Accelerating Least Squares Imaging Using Deep Learning Techniques
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Wave equation techniques have been an integral part of geophysical imaging workflows to investigate the Earth's subsurface. Least-squares reverse time migration (LSRTM) is a linearized inversion problem that iteratively minimizes a misfit functional as a function of the model perturbation. The success of the inversion largely depends on our ability to handle large systems of equations given the massive computation costs. The size of the system almost exponentially increases with the demand for

... igher resolution images in complicated subsurface media. We propose an unsupervised deep learning approach that leverages the existing physics-based models and machine learning optimizers to achieve more accurate and cheaper solutions. We compare different optimizers and demonstrate their efficacy in mitigating imaging artifacts. Further, minimizing the Huber loss with mini-batch gradients and Adam optimizer is not only less memory-intensive but is also more robust. Our empirical results on synthetic, densely sampled datasets suggest faster convergence to an accurate LSRTM result than a traditional approach.
Colloidal Gels with Tunable Mechanomorphology Regulate Endothelial Morphogenesis
2019
Scientific Reports
Endothelial morphogenesis into capillary networks is dependent on the matrix morphology and mechanical properties. In current 3D gels, these two matrix features are interdependent and their distinct roles in endothelial organization are not known. Thus, it is important to decouple these parameters in the matrix design. Colloidal gels can be engineered to regulate the microstructural morphology and mechanics in an independent manner because colloidal gels are formed by the aggregation of

... s into a self-similar 3D network. In this work, gelatin based colloidal gels with distinct mechanomorphology were developed by engineering the electrostatic interaction mediated aggregation of particles. By altering the mode of aggregation, colloidal gels showed either compact dense microstructure or tenuous strand-like networks, and the matrix stiffness was controlled independently by varying the particle fraction. Endothelial Cell (EC) networks were favored in tenuous strand-like microstructure through increased cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions, while compact dense microstructure inhibited the networks. For a given microstructure, as the gel stiffness was increased, the extent of EC network was reduced. This result demonstrates that 3D matrix morphology and mechanics provide distinct signals in a bidirectional manner during EC network formation. Colloidal gels can be used to interrogate the angiogenic responses of ECs and can be developed as a biomaterial for vascularization.

... gments (helix, strand and coil) in the exact order that they follow in the sequence. Representative analyses on orthologous (homologous across species) proteins demonstrate wide segmental variations of physicochemical properties. Such variations provide insights to relate the adaptation of these proteins in a given functional constraint under diverse environmental conditions. Thus, the program finds applications in the structural and evolutionary analysis of proteins. Availability: PROPAB is freely available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/propab/ for worldwide user.
Increased Toll-like Receptor-2 Expression on Nonclassic CD16+Monocytes from Patients with Inflammatory Stage of Eales' Disease
2011
Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science
PURPOSE. To identify the distribution, differential Toll-like receptor (TLR) expression, and functional contribution of monocyte subpopulations in the inflammatory stage of Eales' disease (ED). METHODS. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from nine patients during the inflammatory stage of ED and nine age-and sex-matched healthy controls. The expression of CD14, CD16, TLR-2, and TLR-4 on monocytes was measured by flow cytometry. The CD14 ϩ , CD16 Ϫ , and CD16 ϩ monocyte populations

... were sorted on the basis of magnetic-activated cell-sorting methodology, and levels of cytokines were measured by ELISA. RESULTS. In ED patients, the number of circulating monocytes was significantly expanded compared with that in controls (P ϭ 0.01), with a marked increase in the nonclassic CD16 ϩ subset, which showed an activated phenotype in patients that correlated with levels of serum proinflammatory cytokines and clinical progression. A higher expression of cell surface TLR-2 (P ϭ 0.02), but not TLR-4, was found in monocytes of patients with ED. Furthermore, TLR-2 was expressed at higher levels on CD16 ϩ monocytes than on CD16 Ϫ monocytes in patients, whereas no significant variation was found in TLR-4 expression on different monocyte subsets. Peptidoglycan-induced TNF-␣ expression correlated with TLR-2 expression in monocytes isolated from controls (r ϭ 0.85, P ϭ 0.0061), but not in monocytes isolated from ED patients (r ϭ 0.553, P ϭ 0.1328). CONCLUSIONS. These results indicate that in the pathogenesis of ED, TLR activation and increased numbers of nonclassic CD16 ϩ monocytes are crucial regulators, along with the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines that perpetuate the inflammatory process in the retina.

2015
Scientific Reports
We present a fresh and broad yet simple approach towards information retrieval in general and diagnostics in particular by applying the theory of complex networks on multidimensional, dynamic images. We demonstrate a successful use of our method with the time series generated from high content thermal imaging videos of patients suffering from the aqueous deficient dry eye (ADDE) disease. Remarkably, network analyses of thermal imaging time series of contact lens users and patients upon whom

We also propose a general framework for the transformation of multidimensional images to networks for futuristic biometry. Our approach is general and scalable to other fluctuation-based devices where network parameters derived from fluctuations, act as effective discriminators and diagnostic markers.
Is Cartridge Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CBNAAT) Better Than Conventional Tests in Diagnosing Childhood Tuberculosis? Evidence from a Tertiary Care Hospital in Eastern India
2019
Saudi Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Tuberculosis is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in childhood. It is challenging to diagnose in childhood population due to difficulty in collection of sample and paucibacillary nature. Despite of considering mycobacterium culture as gold-standard test, it is time consuming (4-8 weeks) while traditional ZN stain is poorly sensitive or specific. In 2013, WHO endorsed Cartridge Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CBNAAT) for diagnosis of TB. Still, there is lack of adequate

... search on TB detection efficacy of CBNAAT over ZN stain or culture. Aims & Objective: Comparison of CBNAAT over ZN stain & mycobacterium culture, in terms of Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value, Negative predictive value. Materials & Methods: Total of 565 patients admitted to Paediatric Medicine department over 2 years from July 2017 to July 2019 with clinical signs (radiological) and symptoms of local & disseminated tuberculosis and history of close contact were selected and grouped under pulmonary and extrapulmonary categories. Each sample was analyzed by CBNAAT, ZN smear and culture. Results: In the pulmonary group, CBNAAT detected 43 out of 185 sputum samples (23.2%), 110 out of 308 gastric lavage samples (35.7%), 0 out of 4 BAL samples. Besides, in extrapulmonary group-6 out of 41 CSF samples, 3 out of 15 pleural fluid, 0 out of 7 ascitic fluid and 3 out of 5 LN biopsy samples were detected by CBNAAT. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of CBNAAT in reference to ZN stain was 100%, 92.1%, 70.6% and 100% while in reference to culture was 93.2%, 99.1%, 96.2% and 97.2% respectively. Conclusion: CBNAAT assay is highly sensitive and specific to detect tuberculosis rapidly comparing to the traditional tests with rifampicin resistance associated with mutation of rpoB gene in a single test. It also helps in avoiding injudicious use of anti-tubercular drugs.
POWAINDv1.0: A Program for Protein-Water Interactions Determination
2018
Bioinformation
Protein is the most exposed biomolecule in the aqueous environment of the cell. Its structure maintains a delicate balance between the rigidity and the flexibility that imparts binding specificity to its substrate/ligand, etc. Intramolecular interactions of polar and non-polar groups of amino acid residues and intermolecular weak interactions between these groups and shell-waters may contribute to the overall stability of the tertiary structure. However, the question as to what are the dynamics

... of interactions of shell-water with respect to weak forces and atom-groups of protein (AGP), requires systematic investigations. In this end, we have developed a procedure POWAINDv1.0 that analyzes interactions of crystallographic shell-waters (CSH) in residues and AGP specific manner. The shell-water and AGP specific bridge-interactions are also extracted. Further, the program analyzes favorable and unfavorable nature of each interaction based on the actual and 75% of the sum of van der Waals (vdW) radii of interacting atoms. The EXCEL-outputs are useful in understanding the profile for AGP-CSH interactions and contribution of each component in AGP. Taken together, the program provides intricate details on CSHprotein interactions and finds application in the structural Bioinformatics.
AUTOMINv1.0: an automation for minimization of Protein Data Bank files and its usage
2018
Bioinformation
Global minimal structure of protein/enzyme is energetically compromised that maintains an intricate balance between the rigidity and the flexibility. Such a state makes it interactive to its ligand molecules. Although protein data bank files (PDB) may have achieved the state, in many situations minimization has been crucial to overcome unwanted steric clashes, and other conformational strains. It is more so, when orthologous PDB structures that are intended in a given study, show variations in

... esolution, R-factor, shell-water contents, loop characteristics etc. Here, a fully automated procedure of minimization would be highly useful. AUTOMINv1.0 is such an automation of minimization that runs on any number of structure files with any number of chains in them along with the inclusion of selective/non-selective shell-waters interacting with polar and or non-polar atom-types of protein. Comparison of the mean binaryitems of salt-bridges of minimized and un-minimized structures (chains > 100) of nucleoside diphosphate kinase from mimi virus shows dramatic improvements in the earlier. Again, the mean steric clashes of 2AZ3.pdb are reduced upon minimization. Remarkably, the observed steric clashes between shell-waters and atom-types of protein are seen to be removed upon minimization. Taken together, AUTOMINv1.0 is an automation of minimization that finds applications in structural bioinformatics.
