A new type of deformable model is presented that merges meshes and level sets into one representation to provide interoperability between methods designed for either. This includes the ability to circumvent the CFL time step restriction for methods that require large step sizes. The key idea is to couple a constellation of disconnected triangular surface elements (springls) with a level set that tracks the moving constellation. The target application for Spring Level Sets (SpringLS) is to implement comprehensive imaging pipelines that require a mixture of deformable model representations to achieve the best performance. We demonstrate how to implement key components of a comprehensive imaging pipeline with SpringLS, including image segmentation, registration, tracking, and atlasing.

Assessing the influence of the modifiable areal unit problem on Bayesian disease mapping in Queensland, Australia.
PLoS One
January 2025
QUT Centre for Data Science, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Background: Spatial data are often aggregated by area to protect the confidentiality of individuals and aid the calculation of pertinent risks and rates. However, the analysis of spatially aggregated data is susceptible to the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP), which arises when inference varies with boundary or aggregation changes. While the impact of the MAUP has been examined previously, typically these studies have focused on well-populated areas.

Background: Multifrequency MR elastography (mMRE) enables noninvasive quantification of renal stiffness in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Manual segmentation of the kidneys on mMRE is time-consuming and prone to increased interobserver variability.
Purpose: To evaluate the performance of mMRE combined with automatic segmentation in assessing CKD severity.
A predictive model based on the gut microbiota improves the diagnostic effect in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatology (Oxford)
January 2025
School of Management, Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, China.
Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, destructive autoimmune disorder predominantly targeting the joints, with gut microbiota dysbiosis being intricately associated with its progression. The aim of the present study was to develop of effective early diagnostic methods for early RA based on gut microbiota.
Methods: A cohort comprising 262 RA patients and 475 healthy controls (HCs) was recruited.
Modality-, feature-, and strategy-dependent organization of low-level working memory.
J Vis
January 2025
Department of Psychology, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany.
Previous research has shown that, when multiple similar items are maintained in working memory, recall precision declines. Less is known about how heterogeneous sets of items across different features within and between modalities impact recall precision. In two experiments, we investigated modality (Experiment 1, n = 79) and feature-specific (Experiment 2, n = 154) load effects on working memory performance.
