  2. 1. Spatial Analysis and Modeling for Health Applications

    Author : Lars Skog; Yifang Ban; Matthew Smallman-Raynor; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sweden; spatial analysis; spatial modeling; spatio-temporal spread; epidemiology; pandemic; walkability; health; Russian influenza; Asian influenza; A H1N1 pdm09; GWM; climate factors;

    Abstract : Despite the benefits of applying methods of geographic information science (GIScience), the use of such methods in health service planning and provision remains greatly underutilized. Spread of epidemic diseases is a constant threat to mankind and the globalization of the world increases the risk for global attacks from multi-resistant bacteria or deadly virus strains. READ MORE

  4. 2. Past demography and local adaptation in forest trees : Insights from natural populations and breeding programs of Norway spruce

    Author : Lili Li; Martin Lascoux; Brunno Fady; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; clines; demographic history; local adaptation; Picea abies; Picea obovata; population genetic structure; Swedish breeding program; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : Spatial changes in natural selection patterns can give rise to local adaptation and genetic differentiation between populations. Local adaptation for phenological traits is pronounced in many forest tree species. READ MORE

  5. 3. GIS in Transport Modelling

    Author : Svante Berglund; KTH; []
    Keywords : GIS; Transport Modelling; Accessibility; Local spatial association; Flow data; Travel demand modelling;

    Abstract : .... READ MORE

  6. 4. Spatial Statistics and Ancestral Recombination Graphs with Applications in Gene Mapping and Geostatistics

    Author : Linda Werner Hartman; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetik; Genetics; cytogenetics; cytogenetik; genetic association analysis; ancestral recombination graph Generalized linear mixed models; kriging; bilinear interpolation; Gaussian Markov random fields; Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis explores models and algorithms in geostatistics and gene mapping. The first part deals with the use of computationally effective lattice models for inference of data with a continuous spatial index. READ MORE

  7. 5. Four essays on spatial modelling and welfare analysis

    Author : Anders Karlström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : There are two different econometric approaches used in thisthesis, random utility econometrics and spatialeconometrics. Random utility econometrics has become an increasinglyimportant tool in transportation, labour economics, housingeconomics, non-market valuation, resource and environmentaleconomics. READ MORE
