  • Modelling of the Effects of Entrainment Defects on Mechanical Properties in Al-Si-Mg Alloy Castings
    MODELLING OF THE EFFECTS OF ENTRAINMENT DEFECTS ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES IN AL-SI-MG ALLOY CASTINGS By YANG YUE A dissertation submitted to University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Metallurgy and Materials University of Birmingham June 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Abstract Liquid aluminium alloy is highly reactive with the surrounding atmosphere and therefore, surface films, predominantly surface oxide films, easily form on the free surface of the melt. Previous researches have highlighted that surface turbulence in liquid aluminium during the mould-filling process could result in the fold-in of the surface oxide films into the bulk liquid, and this would consequently generate entrainment defects, such as double oxide films and entrapped bubbles in the solidified casting. The formation mechanisms of these defects and their detrimental e↵ects on both mechani- cal properties and reproducibility of properties of casting have been studied over the past two decades. However, the behaviour of entrainment defects in the liquid metal and their evolution during the casting process are still unclear, and the distribution of these defects in casting remains difficult to predict.

Typically, designing data analysis procedures utilizing GPUs involves coding skills and knowledge of GPU-specific programming languages such as the Open Computing Language (OpenCL) [1]. For facilitating end-user access to modern computing hardware such as GPUs, the CLIJ platform [2] was developed and documented in detail [3, 4]. It targets programming beginners through an abstraction layer that allows to call GPU- accelerated image processing operations without the need for learning a new programming language such as OpenCL. To further lower the entrance bounden, a recently introduced a graphical user interface for the Fiji platform [5] utilizes an image data flow graph for designing image processing workflows interactively on screen [6].

  • A System Architecture in Multiple Views for an Image Processing Graphical User Interface
    A System Architecture in Multiple Views for an Image Processing Graphical User Interface Roberto Wagner Santos Maciel, Michel S. Soares a and Daniel Oliveira Dantas b Departamento de Computac¸ao,˜ Universidade Federal de Sergipe, Sao˜ Cristov´ ao,˜ SE, Brazil Keywords: Software Architecture, Unified Modeling Language, 4+1 View Model, UML. Abstract: Medical images are important components in modern health institutions, used mainly as a diagnostic support tool to improve the quality of patient care. Researchers and software developers have difficulty when building solutions for segmenting, filtering and visualizing medical images due to the learning curve, complexity of in- stallation and use of image processing tools. VisionGL is an open source library that facilitates programming through the automatic generation of C++ wrapper code. The wrapper code is responsible for calling paral- lel image processing functions or shaders on CPUs using OpenCL, and on GPUs using OpenCL, GLSL and CUDA. An extension to support distributed processing, named VGLGUI, involves the creation of a client with a workflow editor and a server, capable of executing that workflow. This article presents a description of archi- tecture in multiple views, using the architectural standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011, the 4+1 View Model of Software Architecture and the Unified Modeling Language (UML), for a visual programming language with parallel and distributed processing capabilities. 1 INTRODUCTION lutions in the clinical and hospital environment (Ukis et al., 2013; Franc¸a et al., 2017).

  • Quantification of Foci Using Fiji Or Imagej Protocol by Lee Pribyl, Phd, Cambridge, MA Updated 3/6/21
    Quantification of foci using Fiji or ImageJ Protocol by Lee Pribyl, PhD, Cambridge, MA Updated 3/6/21 Purpose: This protocol describes how to quantify any type of cellular foci, such as phosphorylated Ser139 on histone variant H2A.X (γH2AX) stained images of tissue or cells, using the free NIH Image Processing and Analysis in Java software called Fiji or ImageJ. γH2AX antibody is used to identify DNA damage in the form of double strand breaks by fluorescent imaging. Similarly, EGFP foci expression via the RaDR mouse model can also be quantified using this method. This protocol was written for use on quantifying γH2AX or RaDR foci; however other foci or positive cell staining could be used for this type of quantification. Materials • Fiji ImageJ software • Images to analyze (JPEG, TIFF or PNG) • Excel spreadsheet or GraphPad Prism file to save and process data Note: It’s best to organiZe all images for quantifying into one folder so that when moving to the next image you can simply go to File: Open Next. Procedure 1. Download Fiji or ImageJ software from https://imagej.net/Fiji or https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/ 2. Open ImageJ 3. File: Open 4. Select file and image to open a. Note: it is best to only have one color channel to count foci (ex. Red on black background). It is possible to count with an additional channel (ex. Blue – DAPI and Red - γH2AX and black background), however because the software isn’t perfect you may pick up non-true foci in counts. Color channels can be subtracted using photoshop.

Open-source software projects offer a solution, with 26 freely available code which users can utilise and modify, under an open source licence. In 27 addition to software accessibility and methodological repeatability, this also enables and 28 encourages the development of new tools. All software requires some element of maintenance, 29 and with open-source software this often requires voluntary time investment from the users 30 and/or original developers. However, such work encourages collaboration and learning across 31 disciplines, and enables fields to move beyond their original borders to become more 32 interdisciplinary.
