2. 1. Modelling of drug-effect on time-varying biomarkers

   Author : Felix Held; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cortisol; TNFα; hierarchical modelling; turnover model; pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic modelling; cortisol TNFα hierarchical modelling turnover model pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic modelling;

   Abstract : Model-based quantification of drug effect is an efficient tool during pre-clinical and clinical phases of drug trials. Mathematical modelling can lead to improved understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms, help in finding shortcomings of experimental design and suggest improvements, or be an effective tool in simulation-based analyses.

4. 2. Issues of Complex Hierarchical Data and Multilevel Analysis : Applications in Empirical Economics

   Author : Joel Karlsson; Ghazi Shukur; Håkan Locking; Scott Hacker; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Multilevel modelling; Hierarchical modelling; Single farm payments; Part-time unemployment; Educational attainment; Performance evaluation; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of four individual essays and an introduction chapter. The essays are in the field of multilevel analysis of economic data. The first essay estimates capitalisation effects of farm attributes, with a particular focus on single farm payments (SFP), into the price of farms. READ MORE

5. 3. Hierarchical finite element modelling of Biot's equations for vibro-acoustic modelling of layered poroelastic media

   Author : Nils-Erik Hörlin; Peter Göransson; Frank Ihlenburg; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering physics; finite element; hierarchical; Biot; porous material; vibro-acoustic; Teknisk fysik; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns three-dimensional finite element modelling of Biot's equations for elasto-acoustic modelling of wave propagation in layered media including porous elastic materials. The concept of hierarchical (p-version) finite elements are combined with various weak forms of Biot's equations. READ MORE

6. 4. Towards automated conceptual design space exploration

   Author : Jakob Müller; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering Design; Model Abstraction; Function Modelling; Knowledge Based Engineering; Model Based Design; Function-Means Modelling; Geometry Modelling; Design Space Exploration; Product Development; Systems Engineering; Design Automation; Aerospace;

   Abstract : In mature and safety-concerned industries, such as the aerospace industry, product development is often incremental and design solutions are limited to improvements of an existing design. Radical changes to the known product architecture are avoided, for reasons of reliability, lack of technology or lack of design space exploration (DSE) methods. READ MORE

7. 5. Modelling Aspects of Wastewater Treatment Processes

   Author : Ulf Jeppsson; Industriell elektroteknik och automation; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automatiska system; control engineering; robotics; Automation; thickening; solids flux; simulation; secondary clarifier; protozoa; predators; parameter estimation; model reduction; model identifiability; mathematical modelling; clarification; biofilm; activated sludge; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

   Abstract : Wastewater treatment processes are inherently dynamic because of the large variations in the influent wastewater flow rate, concentration and composition. Moreover, these variations are to a large extent not possible to control. READ MORE
