Working Group leader: Bryn Martin Group members: Gordon Murdoch, Nathan Schiele, Gabriel Potirniche, Bert Tanner, Martin Mortazavi, Sajid Suriya Originated: September 2017 Description: This group is focused on measurement and modeling with respect to TBI. In specific, we are carrying out an INBRE Pilot project research grant project entitled, “Investigating the Impact of Arachnoid Trabeculae…
Project Team: Aleksandar Vakanski, Stephen Lee, David Paul, Russell Baker, Hyung-Pil Jun The long-term goal of this project is to develop a commercial system for evaluation of physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises performed by patients in a home-based setting. The system will employ a machine learning approach for evaluation of patient movements, based on input…
Project Team: Jakob Magolan (PI), Xiong Zhang, Jagdish Patel Depression is a common psychiatric disorder. According to the most prevalent monoamine theory, depression is caused by an imbalance of brain neurotransmitters: serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine. All currently available antidepressant drugs act mainly by increasing the concentration of these in the brain. Primary drawbacks of current…
Project Team: Tao Xing (PI), Gordon Murdoch (co-PI) and Rabijit Dutta (co-PI) With support from Percussionaire Corp based in Sagle, Idaho, the team will test the new Phasitron design. They will compare the pressure and tidal volumes and the net flow entertainment under various lung conditions. They will also explore computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations…
Working Group leader: Helen Brown Group members: Christopher Murphy, Erich Seamon, Chris Williams, Nurbanu Bursa, Jennifer Hinds Originated: November 2016 Description: This working group started out as, “Small Area Estimation of Obesity-related Indicators (Modeling Obesity Indicators – MOI).” MIH has continued to refine and expand work to generate small-area estimates (SAE) of Idaho health indicators…
Working Group leader: Deborah Stenkamp Group members: Jagdish Patel, Marty Ytreberg Originated: Summer 2016 Description: This working group on an as-needed basis, to discuss progress and approaches for modeling a set of tandemly-replicated cone opsins from the zebrafish, medaka, cichlid, and guppy. They selected these RH2-type cone opsins based upon the availability of…
