Abstract:
Abstract BACKGROUND Spine surgery has seen tremendous growth in the past 2 decades. A variety of safety, practical, and market-driven needs have spurred the development of new imaging technologies as necessary tools for modern-day spine surgery. Although current imaging techniques have proven satisfactory for operative needs, it is well-known that these techniques have negative consequences for operators and patients in terms of radiation risk. Several mitigating techniques have arisen in recent years, ranging from lead protection to radiation-reducing protocols, although each technique has limits. A hitherto-problematic barrier has been the fact that efforts to diminish radiation emission come at the cost of reduced image quality. OBJECTIVE To describe new ultra-low radiation imaging modalities that have the potential to drastically reduce radiation risk and minimize unacceptable adverse effects. METHODS A literature review was performed of articles and studies that used either of 2 ultra-low radiation imaging modalities, the EOS system (EOS-Imaging S.A., Paris, France) and LessRay (NuVasive, San Diego, CA). RESULTS Both ultra-low radiation imaging modalities reduce radiation exposure in the preoperative and perioperative settings. EOS provides 3-dimensional reconstructive capability, and LessRay offers intraoperative tools that facilitate spinal localization and proper visual alignment of the spine. CONCLUSION These novel radiation-reducing technologies diminish patient and surgeon exposure, aid the surgeon in preoperative planning, and streamline intraoperative workflow.

The Gran Sasso National Laboratories (LNGS) of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) are equipped with an underground ultra-low background facility namely the SubTErranean Low Level Assay (STELLA), which is in first line dedicated to material screening for the fundamental physics experiments installed in the underground laboratories. The high level of performance of the ultra-low-level detector systems allows for detecting extremely low radioactivity levels in materials down to the [Formula: see text] level.

Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a method to realize a virtual reality MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Video Game) with ultra-low latency. The basic idea of the proposed method is to introduce a layer consisting of several fog nodes between clients and cloud server to offload a part of the rendering task which is conducted by the cloud server in conventional cloud games. We examine three techniques to reduce the latency in such a fog-assisted cloud game: 1) To maintain the consistency of the virtual game space, collision detection of virtual objects is conducted by the cloud server in a centralized manner; 2) To reflect subtle changes of the line of sight to the 3D game view, each client is assigned to a fog node and the head motion of the player acquired through HMD (Head-Mounted Display) is directly sent to the corresponding fog node; and 3) To offload a part of the rendering task, we separate the rendering of the background view from that of the foreground view, and migrate the former to other nodes including the cloud server. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by experiments with an AWS-based prototype system. It is confirmed that the proposed techniques achieve the latency of 32.3 ms, which is 66 % faster than the conventional systems.

Abstract:
Good examples of the key tasks of modern non-accelerator physics are the searches for dark matter and neutrinoless double beta decay. The essential requirement for such an experiment is the requirement of a minimal background level. The ways to reduce it are quite obvious and widely used in the ongoing experiments. So, the experiments are located in the underground laboratories, a careful selection of structural materials is carried out, and various techniques for active background suppression are used. However, in order to advance in new generation projects in addition to a serious increase in the detector mass, the significant reduction of the background level (which is already pretty low) is required. Very important irremovable background sources are the structural materials close to the detector(s). In this regard, it is extremely important not only to constantly search for new low-background materials, but also to ensure that radioactive contaminants cannot be introduced at the stage of the required parts production. In this article the results of the successful using of structural parts produced by modern methods from novel low-background materials during the preparation of the new generation ultra-low-background experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta decay are presented.

Abstract:
Context. The Hubble Ultra Deep field (HUDF) is the deepest region ever observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. With the main objective of unveiling the nature of galaxies up to z ∼ 7 − 8, the observing and reduction strategy have focused on the properties of small and unresolved objects, rather than the outskirts of the largest objects, which are usually over-subtracted. Aims. We aim to create a new set of WFC3 IR mosaics of the HUDF using novel techniques to preserve the properties of the low surface brightness regions. Methods. We created ABYSS: a pipeline that optimises the estimate and modelling of low-level systematic effects to obtain a robust background subtraction. We have improved four key points in the reduction: 1) creation of new absolute sky flat fields, 2) extended persistence models, 3) dedicated sky background subtraction and 4) robust co-adding. Results. The new mosaics successfully recover the low surface brightness structure removed on the previous HUDF published reductions. The amount of light recovered with a mean surface brightness dimmer than μ¯ = 26 mag arcsec−2 is equivalent to a m = 19 mag source when compared to the XDF and a m = 20 mag compared to the HUDF12. Conclusions. We present a set of techniques to reduce ultra-deep images (μ > 32.5 mag arcsec−2, 3σ in 10 × 10 arcsec boxes), that successfully allow us to detect the low surface brightness structure of extended sources on ultra deep surveys. The developed procedures are applicable to HST, JWST, EUCLID and many other space and ground-based observatories.

Abstract:
A laboratory technology for a new ultra-low background hybrid material (HM) which meets the requirements for neutron absorption with simultaneous neutron detection has been developed. The technology and hybrid material can be useful for future low background underground detectors designed to directly search for dark matter with liquid noble gases. The HM is based on a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) polymer matrix in which gadolinium nuclei are homogeneously distributed up to 1.5 wt% concentration in polymer slabs of 5 cm thickness. To determine the 65 impurity elements by the inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique in the Gd-based preparations in 100–0.01 ppb range, the corresponding method has been developed. Limits of determination (LD) of 0.011 ppb for uranium, and 0.016 ppb for thorium were achieved. An analysis of Gd raw materials showed that the lowest contents of U and Th (1.2–0.2 ppb) were detected in commercial Gd-based preparations. They were manufactured either from secondary raw materials (extraction phosphoric acid) or from mineral raw materials formed in sedimentary rocks (phosphogypsum). To produce the Gd-doped HM the commercial GdCl3 was purified and used for synthesis of low-background coordination compound, namely, acetylacetonate gadolinium (Gd(acac)3) with U/Th contents less than LD. When dissolving Gd(acac)3 in methylmethacrylate, the true solution was obtained and its further thermal polymerization allowed fabrication of the Gd-doped PMMA with ultra-low background.

BOREXINO has set new standards in the field of ultra-low background experiments. Such a success was only possible by a strict quality control program during the construction phase of the experiment. In this paper, we describe how construction materials and auxiliary systems of the BOREXINO detector were screened for their residual radioactivity with unprecedented high sensitivity. The highly sensitive assay techniques developed for this purpose were also used to validate the purity of water and nitrogen used in the experiment. Moreover, we report on the production of 222 Rn -free nitrogen and synthetic air with very low 222 Rn concentration as well as on the successful search for commercial nitrogen with a particularly low concentration of argon and krypton.

Abstract:
Background: Contrary to the most credited theories on laser therapy that see power/energy as the major factors to its effectiveness, a technique using an extremely low power/energy laser stimulation to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is proposed. The stimulus consists of a 20 s train of modulated pulses with an average power below 0.02 mW and is applied on sequences of acupuncture points selected according to the impaired segment of the patient’s body. Methods: Modifications on the extracellular soft tissue matrix and on the “fascia” were sonographically demonstrated. Laboratory and clinical tests confirmed the effectiveness. Results: Responses similar to those experienced in acupuncture were observed. The device—a CE Class IIa certified medical device named Libralux—affords a clinically proven effectiveness exceeding 80% in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and associated motor dysfunctions. An average of just three application sessions was generally sufficient to overcome the dysfunction. Conclusions: The development of the method is supported by over 20 years of R&D activities, with a range of experiments discussed in several papers published in indexed peer-reviewed journals. A few considerations regarding the possible physiological action mechanisms involved are proposed in this paper.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The aim of this study was to assess the ultra-dose Na18F dPET protocol feasibility for skeleton imaging in a canine model with reduced radiation dose and preserved quantitative characteristics. We hypothesized that administering an ultra-low Na18F dose would provide suitable image quality while reducing subject’s exposure to radiation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In total, 13 adult male beagles [weight (kg) mean±SD; 14.3±2.2] were scanned. The dogs were administered 3 different Na18F doses: 3 (standard dose/SD), 1 (low dose/LD), and 0.05 (ultra-low dose/ULD) mCi. Imaging started ≃45 minutes post injection for ≃ 33 minute total acquisition time. Covering the whole body, 11 bed positions, acquiring 120 (3 mCi) and 180 (1, 0.05 mCi) seconds per bed position. All imaging was performed on a digital photon counting system (Philips Vereos, pre-commercial release). PET list mode data were reconstructed using Time-of-flight with 4, 2, and 1 mm3 voxel volumes. Point spread function, and Gaussian filtering were applied. Two experienced blinded readers evaluated image sets overall quality, tissue characterization, and quality of background in the whole body skeleton. Three-dimensional (3D) regions of interest (ROI) were traced over the distal femur, first lumbar vertebra, and a portion of the liver, recording standard uptake values (SUVmax and SUVmean). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: All the scans and reconstructions were successfully completed in all subjects. Decreasing Na18F dose from the standard dose (3 mCi) to the ultra-low dose/ULDO (0.05 mCi), demonstrated acceptable image quality and quantification. Ultra-low dose Na18F SUVmean values for the 3D ROIs reported (mean±SD) 2.6±0.7, 2.5±1.1, 9±1.6, and 0.6±0.3 from the right and left distal femur, first lumbar vertebra, and a portion of the liver, respectively. When compared the SD with the LD and ULD, dPET demonstrated acceptable image quality and definition for qualitative overall assessment. This was also found for the overall quantitative ROI assessment of the healthy canine skeletons. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Ultra-low dose Na18F at a level of 50 μCi for a 14 kg canine appears to be diagnostically feasible and a robust option to reduce (60-fold) radiotracer doses in a translational animal model using a dPET system. Furthermore, it allows us to move preclinical nuclear medicine imaging forward with substantial reduced exposure levels while preserving image quality. Both visual and quantitative results indicate that the standard-dose bone Na18F dPET can be decreased with a satisfactory diagnostic image quality. Ultra-low Na18F dose is indeed important for younger populations, control patients, and nononcological diseases/conditions. Favorable pharmacokinetics of Na18F (such as high bone uptake, minimal binding to serum proteins, rapid single-pass extraction, and fast clearance from the soft tissues) in addition to the technological capabilities of dPET/CT demonstrated feasibility enabling dose reduction strategies. Ultra-low dose has diagnostic reproducibility and lower radiation burden compared with higher fixed dose techniques in current available guidelines [Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging; SNMMI (5–10 mCi)]. Na18F dPET/CT provides higher sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy, which enables high-quality images with lower tracer activity in this translational animal model. Future research will apply the same methodology to other anatomical targets as well as to the use of different tracers. Preclinical nuclear medicine imaging using ultra-low tracer doses, demonstrated the potential to obtain reasonable quality images and diminishing radiation surveillance in accordance with as low as reasonably achievable tracer levels.

Abstract:
As the gap between processor and memory speeds increases, memory latencies have become a critical bottleneck for computing performance. To reduce this bottleneck, designers have been working on techniques to hide these latencies. On the other hand, design of embedded processors typically targets low cost and low power consumption. Therefore, techniques which can satisfy these constraints are more desirable for embedded domains. While out-of-order execution, aggressive speculation, and complex branch prediction algorithms can help hide the memory access latency in high-performance systems, yet they can cost a heavy power budget and are not suitable for embedded systems. Prefetching is another popular method for hiding the memory access latency, and has been studied very well for high-performance processors. Similarly, for embedded processors with strict power requirements, the application of complex prefetching techniques is greatly limited, and therefore, a low power/energy solution is mostly desired in this context. In this work, we focus on instruction prefetching for ultra-low power processing architectures and aim to reduce energy overhead of this operation by proposing a combination of simple, low-cost, and energy efficient prefetching techniques. We study a wide range of applications from cryptography to computer vision and show that our proposed mechanisms can effectively improve the hit-rate of almost all of them to above 95%, achieving an average performance improvement of more than 2X. Plus, by synthesizing our designs using the state-of-the-art technologies we show that the prefetchers increase system’s power consumption less than 15% and total silicon area by less than 1%. Altogether, a total energy reduction of 1.9X is achieved, thanks to the proposed schemes, enabling a significantly higher battery life.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 165-169).
In a number of emerging applications such as wireless sensor networks, system lifetime depends on the energy efficiency of computation and communication. The key metric in such applications is the energy dissipated per function rather than traditional ones such as clock speed or silicon area. Hardware designs are shifting focus toward enabling energy-awareness, allowing the processor to be energy-efficient for a variety of operating scenarios. This is in contrast to conventional low-power design, which optimizes for the worst-case scenario. Here, three energy-quality scalable hooks are designed into a real-valued FFT processor: variable FFT length (N=128 to 1024 points), variable bit precision (8,16 bit), and variable voltage supply with variable clock frequency (VDD=1 80mV to 0.9V, and f=164Hz to 6MHz). A variable-bit-precision and variable-FFT-length scalable FFT ASIC using an off-the-shelf standard-cell logic library and memory only scales down to 1V operation. Further energy savings is achieved through ultra-low voltage-supply operation. As performance requirements are relaxed, the operating voltage supply is scaled down, possibly even below the threshold voltage into the subthreshold region. When lower frequencies cause leakage energy dissipation to exceed the active energy dissipation, there is an optimal operating point for minimizing energy consumption.
(cont.) Logic and memory design techniques allowing ultra-low voltage operation are employed to study the optimal frequency/voltage operating point for the FFT. A full-custom implementation with circuit techniques optimized for deep voltage scaling into the subthreshold regime, is fabricated using a standard CMOS 0.18[mu]m logic process and functions down to 180mV. At the optimal operating point where the voltage supply is 350mV, the FFT processor dissipates 155nJ/FFT. The custom FFT is 8x more energy-efficient than the ASIC implementation and 350x more energy-efficient than a low-power microprocessor implementation.

Abstract:
Photomultiplier (PMT) background derives from sources of photons, and from photoelectrons generation within a PMT. These may also act as a source of optical and radioactive background for neighbouring detectors. Dark count and dark current are reconciled by allowing for leakage currents flowing into the anode. The optimal gain setting follows from these considerations. Sources of background generated by the photocathode include thermionic emission; light generated within the PMT; gamma rays; muons and minimum ionizing particles (MIPs); insulator glow in the region of the anode; and residual gas. Pulse height distributions for dark counts, in terms of photoelectrons equivalent, reveal the size and magnitude distributions of the various contributions. Temperature and gain dependence are also covered. PMTs constructed from low radioactive glass provide ultra-low background.
