We develop a framework to uncover and analyze dynamical anomalies from massive, nonlinear and non-stationary time series data. The framework consists of three steps: preprocessing of massive data sets to eliminate erroneous data segments, application of the empirical mode decomposition and Hilbert transform paradigm to obtain the fundamental components embedded in the time series at distinct time scales, and statistical/scaling analysis of the components. As a case study, we apply our framework to detecting and characterizing high frequency oscillations (HFOs) from a big database of rat EEG recordings. We find a striking phenomenon: HFOs exhibit on-off intermittency that can be quantified by algebraic scaling laws. Our framework can be generalized to big data-related problems in other fields such as large-scale sensor data and seismic data analysis.

Experimental Particle Physics has been at the forefront of analyzing the worlds largest datasets for decades. The HEP community was the first to develop suitable software and computing tools for this task. In recent times, new toolkits and systems co llectively called Big Data technologies have emerged to support the analysis of Petabyte and Exabyte datasets in industry. While the principles of data analysis in HEP have not changed (filtering and transforming experiment-specific data formats), these new technologies use different approaches and promise a fresh look at analysis of very large datasets and could potentially reduce the time-to-physics with increased interactivity. In this talk, we present an active LHC Run 2 analysis, searching for dark matter with the CMS detector, as a testbed for Big Data technologies. We directly compare the traditional NTuple-based analysis with an equivalent analysis using Apache Spark on the Hadoop ecosystem and beyond. In both cases, we start the analysis with the official experiment data formats and produce publication physics plots. We will discuss advantages and disadvantages of each approach and give an outlook on further studies needed.
In this work, we introduce a novel computational framework that we developed to use numerical simulations to investigate the complexity of brain tissue at a microscopic level with a detail never realised before. Directly inspired by the advances in c omputational neuroscience for modelling brain cells, we propose a generative model that enables us to simulate molecular diffusion within realistic digitalised brain cells, such as neurons and glia, in a completely controlled and flexible fashion. We validate our new approach by showing an excellent match between the morphology and simulated DW-MR signal of the generated digital model of brain cells and those of digital reconstruction of real brain cells from available open-access databases. We demonstrate the versatility and potentiality of the framework by showing a select set of examples of relevance for the DW-MR community. Further development is ongoing, which will support even more realistic conditions like dense packing of numerous 3D complex cell structures and varying cell surface permeability.
Big data benchmark suites must include a diversity of data and workloads to be useful in fairly evaluating big data systems and architectures. However, using truly comprehensive benchmarks poses great challenges for the architecture community. First, we need to thoroughly understand the behaviors of a variety of workloads. Second, our usual simulation-based research methods become prohibitively expensive for big data. As big data is an emerging field, more and more software stacks are being proposed to facilitate the development of big data applications, which aggravates hese challenges. In this paper, we first use Principle Component Analysis (PCA) to identify the most important characteristics from 45 metrics to characterize big data workloads from BigDataBench, a comprehensive big data benchmark suite. Second, we apply a clustering technique to the principle components obtained from the PCA to investigate the similarity among big data workloads, and we verify the importance of including different software stacks for big data benchmarking. Third, we select seven representative big data workloads by removing redundant ones and release the BigDataBench simulation version, which is publicly available from http://prof.ict.ac.cn/BigDataBench/simulatorversion/.
Chest physiotherapy is a set of techniques, mostly empirical, used to help the draining of the mucus from the lung in pathological situations. The choice of the techniques, and their adjustment to the patients or to the pathologies, remains as of tod ay largely empirical. High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) is one of these techniques, performed with a device that applies oscillating pressures on the chest. However, there is no clear understanding of how HFCWO devices interact with the lung biomechanics. Hence, we study idealised HFCWO manipulations applied to a mathematical and numerical model of the biomechanics of the lung. The lung is represented by an airway tree connected to an homogeneous elastic medium. We highlight that the biophysics of the idealised HFCWO is driven by two dimensionless numbers. We show that the stress applied to the mucus plays the role of a buffer for the mucus yield stress, hence reducing the amount of stress needed to mobilize the mucus. The stress is the addition of two stresses with different physical origin and of the same order of magnitude: a stress due to the airway wall deformation and a stress due to the air-mucus interactions. Our model predicts the existence of an optimal range of HFCWO working frequencies that is in agreement with the frequencies actually used during HFCWO oscillations. Moreover, our model suggests that analyzing the mouth airflow during HFCWO could allow to estimate the compliance and the hydrodynamic resistance of the lung of a patient.
We show how frequency fluctuations of a vibrational mode can be separated from other sources of phase noise. The method is based on the analysis of the time dependence of the complex amplitude of forced vibrations. The moments of the complex amplitud e sensitively depend on the frequency noise statistics and its power spectrum. The analysis applies to classical and to quantum vibrations.
