Mapping individual tree crowns to extract morphological attributes in urban areas using unmanned aerial vehicle-based LiDAR and RGB data by Geonung Park, Bonggeun Song, Kyunghun Park

“…This study introduces a novel framework integrating machine learning (ML)- and DL-based approaches to map ITCs and extract the morphological attributes in urban areas using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Using ML-based approaches, we conducted object-based image analysis to optimize the use of the WS algorithm because applying WS directly to urban environments, as in forests, overestimated the ITC size by 151.37 %. …”

A phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) in the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) study reveals potential pleiotropy in African Americans. by Sarah A Pendergrass, Steven Buyske, Janina M Jeff, Alex Frase, Scott Dudek, Yuki Bradford, Jose-Luis Ambite, Christy L Avery, Petra Buzkova, Ewa Deelman, Megan D Fesinmeyer, Christopher Haiman, Gerardo Heiss, Lucia A Hindorff, Chun-Nan Hsu, Rebecca D Jackson, Yi Lin, Loic Le Marchand, Tara C Matise, Kristine R Monroe, Larry Moreland, Kari E North, Sungshim L Park, Alex Reiner, Robert Wallace, Lynne R Wilkens, Charles Kooperberg, Marylyn D Ritchie, Dana C Crawford

“…We performed a hypothesis-generating phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) to identify and characterize cross-phenotype associations, where one SNP is associated with two or more phenotypes, between thousands of genetic variants assayed on the Metabochip and hundreds of phenotypes in 5,897 African Americans as part of the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) I study. The PAGE I study was a National Human Genome Research Institute-funded collaboration of four study sites accessing diverse epidemiologic studies genotyped on the Metabochip, a custom genotyping chip that has dense coverage of regions in the genome previously associated with cardio-metabolic traits and outcomes in mostly European-descent populations. …”

An Investigation of Dosimetric Consequences of the Anatomic Changes at First Fraction in VMAT of Prostate Cancer Cases using Deformable Planning CT and KVCBCT Image Registration by Hussam Hameed Jassim, Hassan A Nedaei, Nooshin Banaee, Ghazale Geraily, Ali Kazemian

“…The mean doses to the bladder were on average 4% lower than those in the pCT plans, while the mean doses to the rectum were on average 8% higher than those in the pCT plans. Conclusion: The use of VMAT based on kilovoltage kVCBCT and Deformtion Image Registration (DIR) can lead to re-decreasing the dose to the bladder while increasing that to the rectum, with the same PTV dose coverage.…”
