UCLA Applied Math Summer REU Final Report. Placenta Imaging Classification: At Risk Detector (PICARD)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Each placenta image is accompanied by data about the mother. The only information accompanying the placenta concerning the child is the gestational age and birth weight. To find a correlation between placental features and child health further information about the true health of the child is required. Using the data set provided to the 2010 Summer REU the placentas are labeled as “at risk” or “not at risk” based solely upon the corresponding gestational age and birth weight of the child.

We examine three Monte Carlo sampling methods on idealized examples. Implementing the Metropolis algorithm on created functions, we compare the single temperature to four temperatures running in parallel. Using simulated annealing and parallel tempering on the traveling salesman problem, we examine what each of the methods is capable of exploring. We focus specifically on parallel tempering’s a...

During the summer of 2007, I participated in a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) at Illinois State University. I was one of eight undergraduates, all of whom were mathematics education majors. During my eight week experience, we worked with four in-service teachers from the Normal-Bloomington area, as well as math and math education professors from Illinois State and surrounding univ...

This report presents my work for Double Chooz at MIT during the 2009 Summer REU program, funded by Columbia University. Double Chooz is a reactor neutrino experiment that aims to measure the mixing parameter θ13. The experiment detects electron antineutrinos via inverse beta decay. Neutrons and light nuclei made in muon spallation are a major background to the experiment. The delayed neutron em...

This report presents my work for Double Chooz at Columbia University’s Nevis Labs during the 2008 Summer REU program. Double Chooz is a neutrino experiment that will either measure or constrain the neutrino mass mixing parameter θ13. Columbia University and collaborators are responsible for the Double Chooz Outer Veto, which detects incoming Cosmic Muons to prevent false signal in the main dete...

The final stages of the MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation analysis made an exciting backdrop for my REU working with Columbia Professor Janet Conrad at Fermilab this summer. MiniBooNE is a νμ → νe oscillation search designed to check to controversial LSND [1] result. My work focused on isolating neutral current delta baryons which undergo the rare electromagnetic decay. When deltas decay via the s...
