Hand-portable NMR Instrument for Point of Care Diagnostics
Fri, Nov 14, 2014 @ 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Pablo Prado, One Resonance, LLC
Talk Title: Hand-portable NMR Instrument for Point of Care Diagnostics
Series: Medical Imaging Seminar Series
Abstract: Open-concept NMR sensors have been used in the oil industry for over 20 years. Single-sided NMR probes are effective tools for in-situ material assessment for large objects. This has been demonstrated in applications such as moisture in wood, near surface water content in soil and rubber cross-linking in tires. Similar concepts can be utilized to inspect skin tissue and even fat content in the human liver. During this presentation we will discuss general aspects of open-concept NMR instrumentation.
Biography: Dr. Prado is the President of One Resonance LLC and co-founder and CEO of One Resonance Sensors, LLC. He has more than 20 years of experience with NMR instrumentation. In previous positions he was Senior Department Manager and New Product Introduction Lead at GE; VP Development at T2 Biosystems; VP Engineering at Quasar Federal Systems; and CTO at Progression, Inc.Dr. Prado is inventor for 9 issued patent and author of 2 book chapters and over 40 peer-reviewed articles.

NL Seminar - Machine Reading of the Biomedical Literature: It's All About Data
Fri, Nov 14, 2014 @ 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Information Sciences Institute
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Gully Burns, USC/ISI
Talk Title: Machine Reading of the Biomedical Literature: It's All About Data
Series: Natural Language Seminar
Abstract: Like most scientific disciplines, cancer biology involves performing experiments and interpreting them. At present, most modeling efforts center on trying to bring together collections of interpretations as 'pathway diagrams' but do not attempt to capture the semantics of supporting experimental data. Here, I will describe a new strategic approach for machine reading of scientific articles based on a generic representation of experimental data with explicit examples within the field of cancer biology. I will also discuss this effort in the context of the Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) and present an informal generative story for your consideration and feedback.
Biography: Gully Burns develops pragmatic biomedical knowledge engineering systems for scientists that provide directly useful functionality in their everyday use and is based on innovative, cutting edge computer science. He was originally trained as a physicist at Imperial College in London before switching to do a Ph.D. in neuroscience at Oxford. He came to work at USC in 1997, developing the 'NeuroScholar' project in Larry Swanson's lab before joining the Information Sciences Institute in 2006. He is now works as project leader in ISI's Information Integration Group.

Astani CEE Seminar
Fri, Nov 14, 2014 @ 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Dominiki Asimaki, Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering, Caltech
Talk Title: Site effects in three dimensions: Theory, experiments and numerical simulations
Abstract:
This seminar will cover a series of studies on site effects, ranging from semi-ana¬lytical solutions of wave propagation in infinite wedges, to centrifuge experiments on topo¬graphy effects, to numerical simulations of idealized and true ground surface features subjected to seismic loading. Starting from the simplest configuration, I will first discuss our work on the response of infinite wedges, which comprises a semi-analytical solution and numerical simulations of wedge response to incident in-plane shear (SV) and compressional (P) waves. I will present results, focusing specifically on the insight that idealized features provide into the physics of wave focusing and scattering by non-flat surfaces in the context of earthquake ground motion simulations. I will then summarize results of a collaborative project that used cen¬trifuge experiments to study site effects for single, step-like slopes on the surface of shallow granu¬lar soils overlaying stiff bedrock; and I will present in detail our validated nonlinear numerical simulations of the said experiments, which we have extended to study the effects of soil stiffness and thickness, and the effects of bedrock-soil velocity contrast on the ground motion characteristics near the slope crest. Our results have shown that the inelastic response of pressure-dependent soils near the surface has a significant impact on the manifestation of topographic amplification, which may differ substantially from viscoelastic model predictions traditionally used in studies of site effects on the surface of non-flat ground. In the last part of the talk, I will present a system of dimensionless parameter¬s that we have synthesized from our semi-analytical, experimental and numerical results for the study of 3D site effects; a systematic parametric investigation of 3D site effects for idealized features; and a series of site-specific simulations at strong motion station sites in Southern California with irregular ground surface topography.
Biography: Dominiki Asimaki is a Professor of Mechanical and Civil Engineering at Caltech. She has a bachelorâs diploma in civil engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece (1998), and an MS (2000) and PhD (2004) from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT. Her research combines geotechnical engineering, computational mechanics, and structural dynamics to study how natural and man-made geotechnical systems (ridges, valleys, dams, tunnels, building foundations, and offshore structures) respond to dynamic loading induced, for example, by earthquakes, hurricanes, and blast. She then uses results from these studies to develop predictive models for resilient design procedures for geotechnical systems, and for hazard assessment and mitigation in urban environments. Domniki is associate editor for the Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering (ASCE), for Earthquake Spectra (EERI), and for Soils and Foundations (Japanese Geotechnical Society); and she is the recipient of the 2009 Arthur Casagrande Award from the ASCE Geo-Institute and the 2012 Shamsher Prakash Research Award in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering.
