'''Biweekly Meeting of Cleveland Clinic Core Team'''

'''Date:'''  Feb 27, 2018 

'''Time:''' 10:30 AM EST

'''Means:''' In person meeting

'''Attendees:'''

 * Ahmet Erdemir
 * Snehal Chokhandre
 * Erica Neumann 
 * Ariel Schwartz 


'''Agenda:'''

 * Discuss Open Knee(s) progress. 
 * Discuss joint data extraction to run Open Knee models. 
 * Discuss Knee Hub progress. 
 * Other. 

'''Notes:''' 
 * Open Knee(s)
  * Snehal completed the cartilage repeatability tests and preliminary analyses for oks003. The results were discussed. 
   * For initial assessment Snehal plotted all repeatability data for stress-strain, load-unload  before and after preconditioning and preconditioning. 
   * All high strain moduli were calculated (both instantaneous and equlibrium). She also reported the percentage differences for all moduli and peak loads.
   * These analyses were done for all test sets (confined compression, unconfined compression and tension). 
   * Unconfined compression and tensile tests have better repeatability than confined compression test sets.
   * Ahmet suggested reporting average moduli and coefficient of variation. 
   * Snehal will conduct a thorough analysis in the upcoming weeks and start working on the manuscript for submission. 
   * In the meantime, she will be submitting an abstract describing this study to the upcoming American Society of Biomechanics conference. 
  * Snehal is also working on creating geometries from oks segmentations and will be updating all in the upcoming weeks. 
  * Rici will be working on updating the python scripts to extract joint testing data from TDMS files to accommodate left knees. 

 * Knee Hub
  * Snehal will update the data and tissue quality assessment document and upload it to the repository.
  * Ahmet will meet the collaborators and discuss / decide the specimens that will be used for the study. 

 * Other
  * Ariel is learning the tools for segmentation, geometry generation and modeling. She is also going over the specifications in Open Knee(s) and editing/updating them as needed. As a new user, she is also serving as a test subject for how new users can navigate the detailed specifications.
