Predictive analysis and mapping of indoor radon concentrations in a complex environment using kernel estimation: an application to Switzerland.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop models based on kernel regression and probability estimation in order to predict and map IRC in Switzerland by taking into account all of the following: architectural factors, spatial relationships between the measurements, as well as geological information. METHODS: We looked at about 240,000 IRC measurements carried out in about 150,000 houses. As predictor variables we included: building type, foundation type, year of construction, detector type, geographical coordinates, altitude, temperature and lithology into the kernel estimation models. We developed predictive maps as well as a map of the local probability to exceed 300 Bq/m(3). Additionally, we developed a map of a confidence index in order to estimate the reliability of the probability map. RESULTS: Our models were able to explain 28% of the variations of IRC data. All variables added information to the model. The model estimation revealed a bandwidth for each variable, making it possible to characterize the influence of each variable on the IRC estimation. Furthermore, we assessed the mapping characteristics of kernel estimation overall as well as by municipality. Overall, our model reproduces spatial IRC patterns which were already obtained earlier. On the municipal level, we could show that our model accounts well for IRC trends within municipal boundaries. Finally, we found that different building characteristics result in different IRC maps. Maps corresponding to detached houses with concrete foundations indicate systematically smaller IRC than maps corresponding to farms with earth foundation. CONCLUSIONS: IRC mapping based on kernel estimation is a powerful tool to predict and analyze IRC on a large-scale as well as on a local level. This approach enables to develop tailor-made maps for different architectural elements and measurement conditions and to account at the same time for geological information and spatial relations between IRC measurements.

Kernel-PCA data integration with enhanced interpretability

Background Nowadays, combining the different sources of information to improve the biological knowledge available is a challenge in bioinformatics. One of the most powerful methods for integrating heterogeneous data types are kernel-based methods. Kernel-based data integration approaches consist of two basic steps: firstly the right kernel is chosen for each data set; secondly the kernels from the different data sources are combined to give a complete representation of the available data for a given statistical task. Results We analyze the integration of data from several sources of information using kernel PCA, from the point of view of reducing dimensionality. Moreover, we improve the interpretability of kernel PCA by adding to the plot the representation of the input variables that belong to any dataset. In particular, for each input variable or linear combination of input variables, we can represent the direction of maximum growth locally, which allows us to identify those samples with higher/lower values of the variables analyzed. Conclusions The integration of different datasets and the simultaneous representation of samples and variables together give us a better understanding of biological knowledge.

Study of the impact of tissue density heterogeneities on 3-dimensional abdominal dosimetry: comparison between dose kernel convolution and direct monte carlo methods.

Dose kernel convolution (DK) methods have been proposed to speed up absorbed dose calculations in molecular radionuclide therapy. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of tissue density heterogeneities (TDH) on dosimetry when using a DK method and to propose a simple density-correction method. METHODS: This study has been conducted on 3 clinical cases: case 1, non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with (131)I-tositumomab; case 2, a neuroendocrine tumor treatment simulated with (177)Lu-peptides; and case 3, hepatocellular carcinoma treated with (90)Y-microspheres. Absorbed dose calculations were performed using a direct Monte Carlo approach accounting for TDH (3D-RD), and a DK approach (VoxelDose, or VD). For each individual voxel, the VD absorbed dose, D(VD), calculated assuming uniform density, was corrected for density, giving D(VDd). The average 3D-RD absorbed dose values, D(3DRD), were compared with D(VD) and D(VDd), using the relative difference Δ(VD/3DRD). At the voxel level, density-binned Δ(VD/3DRD) and Δ(VDd/3DRD) were plotted against ρ and fitted with a linear regression. RESULTS: The D(VD) calculations showed a good agreement with D(3DRD). Δ(VD/3DRD) was less than 3.5%, except for the tumor of case 1 (5.9%) and the renal cortex of case 2 (5.6%). At the voxel level, the Δ(VD/3DRD) range was 0%-14% for cases 1 and 2, and -3% to 7% for case 3. All 3 cases showed a linear relationship between voxel bin-averaged Δ(VD/3DRD) and density, ρ: case 1 (Δ = -0.56ρ + 0.62, R(2) = 0.93), case 2 (Δ = -0.91ρ + 0.96, R(2) = 0.99), and case 3 (Δ = -0.69ρ + 0.72, R(2) = 0.91). The density correction improved the agreement of the DK method with the Monte Carlo approach (Δ(VDd/3DRD) < 1.1%), but with a lesser extent for the tumor of case 1 (3.1%). At the voxel level, the Δ(VDd/3DRD) range decreased for the 3 clinical cases (case 1, -1% to 4%; case 2, -0.5% to 1.5%, and -1.5% to 2%). No more linear regression existed for cases 2 and 3, contrary to case 1 (Δ = 0.41ρ - 0.38, R(2) = 0.88) although the slope in case 1 was less pronounced. CONCLUSION: This study shows a small influence of TDH in the abdominal region for 3 representative clinical cases. A simple density-correction method was proposed and improved the comparison in the absorbed dose calculations when using our voxel S value implementation.

Evaluation of performance analysis software for Linux computing cluster

Tietokonejärjestelmän osien ja ohjelmistojen suorituskykymittauksista saadaan tietoa,jota voidaan käyttää suorituskyvyn parantamiseen ja laitteistohankintojen päätöksen tukena. Tässä työssä tutustutaan suorituskyvyn mittaamiseen ja mittausohjelmiin eli ns. benchmark-ohjelmistoihin. Työssä etsittiin ja arvioitiin eri tyyppisiä vapaasti saatavilla olevia benchmark-ohjelmia, jotka soveltuvat Linux-laskentaklusterin suorituskyvynanalysointiin. Benchmarkit ryhmiteltiin ja arvioitiin testaamalla niiden ominaisuuksia Linux-klusterissa. Työssä käsitellään myös mittausten tekemisen ja rinnakkaislaskennan haasteita. Benchmarkkeja löytyi moneen tarkoitukseen ja ne osoittautuivat laadultaan ja laajuudeltaan vaihteleviksi. Niitä on myös koottu ohjelmistopaketeiksi, jotta laitteiston suorituskyvystä saisi laajemman kuvan kuin mitä yhdellä ohjelmalla on mahdollista saada. Olennaista on ymmärtää nopeus, jolla dataa saadaan siirretyä prosessorille keskusmuistista, levyjärjestelmistä ja toisista laskentasolmuista. Tyypillinen benchmark-ohjelma sisältää paljon laskentaa tarvitsevan matemaattisen algoritmin, jota käytetään tieteellisissä ohjelmistoissa. Benchmarkista riippuen tulosten ymmärtäminen ja hyödyntäminen voi olla haasteellista.

GTK+ toolkit on mobile Linux devices

Linux -käyttöjärjestelmä on laajasti käytössä palvelin- ja työpöytätietokoneissa. Linux on lisäämässä suosiotaan kuitenkin myös sulautetuissa laitteissa, kuten PDA:issa, kännyköissä sekä erilaisissateollisuusjärjestelmissä. Näytön koko, suorituskyky ja käytettävyys asettavat omia erityisiä tarpeitaan laitteiden graafiselle käyttöliittymälle. Linux -käyttöjärjestelmälle on olemassa useita käyttöliittymäkirjastoja, joista GTK+ on yksi yleisimmin käytetyistä. Tämä diplomityö esittelee sulautetun Linux -käyttöjärjestelmän ja GTK+ käyttöliittymäkirjaston, selvittäen miten hyvin ne soveltuvat mobiileihin päätelaitteisiin. Yksi suurimmista esteistä työpöytäkäyttöön suunnattujen teknologioiden, kuten GTK+, muokkaamisessa mobiileihin päätelaitteisiin on suorituskyky. Osana tätä työtä kehitettiin GtkPerf -niminen työkalu, jolla GTK+:n suorituskykyä eri alustoilla pystytään helposti mittaamaan ja havaitsemaan mahdollisia pullonkauloja. Tämän työn johtopäätöksenä on, että pienillä muokkailuilla ja optimoinneilla GTK+ soveltuu myös mobiileihin päätelaitteisiin. Ensimmäinen kaupallisesti saatavilla oleva GTK+ -pohjainen päätelaite, Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, on tästä osoituksena.

CISNE-P: a global scheduling oriented to NOW environments

In this work, we present an integral scheduling system for non-dedicated clusters, termed CISNE-P, which ensures the performance required by the local applications, while simultaneously allocating cluster resources to parallel jobs. Our approach solves the problem efficiently by using a social contract technique. This kind of technique is based on reserving computational resources, preserving a predetermined response time to local users. CISNE-P is a middleware which includes both a previously developed space-sharing job scheduler and a dynamic coscheduling system, a time sharing scheduling component. The experimentation performed in a Linux cluster shows that these two scheduler components are complementary and a good coordination improves global performance significantly. We also compare two different CISNE-P implementations: one developed inside the kernel, and the other entirely implemented in the user space.

Käyttöliittymä verkonhallintaan sulautetussa Linux-käyttöjärjestelmässä

During the project we get familiar with Linksys WRT54GL wireless router and its network managing methods. Operating system is OpenWRT which is Linux-based distribution for embedded devices. OpenWRT uses two kind of approach for its network administration. The first one is web-based user interface and the second one is command line based. Both methods are working but do not solve all problems that competent network administrator can need for secured network managing. The goal of the project was design an NCurses-based user interface for network administration that can be run from command line. The user interface can be use for example from terminal via SSH which is yet faster and also light to use. The idea is to combine the user friendly of WWW-interface and the advanced options that command line based network managing can offer. Linux-based open source OpenWRT offers good development tools. There exist also a compact development community if there is need for further development of software in future. So far user interface for command line based network administrator is not available.
