Project description:Droplets produced within microfluidics have not only attracted the attention of researchers to develop complex biological, industrial and clinical testing systems but also played a role as a bit of data. The flow of droplets within a network of microfluidic channels by stimulation of their movements, trajectories, and interaction timing, can provide an opportunity for preparation of complex and logical microfluidic circuits. Such mechanical-based circuits open up avenues to mimic the logic of electrical circuits within microfluidics. Recently, simple microfluidic-based logical elements such as AND, OR, and NOT gates have been experimentally developed and tested to model basic logic conditions in laboratory settings. In this work, we develop new microfluidic networks, control the shape of channels and speed of droplet movement, and regulate the size of bubbles in order to extend the logical elements to six new logic gates, including AND/OR type 1, AND/OR type 2, NOT type 1, NOT type 2, Flip-Flop, Synchronizer, and a parametric model of T-junction as a bubble generator. We further designed and simulated a novel microfluidic Decoder 1 to 2, a Decoder 2 to 4, and a microfluidic circuit that combines several individual logic gates into one complex circuit. Further fabrication and experimental testing of these newly introduced logic gates within microfluidics enable implementing complex circuits in high-throughput microfluidic platforms for tissue engineering, drug testing and development, and chemical synthesis and process design.

Project description:Interventions: None
Primary outcome(s): The primary outcome of the study is the accuracy of the CAD-CNN system for predicting histology of diminutive colorectal polyps (1-5mm) compared with the accuracy of the prediction of the endoscopist. Both the CAD-CNN system and the endoscopist will use NBI for their predictions.
Accuracy is defined as the percentage of correctly predicted optical diagnoses of the CAD-CNN system and/or endoscopist compared to the gold standard pathology. For the calculation of the accuracy, adenomas and SSLs will be dichotomised as neoplastic polyps, while HPs and other non-neoplastic histology are considered non-neoplastic.

Project description:Scaling the number of qubits while maintaining high-fidelity quantum gates remains a key challenge for quantum computing. Presently, superconducting quantum processors with >50 qubits are actively available. For these systems, fixed-frequency transmons are attractive because of their long coherence and noise immunity. However, scaling fixed-frequency architectures proves challenging because of precise relative frequency requirements. Here, we use laser annealing to selectively tune transmon qubits into desired frequency patterns. Statistics over hundreds of annealed qubits demonstrate an empirical tuning precision of 18.5 MHz, with no measurable impact on qubit coherence. We quantify gate error statistics on a tuned 65-qubit processor, with median two-qubit gate fidelity of 98.7%. Baseline tuning statistics yield a frequency-equivalent resistance precision of 4.7 MHz, sufficient for high-yield scaling beyond 103 qubit levels. Moving forward, we anticipate selective laser annealing to play a central role in scaling fixed-frequency architectures.

Project description:Neural prostheses translate neural activity from the brain into control signals for guiding prosthetic devices, such as computer cursors and robotic limbs, and thus offer individuals with disabilities greater interaction with the world. However, relatively low performance remains a critical barrier to successful clinical translation; current neural prostheses are considerably slower, with less accurate control, than the native arm. Here we present a new control algorithm, the recalibrated feedback intention-trained Kalman filter (ReFIT-KF) that incorporates assumptions about the nature of closed-loop neural prosthetic control. When tested in rhesus monkeys implanted with motor cortical electrode arrays, the ReFIT-KF algorithm outperformed existing neural prosthetic algorithms in all measured domains and halved target acquisition time. This control algorithm permits sustained, uninterrupted use for hours and generalizes to more challenging tasks without retraining. Using this algorithm, we demonstrate repeatable high performance for years after implantation in two monkeys, thereby increasing the clinical viability of neural prostheses.

Project description:Drug screening is an important part of the drug development pipeline for the pharmaceutical industry. Traditional, lab-based methods are increasingly being augmented with computational methods, ranging from simple molecular similarity searches through more complex pharmacophore matching to more computationally intensive approaches, such as molecular docking. The latter simulates the binding of drug molecules to their targets, typically protein molecules. In this work, we describe BUDE, the Bristol University Docking Engine, which has been ported to the OpenCL industry standard parallel programming language in order to exploit the performance of modern many-core processors. Our highly optimized OpenCL implementation of BUDE sustains 1.43 TFLOP/s on a single Nvidia GTX 680 GPU, or 46% of peak performance. BUDE also exploits OpenCL to deliver effective performance portability across a broad spectrum of different computer architectures from different vendors, including GPUs from Nvidia and AMD, Intel's Xeon Phi and multi-core CPUs with SIMD instruction sets.

Project description:Accurate and controllable regulatory elements such as promoters and ribosome binding sites (RBSs) are indispensable tools to quantitatively regulate gene expression for rational pathway engineering. Therefore, de novo designing regulatory elements is brought back to the forefront of synthetic biology research. Here we developed a quantitative design method for regulatory elements based on strength prediction using artificial neural network (ANN). One hundred mutated Trc promoter & RBS sequences, which were finely characterized with a strength distribution from 0 to 3.559 (relative to the strength of the original sequence which was defined as 1), were used for model training and test. A precise strength prediction model, NET90_19_576, was finally constructed with high regression correlation coefficients of 0.98 for both model training and test. Sixteen artificial elements were in silico designed using this model. All of them were proved to have good consistency between the measured strength and our desired strength. The functional reliability of the designed elements was validated in two different genetic contexts. The designed parts were successfully utilized to improve the expression of BmK1 peptide toxin and fine-tune deoxy-xylulose phosphate pathway in Escherichia coli. Our results demonstrate that the methodology based on ANN model can de novo and quantitatively design regulatory elements with desired strengths, which are of great importance for synthetic biology applications.

Project description:Parallel multi-thread processing in advanced intelligent processors is the core to realize high-speed and high-capacity signal processing systems. Optical neural network (ONN) has the native advantages of high parallelization, large bandwidth, and low power consumption to meet the demand of big data. Here, we demonstrate the dual-layer ONN with Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) network and nonlinear layer, while the nonlinear activation function is achieved by optical-electronic signal conversion. Two frequency components from the microcomb source carrying digit datasets are simultaneously imposed and intelligently recognized through the ONN. We successfully achieve the digit classification of different frequency components by demultiplexing the output signal and testing power distribution. Efficient parallelization feasibility with wavelength division multiplexing is demonstrated in our high-dimensional ONN. This work provides a high-performance architecture for future parallel high-capacity optical analog computing.

Project description:With the introduction of various advanced deep learning algorithms, initiatives for image classification systems have transitioned over from traditional machine learning algorithms (e.g., SVM) to Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) using deep learning software tools. A prerequisite in applying CNN to real world applications is a system that collects meaningful and useful data. For such purposes, Wireless Image Sensor Networks (WISNs), that are capable of monitoring natural environment phenomena using tiny and low-power cameras on resource-limited embedded devices, can be considered as an effective means of data collection. However, with limited battery resources, sending high-resolution raw images to the backend server is a burdensome task that has direct impact on network lifetime. To address this problem, we propose an energy-efficient pre- and post- processing mechanism using image resizing and color quantization that can significantly reduce the amount of data transferred while maintaining the classification accuracy in the CNN at the backend server. We show that, if well designed, an image in its highly compressed form can be well-classified with a CNN model trained in advance using adequately compressed data. Our evaluation using a real image dataset shows that an embedded device can reduce the amount of transmitted data by ?71% while maintaining a classification accuracy of ?98%. Under the same conditions, this process naturally reduces energy consumption by ?71% compared to a WISN that sends the original uncompressed images.

Project description:Rational protein design aims at the targeted modification of existing proteins. To reach this goal, software suites like Rosetta propose sequences to introduce the desired properties. Challenging design problems necessitate the representation of a protein by means of a structural ensemble. Thus, Rosetta multi-state design (MSD) protocols have been developed wherein each state represents one protein conformation. Computational demands of MSD protocols are high, because for each of the candidate sequences a costly three-dimensional (3D) model has to be created and assessed for all states. Each of these scores contributes one data point to a complex, design-specific energy landscape. As neural networks (NN) proved well-suited to learn such solution spaces, we integrated one into the framework Rosetta:MSF instead of the so far used genetic algorithm with the aim to reduce computational costs. As its predecessor, Rosetta:MSF:NN administers a set of candidate sequences and their scores and scans sequence space iteratively. During each iteration, the union of all candidate sequences and their Rosetta scores are used to re-train NNs that possess a design-specific architecture. The enormous speed of the NNs allows an extensive assessment of alternative sequences, which are ranked on the scores predicted by the NN. Costly 3D models are computed only for a small fraction of best-scoring sequences; these and the corresponding 3D-based scores replace half of the candidate sequences during each iteration. The analysis of two sets of candidate sequences generated for a specific design problem by means of a genetic algorithm confirmed that the NN predicted 3D-based scores quite well; the Pearson correlation coefficient was at least 0.95. Applying Rosetta:MSF:NN:enzdes to a benchmark consisting of 16 ligand-binding problems showed that this protocol converges ten-times faster than the genetic algorithm and finds sequences with comparable scores.

Project description:Background: Today's machine-learning based dermatologic research has largely focused on pigmented/non-pigmented lesions concerning skin cancers. However, studies on machine-learning-aided diagnosis of depigmented non-melanocytic lesions, which are more difficult to diagnose by unaided eye, are very few. Objective: We aim to assess the performance of deep learning methods for diagnosing vitiligo by deploying Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and comparing their diagnosis accuracy with that of human raters with different levels of experience. Methods: A Chinese in-house dataset (2,876 images) and a world-wide public dataset (1,341 images) containing vitiligo and other depigmented/hypopigmented lesions were constructed. Three CNN models were trained on close-up images in both datasets. The results by the CNNs were compared with those by 14 human raters from four groups: expert raters (>10 years of experience), intermediate raters (5–10 years), dermatology residents, and general practitioners. F1 score, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), specificity, and sensitivity metrics were used to compare the performance of the CNNs with that of the raters. Results: For the in-house dataset, CNNs achieved a comparable F1 score (mean [standard deviation]) with expert raters (0.8864 [0.005] vs. 0.8933 [0.044]) and outperformed intermediate raters (0.7603 [0.029]), dermatology residents (0.6161 [0.068]) and general practitioners (0.4964 [0.139]). For the public dataset, CNNs achieved a higher F1 score (0.9684 [0.005]) compared to the diagnosis of expert raters (0.9221 [0.031]). Conclusion: Properly designed and trained CNNs are able to diagnose vitiligo without the aid of Wood's lamp images and outperform human raters in an experimental setting.
