This process involves consolidation of metal powder using a heat source such as laser or electron beam. During the formation of three-dimensional(3D) objects by sintering metal powders layer by layer, many different thermal phenomena occur that can create defects or anomalies on the final printed part. Similar to other additive manufacturing techniques, PBF has been in practice for decades, yet it is still going through research and development endeavors which is required to understand the physics behind this process. Defects and deformations highly impact the product quality and reliability of the overall manufacturing process; hence, it is essential that we understand the reason and mechanism of defect generation in PBF process and take appropriate measures to rectify them. In this paper, we have attempted to study the effect of processing parameters (scanning speed, laser power) on the generation of defects in PBF process using a graph-based artificial neural network that uses numerical simulation results as input or training data. Use of graph-based machine learning is novel in the area of manufacturing let alone additive manufacturing or powder bed fusion. The outcome of this study provides an opportunity to design a feedback controlled in-situ online monitoring system in powder bed fusion to reduce printing defects and optimize the manufacturing process.Item A Large Open Access Dataset of Brain Metastasis 3D Segmentations with Clinical and Imaging Feature Information(Springer Nature, 2024-02-29) Ramakrishnan, Divya; Jekel, Leon; Chadha, Saahil; Janas, Anastasia; Moy, Harrison; Maleki, Nazanin; Sala, Matthew; Kaur, Manpreet; Cassinelli Petersen, Gabriel; Merkaj, Sara; von Reppert, Marc; Baid, Ujjwal; Bakas, Spyridon; Kirsch, Claudia; Davis, Melissa; Bousabarah, Khaled; Holler, Wolfgang; Lin, MingDe; Westerhoff, Malte; Aneja, Sanjay; Memon, Fatima; Aboian, Mariam S.; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of MedicineResection and whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) are standard treatments for brain metastases (BM) but are associated with cognitive side effects. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) uses a targeted approach with less side effects than WBRT. SRS requires precise identification and delineation of BM. While artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been developed for this, their clinical adoption is limited due to poor model performance in the clinical setting. The limitations of algorithms are often due to the quality of datasets used for training the AI network. The purpose of this study was to create a large, heterogenous, annotated BM dataset for training and validation of AI models. We present a BM dataset of 200 patients with pretreatment T1, T1 post-contrast, T2, and FLAIR MR images. The dataset includes contrast-enhancing and necrotic 3D segmentations on T1 post-contrast and peritumoral edema 3D segmentations on FLAIR. Our dataset contains 975 contrast-enhancing lesions, many of which are sub centimeter, along with clinical and imaging information. We used a streamlined approach to database-building through a PACS-integrated segmentation workflow.Item A measurement of faculty views on the meaning and value of student privacy(Springer, 2022-06-04) Jones, Kyle M. L.; VanScoy, Amy; Bright, Kawanna; Harding, Alison; Vedak, Sanika; Library and Information Science, School of Computing and InformaticsLearning analytics tools are becoming commonplace in educational technologies, but extant student privacy issues remain largely unresolved. It is unknown whether faculty care about student privacy and see privacy as valuable for learning. The research herein addresses findings from a survey of over 500 full-time higher education instructors. In the findings, we detail faculty perspectives of their privacy, students’ privacy, and the high degree to which they value both. Data indicate that faculty believe privacy is important to intellectual behaviors and learning, but the discussion argues that faculty make choices that put students at risk. While there seems to be a “privacy paradox,” our discussion argues that faculty are making assumptions about existing privacy protections and making instructional choices that could harm students because their “risk calculus” is underinformed. We conclude the article with recommendations to improve a faculty member’s privacy decision-making strategies and improve institutional conditions for student privacy.Item A Putative long-range RNA-RNA interaction between ORF8 and Spike of SARS-CoV-2(Public Library of Science, 2022-09-01) Omoru, Okiemute Beatrice; Pereira, Filipe; Janga, Sarath Chandra; Manzourolajdad, Amirhossein; BioHealth Informatics, School of Informatics and ComputingSARS-CoV-2 has affected people worldwide as the causative agent of COVID-19. The virus is related to the highly lethal SARS-CoV-1 responsible for the 2002-2003 SARS outbreak in Asia. Research is ongoing to understand why both viruses have different spreading capacities and mortality rates. Like other beta coronaviruses, RNA-RNA interactions occur between different parts of the viral genomic RNA, resulting in discontinuous transcription and production of various sub-genomic RNAs. These sub-genomic RNAs are then translated into other viral proteins. In this work, we performed a comparative analysis for novel long-range RNA-RNA interactions that may involve the Spike region. Comparing in-silico fragment-based predictions between reference sequences of SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 revealed several predictions amongst which a thermodynamically stable long-range RNA-RNA interaction between (23660-23703 Spike) and (28025-28060 ORF8) unique to SARS-CoV-2 was observed. The patterns of sequence variation using data gathered worldwide further supported the predicted stability of the sub-interacting region (23679-23690 Spike) and (28031-28042 ORF8). Such RNA-RNA interactions can potentially impact viral life cycle including sub-genomic RNA production rates.Item A systematic review of library makerspaces research(Elsevier, 2022-10) Kim, Soo Hyeon; Jung, Yong Ju; Choi, Gi Woong; Library and Information Science, School of Computing and InformaticsDespite the abundance of research on library makerspaces, systematic reviews of library makerspace research are lacking. As research on library makerspaces advances, the field needs reliable empirical findings to examine the impact of library makerspaces and identify research areas that are valuable for future research. Guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement, 43 out of 838 records were selected for the systematic review. The overall trend of research methodologies and theories, settings, participants, research purposes, as well as tools, technologies and programming in library makerspace research were identified. The findings reveal that qualitative studies that were descriptive in nature were the predominant approaches. While appropriate literatures were explored, theoretical frameworks were less used. This systematic review contributes new areas and directions for future research, including the need for expansion of research methodologies and theoretical frameworks and investigation of diverse users and types of making.Item A trustless architecture of blockchain-enabled metaverse(Elsevier, 2023-03) Xu, Minghui; Guo, Yihao; Hu, Qin; Xiong, Zehui; Yu, Dongxiao; Cheng, Xuizhen; Computer and Information Science, School of ScienceMetaverse has rekindled human beings’ desire to further break space-time barriers by fusing the virtual and real worlds. However, security and privacy threats hinder us from building a utopia. A metaverse embraces various techniques, while at the same time inheriting their pitfalls and thus exposing large attack surfaces. Blockchain, proposed in 2008, was regarded as a key building block of metaverses. it enables transparent and trusted computing environments using tamper-resistant decentralized ledgers. Currently, blockchain supports Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Non-fungible Tokens (NFT) for metaverses. However, the power of a blockchain has not been sufficiently exploited. In this article, we propose a novel trustless architecture of blockchain-enabled metaverse, aiming to provide efficient resource integration and allocation by consolidating hardware and software components. To realize our design objectives, we provide an On-Demand Trusted Computing Environment (OTCE) technique based on local trust evaluation. Specifically, the architecture adopts a hypergraph to represent a metaverse, in which each hyperedge links a group of users with certain relationship. Then the trust level of each user group can be evaluated based on graph analytics techniques. Based on the trust value, each group can determine its security plan on demand, free from interference by irrelevant nodes. Besides, OTCEs enable large-scale and flexible application environments (sandboxes) while preserving a strong security guarantee.Item A two-branch multi-scale residual attention network for single image super-resolution in remote sensing imagery(IEEE, 2024) Patnaik, Allen; Bhuyan, Manas K.; MacDorman, Karl F.High-resolution remote sensing imagery finds applications in diverse fields, such as land-use mapping, crop planning, and disaster surveillance. To offer detailed and precise insights, reconstructing edges, textures, and other features is crucial. Despite recent advances in detail enhancement through deep learning, disparities between original and reconstructed images persist. To address this challenge, we propose a two-branch multiscale residual attention network for single-image super-resolution reconstruction. The network gathers complex information about input images from two branches with convolution layers of different kernel sizes. The two branches extract both low-level and high-level features from the input image. The network incorporates multiscale efficient channel attention and spatial attention blocks to capture channel and spatial dependencies in the feature maps. This results in more discriminative features and more accurate predictions. Moreover, residual modules with skip connections can help to overcome the vanishing gradient problem. We trained the proposed model on the WHU-RS19 dataset, collated from Google Earth satellite imagery, and validated it on the UC Merced, RSSCN7, AID, and real-world satellite datasets. The experimental results show that our network uses features at different levels of detail more effectively than state-of-the-art models.
