  1. 1. Optical Communication using Nanowires and Molecular Memory Systems

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

    Author : Thomas Kjellberg Jensen; [2024]
    Keywords : neuromorphic computing; nanowire; molecular dye; DASA photoswitch; OBIC; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Neuromorphic computational networks, inspired by biological neural networks, provide a possible way of lowering computational energy cost, while at the same time allowing for much more sophisticated devices capable of real-time inferences and learning. Since simulating artificial neural networks on conventional computers is particularly inefficient, the development of neuromorphic devices is strongly motivated as the reliance on AI-models increases.

  2. 2. Wireless Sensor Network for Controlling the Varroasis Spread within Bee colonies across a Geographical Region

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Venkat Sai Akhil Dasyam; Saketh Pokuri; [2024]
    Keywords : Wireless Sensor Networks; Monitoring and Control; Precision Beekeeping; Disease spread; Internet of Things.;

    Abstract : Background: With the global decline of honey bee populations, safeguarding these vital pollinators has become crucial. Varroa destructor mites are a primary threat, weakening bees and facilitating the spread of diseases, which can decimate colonies and disrupt ecosystems. READ MORE

  3. 3. Meadowscape : Bring health to ecological systems through actions in the agricultural landscape

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Arkitekthögskolan vid Umeå universitet

    Author : Anna Östlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Actor-network theory; landscape ecology; agriculture; artifacts; patterns;

    Abstract : The physical landscape is a patchwork of different physical and immaterial structures and networks built up through time, where nature and culture cooperate in processes of shaping the landscape. Since the first settlers in Sweden the grass meadow has taken a central part in the agricultural practices, but today little of this landscape remains. READ MORE

  4. 4. Combining Cell Painting, Gene Expression and Structure-Activity Data for Mechanism of Action Prediction

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nationellt resurscentrum för biologi och bioteknik

    Author : Erik Everett Palm; [2023]
    Keywords : bioinformatics; deep learning; machine learning; joint model; tabular data; image data;

    Abstract : The rapid progress in high-throughput omics methods and high-resolution morphological profiling, coupled with the significant advances in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), has opened new avenues for tackling the notoriously difficult problem of predicting the Mechanism of Action (MoA) for a drug of clinical interest. Understanding a drug's MoA can enrich our knowledge of its biological activity, shed light on potential side effects, and serve as a predictor of clinical success. READ MORE

  5. 5. A Machine Learning Approach on Analysis of Emission Spectra for Application in XFEL Experiments

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Harald Agelii; [2023]
    Keywords : Structural biology; Machine learning; Neural networks; emission spectrum; XFEL; X-ray free electron laser; SFX; Serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography; Proteins; Diagnostics;

    Abstract : In this thesis we investigate two potential applications of machine learning in the context of X-ray imaging and spectroscopy of biological samples, particularly such using X-ray free electron lasers (XFEL). We first investigate the possibility of using an emission spectrum, recorded from a sample after being probed by an incident X-ray, as a diagnostic tool. READ MORE
