  1. 1. A comparison of different machine learning algorithms applied to hyperspectral data analysis

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Axel Vikström; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hyperspectral image analysis works with image data where each pixel contains hundreds of wavelengths acquired from spectral measurements. It is a growing field of research in the sciences and industries because it can distinguish visually similar objects. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of pretreatment methods for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded extrapulmonary tuberculosis tissue : Improvement of lab developed molecular diagnostics of Mycobacterium-complex

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Anna-Sara Schultz; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Tuberculosis (TB) disease is a world-wide spread disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which affects a significant percentage of the world population. The disease is often localized in the lungs, but can further develop and spread to other organs and is then called extrapulmonary TB (EPTB). READ MORE

  4. 3. Segmentation and Prediction of Mutation Status of Malignant Melanoma Whole-slide Images using Deep Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Elin Johansson; Fanny Månefjord; [2021]
    Keywords : deep learning; image analysis; malignant melanoma; tissue segmentation; mutation classification; Inception v3; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Malignant melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer. Gene mutations can make the disease progress faster, but specialised treatment exists. Today, gene mutations are detected with DNA-analysis which is costly and time-consuming. READ MORE

    Abstract : Introduction Nigeria has the highest malaria burden worldwide. The 2010 and 2015 Nigeria Malaria Indicator Surveys (NMIS) suggest an improvement in malaria indicators, with the North West zone lagging behind. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effectiveness of mass drug administration for reducing seasonal malaria transmission towards its elimination in hotspot areas in Zanzibar

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Hassina Abdullahi Hashi; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Following the increase of international funding for implementation of the combined effective malaria control strategies for prevention, diagnosis and treatment in the past decades, a significant reduction with 30% of malaria attributed morbidity and mortality has been achieved. At present, declining transmission intensities, in areas of successful malaria control, have resulted in a relative increase of asymptomatic low parasite density infections that fall below the detection level of rapid diagnostic tests and microscopy.
