  2. 1. Passing the open windows : A quantitative and qualitative approach to immediate military balance and escalation of protracted conflicts

    Author : Björn Holmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Peace and conflict research; Window of opportunity; realism; balance of power; rational choice; organizationtheory; learning; Freds- och konfliktforskning; Peace and conflict research; Freds- och konfliktforskning; Peace and Conflict Research; freds- och konfliktforskning;

    Abstract : This dissertation has a dual point of departure: first, the widely known concept of window of opportunity and its application in the study of international relations (IR) and, second, the notion among modern classical realists that states maximize their power and, hence, that windows of opportunity should increase the probability of escalation to war or escalation of a war.The focus is primarily on the effects of rapid power shifts in dyads of non-great powers experiencing protracted conflict.

  4. 2. Towards markerless analysis of human motion

    Author : Björn Holmberg; Håkan Lanshammar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Systems Analysis; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot systemanalys;

    Abstract : The topic for this thesis is the analysis of human movement, or more specifically, markerless analysis of human movement from video material. By markerless analysis is meant that the full image material is used as input in contrast with traditional marker systems that only use the positions of marker centers. READ MORE

  5. 3. Estimating Human Limb Motion Using Skin Texture and Particle Filtering

    Author : Björn Holmberg; Håkan Lanshammar; Virgil Stokes; Christopher L. Vaughan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human motion analysis; Skin texture; Monte Carlo estimation; Particle filter; Mutual Information; Simulated Annealing; Marker-free; Rigid body transformation; 2D correlation; Systems engineering; Systemteknik;

    Abstract : Estimating human motion is the topic of this thesis. We are interested in accurately estimating the motion of a human body using only video images capturing the subject in motion. Video images from up to two cameras are considered.The first main topic of the thesis is to investigate a new type of input data. READ MORE

  6. 4. The diagnostic challenge of Parkinsonian syndromes. Clinical and laboratory evaluation
