An analog VLSI vocal tract
… the first experimental integrated-circuit vocal tract by mapping fluid volume velocity to current, fluid pressure to voltage, and linear and nonlinear mechanical impedances to linear and nonlinear electrical impedances. The 275 jW analog vocal tract chip can be used with auditory processors in a …

Urinary tract infection and pre-eclampsia in pregnancy : incidence of urinary tract infection in pre-eclamptic
Some studies have found a positive association between UTI in pregnancy and the development of PET yet other studies have not found any such association. The objective is to determine the incidence of UTI in PET patients and thus determine if there is an assocition between UTI and PET.

TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH TARGETING BILIARY TRACT CANCER
<p>Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is malignant tumor that originates from the biliary tract, including cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and gallbladder cancer (GBC). In this translational research program targeting BTC, we focus on three aspects: the development of a combination treatment against CCA, the …

PATHOLOGY OF THE UROGENITAL TRACT IN DOMESTIC ANIMALS
Even though pathology of the urogenital tract in domestic animals is a wide field of research several topics are still poorly investigated, tumors in particular. Moving from this observation, my research is organized into two main topics: canine urothelial carcinoma and tumours of the genital …

Machine Learning for Tract Segmentation in dMRI data
… of the brain as a set of streamlines, called tractography. A streamline is a vectorial representation of thousands of neuronal axons expressing structural connectivity. An important task is to group the same functional streamlines into one tract segmentation. This work is extremely helpful for …

Comparative Respiratory Tract Pathology of Emerging Viral Infections
Increases in the number of infectious disease outbreaks affecting humans have been reported nearly every decade since the 1940’s. Many of these outbreaks have been caused by emerging zoonotic viruses. It has recently been estimated that there are at least 320,000 viruses in mammals that have yet to …

Optical diagnostics for oral and gastrointestinal tract pathologies
Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) are a significant global health burden. They are a precursor to oral cancer and indicate a tissue with a higher risk of developing a malignancy. Early diagnosis can improve patient outcomes by minimally invasive treatment, reduced mortality rate and …

Unsupervised learning of vocal tract sensory-motor synergies
… factor analysis for control of a simulated vocal tract is presented here. This framework is shown to mirror the articulatory phonology model of speech production and evidence is provided that articulatory gestures arise from learning an optimal encoding of vocal tract dynamics. Broad phonetic …

The effects of metformin on the gastrointestinal tract
… These studies suggest that the gastrointestinal tract may also be an important site of metformin action. In this thesis, 2D monolayer cultures generated from intestinal organoids were used to investigate the mechanisms of metformin action in intestinal cells. Bulk RNA-sequencing and pathway …

Studies on immunity in the male genital tract
The male genital tract is a major site of HIV acquisition and transmission. It is an obvious site for inducing immune responses to candidate HIV vaccines, to prevent infection or halt the spread of the virus. There are relatively few published studies characterising T cells in the male genital …
