NETL together with the Quantum Science Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Pittsburgh Quantum Institute (PQI) to hold a joint workshop on April 16th as part of the PQI2021 Virtual Workshop on quantum information science, held April 13-16.
As a free workshop, PQI2021 gave attendees the opportunity to explore panel discussions on quantum science applications in communications, defense and other topics, along with a series of speakers from national and international universities.
The field of quantum mechanics has laid the foundation for science and engineering in the 20th century, forming the roots of semiconductors, superconductors, magnetic materials and the periodic table. The increasingly sophisticated ability to understand the quantum nature of matter led to the development of many inventions such as transistors, lasers and MRI scanners, which have profoundly transformed society technologically.
Quantum information science (QIS) is a newly emerging area of research for NETL and is expected to profoundly change the practice of science and engineering in the coming decades. QIS technology exploits quantum phenomena for performing tasks that are impossible to do today, such as finding prime factors of large numbers or elucidating reaction mechanisms in complex chemical systems.
This workshop will focus on current problems in materials sciences that are pertinent to multi-scale modeling. One example (that is of interest to the research of the organizers) is modeling and simulation of thin film growth, where coarse-grained (continuum) models describe the macroscopic evolution of the morphology, while microscopic calculations (such as density-functional theory) are indispensable input to these models. Also, the microscopics are often influences by long-range interactions; one important example is elasticity, and one needs to understand how continuum elasticity can be combined with atomistic or continuum simulation methods. It is the goal to bring together researchers with expertise in different theoretical approaches that are interested in solving multi-scale problems in materials science and condensed matter physics.
Cook JA, Julious SA, Sones W, et al. Practical help for specifying the target difference in sample size calculations for RCTs: the DELTA2 five-stage study, including a workshop. Southampton (UK): NIHR Journals Library; 2019 Oct. (Health Technology Assessment, No. 23.60.)
This report summarises the Difference ELicitation in TriAls2 (DELTA2) advice and recommendations for researchers and funder representatives on specifying the target difference and undertaking a sample size calculation for a randomised controlled trial. Details of the work carried out to inform the development of the document are also provided in the report. A summary of the key topics and recommendations for practice and reporting are provided below.
To aid those new to the topic and to encourage better practice regarding the specification of the target difference for a randomised controlled trial, the following recommendations are made when the conventional approach to the sample size calculation is used.
A set of core items should be reported in all key trial documents (protocols, grant applications and main results papers) to ensure reproducibility of the sample size calculation. Recommended core reporting items when the conventional sample size approach has been used are as follows:
Trial results papers should always reference the trial protocol. Additional items to give further explanation of the rationale should be provided when space allows (e.g. grant applications and trial protocols). When the calculation deviates from the conventional approach, whether by research question or statistical framework, this should be clearly specified. The reporting items would correspondingly need appropriate modification.
The workshop will be focused on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies in radiation therapy. With this workshop, we hope to open a discussion about the state of radiation therapy, the state of AI and related technologies, and pathway to revolutionizing the field to ultimately improve cancer patient outcome and quality of life. We believe that in working with the intelligent minds at MICCAI, the field of radiation therapy with greatly benefit from the exposure of the latest cutting-edge algorithms, and MICCAI will grow from tackling the unique challenges in radiation therapy.
In particular, we will focus on the application/development AI and related technologies in 2 fronts: 1) image guided treatment delivery, and 2) image guided treatment strategy. Image guided treatment delivery will be focused on advancements of technologies that are used during the delivery of the radiation to the patient for image guided radiation therapy (IGRT), which includes developments in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), fluoroscopy, surface imaging, motion management, and other modalities that are used for IGRT. Image guided treatment strategy will involve technologies that are used in the clinical pipeline leading up to the delivery, which include segmentation techniques and algorithms on CT, MRI, and/or PET, treatment planning, dose calculation, quality assurance and error detection, etc.
CBCT, fluoroscopy, surface imaging, and related submissions for image guided treatment delivery will focus on the use of the imaging modalities for accurate and precise delivery of the planned radiation dose onto the tumor and healthy tissue. Motion management includes immobilization methods and imaging for motion verification or prediction. Segmentation related submissions will focus on the segmentation that is specific to the radiotherapy pipeline, and may use CT, MRI, and/or PET images for algorithm development. Treatment planning submissions will focus on techniques and algorithms for improving the plan quality and/or the planning efficiency. Dose calculation related submissions may focus on photon, electron, protons, or heavy ion, with applications to radiation therapy. Quality assurance and error detection submissions including ensuring the calculated dose matches the delivered dose, identifying human mistakes during treatment planning/delivery, incident learning, risk analysis, and process control.
We believe that the MICCAI workshop for AI in radiation therapy is the perfect platform for providing discussion of the state of radiation therapy, the state of AI and related technologies, and pathway to revolutionizing the field to ultimately improve cancer patient outcome and quality of life.
Neutrino nuclear responses are crucial for neutrino studies in nuclei. Nuclear responses for ββ decays are described in terms of nuclear matrix elements. They have extensively been studied theoretically in terms of nuclear models. However, calculated values are sensitive to nuclear parameters used in the calculations. Thus experimental studies of nuclear responses are useful for checking the calculations and for providing data relevant to the nuclear responses.
The present workshop aims at productive discussions on ββ-ν responses (nuclear matrix elements) and related ν responses in astro particle physics to find possible ways to study the ν responses with L>0, which are crucial for neutrino-lass ββ decays and SN neutrinos, and others and to promote corporative works internationally.
This workshop is in line with the recent international statement;
-u.ac.jp/ejiri/DBD-Lett and the statement at the recent workshop at Durham in May 2005.
N2 - To meet the ever increasing demand for computational speed and use of ever larger datasets, multi GPU installations look very tempting. Lunarc and the Theoretical Astrophysics group at Lund Observatory collaborate on a pilot project to evaluate and utilize multi-GPU architectures for scientific calculations. Starting with a small workshop in 2009, continued investigations eventually lead to the procurement of the GPU-resource Timaeus, which is a four-node eight-GPU cluster with two Nvidia m2050 GPU-cards per node. The resource is housed within the larger cluster Platon and share disk-, network-and system resources with that cluster. The inauguration of Timaeus coincided with the meeting "Computational Physics with GPUs" in November 2010, hosted by the Theoretical Astrophysics group at Lund Observatory. The meeting comprised of a two-day workshop on GPU-computing and a two-day science meeting on using GPUs as a tool for computational physics research, with a particular focus on astrophysics and computational biology. Today Timaeus is used by research groups from Lund, Stockholm and Lule in fields ranging from Astrophysics to Molecular Chemistry. We are investigating the use of GPUs with commercial software packages and user supplied MPI-enabled codes. Looking ahead, Lunarc will be installing a new cluster during the summer of 2011 which will have a small number of GPU-enabled nodes that will enable us to continue working with the combination of parallel codes and GPU-computing. It is clear that the combination of GPUs/CPUs is becoming an important part of high performance computing and here we will describe what has been done at Lunarc regarding GPU-computations and how we will continue to investigate the new and coming multi-GPU servers and how they can be utilized in our environment.
