Imagining the Voltage of Neurons Distributed Across Entire Brains of Larval Zebrafish by Wang, Zeguan

“…However, due to the high imaging speed and signal-to-noise ratio requirements of GEVIs, microscopy hardware to date has only been able to image the voltage of neurons within subregions of the brain, even for small animals like the larval zebrafish. To address this challenge, this thesis presents a high-speed remote scanning light-sheet microscope capable of imaging GEVI-expressing neurons distributed throughout entire brains of larval zebrafish at a volumetric rate of 200.8 Hz. …”

On Modular Pluggable Analyses Using Set Interfaces by Lam, Patrick, Kuncak, Viktor, Rinard, Martin

“…Each analysis verifies that the implementation of themodule 1) preserves important internal data structure representationinvariants and 2) conforms to a specification that uses formulas in a setalgebra to characterize the effects of operations on the data structure.The analyses use the common set abstraction to 1) characterize howobjects participate in multiple data structures and to 2) enable the interanalysiscommunication required to verify properties that depend onmultiple modules analyzed by different analyses.We characterize the key soundness property that an analysis plugin mustsatisfy to successfully participate in our system and present several analysisplugins that satisfy this property: a flag plugin that analyzes modulesin which abstract set membership is determined by a flag field in eachobject, and a graph types plugin that analyzes modules in which abstractset membership is determined by reachability properties of objects storedin tree-like data structures.…”

Synthesis and Properties of Flexible Polyurethane Using Ferric Catalyst for Hypopharyngeal Tissue Engineering by Shen, Zhisen, Wang, Jian, Lu, Dakai, Li, Qun, Zhou, Chongchang, Zhu, Yabin, Hu, Xiao

“…The product possessed a fast degradability due to its good wettability and good mechanical parameters with the elongations at break (137 ± 10%) and tensile strength (4.73 ± 0.46 MPa), which will make it a good matrix material for soft tissue like hypopharynx. Its biological properties were evaluated via in vitro and in vivo tests. …”

Improving depth sensitive fluorescence spectroscopy with wavefront shaping by Hsieh, Chao-Mao, Liu, Quan

“…In this study, we demonstrate that by using feedback based wavefront shaping, we can increase the signal contribution from the target and suppress that from the background region in tissue-like scattering phantoms. After wavefront optimization, the signal from the target can increase by quite a few times. …”

Exploring sequential VAE to handle time-series data by Tan, Colin G-Hao

“…This means that we want the VAE to not only learn the important features present in the data, but also to capture the temporal differences between consecutive data points in the latent space, which could be useful for tasks like out-of-distribution (OOD) detection. Ultimately, the results of this project hope to be able to improve the task of OOD detection, by proposing architectures that are able to perform well at the task.…”
