  1. 1. Investigation of Injury Predictors for Rat Neuro Trauma

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Rosetta Maglio; [2024]
    Keywords : Finite element method; Rat brain traumatic brain injury; Rat brain finite element model; Strain; Strain rate; Product of strain and strain rate; Rotational direction; Rotational duration; Injury prediction; Finita elementmetoden; Råtthjärnans finita elementmodell; Belastning; Belastningshastighet; Produkten av belastning och belastningshastighet; Rotationsriktning; Rotationstid; Skadeförutsägelse;

    Abstract : A traumatic brain injury is usually caused by a direct impact to the head and is a common cause of disability and death all around the world. The most effective method to predict brain injury today, is to use a finite element head model. READ MORE

  2. 2. Predicting True Sepsis and Culture-positive Sepsis in Intensive Care Unit with Machine Learning Techniques

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Zeyuan Wu; [2024]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Diagnosis of Sepsis; XGBoost; Logistic Regression; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Sepsis, a serious medical condition often leading to patients requiring intensive care, has prompted numerous scientists to employ mathematical techniques to aid in its diagnosis. This thesis uses logistic regression and a machine learning technique, XGBoost, to predict true sepsis (as opposed to sepsis mimics) and culture-positive sepsis (among true sepsis) in critical care using blood test results, physiological measurements and other patient characteristics.

  3. 3. Shifting focus from yields to food supply : an evaluation of the ‘number of people fed per hectare’ indicator at farm and national level

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Ida Ekqvist; [2024]
    Keywords : Land use efficiency; Sustainability indicators; Agricultural productivity; Food production;

    Abstract : The challenge of feeding a growing global population while reducing the pressure on climate and ecosystems has gained much attention in research over the last decades. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect in research addressing this complex challenge is the efficiency of food production in meeting nutritional needs within the constraints of global cropland resources.

  4. 4. Navigating the Waves of Conservation: Spatiotemporal Patterns in Harbour Porpoise Strandings in Swedish Waters

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Vigge Ulfsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Strandings; spatiotemporal patterns; harbour porpoise;

    Abstract : Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are the only cetacean residents found year-round in Swedish waters. Since in situ monitoring of cetaceans can be difficult, invasive and often costly, strandings can be used as a cost-effective alternative to continuously collect data on these elusive animals.

  5. 5. Prediction of multiple conformational states of membrane proteins

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Bioinformatik

    Author : Tobias Thorén; [2024]
    Keywords : Bioinformatics; Protein prediction; AlphaFold;

    Abstract : Predicting protein structures has long been an area of active research in the field ofbioinformatics. Great strides have recently been made in this area by googles DeepMindteam. They developed an AI called AlphaFold which is able to make the most accuratepredictions of protein structures as of date. READ MORE
