[SSRM] A model-based framework to identify optimal administration protocols in prostate cancer treatment | Roberta Coletti (Center for Mathematics and Applications, FCT NOVA)
9 February 2022 - 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
FCT NOVA, https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/88333359956
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most frequent cancer in male population. Androgen deprivation therapy is the first-line strategy for the metastatic stage of the disease. Although this therapy is initially highly effective, PCa is known to develop resistance to castration (CRPC), requiring further treatments. In recent years, several clinical trials are testing the efficacy of immunotherapies on this cancer form. However, CRPC is relatively insensitive to the most popular therapies and, so far, only the immunotherapy with dendritic cell vaccine sipuleucel-T has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
In this talk, an ordinary differential equation model is presented, describing PCa and some key elements of the immune system. This work aims at exploring the effect of ipilimumab, an immunotherapy employed for the treatment of several cancers, through the definition of two optimization problems. The goal is to estimate optimal administration protocols of ipilimumab, as single therapy or in combination with the sipuleucel-T. The developed framework finds the best dose-schedules leading to tumor reduction, minimizing also the drug toxicity, which has been described by a dose-depending function.
[Mini-CourseAn] Gradient Estimate for the Heat Kernel on Some Fractal-Like Cable Systems | Meng Yang, CMA, NOVA-SST, Portugal
10 February 2022 - 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Sala 3.5 VII
In this course, we will give an introduction to some recent results about gradient estimate for the heat kernel, in particular, the sub-Gaussian estimate on some fractal-like cable systems. First, we will introduce some basic theory of Dirichlet forms. In particular, we will give the construction of strongly local regular Dirichlet forms on cable systems. Second, we will introduce some basic theory of analysis on fractals. We mainly consider two simple fractals, that is, the Vicsek set and the Sierpinski gasket (SG). We will give the construction of strongly local regular Dirichlet forms and consider harmonic functions on these two fractals. Third, we will consider Poisson equation on metric measure spaces and cable systems. We will introduce some functional inequalities to give the existence, the uniqueness, the regularity and the gradient estimate of the solutions of Poisson equation. In particular, we will introduce a new inequality, that is, the so-called generalized reverse H ̈older inequality. Fourth, we will verify some functional inequalities, especially the generalized reverse H ̈older inequality on the Vicsek and the SG cable systems to obtain the desired gradient estimate for the heat kernel.
Prerequisites: Basic functional analysis, basic measure theory and basic PDE theory at undergraduate level.

Abstract: This article deals with a stochastic control problem for certain
fluids of non-Newtonian type. More precisely, the state equation is given by the
two-dimensional stochastic second grade fluids perturbed by a multiplicative
white noise [1]. The control acts through an external stochastic force and
we search for a control that minimizes a cost functional. We show that the
Gˆateaux derivative of the control to state map is a stochastic process being the
unique solution of the stochastic linearized state equation. The well-posedness
of the corresponding stochastic backward adjoint equation is also established,
allowing to derive the first order optimality condition [2].
Also we will discuss the uniqueness result [3].

Melanoma is the principal cause of death of all skin diseases, and its incidence is increasing faster than any other type of cancer. A successful treatment depends on early detection, as the metastatic form is resistant to therapies. Gene expression data are increasingly being used to establish a diagnosis and optimize treatment of oncological patients. In this work, we propose the analysis of gene expression data from metastatic melanoma as a tool to obtain potential genes that could be important targets for new therapies and treatment. However, the high-dimensionality nature of the data brings many constraints, for which several approaches have been considered, with regularization techniques in the cutting-edge research front. Additionally, the network structure of gene expression data has fostered the development of network-based regularization techniques to convey data into a low-dimensional and interpretable level.
In this work, classical elastic net and two recently proposed network-based methods, HubCox and OrphanCox, are applied to high-dimensional gene expression data, to model survival data. The melanoma transcriptomic dataset obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is used, considering patients' RNA-seq measurements as covariates. The application of sparsity-inducing techniques to the skcm dataset enabled the selection of relevant genes (CIITA, HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DQA1) over a range of parameters evaluated. Comparable results were obtained for the elastic net and the network-based OrphanCox regarding model performance and genes selected.

O Projecto RELIABLE tem como objectivo o desenvolvimento de um painel geográfico de acesso público com informações em tempo real e de alta resolução espacial sobre os riscos de saúde dos ocupantes dos edifícios durante eventos climáticos extremos, tendo em consideração não só variáveis meteorológicas mas também indicadores sociodemográficos e características do edificado. No âmbito do RELIABLE, este trabalho foca-se na actualização dos sistemas de aviso de risco para a população durante ondas de calor e de frio. Tem sido realizada uma análise estatística à mortalidade por todas as causas e às hospitalizações de forma a modelar o número de mortes e hospitalizações em função de variáveis meteorológicas e determinar as condições em que estas variáveis têm impacto sobre a população. O objectivo é que os modelos desenvolvidos sejam espacialmente específicos da forma mais desagregada possível, de modo a emitir avisos mais precisos e independentes por região. Os DLNM (Distributed Lag Non-Linear Models) estão na vanguarda do estudo das associações mortalidade/morbilidade e temperatura possibilitando a estimação de efeitos não lineares e desfasados da temperatura. Desenvolveram-se também modelos mais simples e de interpretação menos complexa, baseados nos DLM (Distributed Lag Models). Para além disso, pretendem-se utilizar técnicas emergentes de modelação como Neural Networks e Time Series Regression Trees e comparar o seu desempenho com técnicas de modelação já estabelecidas na literatura para este tipo de associações. Por fim, a modelação terá como finalidade o desenvolvimento de um novo indicador de aviso de risco, activo durante todo ano, e facilmente compreendido por toda a população.

Abstract: Asmar, Berkson and Gillespie proved in 1998 that the space of weak-type Fourier multipliers acting from $L^p$ into $L^{p,\infty}$ is continuously embedded into $L^\infty$. We obtain a sharper result in the setting of abstract Lorentz spaces $\Lambda_q(X)$ with $0<q\le\infty$ built upon a Banach function space $X$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We consider a source space $\mathfrak{S}$ and a target space $\mathfrak{T}$ in the class of admissible spaces $\mathcal{A}:=\{X,\Lambda_q(X):0<q\le\infty\}$. Let $\mathcal{M}^0_{\mathfrak{S},\mathfrak{T}}$ denote the space of Fourier multipliers acting from $\mathfrak{S}$ to $\mathfrak{T}$. We show that if the space $X$ satisfies the weak doubling property, then the space $\mathcal{M}^0_{\Lambda_q(X),\Lambda_\infty(X)}$ is continuously embedded into $L^\infty$ for every $0<q\le\infty$. This implies that $\mathcal{M}^0_{\mathfrak{S},\mathfrak{T}}$ is a quasi-Banach space for
all choices of source and target spaces $\mathfrak{S},\mathfrak{T}\in\mathcal{A}$. This is a joint work with Eugene Shargorodsky (King's College London, London, UK).

Title: Delayed weighted gradient method and its extensions

Abstract:
The delayed weighted gradient method (DWGM), recently introduced by H. Oviedo (COAP, 74:729–746, 2019), is a low-cost gradient-type method that exhibits a surprisingly and unexpected fast convergence behavior that competes favorably with the well-known conjugate gradient method for the minimization of convex quadratic functions. In this seminar, I will discuss the orthogonality and conjugacy properties of DWGM that add understanding to the practical behavior of the method, including its finite termination; as well as an optimality condition, concerning the gradient norm. In addition, I will present a new family of weighted conjugate-gradient-type methods that offers a compromise between function-value reduction and stationarity which is convenient for real applications. I will also describe a globalized extension of DWGM for the minimization of convex (non-quadratic) functions, trying to maintain its low computational cost per iteration. Moreover, I will show through numerical experiments on CUTEst problems that the proposed extended DWGM can be very effective in accelerating the convergence of well-established low-cost methods around local minimizers of non-convex functions.

Abstract: Compressed sensing is a new paradigm in signal processing which states that for certain matrices sparse representations can be obtained by a simple $\ell_1$−minimization. In this seminar we explore this paradigm for higher-dimensional signals. In particular three cases are being studied: signals taking values in a bicomplex algebra, quaternionic signals, and complex signals which are representable by a nonlinear Fourier basis, a so-called Takenaka-Malmquist system.

We formulate the optimal balance sheet management problem as a linear program and study it using a duality approach. In addition to helping determine the optimal balance sheet, the dual problem also provides us the interest rate risk and credit risk pricing. We deploy our methodology to determine premia on credit risk and interest rate risk for commercial banks, which allows us to manage the risk allocation for a bank given a risk budget. Moreover, our approach will be of interest to regulators, who can use it to assess the price of credit and interest rate risk at each point in the economic cycle. Finally, we apply this methodology to real data and show how it can be used in a real-world setting, using diversification constraints and a greedy algorithm that results in the optimal asset-liability allocation.
This research is independent from the activity at Montepio Bank and does not reflect the views of this institution.

Abstract: Radiotherapy is one of the possible treatments for cancer, and it is indeed delivered to more than half of all cancer patients. Proton therapy has specific features that make it highly appropriate for the treatment of cancer as compared with photon radiotherapy. Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT), the most advanced form of proton therapy, is delivered using electromagnetically scanned narrow beams (“beamlets”) of protons. The process of treatment planning consists of deciding the number and directions of beams and the optimization of intensities and energies of beamlets comprising each of the beams so that a homogeneous dose distribution is obtained in the target volume and the normal tissues are maximally spared. Proton beams have unique depth-dose characteristics, since protons slow down as they penetrate matter, their rate of energy transfer increases with depth, coming to an abrupt stop just beyond where energy deposition is maximum producing the so-called Bragg peak. By positioning several Bragg peaks inside the target volume, excellent tumor conformity is obtained, and adjacent organs at risk are spared. However, proton therapy is much more vulnerable to uncertainties due to this very steep Bragg peak. These uncertainties should be explicitly taken into account when planning the treatment, otherwise it is not possible to guarantee that the treatment will achieve its objectives, guaranteeing proper tumor coverage and sparing of the organs at risk. And this is where Operational Research can make the difference!
In this presentation the crucial role of Operational Research in radiotherapy treatment planning, contributing to cancer treatment, will be highlighted, and developments considering the application of robust optimization to deal with the underlying uncertainties will be described. Fuzzy inference systems, quadratic programming, pattern search methods and Monte Carlo Simulation all come together, contributing to the calculation of high quality plans in an almost automated way.

Abstract:
Convergence in productivity examines if entities in an industry get closer to the best practices or if the gap between the frontiers of the best and worst performers decreases over time. In a multi-input multi-output setting, the assessment of sigma- and beta-convergence can be measured with the use of non-parametric frontier techniques, such as data envelopment analysis. We propose an innovative approach to estimate convergence in the context of performance assessments resting on composite indicators, accounting for desirable and undesirable indicators. This methodology rests on ‘Benefit-of-the-Doubt’ models, specified with a directional distance function. It is applied to the Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO) in order to study their convergence in terms of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) ‘Good health and well-being’. We collected data for all years since the proposal of the SDGs, covering the period between 2016 and 2020. The results show that all WHO regions are beta-divergent, especially because of the generalised decline of the Worst Practice Frontier (WPF), alongside an improvement at a lower rate of the Best Practice Frontier (BPF). The regional analysis also revealed sigma-convergence in the Region of the Americas and the Eastern Mediterranean Region; the South-East Asia and African Regions exhibited sigma-divergence; the Western Pacific and European Regions remained stable in terms of the performance spread regarding the BPF. At the worldwide level, we also observed an increase of the gap between the BPF and the WPF, although the performance spread around the worldwide BPF remained relatively stable.

Abstract: Surgical activity has a substantial impact in all areas of hospitals. Additionally, social concerns arise related to equity and speed of access. Therefore, operating room management is paramount in modern society. This work studies the master surgery scheduling problem which is the problem of assigning surgical specialties to operating room blocks, which represent a shift of an operating room. For a master surgery schedule to be applicable in practice, multiple considerations must be taken into account. The particular focus of this work is in the integration of downstream units (i.e., wards or the ICU). Although, in a tactical planning scenario, operational bed requirements are unknown, these may be estimated based on historical data. We propose a novel stochastic programming model that captures the uncertainty in the bed requirements, with a recourse function that penalizes the overutilization of beds. A solution approach based on Benders decomposition is developed and results for generated instances mimicking real-life data are presented.

[SSRM] Quantitative assessment of macular neovascularization and choriocapillaris features via image analysis | Ana Carolina M. Fradinho (NOVA Medical School)

Neovascularization is the hallmark of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Type 1 is a neovascular subtype that originates from the ingrowth of vessels from the choriocapillaris (CC) into the sub-RPE (retinal pigment epithelium) space (which is a region above CC). Some evidence suggested that type 1 macular neovascularization (MNV) might be able to provide nutritional support to the RPE and outer retina, by assuming the function of diseased choriocapillaris, which are areas with impaired blood flow (flow voids).
Gray-scale images from CC were obtained through OCTA (Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography) and an image processing algorithm was applied to obtain the segmentation of the CC flow voids. Besides, the neovascularization segmentation outlines at the baseline and at the follow-up scans were also provided.
Our main goal was to evaluate the correlation between CC texture features, flow voids (FV) size and density with MNV radial growth in eyes with AMD over time. Thirty case series were analyzed in our study. Image and statistical analysis were performed with a code designed in MATLAB version R2020a. Our algorithm selected a region extending 0 to 600 μm from the margin of the MNV at the baseline image. Though the division of this ring-shaped region around MNV in radial sectors (10/15/20/30º central angle sectors), we obtained per sector: five Haralick features (contrast, correlation, energy, entropy, and homogeneity), FV average size and FV density and average neovascular growth. The algorithm used conversion to polar coordinates (using as reference point: the centroid of the MNV at baseline scan) to facilitate the analyses of the sectors (ring-shaped to rectangular-shaped) in order to obtain these measurements. Kendall’s rank correlation coefficient (τ) was calculated to correlate each of these metrics with respective neovascular growth for each case series. A final global τ average was also calculated comprising all case series for all CC features studied. In our analysis, we have found weak/moderate positive correlations between some of the CC metrics and the neovascular growth.
Additionally, all values of neovascular growth and the corresponding values of CC features of all case series were compiled together. What is the best way to analyze this global data set is one of our questions. Ultimately, our goal is (if possible) to develop a model to predict the most probable areas of MNV growth considering all (or some) of the variables studied.

Abstract: We present here different situations in which the filtering of high or low modes is used either for stabilizing semi-implicit numerical schemes when solving nonlinear parabolic equations, or for building adapted damping operators in the case of dispersive equation. We consider numerical filtering provided by mutigrid-like techniques as well as the filtering resulting from operator with monotone symbols. Our approach applies to several discretization techniques and we focus on finite elements and finite differences. Numerical illustrations are given on Cahn-Hilliard, Korteweig-de Vries and Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equations.
