Abstract
Soft biological tissues, such as arterial tissue, have the ability to grow and remodel in response to damage. Computational method plays a critical role in understanding the underlying mechanisms of tissue damage and healing. However, the existing healing model often requires huge computation time and it is inconvenient to implement finite element simulation. In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient gradient-enhanced healing model that combines the advantages of the gradient-enhanced damage model, the homeostatic-driven turnover remodeling model, and the damage-induced growth model. In the proposed model, the evolution of healing-related parameters can be solved explicitly. Additionally, an adaptive time increment method is used to further reduce computation time. The proposed model can be easily implemented in Abaqus, requiring only a user subroutine UMAT. The effectiveness of proposed model is verified through a semi-analytical example, and the influence of the variables in the proposed model is investigated using uniaxial tension and open-hole plate tests. Finally, the long-term development of aneurysms is simulated to demonstrate the potential applications of the proposed model in real biomechanical problems.

Abstract
Deep learning approaches are generally complex, requiring extensive computational resources and having high time complexity. Transfer learning is a state-of-the-art approach to reducing the requirements of high computational resources by using pre-trained models without compromising accuracy and performance. In conventional studies, pre-trained models are trained on datasets from different but similar domains with many domain-specific features. The computational requirements of transfer learning are directly dependent on the number of features that include the domain-specific and the generic features. This article investigates the prospects of reducing the computational requirements of the transfer learning models by discarding domain-specific features from a pre-trained model. The approach is applied to breast cancer detection using the dataset curated breast imaging subset of the digital database for screening mammography and various performance metrics such as precision, accuracy, recall, F1-score, and computational requirements. It is seen that discarding the domain-specific features to a specific limit provides significant performance improvements as well as minimizes the computational requirements in terms of training time (reduced by approx. 12%), processor utilization (reduced approx. 25%), and memory usage (reduced approx. 22%). The proposed transfer learning strategy increases accuracy (approx. 7%) and offloads computational complexity expeditiously.

Abstract
With an increasing number of human-computer interaction application scenarios, researchers are looking for computers to recognize human emotions more accurately and efficiently. Such applications are desperately needed at universities, where people want to understand the students' psychology in real time to avoid catastrophes. This research proposed a self-aware face emotion accelerated recognition algorithm (SFEARA) that improves the efficiency of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in the recognition of facial emotions. SFEARA will recognize that critical and non-critical regions of input data perform high-precision computation and convolutive low-precision computation during the inference process, and finally combine the results, which can help us get the emotional recognition model for international students. Based on a comparison of experimental data, the SFEARA algorithm has 1.3× to 1.6× higher computational efficiency and 30% to 40% lower energy consumption than conventional CNNs in emotion recognition applications, is better suited to the real-time scenario with more background information.

Abstract
Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), as one of the earliest meshfree methods, has broad prospects in modeling a wide range of problems in engineering and science, including extremely large deformation problems such as explosion and high velocity impact. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview on the recent advances of SPH method in the fields of fluid, solid, and biomechanics. First, the theory of SPH is described, and improved algorithms of SPH with high accuracy are summarized, such as the finite particle method (FPM). Techniques used in SPH method for simulating fluid, solid and biomechanics problems are discussed. The δ-SPH method and Godunov SPH (GSPH) based on the Riemann model are described for handling instability issues in fluid dynamics. Next, the interface contact algorithm for fluid-structure interaction is also discussed. The common algorithms for improving the tensile instability and the framework of total Lagrangian SPH are examined for challenging tasks in solid mechanics. In terms of biomechanics, the governing equations and the coupling forces based on SPH method are exemplified. Then, various typical engineering applications and recent advances are elaborated. The application of fluid mainly depicts the interaction between fluid and rigid body as well as elastomer, while some complicated fluid-structure interaction ocean engineering problems are also presented. In the aspect of solid dynamics, galaxy, geotechnical mechanics, explosion and impact, and additive manufacturing are summarized. Furthermore, the recent advancements of SPH method in biomechanics, such as hemodynamically and gut health, are discussed in general. In addition, to overcome the limitations of computational efficiency and computational scale, the multiscale adaptive resolution, the parallel algorithm and the automated mesh generation are addressed. The development of SPH software in China and abroad is also summarized. Finally, the challenging task of SPH method in the future is summarized. In future research work, the establishment of multi-scale coupled SPH model and deep learning technology in solid and biodynamics will be the focus of expanding the engineering applications of SPH methods.

Abstract
This paper addresses the robust fault diagnosis problem for a class of linear discrete time-varying systems with multiplicative noise based on parity space method. A novel fault detection performance index, in terms of stochastic robustness/sensitivity ratio, is proposed to establish the residual generator. A computationally attractive recursive algorithm, is put forward to obtain the complex matrix involved in the aforementioned fault detection performance index. Drawing support of random matrix analysis and calculation, the corresponding solution is derived in an analytical form via solving a multi-objective optimization problem. By means of Randomized Algorithms, two fault detection threshold setting algorithms are provided subsequently to achieve residual performance assessment by taking into account the fault detection rate and false alarm rate in the probabilistic framework. Two illustrative examples are finally provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Abstract
Statistical models are at the core of the genome-wide association study (GWAS). In this chapter, we provide an overview of single- and multilocus statistical models, Bayesian, and machine learning approaches for association studies in plants. These models are discussed based on their basic methodology, cofactors adjustment accounted for, statistical power and computational efficiency. New statistical models and machine learning algorithms are both showing improved performance in detecting missed signals, rare mutations and prioritizing causal genetic variants; nevertheless, further optimization and validation studies are required to maximize the power of GWAS.

Abstract
Sketching is a probabilistic data compression technique that has been largely developed by the computer science community. Numerical operations on big datasets can be intolerably slow; sketching algorithms address this issue by generating a smaller surrogate dataset. Typically, inference proceeds on the compressed dataset. Sketching algorithms generally use random projections to compress the original dataset, and this stochastic generation process makes them amenable to statistical analysis. We argue that the sketched data can be modelled as a random sample, thus placing this family of data compression methods firmly within an inferential framework. In particular, we focus on the Gaussian, Hadamard and Clarkson-Woodruff sketches and their use in single-pass sketching algorithms for linear regression with huge samples. We explore the statistical properties of sketched regression algorithms and derive new distributional results for a large class of sketching estimators. A key result is a conditional central limit theorem for data-oblivious sketches. An important finding is that the best choice of sketching algorithm in terms of mean squared error is related to the signal-to-noise ratio in the source dataset. Finally, we demonstrate the theory and the limits of its applicability on two datasets.

Abstract
The internal architecture of the femur and its fracture behaviour vary greatly between subjects. Femoral architecture and subsequent fracture risk are strongly influenced by load distribution during physical activities of daily living.
The objective of this work is to evaluate the impact of outer cortical surface shape as a key affector of load distribution driving femoral structure and fracture behaviour.
Different femur cortical shapes are generated using a statistical shape model. Their mesoscale internal architecture is predicted for the same activity regime using a structural optimisation approach previously reported by the authors and fracture under longitudinal compression is simulated. The resulting total volume of bone is similar in all geometries although substantial differences are observed in distribution between trabecular and cortical tissue.
Greater neck-shaft and anteversion angles show a protective effect in longitudinal compression while a thinner shaft increases fracture risk.

Abstract
Prediction of bone failure is beneficial in a range of clinical situations from screening of osteoporotic patients with high fracture risk to assessment of protective equipment against trauma. Computational efficiency is an important feature to consider when developing failure models for iterative applications, such as patient-specific diagnosis or design of orthopaedic devices. The authors previously developed a methodology to generate efficient mesoscale structural full bone models. The aim of this study was to implement a damage elasticity formulation representative of an elasto-plastic material model with age and strain rate dependencies compatible with these structural models. This material model was assessed in the prediction of femoral fractures in longitudinal compression and side fall scenarios. The simulations predicted failure loads and fracture patterns in good agreement with reported results from experimental studies. The observed influence of strain rate on failure load was consistent with literature. The superiority of a simplified elasto-plastic formulation over an elasto-brittle bone material model was assessed. This computationally efficient damage elasticity formulation was capable of capturing fracture development after onset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Ki67 Index has been extensively studied as a prognostic biomarker in breast cancer. However, its clinical adoption is largely hampered by the lack of a standardized method to assess Ki67 that limits inter-laboratory reproducibility. It is important to standardize the computation of the Ki67 Index before it can be effectively used in clincial practice. METHOD In this study, we develop a systematic approach towards standardization of the Ki67 Index. We first create the ground truth consisting of tumor positive and tumor negative nuclei by registering adjacent breast tissue sections stained with Ki67 and H&E. The registration is followed by segmentation of positive and negative nuclei within tumor regions from Ki67 images. The true Ki67 Index is then approximated with a linear model of the area of positive to the total area of tumor nuclei. RESULTS When tested on 75 images of Ki67 stained breast cancer biopsies, the proposed method resulted in an average root mean square error of 3.34. In comparison, an expert pathologist resulted in an average root mean square error of 9.98 and an existing automated approach produced an average root mean square error of 5.64. CONCLUSIONS We show that it is possible to approximate the true Ki67 Index accurately without detecting individual nuclei and also statically demonstrate the weaknesses of commonly adopted approaches that use both tumor and non-tumor regions together while compensating for the latter with higher order approximations.

Abstract
Researchers in genetics and other life sciences commonly use permutation tests to evaluate differences between groups. Permutation tests have desirable properties, including exactness if data are exchangeable, and are applicable even when the distribution of the test statistic is analytically intractable. However, permutation tests can be computationally intensive. We propose both an asymptotic approximation and a resampling algorithm for quickly estimating small permutation p-values (e.g., <10-6) for the difference and ratio of means in two-sample tests. Our methods are based on the distribution of test statistics within and across partitions of the permutations, which we define. In this article, we present our methods and demonstrate their use through simulations and an application to cancer genomic data. Through simulations, we find that our resampling algorithm is more computationally efficient than another leading alternative, particularly for extremely small p-values (e.g., <10-30). Through application to cancer genomic data, we find that our methods can successfully identify up- and down-regulated genes. While we focus on the difference and ratio of means, we speculate that our approaches may work in other settings.

Abstract
When the discrete element method (DEM) is used to simulate confined compression of granular materials, the need arises to estimate the void space surrounding each particle with Voronoi polyhedra. This entails recurring Voronoi tessellation with small changes in the geometry, resulting in a considerable computational overhead. To overcome this limitation, we propose a method with the following features:A local determination of the polyhedron volume is used, which considerably simplifies implementation of the method. A linear approximation of the polyhedron volume is utilised, with intermittent exact volume calculations when needed. The method allows highly accurate volume estimates to be obtained at a considerably reduced computational cost.
