii) proposes a typology of …

Contrastive representation learning for bioimage quantification
… progress towards automating the analysis and quantification of large-scale, high-resolution imaging data. However, the majority of current deep learning systems for bioimage analysis is trained with manual annotations, leading to limitations in their generalization capabilities. To further …

High-throughput quantification of glycoprotein sialylation
Sialic acid can improve qualities of therapeutic glycoproteins, such as circulatory half-life, biological activity, and solubility. In production of therapeutic glycoproteins, a high-throughput method (HTM) is required for process monitoring and optimization to ensure consistent and optimal sialic …

Quantification of Aggregate Formation in Prochlorococcus
Prochlorococcus, a unicellular cyanobacterium, is the smallest and the numerically dominant phytoplankton found in the oligotrophic ocean. Despite being one of the most important primary producers in the ocean, there are many questions regarding its lifestyle. Over recent years, aggregates have …
