  2. 1. Computational Modelling of Early Olfactory Processing

    Author : Malin Sandström; Anders Lansner; Jeanette Hällgren Kotaleski; Thomas Nowotny; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; olfaction; olfactory system; olfactory bulb; olfactory receptor neuron; synchronization; CaMKII; mathematical modelling; lukt; luktsystemet; luktbulben; synkronisering; CaMKII; matematisk modellering; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Chemical sensing is believed to be the oldest sensory ability. The chemical senses, olfaction and gustation, developed to detect and analyze information in the form of air- or waterborne chemicals, to find food and mates, and to avoid danger. READ MORE

  4. 2. Insights into the Evolution of Moth Pheromone Communication: Lessons from the European Corn Borer

    Author : Jean-Marc Lassance; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biosynthetic enzymes; evolution; Ostrinia nubilalis; mate choice; mate finding; olfaction; biosynthesis; speciation; moth; pheromone; olfactory receptors.;

    Abstract : Chemical communication by means of sex pheromones is central to the mating systems of a wide range of organisms. Because reproductive isolation is often based on pheromone differences, understanding how pheromones diverge is necessary for a complete comprehension of the speciation process. READ MORE

  5. 3. Early Information Processing in the Vertebrate Olfactory System : A Computational Study

    Author : Malin Sandström; Anders Lansner; Dominique Martinez; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; olfaction; olfactory system; olfactory bulb; synchronisation; CaMKII; mathematical modelling; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : The olfactory system is believed to be the oldest sensory system. It developed to detect and analyse chemical information in the form of odours, and its organisation follows the same principles in almost all living animals - insects as well as mammals. READ MORE

  6. 4. Domain Knowledge Assisted Robotic Exploration and Source Localization

    Author : Thomas Wiedemann; Achim Lilienthal; Dmitriy Shutin; Alcherio Martinoli; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mobile Robot Olfaction; Robotic Exploration; Gas Dispersion Modelling; Bayesian Inference; Sparse Bayesian Learning;

    Abstract : Deploying mobile robots to explore hazardous environments provides an advantageous way to avoid threats for human operators. For example, in situations, where airborne toxic or explosive material is leaking, robots can be dispatched to localize the leaks. READ MORE

  7. 5. Towards Dense Air Quality Monitoring : Time-Dependent Statistical Gas Distribution Modelling and Sensor Planning

    Author : Sahar Asadi; Achim Lilienthal; Amy Loutfi; Dominque Martinez; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mobile robot olfaction; time-dependent gas distribution modelling; temporal sub-sampling; sensor planning; artificial potential field; gas monitoring;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the problem of gas distribution modelling for gas monitoring and gas detection. The presented research is particularly focused on the methods that are suitable for uncontrolled environments. READ MORE
