Project description:We present an online database that provides unrestricted and free access to over 16 million plant phenological observations from over 8,000 stations in Central Europe between the years 1880 and 2009. Unique features are (1) a flexible and unrestricted access to a full-fledged database, allowing for a wide range of individual queries and data retrieval, (2) historical data for Germany before 1951 ranging back to 1880, and (3) more than 480 curated long-term time series covering more than 100 years for individual phenological phases and plants combined over Natural Regions in Germany. Time series for single stations or Natural Regions can be accessed through a user-friendly graphical geo-referenced interface. The joint databases made available with the plant phenological database PPODB render accessible an important data source for further analyses of long-term changes in phenology. The database can be accessed via www.ppodb.de .

Project description:In the 1970s, Professor Robbins and his coauthors extended the Vile and Wald inequality in order to derive the fundamental theoretical results regarding likelihood ratio based sequential tests with power one. The law of the iterated logarithm confirms an optimal property of the power one tests. In parallel with Robbins's decision-making procedures, we propose and examine sequential empirical likelihood ratio (ELR) tests with power one. In this setting, we develop the nonparametric one- and two-sided ELR tests. It turns out that the proposed sequential ELR tests significantly outperform the classical nonparametric t-statistic-based counterparts in many scenarios based on different underlying data distributions.

Project description:IntroductionSurgical resection is an effective treatment for temporal lobe epilepsy but can result in visual field defects. This could be minimized if surgeons knew the exact location of the anterior part of the optic radiation (OR), the Meyer's loop. To this end, there is increasing prevalence of image-guided surgery using diffusion MRI tractography. Despite considerable effort in developing analysis methods, a wide discrepancy in Meyer's loop reconstructions is observed in the literature. Moreover, the impact of differences in image acquisition on Meyer's loop tractography remains unclear. Here, while employing the same state-of-the-art analysis protocol, we explored the extent to which variance in data acquisition leads to variance in OR reconstruction.MethodsDiffusion MRI data were acquired for the same thirteen healthy subjects using standard and state-of-the-art protocols on three scanners with different maximum gradient amplitudes (MGA): Siemens Connectom (MGA?=?300 mT/m); Siemens Prisma (MGA?=?80 mT/m) and GE Excite-HD (MGA?=?40 mT/m). Meyer's loop was reconstructed on all subjects and its distance to the temporal pole (ML-TP) was compared across protocols.ResultsA significant effect of data acquisition on the ML-TP distance was observed between protocols (p?<?.01 to 0.0001). The biggest inter-acquisition discrepancy for the same subject across different protocols was 16.5?mm (mean: 9.4?mm, range: 3.7-16.5?mm).ConclusionWe showed that variance in data acquisition leads to substantive variance in OR tractography. This has direct implications for neurosurgical planning, where part of the OR is at risk due to an under-estimation of its location using conventional acquisition protocols.

Project description:Over the last two decades, zebrafish have been established as a genetically versatile model system for investigating many different aspects of vertebrate developmental biology. With the credentials of zebrafish as a developmental model now well recognized, the emerging new opportunity is the wider application of zebrafish biology to aspects of human disease modelling. This rapidly increasing use of zebrafish as a model for human disease has necessarily generated interest in the anatomy of later developmental phases such as the larval, juvenile, and adult stages, during which many of the key aspects of organ morphogenesis and maturation take place. Anatomical resources and references that encompass these stages are non-existent in zebrafish and there is therefore an urgent need to understand how different organ systems and anatomical structures develop throughout the life of the fish.To overcome this deficit we have utilized the technique of optical projection tomography to produce three-dimensional (3D) models of larval fish. In order to view and display these models we have created FishNet http://www.fishnet.org.au, an interactive reference of zebrafish anatomy spanning the range of zebrafish development from 24 h until adulthood.FishNet contains more than 36,000 images of larval zebrafish, with more than 1,500 of these being annotated. The 3D models can be manipulated on screen or virtually sectioned. This resource represents the first complete embryo to adult atlas for any species in 3D.

Project description:IntroductionIn recent years, the application of deep learning models at the edge has gained attention. Typically, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are trained on graphics processing units (GPUs) and optimized for efficient execution on edge devices. Training ANNs directly at the edge is the next step with many applications such as the adaptation of models to specific situations like changes in environmental settings or optimization for individuals, e.g., optimization for speakers for speech processing. Also, local training can preserve privacy. Over the last few years, many algorithms have been developed to reduce memory footprint and computation.MethodsA specific challenge to train recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for processing sequential data is the need for the Back Propagation Through Time (BPTT) algorithm to store the network state of all time steps. This limitation is resolved by the biologically-inspired E-prop approach for training Spiking Recurrent Neural Networks (SRNNs). We implement the E-prop algorithm on a prototype of the SpiNNaker 2 neuromorphic system. A parallelization strategy is developed to split and train networks on the ARM cores of SpiNNaker 2 to make efficient use of both memory and compute resources. We trained an SRNN from scratch on SpiNNaker 2 in real-time on the Google Speech Command dataset for keyword spotting.ResultWe achieved an accuracy of 91.12% while requiring only 680 KB of memory for training the network with 25 K weights. Compared to other spiking neural networks with equal or better accuracy, our work is significantly more memory-efficient.DiscussionIn addition, we performed a memory and time profiling of the E-prop algorithm. This is used on the one hand to discuss whether E-prop or BPTT is better suited for training a model at the edge and on the other hand to explore architecture modifications to SpiNNaker 2 to speed up online learning. Finally, energy estimations predict that the SRNN can be trained on SpiNNaker2 with 12 times less energy than using a NVIDIA V100 GPU.

Project description:We propose a novel technique to boost the power of testing a high-dimensional vector H : ? = 0 against sparse alternatives where the null hypothesis is violated only by a couple of components. Existing tests based on quadratic forms such as the Wald statistic often suffer from low powers due to the accumulation of errors in estimating high-dimensional parameters. More powerful tests for sparse alternatives such as thresholding and extreme-value tests, on the other hand, require either stringent conditions or bootstrap to derive the null distribution and often suffer from size distortions due to the slow convergence. Based on a screening technique, we introduce a "power enhancement component", which is zero under the null hypothesis with high probability, but diverges quickly under sparse alternatives. The proposed test statistic combines the power enhancement component with an asymptotically pivotal statistic, and strengthens the power under sparse alternatives. The null distribution does not require stringent regularity conditions, and is completely determined by that of the pivotal statistic. As specific applications, the proposed methods are applied to testing the factor pricing models and validating the cross-sectional independence in panel data models.

Project description:Detection of natural selection is one of the main interests in population genetics. Thus, many tests have been developed for detecting natural selection using genomic data. Although it is recognized that the utility of tests depends on several evolutionary factors, such as the timing of selection, strength of selection, frequency of selected alleles, demographic events, and initial frequency of selected allele when selection started acting (softness of selection), the relationships between such evolutionary factors and the power of tests are not yet entirely clear. In this study, we investigated the power of 4 tests: Tajiama's D, Fay and Wu's H, relative extended haplotype homozygosity (rEHH), and integrated haplotype score (iHS), under ranges of evolutionary parameters and demographic models to quantitatively expand the understanding of approaches for detecting selection. The results show that each test detects selection within a limited parameter range, and there are still wide ranges of parameters for which none of these tests work effectively. In addition, the parameter space in which each test shows the highest power overlaps the empirical results of previous research. These results indicate that our present perspective of adaptation is limited to only a part of actual adaptation.

Project description:ObjectiveThis paper presents a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing platform for evaluating the performance of fluid resuscitation control algorithms. The proposed platform is a cyber-physical system that integrates physical devices with computational models and computer-based algorithms.MethodsThe HIL test bed is evaluated against in silico and in vivo data to ensure the hemodynamic variables are appropriately predicted in the proposed platform. The test bed is then used to investigate the performance of two fluid resuscitation control algorithms: a decision table (rule-based) and a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller.ResultsThe statistical evaluation of test bed indicates that similar results are observed in the HIL test bed, in silico implementation, and the in vivo data, verifying that the HIL test bed can adequately predict the hemodynamic responses. Comparison of the two fluid resuscitation controllers reveals that both controllers stabilized hemodynamic variables over time and had similar speed to efficiently achieve the target level of the hemodynamic endpoint. However, the accuracy of the PID controller was higher than the rule-based for the scenarios tested in the HIL platform.ConclusionThe results demonstrate the potential of the HIL test bed for realistic testing of physiologic controllers by incorporating physical devices with computational models of physiology and disturbances.SignificanceThis type of testing enables relatively fast evaluation of physiologic closed-loop control systems to aid in iterative design processes and offers complementary means to existing techniques (e.g., in silico, in vivo, and clinical studies) for testing of such systems against a wide range of disturbances and scenarios.

Project description:Blueberry is a member of the Ericaceae family, which also includes closely related cranberry and more distantly related rhododendron, azalea, and mountain laurel. Blueberry is a major berry crop in the United States, and one that has great nutritional and economical value. Extreme low temperatures, however, reduce crop yield and cause major losses to US farmers. A better understanding of the genes and biochemical pathways that are up- or down-regulated during cold acclimation is needed to produce blueberry cultivars with enhanced cold hardiness. To that end, the blueberry genomics database (BBDG) was developed. Along with the analysis tools and web-based query interfaces, the database serves both the broader Ericaceae research community and the blueberry research community specifically by making available ESTs and gene expression data in searchable formats and in elucidating the underlying mechanisms of cold acclimation and freeze tolerance in blueberry.BBGD is the world's first database for blueberry genomics. BBGD is both a sequence and gene expression database. It stores both EST and microarray data and allows scientists to correlate expression profiles with gene function. BBGD is a public online database. Presently, the main focus of the database is the identification of genes in blueberry that are significantly induced or suppressed after low temperature exposure.By using the database, researchers have developed EST-based markers for mapping and have identified a number of "candidate" cold tolerance genes that are highly expressed in blueberry flower buds after exposure to low temperatures.
