Acoustic radiation force based ultrasound elasticity imaging for biomedical applications
(2018-07-12) Wang, Lulu; Department of Engineering
Pathological changes in biological tissue are related to the changes in mechanical properties of biological tissue. Conventional medical screening tools such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography have failed to produce the elastic properties of biological tissues directly. Ultrasound elasticity imaging (UEI) has been proposed as a promising imaging tool to map the elastic parameters of soft tissues for the clinical diagnosis of various diseases include prostate, liver, breast, and thyroid gland. Existing UEI-based approaches can be classified into three groups: internal physiologic excitation, external excitation, and acoustic radiation force (ARF) excitation methods. Among these methods, ARF has become one of the most popular techniques for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of disease. This paper provides comprehensive information on the recently developed ARF-based UEI techniques and instruments for biomedical applications. The mechanical properties of soft tissue, ARF and displacement estimation methods, working principle and implementation instruments for each ARF-based UEI method are discussed.

Trawl-door shape optimization by space-mapping-corrected CFD models and kriging surrogates
(2016) Jonsson, Ingi M.; Leifsson, Leifur; Koziel, Slawomir; Tesfahunegn, Yonatan A.; Bekasiewicz, Adrian; Department of Engineering
Trawl-doors are a large part of the fluid flow resistance of trawlers fishing gear and has considerable effect on the fuel consumption. A key factor in reducing that consumption is by implementing computational models in the design process. This study presents a robust two dimensional computational fluid dynamics models that is able to capture the nonlinear flow past multi-element hydrofoils. Efficient optimization algorithms are applied to the design of trawl-doors using problem formulation that captures true characteristics of the design space where lift-to-drag ratio is maximized. Four design variables are used in the optimization process to control the fluid flow angle of attack, as well as position and orientation of a leading-edge slat. The optimization process involves both multi-point space mapping, and mixed modeling techniques that utilize space mapping to create a physics-based surrogate model. The results demonstrate that lift-to-drag maximization is more appropriate than lift-constraint drag minimization in this case and that local search using multi-point space mapping can yield satisfactory design at low computational cost. By using global search with mixed modeling a solution with higher quality is obtained, but at a higher computational cost than local search.

Surrogate-based airfoil design with space mapping and adjoint sensitivity
(2015) Tesfahunegn, Yonatan A.; Koziel, Slawomir; Leifsson, Leifur; Bekasiewicz, Adrian; Department of Engineering
This paper presents a space mapping algorithm for airfoil shape optimization enhanced with adjoint sensitivities. The surrogate-based algorithm utilizes low-cost derivative information obtained through adjoint sensitivities to improve the space mapping matching between a high-fidelity airfoil model, evaluated through expensive CFD simulations, and its fast surrogate. Here, the airfoil surrogate model is constructed though low-fidelity CFD simulations. As a result, the design process can be performed at a low computational cost in terms of the number of high-fidelity CFD simulations. The adjoint sensitivities are also exploited to speed up the surrogate optimization process. Our method is applied to a constrained drag minimization problem in two-dimensional inviscid transonic flow. The problem is solved for several low-fidelity model termination criteria. The results show that when compared with direct gradient-based optimization with adjoint sensitivities, the proposed approach requires 49-78% less computational cost while still obtaining a comparable airfoil design.

Shape optimization of trawl-doors using variable-fidelity models and space mapping
(2015) Jonsson, Ingi M.; Leifsson, Leifur; Koziel, Slawomir; Tesfahunegn, Yonatan A.; Bekasiewicz, Adrian; Department of Engineering
Trawl-doors have a large influence on the fuel consumption of fishing vessels. Design and optimization of trawl-doors using computational models are key factors in minimizing the fuel consumption. This paper presents an efficient optimization algorithm for the design of trawl-door shapes using computational fluid dynamic models. The approach is iterative and uses variable-fidelity models and space mapping. The algorithm is applied to the design of a multi-element trawl-door, involving four design variables controlling the angle of attack and the slat position and orientation. The results demonstrate that a satisfactory design can be obtained at a cost of a few iterations of the algorithm. Compared with direct optimization of the high-fidelity model and local response surface surrogate models, the proposed approach requires 79% less computational time while, at the same time, improving the design significantly (over 12% increase in the lift-to-drag ratio).

When Adversarial Perturbations meet Concept Drift : an Exploratory Analysis on ML-NIDS
(Association for Computing Machinery, Inc, 2024-11-22) Apruzzese, Giovanni; Fass, Aurore; Pierazzi, Fabio; Department of Computer Science
We scrutinize the effects of “blind” adversarial perturbations against machine learning (ML)-based network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) affected by concept drift. There may be cases in which a real attacker – unable to access and hence unaware that the ML-NIDS is weakened by concept drift – attempts to evade the ML-NIDS with data perturbations. It is currently unknown if the cumulative effect of such adversarial perturbations and concept drift leads to a greater or lower impact on ML-NIDS. In this “open problem” paper, we seek to investigate this unusual, but realistic, setting—we are not interested in perfect knowledge attackers. We begin by retrieving a publicly available dataset of documented network traces captured in a real, large (>300 hosts) organization. Overall, these traces include several years of raw traffic packets—both benign and malicious. Then, we adversarially manipulate malicious packets with problem-space perturbations, representing a physically realizable attack. Finally, we carry out the first exploratory analysis focused on comparing the effects of our “adversarial examples” with their respective unperturbed malicious variants in concept-drift scenarios. Through two case studies (a “short-term” one of 8 days; and a “long-term” one of 4 years) encompassing 48 detector variants, we find that, although our perturbations induce a lower detection rate in concept-drift scenarios, some perturbations yield adverse effects for the attacker in intriguing use cases. Overall, our study shows that the topics we covered are still an open problem which require a re-assessment from future research.
