We present high sensitivity, low radio frequency continuum observations of the ELAIS-N1 field with 32 hours of observations of the uGMRT Band-2 ( MHz) covering $5.86\,\tex…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey Complete Core Catalogue: Core mass function variations between nearby molecular clouds
Kate Pattle, James Di Francesco, Jenny Hatchell +14
We present a catalogue of dense cores identified in James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Survey SCUBA-2 observations of nearby star-forming clouds. We identified 2257 de…
Development of a defacing algorithm to protect the privacy of head and neck cancer patients in publicly-accessible radiotherapy datasets
Kayla O'Sullivan-Steben, Luc Galarneau, John Kildea
Introduction: The rise in public medical imaging datasets has raised concerns about patient reidentification from head CT scans. However, existing defacing algorithms often remove…
Quantification of head and neck cancer patients' anatomical changes during radiotherapy: prediction of replanning need
Odette Rios-Ibacache, James Manalad, Kayla O'Sullivan-Steben +5
Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who undergo radiotherapy (RT) may experience anatomical changes during treatment, compromising the validity of the initial treatment plan, neces…
Learning-Based Modeling of a Magnetically Steerable Soft Suction Device for Endoscopic Endonasal Interventions
Majid Roshanfar, Alex Zhang, Changyan He +4
This paper introduces a learning-based modeling framework for a magnetically steerable soft suction device designed for endoscopic endonasal brain tumor resection. The device is mi…
Millimeter-wave observations of Euclid Deep Field South using the South Pole Telescope: A data release of temperature maps and catalogs
M. Archipley, A. Hryciuk, L. E. Bleem +108
Context. The South Pole Telescope third-generation camera (SPT-3G) has observed over 10,000 square degrees of sky at 95, 150, and 220 GHz (3.3, 2.0, 1.4 mm, respectively) and will…
Group Sequential Design with Posterior and Posterior Predictive Probabilities
Luke Hagar, Shirin Golchi, Marina B. Klein
Group sequential designs drive innovation in clinical, industrial, and corporate settings. Early stopping for failure in sequential designs conserves experimental resources, wherea…
Meta-analysis of median survival times with inverse-variance weighting
Sean McGrath, Cheng-Han Yang, Jonathan Kimmelman +3
We consider the problem of meta-analyzing outcome measures based on median survival times. Primary studies with time-to-event outcomes often report estimates of median survival tim…
Is checking for sequential positivity violations getting you down? Try sPoRT!
Arthur Chatton, Michael Schomaker, Miguel-Angel Luque-Fernandez +2
Background: Sequential positivity is often a necessary assumption for drawing causal inferences, such as through marginal structural modeling. Unfortunately, verification of this a…
Markov switching zero-inflated space-time multinomial models for comparing multiple infectious diseases
Dirk Douwes-Schultz, Alexandra M. Schmidt, Laís Picinini Freitas +1
Univariate zero-inflated models are increasingly being used to account for excess zeros in spatio-temporal infectious disease counts. However, the multivariate case is challenging…
Development and Validation of a Deep-Learning Model for Differential Treatment Benefit Prediction for Adults with Major Depressive Disorder Deployed in the Artificial Intelligence in Depression Medication Enhancement (AIDME) Study
David Benrimoh, Caitrin Armstrong, Joseph Mehltretter +8
INTRODUCTION: The pharmacological treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) relies on a trial-and-error approach. We introduce an artificial intelligence (AI) model aiming to pe…
Hydrodynamical simulations of proton ingestion flashes in Type I X-ray Bursts
Simon Guichandut, Michael Zingale, Andrew Cumming
We perform the first multidimensional fluid simulations of thermonuclear helium ignition underneath a hydrogen-rich shell. This situation is relevant to Type I X-ray bursts on neut…
Penalized G-estimation for effect modifier selection in a structural nested mean model for repeated outcomes
Ajmery Jaman, Guanbo Wang, Ashkan Ertefaie +4
Effect modification occurs when the impact of the treatment on an outcome varies based on the levels of other covariates known as effect modifiers. Modeling these effect difference…
Conditional forecasting of bus travel time and passenger occupancy with Bayesian Markov regime-switching vector autoregression
Xiaoxu Chen, Zhanhong Cheng, Alexandra M. Schmidt +1
Accurately forecasting bus travel time and passenger occupancy with uncertainty is essential for both travelers and transit agencies/operators. However, existing approaches to fore…
A Comparison between Markov Switching Zero-inflated and Hurdle Models for Spatio-temporal Infectious Disease Counts
Mingchi Xu, Dirk Douwes-Schultz, Alexandra M. Schmidt
In epidemiological studies, zero-inflated and hurdle models are commonly used to handle excess zeros in reported infectious disease cases. However, they can not model the persisten…
Dual-encoded magnetization transfer and diffusion imaging and its application to tract-specific microstructure mapping
Ilana R Leppert, Pietro Bontempi, Christopher D Rowley +6
We present a novel dual-encoded magnetization transfer (MT) and diffusion-weighted sequence and demonstrate its potential to resolve distinct properties of white matter fiber tract…
metamedian: An R package for meta-analyzing studies reporting medians
Sean McGrath, XiaoFei Zhao, Omer Ozturk +3
When performing an aggregate data meta-analysis of a continuous outcome, researchers often come across primary studies that report the sample median of the outcome. However, standa…
The imprint of convection on Type I X-ray bursts: Pauses in photospheric radius expansion lightcurves
