  1. 1. Towards an open, automated, and reproducible synthetic population of Switzerland : A preparatory, modular pipeline for agent-based mobility simulations

    University essay from KTH/Transport och systemanalys

    Author : David Micallef; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the development of an automated re-synthesising tool, called EasySynth, to generate a Swiss synthetic population and travel diaries from publicly available data. The aim is to overcome the limitations of restricted-access real population data while maintaining control over anonymisation and statistical accuracy. READ MORE

  3. 2. Comparison of direct Fick's principle and thermodilution for calculating cardiac output in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.Does the assessment of cardiac index and pulmonary vascular resistance differ depending on which method is chosen?

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Gabriella Persson; [2023]
    Keywords : Pulmonary arterial hypertension; cardiac output; direct Fick´s principle; thermodilution;

    Abstract : Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an uncommon but serious disease that causes increased pressure in the pulmonary vessels and increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), which in turn leads to right heart failure. At diagnosis, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) must be >20 mmHg, pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤15 mmHg and PVR >2 Wood units (WU). READ MORE

  4. 3. Uncertainties in the use of synthetic CT (sCT) for daily online adaptive radiotherapy for lung cancer

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

    Author : Johansson Vivika; [2023]
    Keywords : Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background and purpose: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) based online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) has been clinically implemented for several anatomical sites worldwide. However, random and abrupt anatomical changes with large density alterations can occur in lung patients, leading to uncertainties with synthetic computed tomography (sCT) and dose calculation.

  5. 4. Evolutionary Properties of Neural Networks: Exploration of Robustness and Evolvability in the Genotype-Phenotype Map

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Daesung Cho; [2022]
    Keywords : robustness; evolvability; genotype-phenotype map; canalization; Bayesian inference; simulation-based inference; information theory; neural networks; pyloric rhythm; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Evolution is a fundamental and crucial part of life that hinges on two central properties: robustness and evolvability. Robustness is required to maintain essential traits despite mutations while evolvability produces novel traits that might prove beneficial in survival. READ MORE

  6. 5. Finite Element Modeling of Installation Effects of Soil-Cement Columns

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Anne Holtmeier; [2022]
    Keywords : Deep Mixing; Soil Stabilization; Installation; Finite Element Method; PLAXIS;

    Abstract : Since the 1970's deep mixing columns have been widely used all over the world to improve the performance of soft soil in regard to bearing capacity or deformation behaviour. They are installed by mixing a binding agent, e.g. cement, in situ with the soil. READ MORE
