AlignEM-SWiFT: Graphical Interface for Aligning Electron Micrographs Using Signal Whitening Fourier Transforms
(2022-09-29)We have built an intuitive graphical user interface for aligning serial section electron micrographs (ssEM) using Signal Whitening Fourier Transforms (SWiFT). AlignEM-SWiFT is a graphical extension of SWiFT-IR, a proven ... -
AlphaFold 2 Monomer: Deployment in an HPC Environment
(2022-09-29)AlphaFold2, developed by Google DeepMind, is a breakthrough in the grand challenge of protein structure prediction. While the breakthrough will have profound impact on biomedical research, its application faces significant ... -
Applications of Machine Learning Algorithms for Coral Disease Fate in Caribbean Corals
(2022-09-29)The Caribbean is known as a coral disease “hot spot” due to the high prevalence of acute and chronic diseases that have plagued corals in the area. Two diseases, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) and White Plague ... -
Automated Detection and Tracking of Infield Cotton Bolls
(2022-09-29)Cotton fiber accounts for nearly 25% of world-wide textile fiber use. Texas produces more cotton than any other state. It contributes approximately 45% of the U.S. cotton production, with about 25% of the entire U.S. crop, ... -
Automated Identification of Cotton Diseases and Pests
(2022)There is a constant need for optimizing food production and farming across the world, espe- cially in impoverished countries where the economy heavily depends on agriculture. The major contributing factors to crop yield ... -
An Automated MRI Analysis Tool to Measure the Tumor Volume and Assess the Treatment Response for Glioblastoma
(2022-09-29)Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive grade IV glioma tumor. During surgical resection, complete tumor removal is impossible due to irregular structure and can be infiltrative into the adjacent brain tissue. ... -
Developing and Using Reference Datasets to Support Reproducible, Big Data Neuroscience
(2022-09-29)"Advancements in data collection in neuroimaging have ushered in an “Age of Big Data” in neuroscience(Fair et al., 2021; Poldrack & Gorgolewski, 2014; Webb-Vargas et al., 2017). With the growing size of neuroimaging ... -
Discovering Pathophysiologic Networks of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Using the BrainMap Community Portal through the Texas Advanced Computing Center
(2022-09-29)Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) seizures cause regional damage, detectable on imaging of brain structure (VBM) and function (VBM). Damage is mediated by aberrant neuronal activity propagating along existing network architecture. ... -
Discovering Spatially Coherent Gene Modules from Spatial Transcriptomics Data
(2022-09-29)Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is an emerging technology that quantifies gene expression at spatial resolution from intact tissue sections. Although ST is enabling unprecedented studies on spatial gene expression, it has ... -

Flow and Scalar Transfer Characteristics for a Circular Colony of Vegetation
(2022-09-29)Local and global flow structures, as well as transfer and transport of a passive scalar from a circular colony of uniformly distributed vegetation stems, are investigated at Re = 2100, Re = 4200, and Re = 8400. The number ... -
GPU-Acceleration of PDE Solvers for Large-Scale Wave Simulation
(2022-09-29)Large-scale simulations of wave-type equations have many industrial applications, such as in oil and gas exploration. Realistic simulations, which involve a vast amount of data, are often performed on multiple nodes of an ... -

Implications of Complex Terrain Topography on the Performance of a Real Wind Farm
(2022-09-29)"Terrain topography affects the local flow in the atmospheric boundary layer by modifying the local wind characteristics. Specifically, it enhances turbulence development over a region where wind turbines are usually ... -
Improving Structural Brain Connectomes through Statistical Evaluation via Model Optimization
(2022-09-29)Accurate mapping of the structural brain connectomes is fundamental to understanding the role of white matter in health and disease. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) and fiber tractography provide the ... -
Investigating the Permissive Environment of Perisynaptic Astroglia for Information Storage in the Dentate Gyrus
(2022-09-29)Perisynaptic astroglial processes (PAPs), are active modulators of neuronal activity and directly contribute to information processing in the brain. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments have demonstrated that PAPs undergo ... -
Job Losses, Marriage Troubles and Rich Uncles: Foreclosure Prevention Policy when Borrowers Hold Private Information about their Financial Health
(2022-09-29)My dissertation studies foreclosure prevention in environments where borrowers have an incentive to appear distressed in order to receive mortgage reductions. Such behavior is possible when borrowers have knowledge about ... -
Modeling Developmental Signaling Proteins Using Alphafold2
(2022-09-29)Vertebrate animal development is governed by the signaling proteins that pattern fields of embryonic cells and direct their intended tissue fate. Vg1 and Nodal are two such signaling proteins that induce the formation of ... -
Molding Aortic Valve Hemodynamics Using a Novel Immersed Boundary Method
(2022-09-29)This research entails the study of the transfer and transport of a passive scalar around the aortic valve to aid in understanding Calcific Aortic Valve Disease (CAVD). Simulations were conducted using a novel interpolation-free ... -
MuBuCo: Mutation Burden Composition
(2022-09-29)Gene mutations can vary by type, in terms of affecting a single site, spanning hundreds of base pairs, or their over/under-representation in cancer cells. Collectively, these mutation types include: single nucleotide ...
