  4. 17. 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

  5. 18. Modelling spatial and temporal species distribution in the Baltic Sea phytobenthic zone

    Author : Antonia Nyström Sandman; Hans Kautsky; Martin Isaeus; Georg Martin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; species distribution modelling; niche; gradient; prediction; environmental factors; phytobenthos; scale; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Abstract : Statistical modelling is often used to relate the presence or abundance of species to environmental predictors, thereby providing a basis for predictive mapping of species or biodiversity. The variables included must thus be relevant and reflect actual changes in the environment. READ MORE

  6. 19. Statistical gas distribution modelling for mobile robot applications

    Author : Matteo Reggente; Achim Lilienthal; Krishna Persaud; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; statistical modelling; gas distribution mapping; mobile robots; gas sensors; kernel density estimation; Gaussian kernel; Datavetenskap; Computer Science;

    Abstract : In this dissertation, we present and evaluate algorithms for statistical gas distribution modelling in mobile robot applications. We derive a representation of the gas distribution in natural environments using gas measurements collected with mobile robots. READ MORE

  7. 20. Cardiovascular risk factors in Cochabamba, Bolivia : estimating its distribution and assessing social inequalities

    Author : Yercin Mamani-Ortiz; Paola Mosquera; Miguel San Sebastian; Isabel Goicolea; Patrik Wennberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Background: The increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) is considered one of the most important public health problems worldwide and especially in Latin American (LA) countries. Although the systematic surveillance of chronic diseases and their risk factors has been recommended, Bolivia has not yet implemented a national strategy to collect and monitor CVRF information.
