3. 2. High-variance multivariate time series forecasting using machine learning

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informatik och media

   Author : Nikola Katardjiev; [2018]
   Keywords : Data science; alcohol abuse; time series; forecastin; machine learning; deep learning; neural networks; regression; Data science; alkoholmissbruk; tidsserieanalys; prognos; maskininlärning; deep learning; neurala nätverk; regression;

   Abstract : There are several tools and models found in machine learning that can be used to forecast a certain time series; however, it is not always clear which model is appropriate for selection, as different models are suited for different types of data, and domain-specific transformations and considerations are usually required. This research aims to examine the issue by modeling four types of machine- and deep learning algorithms - support vector machine, random forest, feed-forward neural network, and a LSTM neural network - on a high-variance, multivariate time series to forecast trend changes one time step in the future, accounting for lag.

5. 4. Dependence-induced changes in opioid-receptor gene expression

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Anna Johansson; [2013]
   Keywords : Neuropeptides; Alcohol; Gene expression; C57 BL6 mice model; Addiction; VTA; Opioid Receptors; Reward; Quantitative RT-PCR; neoropeptider; gene expression; real tids-PCR;

   Abstract : Using drugs such as alcohol and morphine among others can be addictive in some individuals, and progress into a substance abuse disorder. The mesolimbic dopaminergic system (MD-system) is involved in the reward process during the development of drug addiction. READ MORE

6. 5. Effect of voluntary exercise on BDNF/TrkB gene expression and alcohol intake.

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Josefine Jonsson; [2012]
   Keywords : Alcohol addiction; BDNF; C57BL 6 mice; Forced swim test; Gene expression; Neurotrophins; TrkB; Voluntary wheel exercise;

   Abstract : Voluntary wheel running is rewarding and believed to activate the same brain reward system as in alcohol and drug addiction. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a well-known growth factor widely expressed in the brain, is modulated by both voluntary exercise and alcohol consumption. READ MORE
