Histotripsy Ablation of Bone Tumors: Feasibility Study in Excised Canine Osteosarcoma Tumors
In this study, we investigated the feasibility of treating primary OS tumors with histotripsy using a 500-kHz transducer on excised canine OS samples harvested after surgery at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at Virginia Tech. Samples were embedded in gelatin tissue phantoms and treated with the 500-kHz histotripsy system using one- or two-cycle pulses at a pulse repetition frequency of 250 Hz and a dosage of 4000 pulses/point.

Cattle stress and pregnancy responses when imposing different restraint methods for conducting fixed time artificial insemination.
The objective was to determine if there was a difference in pregnancy rate as a result of fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) in Bos taurus females when using a breeding box compared with a squeeze chute for restraining cows when conducting FTAI. There were FTAI treatment regimens imposed on cows and heifers at two separate locations (Virginia Tech University, VT; and R.A. Brown Ranch, RAB) with the FTAI being conducted while animals were restrained in a squeeze chute (n = 169) or a breeding box (n = 162). There was imposing of a 7-day Co-Sync + CIDR pre-breeding treatment regimen. Females were randomly assigned to t...

Sensors, Vol. 20, Pages 6330: Motion Inference Using Sparse Inertial Sensors, Self-Supervised Learning, and a New Dataset of Unscripted Human Motion
eck In recent years, wearable sensors have become common, with possible applications in biomechanical monitoring, sports and fitness training, rehabilitation, assistive devices, or human-computer interaction. Our goal was to achieve accurate kinematics estimates using a small number of sensors. To accomplish this, we introduced a new dataset (the Virginia Tech Natural Motion Dataset) of full-body human motion capture using XSens MVN Link that contains more than 40 h of unscripted daily life motion in the open world. Using this dataset, we conducted self-supervised machine learning to do kinematics inference: we predict...

Sensors, Vol. 20, Pages 1341: Wind Profiling in the Lower Atmosphere from Wind-Induced Perturbations to Multirotor UAS
We present a model-based approach to estimate the vertical profile of horizontal wind velocity components using motion perturbations of a multirotor unmanned aircraft system (UAS) in both hovering and steady ascending flight. The state estimation framework employed for wind estimation was adapted to a set of closed-loop rigid body models identified for an off-the-shelf quadrotor. The quadrotor models used for wind estimation were characterized for hovering and steady ascending flight conditions ranging between 0 and 2 m/s. The closed-loop models were obtained using system identification algorithms to determine model struct...

A network-based response  feature matrix as a brain injury metric.
A network-based response feature matrix as a brain injury metric. Biomech Model Mechanobiol. 2019 Nov 23;: Authors: Wu S, Zhao W, Rowson B, Rowson S, Ji S Abstract Conventional brain injury metrics are scalars that treat the whole head/brain as a single unit but do not characterize the distribution of brain responses. Here, we establish a network-based "response feature matrix" to characterize the magnitude and distribution of impact-induced brain strains. The network nodes and edges encode injury risks to the gray matter regions and their white matter interconnections, respectiv...

Supercomputing Improves Predictions of Fluid Flow in Rock
Reports on the use of supercomputers in the field of geology. The effort to collect and analyze data for a range of geologic materials is time consuming and leaves researchers with only static images of the dynamic process of fluid flow. From 2014 to 2018, researchers led by computational scientist James McClure of Virginia Tech used the 27-petaflop Cray XK7 Titan supercomputer at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to advance the team’s computational code for modeling fluid flow in complex, porous geometries. Guided by synchrotron data, McClure’s team models ...
