  2. 1. Ventricular Long Axis Function: Amplitudes and Timings : Echocardiographic Studies in Health and Disease

    Author : Frederick Bukachi; Anders Waldenstrom; Derek Gibson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Echocardiography; Doppler Tissue Imaging; Ageing; coronary disease; left ventricular function; atrial contraction; electromechanical function; coronary angioplasty.; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : Background: The ageing process not only increases the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) but also complicates its diagnosis and treatment. It is therefore important to understand the newer concepts of cardiovascular ageing physiology as well as methods of predicting the outcomes of therapeutic options available for the elderly with severe CAD.

  4. 2. Generation and Organization of Behaviors for Autonomous Robots

    Author : Jimmy Pettersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : behavioral organization; evolutionary robotics; action selection; autonomous robots; utility function method;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the generation and organization of behaviors forautonomous robots is studied within the framework ofbehavior-based robotics (BBR).Several different behavioral architectures have been considered inapplications involving both bipedal and wheeled robots. READ MORE

  5. 3. Football on mobile phones : algorithms, architectures and quality of experience in streaming video

    Author : Jiong Sun; Haibo Li; Fernando Pereira; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Electrical engineering; Quality of Experience; Wyner-Ziv coding; Universal Multimedia Access; motion estimation; Dynamic Programming; traffic prediction; utility function; vibrotactile; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik; Electronics; elektronik;

    Abstract : In this thesis we study algorithms and architectures that can provide a better Quality of Experience (QoE) for streaming video systems and services. With cases and examples taken from the application scenarios of football on mobile phones, we address the fundamental problems behind streaming video services. READ MORE

  6. 4. A Novel Method for Adaptive Control of Manufacturing Equipment in Cloud Environments

    Author : Göran Adamson; Philip Moore; Lihui Wang; Robert Harrison; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Function Block; Adaptive control; Robot-Control-as-a-Service; Cloud Manufacturing; Production and Automation Engineering; Produktion och automatiseringsteknik;

    Abstract : The ability to adaptively control manufacturing equipment, both in local and distributed environments, is becoming increasingly more important for many manufacturing companies.One important reason for this is that manufacturing companies are facing increasing levels of changes, variations and uncertainty, caused by both internal and external factors, which can negatively impact their performance.

  7. 5. On Bayesian graphical model determination

    Author : Jukka Corander; Carlo Berzuini; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bayesian inference; Entropy; Exponential models; Graphical models; Logarithmic utility; Statistics; Statistik; statistik; Statistics;

    Abstract : A graphical model specifies a graph representation of the independence structure of a multivariate distribution, where nodes represent variables and edges association between variables.This thesis introduces methodology for determination of graphical models for multivariate distributions within the exponential family.
