Improving mechanical ventilation for patient care through repetitive control [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Mechanical ventilators sustain life of patients that are unable to breathe (sufficiently) on their own. The aim of this paper is to improve pressure tracking performance of mechanical ventilators for a wide variety of sedated patients. This is achieved by utilizing the repetitive nature of sedated ventilation through repetitive control.

Deriving ventilation imaging from 4DCT by deep convolutional neural network [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: Functional imaging is emerging as an important tool for lung cancer treatment planning and evaluation. Compared with traditional methods such as nuclear medicine ventilation-perfusion (VQ), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computer tomography (SPECT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which use contrast agents to ...

L’architettura come sistema di differenze
Aisthesis, 2012 There are many cases in which the “direction” of architecture seems to be indifferent to the architect who designs it. Among these, the Guggenheim Museum in New York by Frank Lloyd Wright is highly emblematic: through the long and troubled project’s ...

Clinical Intervention Prediction and Understanding using Deep Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Real-time prediction of clinical interventions remains a challenge within intensive care units (ICUs). This task is complicated by data sources that are noisy, sparse, heterogeneous and outcomes that are imbalanced. In this paper, we integrate data from all available ICU sources (vitals, labs, notes, demographics) and focus on learning rich ...

North, South, East and West: The Environmental Approach to Transparent Design
Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2010 Architecture has always been interested in transparency but this characteristic has strong implications for energy performance. For many years architecture has neglected this factor but today, in a time when society has developed an awareness of the ...
