  2. 1. Towards flexible audio coding

    Author : Renat Vafin; Bastiaan Kleijn; Juergen Herre; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electronics; Audio coding; multistage coding; waveform coding; parametric coding; sinusoidal coding; Elektronik; Electronics; Elektronik;

    Abstract : thesis is about audio coding and improving flexibility thereof. Audio coding is used to reduce the bit rate needed to represent audio signals in digital format. When the available bit rate is low, parametric coding methods that use models to describe perceptually-important features of audio signals have shown their efficiency. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Fractal Methods for Greyscale Image Data Compression

    Author : Mirek Novak; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In this thesis fractal methods for image coding of still images are discussed. A specific class of encoding algorithms is introduced, where the algorithms are based on dividing image data into two components. One component is the part of the data which can be represented by a parametric model. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies of genetic and environmental influences on Parkinson’s disease

    Author : Karin Wirdefeldt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Parkinson s disease; genetic linkage; autosomal dominant; in situ hybridization; a-Synuclein; twin; heritability; co-twin control; smoking;

    Abstract : Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease. Little is known about the etiology of PD. Although several PD genes are known, these are thought to be involved in only a small proportion of all PD cases. READ MORE

  7. 5. Genetic studies of colorectal cancer

    Author : Johanna Skoglund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : colorectal cancer; linkage analysis; TGFBR1; case-control study; meta-analysis;

    Abstract : Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide with an incidence rate of over 1 million cases per year. A genetic contribution has been suggested to be involved in around 35% of all colorectal cancer cases. READ MORE
