Utilization of Time Series Tools in Life-sciences and Neuroscience.

ABSTRACT: Time series tools are part and parcel of modern day research. Their usage in the biomedical field; specifically, in neuroscience, has not been previously quantified. A quantification of trends can tell about lacunae in the current uses and point towards future uses. We evaluated the principles and applications of few classical time series tools, such as Principal Component Analysis, Neural Networks, common Auto-regression Models, Markov Models, Hidden Markov Models, Fourier Analysis, Spectral Analysis, in addition to diverse work, generically lumped under time series category. We quantified the usage from two perspectives, one, information technology professionals', other, researchers utilizing these tools for biomedical and neuroscience research. For understanding trends from the information technology perspective, we evaluated two of the largest open source question and answer databases of Stack Overflow and Cross Validated. We quantified the trends in their application in the biomedical domain, and specifically neuroscience, by searching literature and application usage on PubMed. While the use of all the time series tools continues to gain popularity in general biomedical and life science research, and also neuroscience, and so have been the total number of questions asked on Stack overflow and Cross Validated, the total views to questions on these are on a decrease in recent years, indicating well established texts, algorithms, and libraries, resulting in engineers not looking for what used to be common questions a few years back. The use of these tools in neuroscience clearly leaves room for improvement.

Project description:BackgroundThe web has seen an explosion of chemistry and biology related resources in the last 15 years: thousands of scientific journals, databases, wikis, blogs and resources are available with a wide variety of types of information. There is a huge need to aggregate and organise this information. However, the sheer number of resources makes it unrealistic to link them all in a centralised manner. Instead, search engines to find information in those resources flourish, and formal languages like Resource Description Framework and Web Ontology Language are increasingly used to allow linking of resources. A recent development is the use of userscripts to change the appearance of web pages, by on-the-fly modification of the web content. This opens possibilities to aggregate information and computational results from different web resources into the web page of one of those resources.ResultsSeveral userscripts are presented that enrich biology and chemistry related web resources by incorporating or linking to other computational or data sources on the web. The scripts make use of Greasemonkey-like plugins for web browsers and are written in JavaScript. Information from third-party resources are extracted using open Application Programming Interfaces, while common Universal Resource Locator schemes are used to make deep links to related information in that external resource. The userscripts presented here use a variety of techniques and resources, and show the potential of such scripts.ConclusionThis paper discusses a number of userscripts that aggregate information from two or more web resources. Examples are shown that enrich web pages with information from other resources, and show how information from web pages can be used to link to, search, and process information in other resources. Due to the nature of userscripts, scientists are able to select those scripts they find useful on a daily basis, as the scripts run directly in their own web browser rather than on the web server. This flexibility allows the scientists to tune the features of web resources to optimise their productivity.

Project description:Machining is an essential part of modern manufacturing. During machining, the wear of cutting tools increases, eventually impairing product quality and process stability. Determining when to change a tool to avoid these consequences, while still utilizing most of a tool's lifetime is challenging, as the tool lifetime can vary by more than 100% despite constant process parameters [1]. To account for these variations, all tools are usually changed after a predefined period of time. However, this strategy wastes a significant proportion of the remaining lifetime of most tools. By monitoring the wear of tools, all tools can potentially be used until their individual end of life. Research, development, and assessment of such monitoring methods require large amounts of data. Nevertheless, only very few datasets are publicly available. The presented dataset provides labeled, multivariate time series data of milling processes with varying tool wear and for varying machine tools. The width of the flank wear land VB is used as a degradation metric. A total of nine end milling cutters were worn from an unused state to end of life (VB ≈ 150 µm) in 3-axis shoulder milling of cast iron 600-3/S. The tools were of the same model (solid carbide end milling cutter, 4 edges, coated with TiN-TiAlN) but from different batches. Experiments were conducted on three different 5-axis milling centers of a similar size. Workpieces, experimental setups, and process parameters were identical on all of the machine tools. The process forces were recorded with a dynamometer with a sample rate of 25 kHz. The force or torque of the spindle and feed drives, as well as the position control deviation of feed drives, were recorded from the machine tool controls with a sample rate of 500 Hz. The dataset holds a total of 6,418 files labeled with the wear (VB), machine tool (M), tool (T), run (R), and cumulated tool contact time (C). This data could be used to identify signal features that are sensitive to wear, to investigate methods for tool wear estimation and tool life prediction, or to examine transfer learning strategies. The data thereby facilitates research in tool condition monitoring and predictive maintenance in the domain of production technology.
