  2. 1. Analysis of Dynamics of the Tippe Top

    Author : Nils Rutstam; Stefan Rauch; Hans Lundmark; Tudor Ratiu; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The Tippe Top is a toy that has the form of a truncated sphere with a small peg. When spun on its spherical part on a flat supporting surface it will start to turn upside down to spin on its peg. READ MORE

  4. 2. Top-Down Designers vs Bottom-Up Users : limitations of Heuristic Evaluations on Games

    Author : Björn Strååt; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Design; Heuristic evaluation; video games; expert analysis; user comments; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : Heuristic evaluations are a common way to measure software usability, both during development and to assess existing systems. Generic heuristic tools are aimed at productivity software, but many software domains require domain-specific heuristics. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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.

  6. 4. Development of a Morphology-based Analysis Framework for Asphalt Pavements

    Author : Ibrahim Onifade; Björn Birgisson; Nicole Kringos; Denis Jelagin; William G. Buttlar; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Morphology; damage; X-ray computed tomography; top-down cracking; fracture; Morfologi; skador; röntgendatortomografi; ’top-down’sprickbildning; fraktur; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : The morphology of asphalt mixtures plays a vital role in their properties and behaviour. The work in this thesis is aimed at developing a fundamental understanding of the effect of the asphalt morphology on the strength properties and deformation mechanisms for development of morphology-based analysis framework for long-term response prediction.

  7. 5. Community Robustness Analysis : Theoretical Approaches to Identifying Keystone Structures in Ecological Communities

    Author : Sofia Berg; Tomas Jonsson; Bo Ebenman; Daniel Stouffer; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Most of the world’s ecosystems suffer from stress caused by human activities such as habitat destruction, fragmentation, overexploitation of species and climate change. These factors affect the reproduction and/or survival of individual species as well as interactions between species in ecological communities. READ MORE
