Unlabelled: We compared a physiological model of 82Rb kinetics in the myocardium with two reduced-order models to determine their usefulness in assessing physiological parameters from dynamic PET data.

Methods: A three-compartment model of 82Rb in the myocardium was used to simulate kinetic PET ROI data. Simulations were generated for eight different blood-flow rates reflecting the physiological range of interest. Two reduced-order models commonly used with myocardial PET studies were fit to the simulated data, and parameters of the reduced-order models were compared with the physiological parameters. Then all three models were fit to the simulated data with noise added. Monte Carlo simulations were used to evaluate and compare the diagnostic utility of the reduced-order models. A description length criterion was used to assess goodness of fit for each model. Finally, fits to simulated data were compared with fits to actual dynamic PET data.

Results: Fits of the reduced-order models to the three-compartment model noise-free simulated data produced model misspecification artifacts, such as flow parameter bias and systematic variation with flow in estimates of nonflow parameters. Monte Carlo simulations showed some of the parameter estimates for the two-compartment model to be highly variable at PET noise levels. Fits to actual PET data showed similar variability. One-compartment model estimates of the flow parameter at high and low flow were separated by several s.d.s for both the simulated and the real data. With the two-compartment model, the separation was about one s.d., making it difficult to differentiate a high and a low flow in a single experiment. Fixing nonflow parameters reduced flow parameter variability in the two-compartment model and did not significantly affect variability in the one-compartment model. Goodness of fit indicated that, at realistic noise levels, both reduced-order models fit the simulated data at least as well as the three-compartment model that generated the data.

Conclusion: The one-compartment reduced-order model of 82Rb dynamic PET data can be used effectively to compare myocardial blood-flow rates at rest and stress levels. The two-compartment model can differentiate flow only if a priori values are used for nonflow parameters.

In this work, we present the novel mathematical framework of latent dynamics models (LDMs) for reduced order modeling of parameterized nonlinear time-dependent PDEs. Our framework casts this latter task as a nonlinear dimensionality reduction problem, while constraining the latent state to evolve accordingly to an unknown dynamical system. A time-continuous setting is employed to derive error and stability estimates for the LDM approximation of the full order model (FOM) solution.

Nonlinear dynamic simulations of mechanical resonators have been facilitated by the advent of computational techniques that generate nonlinear reduced order models (ROMs) using the finite element (FE) method. However, designing devices with specific nonlinear characteristics remains inefficient since it requires manual adjustment of the design parameters and can result in suboptimal designs. Here, we integrate an FE-based nonlinear ROM technique with a derivative-free optimization algorithm to enable the design of nonlinear mechanical resonators.

Electrical impedance tomography meets reduced order modelling: a framework for faster and more reliable electrical conductivity estimations.

Inclusion of individualised electrical conductivities of head tissues is crucial for the accuracy of electrical source imaging techniques based on electro/magnetoencephalography and the efficacy of transcranial electrical stimulation. Parametric electrical impedance tomography (pEIT) is a method to cheaply and non-invasively estimate them using electrode arrays on the scalp to apply currents and measure the resulting potential distribution. Conductivities are then estimated by iteratively fitting a forward model to the measurements, incurring a prohibitive computational cost that is generally lowered at the expense of accuracy.

This paper addresses a non-interacting torque control strategy to decouple the d- and q-axis dynamics of a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). The maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) method is used to determine the reference currents for the desired torque. To realize the noninteracting control, knowledge concerning the inductances L and L of the electrical machine is necessary.

This work introduces a novel methodology for identifying critical sensor locations and detecting defects in structural components. Initially, a hybrid method is proposed to determine optimal sensor placements by integrating results from both the discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) and the random permutation features importance technique (PI). Subsequently, the identified sensors are utilized in a novel defect detection approach, leveraging a semi-intrusive reduced order modeling and genetic search algorithm for fast and reliable defect detection.
