  1. 1. Typhoon Disaster Response amid the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Study of Successive Typhoons in The Philippines in 2020

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Lia Anne Gonzalo Ladera; Auria Tiemroth; [2021]
    Keywords : Disaster response; Typhoons; Compound risks; COVID-19; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to analyze how typhoon response operations in the Philippines were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This multi-hazard scenario is not a singular case, many places around the world have been exposed to similar dilemmas of natural hazards occurring simultaneously as the pandemic. READ MORE

  3. 2. Developing a spiking neural model of Long Short-Term Memory architectures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

    Author : Isabella Pozzi; [2018]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Current advances in Deep Learning have shown significant improvements in common Machine Learning applications such as image, speech and text recognition. Specifically, in order to process time series, deep Neural Networks (NNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units are widely used in sequence recognition problems to store recent information and to use it for future predictions.

  4. 3. On the Modelling of Kainate Receptor Channels

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Tahar Etienne Nabil; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Kainate receptor channels are a class of ion channels found on the membrane of nerve cells. These proteins play a key role in the brain, since their properties regulate the strength of the synapses. READ MORE

  5. 4. Analysing a bistable switch in systems biology with stochastic simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Patrik Fortes; [2013]
    Keywords : stochastic simulations; Systems biology; biological switch; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : We analyse biological switches with the aid of computers and the Gillespie method, a stochastic solver. Stochastic calculations can lead to spontaneous switches which are, in part, determined by a subset of the parameters. In a deterministic description this is hidden. READ MORE

  6. 5. Robustness Analysis of MAPK Signaling Cascades

    University essay from KTH/Reglerteknik

    Author : Vladislav Nenchev; [2009]
    Keywords : robustness analysis; robustification; bistability; MAPK; biochemical;

    Abstract : The MAPK cascade is responsible for transmitting information in the cytoplasm of the cell and regulating important fate decisions like cell division and apoptosis. Due to scarce experimental data and limited knowledge about many complex biochemical processes, existing MAPK pathway models, which exhibit bistability, have a significant structural uncertainty.
