2. 1. Towards Asymptotic Vector Quantization

   Author : Jonas Samuelsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EM algorithm; parametric models; expectation maximization; spectrum coding; Gaussian mixture models; fast search; bounded support; multidimensional companding; vector quantization; high rate quantization;

   Abstract : We study topics in source coding, and vector quantization (VQ) in particular. We approach VQ from two directions: a theoretical starting point based on high rate quantization theory, and a practical based on a database desription of the signal source. READ MORE

4. 2. Improving accuracy of in situ gamma-ray spectrometry

   Author : Jonas Boson; Christer Samuelsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gamma-ray spectrometry; in situ measurement; HPGe detector; 137Cs; Monte Carlo; efficiency calibration; measurement uncertainty; Radiological physics; Radiofysik;

   Abstract : Gamma-ray spectrometry measurements performed on site, or “in situ”, is a widely used and powerful method that can be employed both to identify and quantify ground deposited radionuclides. The purpose of this thesis is to improve the calibration of high purity germanium (HPGe) detectors for in situ measurements, and calculate the combined uncertainty and potential systematic effects.

5. 3. In situ remediation of contaminated sediments using thin-layer capping : effectiveness in contaminant retention and ecological implications

   Author : Göran Samuelsson; Jonas Gunnarsson; Maria Granberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thin layer capping; sediment remediation; activated carbon; contaminated sediment; benthic community; Systems Ecology; systemekologi;

   Abstract : Hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) often reside in sediment sorbed to particles, most tightly to particles with high content of organic carbon. If persistent, such pollutants can accumulate in the sediment for many years and constitute a contamination risk for sediment-living organisms and organisms at higher trophic levels, including humans.

6. 4. Metabolic Control, Morbidity and Mortality in Type 1 Diabetes with Onset in Childhood/Adolescence

   Author : John Samuelsson; Karin Åkesson; Ragnar Hanås; Lena Hanberger; Ann-Marie Svensson; Jonas Ludvigsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 1 diabetes; HbA1c; Mortality; Autoimmune comorbidity;

   Abstract : Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to study mortality in individuals with onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in childhood and adolescence in Sweden, related to clinical characteristics such as metabolic control in childhood/adolescence and comorbidity.  Methods: All studies in this thesis were register-based observational studies using a nationwide and population-based quality register, the paediatric part of the Swe-dish National Diabetes Register (NDR), for identification and collection of clinical data of individuals with T1D diagnosed before 18 years of age.

7. 5. In situ remediation of contaminated sediments using thin-layer capping : efficiency in contaminant retention and ecological implications

   Author : Göran S. Samuelsson; Jonas S. Gunnarsson; Bart Koelmans; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Contaminated Sediment Remediation; Activated Carbon; Benthic Community; Ecological Effects; Stress; Resilience; Contaminant Sequestration; Capping Efficiency; Bioavailability; Bioaccumulation; Sediment-to-water fluxes; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

   Abstract : Hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) often reside in sediments sorbed to particles, most tightly to particles with high content of organic carbon. If persistent, such pollutants can accumulate in the sediment for many years and constitute a contamination risk for sediment-living organisms and organisms at higher trophic levels, including humans.
