Abstract

Glucose meal response information collected via Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is relevant to the assessment of individual metabolic status and the support of personalized diet prescriptions. However, the complexity of the data produced by CGM monitors pushes the limits of existing analytic methods. CGM data often exhibits substantial within-person variability and has a natural multilevel structure. This research is motivated by the analysis of CGM data from individuals without diabetes in the AEGIS study. The dataset includes detailed information on meal timing and nutrition for each individual over different days. The primary focus of this study is to examine CGM glucose responses following patients' meals and explore the time-dependent associations with dietary and patient characteristics. Motivated by this problem, we propose a new analytical framework based on multilevel functional models, including a new functional mixed R-square coefficient. The use of these models illustrates 3 key points: (i) The importance of analyzing glucose responses across the entire functional domain when making diet recommendations; (ii) The differential metabolic responses between normoglycemic and prediabetic patients, particularly with regards to lipid intake; (iii) The importance of including random, person-level effects when modelling this scientific problem.

Abstract

Statistical analysis on compositional data has gained a lot of attention due to their great potential of applications. A feature of these data is that they are multivariate vectors that lie in the simplex, that is, the components of each vector are positive and sum up a constant value. This fact poses a challenge to the analyst due to the internal dependency of the components which exhibit a spurious negative correlation. Since classical multivariate techniques are not appropriate in this scenario, it is necessary to endow the simplex of a suitable algebraic-geometrical structure, which is a starting point to develop adequate methodology and strategies to handle compositions. We centered our attention on regression problems with real responses and compositional covariates and we adopt a nonparametric approach due to the flexibility it provides. Aware of the potential damage that outliers may produce, we introduce a robust estimator in the framework of nonparametric regression for compositional data. The performance of the estimators is investigated by means of a numerical study where different contamination schemes are simulated. Through a real data analysis the advantages of using a robust procedure is illustrated.

Abstract

Establish optimal cut points plays a crucial role in epidemiology and biomarker discovery, enabling the development of effective and practical clinical decision criteria. While there is extensive literature to define optimal cut off over scalar biomarkers, there is a notable lack of general methodologies for analyzing statistical objects in more complex spaces of functions and graphs, which are increasingly relevant in digital health applications. This paper proposes a new general methodology to define optimal cut points for random objects in separable Hilbert spaces. The paper is motivated by the need for creating new clinical rules for diabetes mellitus disease, exploiting the functional information of a continuous diabetes monitor (CGM) as a digital biomarker. More specifically, we provide the functional cut off to identify diabetes cases with CGM information based on glucose distributional functional representations.

Abstract

The challenge of handling missing data is widespread in modern data analysis, particularly during the preprocessing phase and in various inferential modeling tasks. Although numerous algorithms exist for imputing missing data, the assessment of imputation quality at the patient level often lacks personalized statistical approaches. Moreover, there is a scarcity of imputation methods for metric space based statistical objects. The aim of this paper is to introduce a novel two-step framework that comprises: (i) a imputation methods for statistical objects taking values in metrics spaces, and (ii) a criterion for personalizing imputation using conformal inference techniques. This work is motivated by the need to impute distributional functional representations of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data within the context of a longitudinal study on diabetes, where a significant fraction of patients do not have available CGM profiles. The importance of these methods is illustrated by evaluating the effectiveness of CGM data as new digital biomarkers to predict the time to diabetes onset in healthy populations. To address these scientific challenges, we propose: (i) a new regression algorithm for missing responses; (ii) novel conformal prediction algorithms tailored for metric spaces with a focus on density responses within the 2-Wasserstein geometry; (iii) a broadly applicable personalized imputation method criterion, designed to enhance both of the aforementioned strategies, yet valid across any statistical model and data structure. Our findings reveal that incorporating CGM data into diabetes time-to-event analysis, augmented with a novel personalization phase of imputation, significantly enhances predictive accuracy by over ten percent compared to traditional predictive models for time to diabetes.

Abstract

Abstract For steel bridges, corrosion has historically led to bridge failures, resulting in fatalities and injuries. To enhance public safety and prevent such incidents, authorities mandate in-situ evaluation and reporting of corroded members. The current inspection and evaluation protocol is characterized by intense labor, traffic delays, and poor capacity predictions. Here we combine full-scale experimental testing of a decommissioned girder, 3D laser scanning, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to introduce a continuous inspection and evaluation framework. Classification and regression CNNs are trained on a databank of 1,421 naturally inspired corrosion scenarios, generated computationally based on point clouds of three corroded girders collected in lab conditions. Results indicate low errors of up to 2.0% and 3.3%, respectively. The methodology is validated on eight real corroded ends and implemented for the evaluation of an in-service bridge. This framework promises significant advancements in assessing aging bridge infrastructure with higher accuracy and efficiency compared to analytical or semi-analytical approaches.

Abstract

Machine learning models are often misspecified in the likelihood, which leads to a lack of robustness in the predictions. In this paper, we introduce a framework for correcting likelihood misspecifications in several paradigm agnostic noisy prior models and test the model's ability to remove the misspecification. The "ABC-GAN" framework introduced is a novel generative modeling paradigm, which combines Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC). This new paradigm assists the existing GANs by incorporating any subjective knowledge available about the modeling process via ABC, as a regularizer, resulting in a partially interpretable model that operates well under low data regimes. At the same time, unlike any Bayesian analysis, the explicit knowledge need not be perfect, since the generator in the GAN can be made arbitrarily complex. ABC-GAN eliminates the need for summary statistics and distance metrics as the discriminator implicitly learns them and enables simultaneous specification of multiple generative models. The model misspecification is simulated in our experiments by introducing noise of various biases and variances. The correction term is learnt via the ABC-GAN, with skip connections, referred to as skipGAN. The strength of the skip connection indicates the amount of correction needed or how misspecified the prior model is. Based on a simple experimental setup, we show that the ABC-GAN models not only correct the misspecification of the prior, but also perform as well as or better than the respective priors under noisier conditions. In this proposal, we show that ABC-GANs get the best of both worlds.

Abstract

Abstract Background The SCHUMANN study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the selective P2 × 3 antagonist eliapixant in patients with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain (EAPP). Methods SCHUMANN was a randomized, placebo- and active comparator-controlled, double-blind to placebo and open-label to comparator, parallel-group, multicenter, dose-finding phase 2b study. The participants were women with surgically diagnosed endometriosis who fulfilled defined EAPP criteria. Participants were randomized 1:1:1:1 to twice daily (BID) 25 mg, 75 mg, or 150 mg oral eliapixant or a placebo for 12 weeks. An exploratory once-daily elagolix 150 mg treatment group was also included. The primary endpoint was the absolute change in mean worst EAPP from baseline to the end of intervention (EOI). Results Overall, 215 participants were randomized for treatment (44 to eliapixant 25 mg, 44 to eliapixant 75 mg, 43 to eliapixant 150 mg, 43 to a placebo, and 41 to elagolix 150 mg). For safety reasons, the study was terminated early; both treatment and enrollment stopped immediately, producing less than 50% of the planned number of completers. The study found no significant differences in EAPP reduction from baseline between groups and no significant dose-response model. The elagolix 150 mg group showed better pain reduction than any of the other groups. No new safety signals were observed, relative to the previously known safety profile of eliapixant, which was generally well tolerated. However, one case of moderate and probably drug-induced liver injury in a participant receiving eliapixant 150 mg BID supported the association between eliapixant and a potential increase in liver function values, defined before the start of the phase 2 program. Conclusions This study did not meet its primary objective as no statistically significant or clinically relevant differences in changes of mean worst EAPP from baseline were observed between treatment groups. The single observed case of moderate, probably drug-induced liver injury was the second case in the eliapixant phase 2 program conducted in the following indications: refractory or unexplained chronic cough, diabetic neuropathic pain, overactive bladder, and EAPP. Due to this, the benefit-risk ratio for the study was no longer considered to be positive. Clinical trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04614246; registered November 3, 2020.

Abstract

Abstract Background Echocardiography is widely used to evaluate left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in patients suspected of heart failure. For patients in sinus rhythm, a combination of several echocardiographic parameters can differentiate between normal and elevated LV filling pressure with good accuracy. However, there is no established echocardiographic approach for the evaluation of LV filling pressure in patients with atrial fibrillation. The objective of the present study was to determine if a combination of several echocardiographic and clinical parameters may be used to evaluate LV filling pressure in patients with atrial fibrillation. Results In a multicentre study of 148 atrial fibrillation patients, several echocardiographic parameters were tested against invasively measured LV filling pressure as the reference method. No single parameter had sufficiently strong association with LV filling pressure to be recommended for clinical use. Based on univariate regression analysis in the present study, and evidence from existing literature, we developed a two-step algorithm for differentiation between normal and elevated LV filling pressure, defining values ≥ 15 mmHg as elevated. The parameters in the first step included the ratio between mitral early flow velocity and septal mitral annular velocity (septal E/e’), mitral E velocity, deceleration time of E, and peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity. Patients who could not be classified in the first step were tested in a second step by applying supplementary parameters, which included left atrial reservoir strain, pulmonary venous systolic/diastolic velocity ratio, and body mass index. This two-step algorithm classified patients as having either normal or elevated LV filling pressure with 75% accuracy and with 85% feasibility. Accuracy in EF ≥ 50% and EF

Abstract

Abstract Background Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana (NPY) is a direct benefit transfer scheme of the Government of India introduced in 2018 to support the additional nutritional requirements of persons with TB (PwTB). Our recent nationwide evaluation of implementation and utilization of NPY using programmatic data of PwTB from nine randomly selected Indian states, reported a 70% coverage and high median delay in benefit credit. We undertook a qualitative study between January and July 2023, to understand the detailed implementation process of NPY and explore the enablers and barriers to effective implementation and utilization of the NPY scheme. Methods We followed a grounded theory approach to inductively develop theoretical explanations for social phenomena through data generated from multiple sources. We conducted 36 in-depth interviews of national, district and field-level staff of the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) and NPY beneficiaries from 30 districts across nine states of India, selected using theoretical sampling. An analytical framework developed through inductive coding of a set of six interviews, guided the coding of the subsequent interviews. Categories and themes emerged through constant comparison and the data collection continued until theoretical saturation. Results Stakeholders perceived NPY as a beneficial initiative. Strong political commitment from the state administration, mainstreaming of NTEP work with the district public healthcare delivery system, availability of good geographic and internet connectivity and state-specific grievance redressal mechanisms and innovations were identified as enablers of implementation. However, the complex, multi-level benefit approval process, difficulties in accessing banking services, perceived inadequacy of benefits and overworked human resources in the NTEP were identified as barriers to implementation and utilization. Conclusion The optimal utilization of NPY is enabled by strong political commitment and challenged by its lengthy implementation process and delayed disbursal of benefits. We recommend greater operational simplicity in NPY implementation, integrating NTEP activities with the public health system to reduce the burden on the program staff, and revising the benefit amount more equitably.

Abstract

Abstract Aims Our aim was to investigate haemodynamics at rest and during exercise in patients with transthyretin cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) in light of the 2022 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and European Respiratory Society (ERS) guidelines on pulmonary hypertension (PH). Methods and results We performed right heart catheterization (RHC) in 57 subjects with ATTR‐CM. The proportion of patients with PH was 77% according to the 2022 guidelines versus 47% when applying the 2015 guidelines. Isolated post‐capillary PH and combined pre‐ and post‐capillary PH were most prevalent. Thirty‐six patients underwent a supine bicycle cardiopulmonary exercise test during RHC. Exercise‐induced PH was defined as an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure from rest to exercise per increase in cardiac output (ΔmPAP/ΔCO) of > 3 mmHg/L/min. An increase in pulmonary arterial wedge pressure per change in cardiac output (ΔPAWP/ΔCO) from rest to exercise >2 mmHg/L/min was considered suggestive of post‐capillary exercise‐induced PH. All but two patients who exercised during RHC developed exercise‐induced PH. The median ΔmPAP/ΔCO was 7.2 mmHg/L/min and ΔPAWP/ΔCO was 5.1 mmHg/L/min. The median ΔRAP/ΔCO was 3.6 mmHg/L/min and ΔRAP/ΔPAWP was 0.6 mmHg/L/min. Conclusions Most patients with ATTR‐CM have isolated post‐capillary or combined pre‐ and post‐capillary PH at rest, and almost all patients develop exercise‐induced PH with a large post‐capillary component. There was a pronounced, but balanced increase in atrial pressures on exercise.

Abstract

AimsDeclining cellular functional capacity resulting from stress or ageing is a primary contributor to impairment of myocardial performance. Molecular pathway regulation of biological processes in cardiac interstitial cells (CICs) is pivotal in stress and ageing responses. Altered localization of the RNA-binding protein Lin28A has been reported in response to environmental stress, but the role of Lin28A in response to stress in CICs has not been explored. Surface Lin28A redistribution is indicative of stress response in CIC associated with ageing and senescence.Methods and resultsLocalization of Lin28A was assessed by multiple experimental analyses and treatment conditions and correlated to oxidative stress, senescence, and ploidy in adult murine CICs. Surface Lin28A expression is present on 5% of fresh CICs and maintained through Passage 2, increasing to 21% in hyperoxic conditions but lowered to 14% in physiologic normoxia. Surface Lin28A is coincident with elevated senescence marker p16 and beta-galactosidase (β-gal) expression in CICs expanded in hyperoxia, and also increases with polyploidization and binucleation of CICs regardless of oxygen culture. Transcriptional profiling of CICs using single-cell RNA-Seq reveals up-regulation of pathways associated with oxidative stress in CICs exhibiting surface Lin28A. Induction of surface Lin28A by oxidative stress is blunted by treatment of cells with the antioxidant Trolox in a dose-dependent manner, with 300 μM Trolox exposure maintaining characteristics of freshly isolated CICs possessing low expression of surface Lin28A and β-gal with predominantly diploid content.ConclusionSurface Lin28A is a marker of environmental oxidative stress in CICs and antioxidant treatment antagonizes this phenotype. The biological significance of Lin28 surface expression and consequences for myocardial responses may provide important insights regarding mitigation of cardiac stress and ageing.

Abstract

Microstructure reconstruction, a major component of inverse computational materials engineering, is currently advancing at an unprecedented rate. While various training-based and training-free approaches are developed, the majority of contributions are based on generative adversarial networks. In contrast, diffusion models constitute a more stable alternative, which have recently become the new state of the art and currently attract much attention. The present work investigates the applicability of diffusion models to the reconstruction of real-world microstructure data. For this purpose, a highly diverse and morphologically complex data set is created by combining and processing databases from the literature, where the reconstruction of realistic micrographs for a given material class demonstrates the ability of the model to capture these features. Furthermore, a fiber composite data set is used to validate the applicability of diffusion models to small data set sizes that can realistically be created by a single lab. The quality and diversity of the reconstructed microstructures is quantified by means of descriptor-based error metrics as well as the Fr\'echet inception distance (FID) score. Although not present in the training data set, the generated samples are visually indistinguishable from real data to the untrained eye and various error metrics are computed. This demonstrates the utility of diffusion models in microstructure reconstruction and provides a basis for further extensions such as 2D-to-3D reconstruction or application to multiscale modeling and structure-property linkages.

Abstract

Abstract Background A high concentration of inspired supplemental oxygen may possibly cause hypercapnia and acidosis and increase mortality in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Even so, patients with AECOPD are being treated with high oxygen flow rates when receiving inhalation drugs in the prehospital setting. A cluster-randomised controlled trial found that reduced oxygen delivery by titrated treatment reduced mortality—a result supported by observational studies—but the results have never been reproduced. In the STOP-COPD trial, we investigate the effect of titrated oxygen delivery compared with usual care consisting of high flow oxygen delivery in patients with AECOPD in the prehospital setting. Methods In this randomised controlled trial, patients will be blinded to allocation. Patients with suspected AECOPD (n = 1888) attended by the emergency medical service (EMS) and aged > 40 years will be allocated randomly to either standard treatment or titrated oxygen, targeting a blood oxygen saturation of 88–92% during inhalation therapy. The trial will be conducted in the Central Denmark Region and include all ambulance units. The power to detect a 3% 30-day mortality risk difference is 80%. The trial is approved as an emergency trial. Hence, EMS providers will include patients without prior consent. Discussion The results will provide evidence on whether titrated oxygen delivery outperforms standard high flow oxygen when used to nebulise inhaled bronchodilators in AECOPD treatment. The trial is designed to ensure unselected inclusion of patients with AECOPD needing nebulised bronchodilators—a group of patients that receives high oxygen fractions when treated in the prehospital setting where the only compressed gas is generally pure oxygen. Conducting this trial, we aim to improve treatment for people with AECOPD while reducing their 30-day mortality.

Abstract

A frequent problem in statistical science is how to properly handle missing data in matched paired observations. There is a large body of literature coping with the univariate case. Yet, the ongoing technological progress in measuring biological systems raises the need for addressing more complex data, e.g., graphs, strings and probability distributions, among others. In order to fill this gap, this paper proposes new estimators of the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) to handle complex matched pairs with missing data. These estimators can detect differences in data distributions under different missingness mechanisms. The validity of this approach is proven and further studied in an extensive simulation study, and results of statistical consistency are provided. Data from continuous glucose monitoring in a longitudinal population-based diabetes study are used to illustrate the application of this approach. By employing the new distributional representations together with cluster analysis, new clinical criteria on how glucose changes vary at the distributional level over five years can be explored.

Abstract

AbstractHybrid graphene filled glass/sisal fiber-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites were successfully synthesized with different weight percentages (0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1%) of graphene nanoplatelets. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of weight fraction of graphene on the mechanical and physical properties of the hybrid glass/sisal fiber-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites such as tensile, flexural, hardness, density, void content, flammability, water absorption and thickness swelling. The hybrid nanocomposites were fabricated using the vacuum bag-assisted hand lay-up technique. Different layup sequences were achieved by changing the position of the glass/sisal fiber layers, maintaining a total of five layers in each composite. The obtained results suggested that the addition of 1% graphene nano filler into the sisal/glass hybrid composite enhanced the tensile strength by 49.7% and Young’s modulus by 60%. Among GNP reinforced hybrid composites, highest value of toughness (16 J) was found in case of the composite containing 1 wt.% GNP. However, when 0.5% of GNPs were added in the composite, the flexural strength and modulus reached a maximum of 306 MPa and 25 GPa, respectively, which are 228% and 362% greater than sisal/glass hybrid composites. The water absorption of the composite sample containing 0.5% GNPs was 4.62% lower than those of other hybrid glass/sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composite. Furthermore, addition of 0.5 wt% GNP resulted in a decrease in the burning rate of the hybrid composite from 11.22 mm/min to 7.6 mm/min and from 23.13 mm/min to 20.18 mm/min, respectively.

Abstract

The combination of additively manufactured metal components with thermoset fibre-reinforced composites provides the possibility to produce hybrid structures with increased functionality and reduced mass. The application in the high-performance sector, for example the implementation of such a hybrid structure in electric drive units in aviation, provides the potential to achieve the high power densities required. The challenges in this regard are the manufacturing, design and dimensioning of the interface between the two components regarding the technical requirements, such as the high temperature range. In this publication, metal specimens are manufactured using selective laser melting (SLM) and then pre-treated. The joint with the composite is obtained in the subsequent infiltration process when the composite part is manufactured. For the experimental characterization of the interface different combinations of fibre-reinforced composites and metals are used. Within roughness measurement the surface of the different materials due to the treatment were analysed and the intrinsic interfaces were microscopically examined. The joint strength is investigated in double lap shear test at different temperatures and the results are discussed based on the fabrication process and the characteristics of the hybrid interface. The results provide the basis for the future design and numerical description of the interfaces.

Abstract

IntroductionPre-transplant obesity and weight gain after heart transplantation are both associated with increased risk of poor clinical outcomes. We aimed to assess the association between overweight or obesity, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life in heart transplant recipients.MethodsThis study is based on baseline data from the IronIC trial, in which we randomized 102 heart transplant recipients with iron deficiency to ferric derisomaltose or placebo. We performed cardio pulmonary exercise testing in all participants. To assess quality of life, we used the SF-36v2 questionnaire, using two sum scores: the physical component summary and the mental component summary. A minimal clinically important difference was defined as ≥2 and ≥3 for the physical and the mental component summary, respectively.Results24/102 heart transplant recipients (24%) had a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2. Peak oxygen consumption was 17.3 ± 4.6 ml/kg/min in the obese group vs. 24.7 ± 6.4 ml/kg/min in the group with a BMI

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of social media presence and conflict response on the stock returns during the Russia–Ukraine war. We examined the long-term impacts regarding social media presence, response time, action taken, and industry affiliation using a sample of 174 firms in 10 industrial sectors. The results highlight that response time and actions significantly impacted stock returns in both the short- term and long-term. Conversely, social media presence marginally affected response decisions, but did not significantly affect stock returns.

Abstract

Cardiac fibroblast (CF) population heterogeneity and plasticity present a challenge for categorization of biological and functional properties. Distinct molecular markers and associated signaling pathways provide valuable insight for CF biology and interventional strategies to influence injury response and aging-associated remodeling. Receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit mediates cell survival, proliferation, migration, and is activated by pathological injury. However, the biological significance of c-Kit within CF population has not been addressed. An inducible reporter mouse detects c-Kit promoter activation with Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) expression in cardiac cells. Coincidence of EGFP and c-Kit with the DDR2 fibroblast marker was confirmed using flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. Subsequently, CFs expressing DDR2 with or without c-Kit was isolated and characterized. A subset of DDR2+ CFs also express c-Kit with coincidence in ~ 8% of total cardiac interstitial cells (CICs). Aging is associated with decreased number of c-Kit expressing DDR2+ CFs, whereas pathological injury induces c-Kit and DDR2 as well as the frequency of coincident expression in CICs. scRNA-Seq profiling reveals the transcriptome of c-Kit expressing CFs as cells with transitional phenotype. Cultured cardiac DDR2+ fibroblasts that are c-Kit+ exhibit morphological and functional characteristics consistent with youthful phenotypes compared to c-Kit- cells. Mechanistically, c-Kit expression correlates with signaling implicated in proliferation and cell migration, including phospho-ERK and pro-caspase 3. The phenotype of c-kit+ on DDR2+ CFs correlates with multiple characteristics of 'youthful' cells. To our knowledge, this represents the first evaluation of c-Kit biology within DDR2+ CF population and provides a fundamental basis for future studies to influence myocardial biology, response to pathological injury and physiological aging.

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the real use of cefazolin for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) infective endocarditis (IE) in the Spanish National Endocarditis Database (GAMES) and to compare it with antistaphylococcal penicillin (ASP). Methods: Prospective cohort study with retrospective analysis of a cohort of MSSA IE treated with cloxacillin and/or cefazolin. Outcomes assessed were relapse; intra-hospital, overall, and endocarditis-related mortality; and adverse events. Risk of renal toxicity with each treatment was evaluated separately. Results: We included 631 IE episodes caused by MSSA treated with cloxacillin and/or cefazolin. Antibiotic treatment was cloxacillin, cefazolin, or both in 537 (85%), 57 (9%), and 37 (6%) episodes, respectively. Patients treated with cefazolin had significantly higher rates of comorbidities (median Charlson Index 7, P

Abstract

With the advancing energy transition, icing is a growing problem in the wind turbine sector. The development of systems to detect and mitigate icing makes it necessary to understand its basic behavior and characteristics. This paper proposes a method for the continuous and full-field measurement of the icing process of rotating blades, using a single line laser profile scanner. Inside of a climate chamber, a rotor is driven by a motor, while a system of nozzles provides a fine water dust, which leads to ice accumulating on simple NACA blades, which in turn is measured by a triangulation laser. The measurement data are cleared from outliers and presented as a surface in 3D space. An alpha shape is used to reconstruct and extract the volume of the ice between a reference and a measurement surface, using the corresponding Matlab function. Appropriate input parameters for the function and offsetting of the reference surface to improve the results are compared and discussed. The resulting system is able to detect small changes in the ice layer thickness in the sub-millimeter range.
