- Other.
Immediate Action Items:
- Ahmet
- Provide administrator privileges to all team members in data organization staging server (Midas).
Ahmet & Tara
- Review tissue testing specifications page.
- Snehal
- Incorporate notes on tissue testing directly in the wiki page.
- In tissue testing specifications, provide file type and the resolution of video data collection.
- Get off-the-shelf registration marker spheres tapped for experiments.
- Talk to Morgan Jones about scheduling of tissue dissection.
- Update oks005 page to provide information on recently delivered specimen.
- Craig
- Follow up with CASE Imaging facility about MRI issues (noisy general purpose imaging, missing coronal image set for connective tissue imaging).
Ahmet & Craig
- Follow up with Carl Winalski about the potential bone problems notice in MR images of oks004.
Snehal & Robb
- Provide dimensions for registration marker screws to Ahmet (to eventually design new registration markers).
Notes:
- Discuss immediate action items from the last meeting.
- Martin Garon from Biomomentum Inc. has been visiting to resolve data acquisition issues during tissue testing. Snehal, Robb, and Ahmet already had discussions with him. Martin was able to reproduce the issues in our machine. Martin has a few ideas on why the use of the camera may cause system crash and potential solutions: RAID configuration of hard-drives, collection of images in low resolution with RAW format, avoiding writing files to the desktop, turning of indexing for file search, avoiding writing too many files in the same folder, etc. Ahmet was previously collecting data at high resolution (1280x960, BMP or RAW). The spikes in displacement data is probably due to video capture.
- Craig converted Open Knee(s) - Generation 1 model to make it compatible with FEBio version 2. Ahmet ran some simulations using multiple cores in the in-house high performance computing architecture resulting in significant reduction in computational cost, e.g., 1 hour when using 16 cores. Craig and Ahmet have been discussing scripting for this model as well as upcoming Generation 2 models. Two sets of scripts may need to be developed; one for cloud computing to modify the models, another for assembly of models.
