  2. 11. Visual Attention in Active Vision Systems : Attending, Classifying and Manipulating Objects

    Author : Babak Rasolzadeh; Jan-Olof Eklundh; Ales Leonardis; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; visual attention; saliency map; compter vision; robotics; active vision; machine learning;

    Abstract : This thesis has presented a computational model for the combination of bottom-up and top-down attentional mechanisms. Furthermore, the use for this model has been demonstrated in a variety of applications of machine and robotic vision. READ MORE

  4. 12. Occupant casualties in bus and coach traffic : injury and crash mechanisms

    Author : Pontus Albertsson; Ulf Björnstig; Torbjörn Falkmer; Claes Tingvall; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; bus; coach; aerodynamics; crash; non-crash; cross-wind; injuries; weight distribution; road friction; restraints; haddons matrix; prevention; severe crash; mass casualty; major incident; alighting; boarding; incidents; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Background: The relevance of conducting this thesis is evident by the fact that bus and coach casualties have been “stubbornly stable” in Europe recent years and a need for investigating if a similar trend could be found in Sweden is therefore obvious. It was also important to add new knowledge to the bus and coach research in Sweden, since many areas were scarcely addressed. READ MORE

  5. 13. Cell-penetrating peptides for oligonucleotide delivery : Design and uptake mechanisms

    Author : Staffan Lindberg; Ülo Langel; Arwyn Jones; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell-penetrating peptides; gene therapy; scavenger receptors; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : The use of oligonucleotides for gene therapy has the potential to efficiently treat a plethora of diseases with minimal side effects. However, the use of oligonucleotides is hampered by the properties of these molecules, which make it essentially impossible for them to permeate the cellular membrane. READ MORE

  6. 14. Transparency Mechanisms in HRI : Improving an observer’s understanding of social robots

    Author : Sebastian Wallkötter; Ginevra Castellano; Rachid Alami; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; human-robot interaction; social robotics; transparency; explainability; legibility; modeling and simulating human; machine learning;

    Abstract : During an interaction between a robot and its user, a robot may sometimes do things that the user finds unintuitive. This often happens because the user does not understand the robot’s intent, state, or policy well enough. READ MORE

  7. 15. A model of attention selection in driving

    Author : Johan A Skifs Engström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; driver modelling; adaptive behaviour; Driver inattention; attention selection; accident analysis; biased competition; driver error; biased competition; driver distraction;

    Abstract : Inattention is one of the most common factors contributing to road crashes. However, the basic mechanisms behind inattention and how it leads to crashes are still relatively poorly understood. READ MORE
