  2. 6. A Parametric Approach to Yeast Growth Curve Estimation and Standardization

    Author : Ilona Pylvänäinen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioscreen; Chapman-Richards model; growth curve; growth rate; lag time; optical density OD ; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; standardized curve; stationary phase OD increment; summary curve; optical density OD ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of yeast growth. It builds upon a dataset consisting of growth curves of 576 Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants in eight different environments. The data will be a part of a publicly available phenotypic library, PROPHECY, containing growth curves and characteristics of viable S. READ MORE

  4. 7. Growth hormone responsiveness in children : results from Swedish multicenter clinical trials of growth hormone treatment

    Author : Elena Lundberg; Berit Kriström; Kerstin Albertsson-Wikland; Roland Pfäffle; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gain in height; puberty; IGHD; non-GHD; IGF-I; bioavailability;

    Abstract : The general aims of the thesis were to study GH responsiveness by estimation of pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of injected recombinant human GH (rhGH), of growth response as gain in heightSDS during childhood and puberty, and IGF-I response as change in circulating IGF-ISDS and IGFBP3SDS. Methods Short children were recruited during 1988–1999 into two national randomized multicentre clinical trials on growth until adult height. READ MORE

  5. 8. Bioenergy, pollution, and economic growth

    Author : Mattias Ankarhem; Runar Brännlund; David Stern; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Forest sector; Forest fuels; Dynamic factor demand; Adjustment costs; Economic growth; Pollution; Environmental Kuznets curve; Shadow price; Distance function; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi; Economics; nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers: two of them deal with the effects on the forest sector of an increase in the demand for forest fuels, and two of them concern the relation between economic growth and pollution. Paper [I] is a first, preliminary study of the potential effects on the Swedish forest sector of a continuing rise in the use of forest resources as a fuel in energy generation. READ MORE

  6. 9. An Edgeworth-type Expansion of the Distribution of a Likelihood-based Classifier for Single Time-point Measurements and Growth Curves

    Author : Emelyne Umunoza Gasana; Dietrich von Rosen; Martin Singull; Nestor Parolya; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cumulants of discriminant function; Edgeworth-type expansion; Growth curves classification; Likelihood-based discriminant analysis; Misclassification errors;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on approximating misclassification errors of likelihood-based classifiers considering two cases. The first case assumes the allocation of a new observation into two normal populations. READ MORE

  7. 10. Contributions to linear discriminant analysis with applications to growth curves

    Author : Edward Kanuti Ngailo; Martin Singull; Dietrich von Rosen; Anuradha Roy; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns contributions to linear discriminant analysis with applications to growth curves.Firstly, we present the linear discriminant function coefficients in a stochastic representation using random variables from the standard univariate distributions. READ MORE
