4. 7. Towards Intelligent Deformable Models for Medical Image Analysis

   Author : Ghassan Hamarneh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; shape modeling; deformable models; principal component analysis; echocardiography; snakes; active shape models; deformable spatio-temporal shape models; medial-based shape profiles; statistical shape variation; spatio-temporal shape analysis; magnetic resonance imaging; hierarchical regional principal component analysis; oral lesions; dynamic programming; segmentation; spring-mass model; shape deformation; optical flow; medical image analysis; artificial life; physics-based modeling; deformable organisms; digital color images; medial axis; active contour models;

   Abstract : Medical imaging continues to permeate the practice of medicine, but automated yet accurate segmentation and labeling of anatomical structures continues to be a major obstacle to computerized medical image analysis (MIA). Deformable models, with its profound roots in estimation theory, optimization, and physics-based dynamical systems, represent a powerful approach to the general problem of medical image segmentation.

5. 8. Sagali and the Kula : A Regional Systems Analysis of the Massim

   Author : Johnny Persson; Socialantropologi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; political organization; exchange systems; structural transformations; reproductive models; regional analysis; kula; Trobriands; Massim; Melanesia; Papua New Guinea; Cultural anthropology; ethnology; Kulturantropologi; etnologi;

   Abstract : This thesis is concerned with developing a consistent regional perspective on the Massim peoples of southeastern Papua New Guinea, a task largely neglected by earlier anthropological studies, it is claimed, or, when sometimes attempted, unsuccessfully accomplished for a number of reasons, both methodological and theoretical. The author uses a comparative approach for investigating a selection of Massim societies. READ MORE

6. 9. Understanding regional peace and security: A framework for analysis

   Author : Rodrigo Tavares; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; security; peace; regions; regional peace and security cluster; regional organizations; South Asia; Europe; Kashmir; Olivenza; Gibraltar;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to build an analytical framework for understanding regional peace and security. Building on important insights from other theoretical approaches and drawing from empirical data, the framework aims to problematize and understand: (a) how peace and security cluster at the regional level, (b) the components of each regional cluster, and (c) the linkages that exist between them.

7. 10. Regional Intermodal Transport Systems : Analysis and Case Study in the Stockholm-Mälaren Region

   Author : Behzad Kordnejad; Bo-Lennart Nelldal; Rickard Bergqvist; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Järnvägsgruppen - Effektiva tågsystem för godstrafik; Järnvägsgruppen - Effektiva tågsystem för godstrafik;

   Abstract : The global trend of urbanization is evident and also valid in Sweden and for the Stockholm-Mälaren region, also referred to as the Mälaren valley, a region consisting of metropolitan Stockholm and areas around the lake of Mälaren. In this context, efficient urban freight transportation has emerged as essential for sustainable development of urban areas. READ MORE
