This work studied message communications on patient portals and examined both the longitudinal trends and the correlations with characteristics of message senders. We analyzed over 5.6 million secure messages sent on the Mayo Clinic patient portal between February 18, 2010, and December 31, 2017. We studied the longitudinal changes in the number of portal messages, patient senders’ demographics and medical conditions (PheCodes), and provider senders’ care settings (e.g., primary or specialty) and practice roles (e.g., physician, nurse practitioner, and registered nurses). When compared to non-message-senders, patient message senders had a significantly higher proportion of the demographics: age 41-60, female, married, white, and English-speaking. From 2010-2017, an individual patient sent an average of 9.8 messages per person while a provider sent 418.4. The average number of PheCodes for all patients regardless of portal usage increased from 7.5 +/-6.9 in 2010 to 10.7 +/- 10.1 in 2017. The Pearson correlation coefficient between average PheCodes per patient and average messages per patient was 0.273 (p < 0.0001). Physicians were the largest proportion of message composers in both primary and specialty care (36.20% of primary, 37.54% of specialty). Starting 2013 onwards, specialty providers comprised the majority of portal providers while primary care providers remained stable around 20-22%. Our results show that patient portals are playing an increasingly significant role in supporting patient-provider communications. The longitudinal growth also sheds light on the possible challenge of communication overload for providers and the healthcare system.

Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication has an essential role for enhancing safety, effi-ciency, and overall driving experience of autonomous driving. To meet the requirements of autonomous driving, V2X demands high data-rate connectivity, per-ceived zero-latency, and high reliability. These char-acteristics are inherently linked to future-generation mobile communication technologies, such as Beyond 5G (B5G) also known as 6G. However, current so-lutions for simulating 5G communications lack inte-gration between the user and control planes, making the simulation not reliable since the 5G control plane functionalities are not taken into account. In this sense, this paper proposes a first contribution towards to the platform called Beyond 5G Virtual Environment for Cy-bersecurity Testing in V2X Systems (B5GCyberTestV2X) by integrating the 5G control plane from Open5GS and UERANSIM into the Simu5G simulator. The inclusion of the control plane in 5G urban mobility simulations increases the security and reliability of the V2X commu-nication service. Therefore, in order to show the impact of the 5G control plane, we validate a simulation with a scenario in the presence of a spoofer transmitting false warning information. As shown in our simulation, the 5G control plane does not allow the connection of the spoofer into 5G network, making the cybersecurity tests of 5G-based V2X communication more realistic.

Hyperspectral images often have low spatial resolution due to the sensor sizes required to capture the required spectral response. Super-resolution (SR) techniques try to mitigate this by injecting more detail in the upscaled image, either with numerical methods or deep learning and Convolution Neural Networks. In the deep learning methods, the models learn image details by inferring a high-resolution (HR) image from a synthetic low-resolution (LR) image that simulates the natural degradation of sensors by applying resampling (to reduce the image detail) and noising (to add small errors and interference). Often disregarded in the literature, the resampling method applied to generate the synthetic image can impact greatly the deep learning model training. This work, evaluate several resampling techniques to measure this impact using the Harvard hyperspectral dataset. Results showed that the Lanczos filter was the best among eight other resampling methods. The Nemenyi and Friedman ranking statistical tests also indicated that the Cubic-Spline, Bicubic, and RMS achieved good results.

Computer games continue to present challenging experimental fields for developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. With Case-Based Reasoning and Clustering, this work proposes novel cases and clusters-based reuse criteria for implementing card-playing agents with diversified playing skills. Using the game of Truco, a common game in South America, we detail how game actions are reused from past cases selected as query answers for given game problems. In doing so, the majority rule, the probability-based lottery, the probability of victory, and the number of points won reuse policies are used to select a cluster of cases. Then these policies are also used to select game actions from the cases within the selected cluster. Investigating the combined exploration of reuse policies, experiments of different natures evaluate the performance of implemented Truco bots disputing matches against each other. Players in these tournaments are equipped with varied policies and use case bases constructed differently.

Despite using a novel model of computation, quantum computers break down programs into elementary gates. Among such gates, entangling gates are the most expensive. In the context of fermionic simulations, we develop a suite of compilation and optimization techniques that massively reduce the entangling-gate counts. We exploit the well-studied non-quantum optimization algorithms to achieve up to 24% savings over the state of the art for several small-molecule simulations, with no loss of accuracy or hidden costs. Our methodologies straightforwardly generalize to wider classes of near-term simulations of the ground state of a fermionic system or real-time simulations probing dynamical properties of a fermionic system.

Equipment monitoring for failure prediction is receiving attention from different sectors of society, such as industry, healthcare, and defense. In the defense domain, assets like military vehicles generate data that one can use to identify behavior changes and anticipate possible real-time failures, avoiding unnecessary maintenance interventions. Failure anticipation is crucial, as assets operated in the military domain perform critical tasks in which unexpected equipment failures result in high material and human costs. Approaches found in the literature typically deal with failure generation, aiming at analyzing the equipment's behavior. This paper proposes a broader approach called MILPdM. This proposal is a failure prediction architecture covering the whole failure prediction and predictive maintenance procedures. We evaluate MILPdM architecture by analyzing an engine-failure scenario where we train models to predict time series by collecting vibration data that describes the degradation of the vehicle's health. Considering the implementation of an LSTM-based neural network and Random Forest, the acquired results lead to a root mean square error of 0.15015 in the best case, which allows to predict the failure status two minutes in advance with only 3 hours of data history. This result shows that MILPdM is capable of anticipating failures with high assertiveness.

Most fracture properties, such as orientation and density, are acquired by interpreting data obtained at the wellbores, while fracture properties between wells are typically derived from seismic data. However, this information is sparse or has low resolution leading to the study and analysis of outcrops. The data acquisition in outcrops is facilitated by its 3D representation in Digital Outcrop Models (DOM) obtained from LiDAR and Photogrammetry. It also allows virtual interpretation and fracture detection. In either case, the 3D fracture data need to be clustered in fracture sets to allow the statistical analysis necessary to upscale and resample the DFN. This clusterization is carried out by methods like k-means and fuzzy, however with caveats, like the prior definition of the number of clusters. In this work, we propose the use of agglomerative hierarchical clustering to cluster 3D fracture data obtained by a KD-Tree segmentation algorithm. Results showed that when compared to k-means, the proposed method presented more compact clusters and balance when considering Fisher’s statistics of dispersion.
