An Overview of Human Activity Recognition Using Wearable Sensors: Healthcare and Artificial Intelligence
With the rapid development of the internet of things (IoT) and artificial
intelligence (AI) technologies, human activity recognition (HAR) has been
applied in a variety of domains such as security and surveillance, human-robot
interaction, and entertainment. Even though a number of surveys and review
papers have been published, there is a lack of HAR overview papers focusing on
healthcare applications that use wearable sensors. Therefore, we fill in the
gap by presenting this overview paper. In particular, we present our projects
to illustrate the system design of HAR applications for healthcare. Our
projects include early mobility identification of human activities for
intensive care unit (ICU) patients and gait analysis of Duchenne muscular
dystrophy (DMD) patients. We cover essential components of designing HAR
systems including sensor factors (e.g., type, number, and placement location),
AI model selection (e.g., classical machine learning models versus deep
learning models), and feature engineering. In addition, we highlight the
challenges of such healthcare-oriented HAR systems and propose several research
opportunities for both the medical and the computer science community
Mindcontrol: a web application for brain segmentation quality control
Tissue classification plays a crucial role in the investigation of normal neural development, brain-behavior relationships, and the disease mechanisms of many psychiatric and neurological illnesses. Ensuring the accuracy of tissue classification is important for quality research and, in particular, the translation of imaging biomarkers to clinical practice. Assessment with the human eye is vital to correct various errors inherent to all currently available segmentation algorithms. Manual quality assurance becomes methodologically difficult at a large scale - a problem of increasing importance as the number of data sets is on the rise. To make this process more efficient, we have developed Mindcontrol, an open-source web application for the collaborative quality control of neuroimaging processing outputs. The Mindcontrol platform consists of a dashboard to organize data, descriptive visualizations to explore the data, an imaging viewer, and an in-browser annotation and editing toolbox for data curation and quality control. Mindcontrol is flexible and can be configured for the outputs of any software package in any data organization structure. Example configurations for three large, open-source datasets are presented: the 1000 Functional Connectomes Project (FCP), the Consortium for Reliability and Reproducibility (CoRR), and the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE) Collection. These demo applications link descriptive quality control metrics, regional brain volumes, and thickness scalars to a 3D imaging viewer and editing module, resulting in an easy-to-implement quality control protocol that can be scaled for any size and complexity of study
Production of and mesons in UU collisions at GeV
The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider measured
and mesons at midrapidity in UU collisions at
GeV in a wide transverse momentum range. Measurements were performed in the
decay modes. A strong suppression of
and meson production at high transverse momentum was observed in
central UU collisions relative to binary scaled results. Yields of
and mesons measured in UU collisions show similar suppression
pattern to the ones measured in AuAu collisions at
GeV for similar numbers of participant nucleons. The / ratios do
not show dependence on centrality or transverse momentum, and are consistent
with previously measured values in hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus,
nucleus-nucleus, and collisions.Comment: 403 authors from 72 institutions, 13 pages, 6 figures, 7 tables, 2012

Measurement of jet-medium interactions via direct photon-hadron correlations in AuAu and Au collisions at GeV
We present direct photon-hadron correlations in 200 GeV/A AuAu, Au
and collisions, for direct photon from 5--12 GeV/, collected
by the PHENIX Collaboration in the years from 2006 to 2011. We observe no
significant modification of jet fragmentation in Au collisions,
indicating that cold nuclear matter effects are small or absent. Hadrons
carrying a large fraction of the quark's momentum are suppressed in AuAu
compared to and Au. As the momentum fraction decreases, the
yield of hadrons in AuAu increases to an excess over the yield in
collisions. The excess is at large angles and at low hadron and is most
pronounced for hadrons associated with lower momentum direct photons.
Comparison to theoretical calculations suggests that the hadron excess arises
from medium response to energy deposited by jets.Comment: 578 authors from 80 institutions, 11 pages, 7 figures, data from
2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011. v2 is version accepted for publication in

ATHENA detector proposal - a totally hermetic electron nucleus apparatus proposed for IP6 at the Electron-Ion Collider
ATHENA has been designed as a general purpose detector capable of delivering the full scientific scope of the Electron-Ion Collider. Careful technology choices provide fine tracking and momentum resolution, high performance electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry, hadron identification over a wide kinematic range, and near-complete hermeticity.This article describes the detector design and its expected performance in the most relevant physics channels. It includes an evaluation of detector technology choices, the technical challenges to realizing the detector and the R&D required to meet those challenges
