  2. 21. Essays on the economics of medical practice variations

    Author : Ingemar Eckerlund; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of an overview and five essays. The purpose of the thesis is to show how economics can contribute to a better understanding of medical practice variations why they exist, their consequences, and the extent to which they can and should be influenced. READ MORE

  4. 22. Computational Modelling in Drug Discovery : Application of Structure-Based Drug Design, Conformal Prediction and Evaluation of Virtual Screening

    Author : Martin Lindh; Anders Karlén; Antti Poso; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; drug discovery; docking; virtual screening; tuberculosis; conformal prediction;

    Abstract : Structure-based drug design and virtual screening are areas of computational medicinal chemistry that use 3D models of target proteins. It is important to develop better methods in this field with the aim of increasing the speed and quality of early stage drug discovery. READ MORE

  5. 23. Maintenance performance indicators (MPIs) for railway infrastructure : identification and analysis for improvement

    Author : Thomas Åhrén; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance;

    Abstract : With increasing awareness that maintenance not only ensures safety and track performance, but also creates additional value in the business process; many infrastructure managers and owners are treating maintenance as an integral part of the business process. This is also true for the Banverket (Swedish National Rail Administration). READ MORE

  6. 24. Short-Term Traffic Prediction in Large-Scale Urban Networks

    Author : Matej Cebecauer; Erik Jenelius; Wilco Burghout; Balázs Kulcsár; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; travel time prediction; short-term travel time prediction; traffic prediction; clustering; partitioning; spatio-temporal partitioning; large-scale prediction; PPCA; 3D speed map; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : City-wide travel time prediction in real-time is an important enabler for efficient use of the road network. It can be used in traveler information to enable more efficient routing of individual vehicles as well as decision support for traffic management applications such as directed information campaigns or incident management.
