  2. 1. FINGERPRINT IMAGE ENHANCEMENT, SEGMENTATION AND MINUTIAE DETECTION

    Author : Josef Ström Bartunek; Ingvar Claesson; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; adaptive fingerprint image enhancement; fingerprint segmentation; gray-scale image normalization; minutiae features; neural networks; frequency analysis; kurtosis;

    Abstract : Prior to 1960's, the fingerprint analysis was carried out manually by human experts and for forensic purposes only. Automated fingerprint identification systems (AFIS) have been developed during the last 50 years. The success of AFIS resulted in that its use expanded beyond forensic applications and became common also in civilian applications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Applications of diffusion MRI: Tensor-valued encoding, time-dependent diffusion, and histological validation

    Author : Jan Brabec; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diffusion MRI; meningioma; glioma; brain tumors; intracranial tumors; undulations; restricted diffusion; time dependence; spherical b-tensor encoding; linear b-tensor encoding; histogram analysis; anisotropic kurtosis; isotropic kurtosis; hyperintensity; conspicuity; white matter; detection; diffusion spectrum; consistency; type; grade; axon diameter; axonal trajectories; Fysicumarkivet A:2022:Brabec;

    Abstract : Diffusion MRI (dMRI) sensitizes the MR signal to the diffusion of water molecules at the microscopic level and thereby non-invasively probes tissue microstructure. This is relevant when determining biological properties of tissues, for example, cancer type and its malignancy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Investigation of Water Mobility using Diffusion-Sensitive MRI: The Role of q-Space Imaging, High b-Values and Diffusion Time

    Author : Jimmy Lätt; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MRI; kurtosis; high b-value; diffusion; diffusion time; NMR; q-space;

    Abstract : Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) diffusometry provides important information about molecular motion on a microscopic scale. The advantage of NMR diffusometry is its ability to characterise microstructures non-invasively. This has made the method important not only in chemistry, biochemistry and materials science, but also in medicine. READ MORE

  6. 4. Semi-Markov Models for Insurance and Option Rewards

    Author : Fredrik Stenberg; Dmitrii Silvestrov; Kimmo Eriksson; Nikolaos Limnios; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; semi-Markov process; discrete time; insurance; actuarial; higher order reward; disability; variance; skewness; kurtosis; reward process; stochastic volatility; controlling semi-Markov process; Monte Carlo algorithm; convergence; optimal stopping; skeleton approximation; regime switching; semi-Markov modulated; European option; American option; Lévy process.; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Matematik tillämpad matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents studies of semi-Markov models for insurance and option rewards. The thesis consists of the introduction and six papers. The introduction presents the results of the thesis in an informal way.In paper A, a general semi-Markov reward model is presented. READ MORE

  7. 5. Aspects of Moment Testing when p>n

    Author : Zhizheng Wang; Thomas Holgersson; Miguel Fonseca; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; High-dimensional data; Asymptotic distribution; Kolmogorov condition; Monte Carlo simulation; Hypothesis testing; Skewness and kurtosis; Statistics Econometrics; Statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the problem of statistical hypothesis testing for mean vector as well as testing for non-normality in a high-dimensional setting which is called the Kolmogorov condition. Since we consider mainly the first and the second moment in testing for mean vector and we utilize the third and the fourth moment in testing for non-normality, this thesis concerns a more general moment testing problem.
