2. 16. Initialization Methods for System Identification

   Author : Christian Lyzell; Lennart Ljung; Martin Enqvist; Magnus Jansson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; System identification; Initialization methods; Regressor selection; Identifiability; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

   Abstract : In the system identification community a popular framework for the problem of estimating a parametrized model structure given a sequence of input and output pairs is given by the prediction-error method. This method tries to find the parameters which maximize the prediction capability of the corresponding model via the minimization of some chosen cost function that depends on the prediction error.

4. 17. Self-Control and Altruism

   Author : Conny Wollbrant; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Self-Control; Temptation; Game Theory; Experiment; Pro-Social Behavior; Conditional Cooperation; Altruism; Public Goods; Trust; Risk;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of two theoretical papers on self-control (Chapters 1-2) and four empirical papers (3-6) of which two (Chapter 5 and 6) explore determinants of pro-social behavior, while the other two (Chapters 3-4) examine the relationship between self-control and prosocial behavior.

5. 18. On Trajectory Generation for Robots

   Author : Mahdi Ghazaei; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Haptic Interface; Fixed-Time Point-to-Point Trajectory Generation; Online Trajectory Generation; Dynamic Simulation and Optimization; Dynamics with Varying Contacts; Iterative Learning Control;

   Abstract : A fundamental problem in robotics is the generation of motion for a task. How to translate a task to a set of movements is a non-trivial problem. READ MORE

6. 19. Data Filtering and Control Design for Mobile Robots

   Author : Maja Karasalo; Xiaoming Hu; John Baras; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; formation control; tracking; nonlinear control; optimal smoothing; adaptive filtering; Optimization; systems theory; Optimeringslära; systemteori;

   Abstract : In this thesis, we consider problems connected to navigation and tracking for autonomousrobots under the assumption of constraints on sensors and kinematics. We study formation controlas well as techniques for filtering and smoothing of noise contaminated input. The scientific contributions of the thesis comprise five papers. READ MORE

7. 20. Improving care for patients with non-cardiac chest pain : Description of psychological distress and costs, and evaluation of an Internet-delivered intervention

   Author : Ghassan Mourad; Tiny Jaarsma; Anna Strömberg; Siv Söderberg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac anxiety; cognitive behavioural therapy; depressive symptoms; direct cost; fear of body sensations; healthcare utilization; hospital care; indirect cost; Internet-delivered; ischemic heart disease; non-cardiac chest pain; primary care; randomized controlled study; societal cost;

   Abstract : Introduction: More than half of all patients seeking care for chest pain do not have a cardiac cause for this pain. Despite recurrent episodes of chest pain, many patients are discharged without a clear explanation of the cause for their pain. READ MORE
