  1. 1. Image Quality Assessment Pipeline and Semi-Automated Annotation method for Synthetic Data

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Liam Le Tran; Edina Dedovic; [2023-10-24]
    Keywords : Facial Expression Recognition; FACS; Action Units; styleGAN2-ada; synthetic data; Image Quality Assessment; Multi-stage Pre-training; Pipeline Processing; Semi-automated Human Annotation;

    Abstract : Predicting human emotions through facial expression, particularly in relation to medication field such as clinical trial settings, has garnered scientific interest in recent years due to significant understanding of the impact of treatment on emotions and social functioning. This thesis aims to improve performance of a FER model using large scale of synthetic data. READ MORE

  3. 2. Hypoxia and hematopoietic stem cell control with the substance Adaptaquin : An evaluation of hematopoietic stem cell’s proliferation and differentiation in artificially induced hypoxia

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)

    Author : Jens Christiansen; [2023]
    Keywords : Adaptaquin; Flow cytometry; Hematopoietic stem cells; Hypoxia; Hypoxia inducible factor; Prolyl hydroxylase; Adaptaquin; Flödescytometri; Hematopoetiska stamceller; Hypoxi; Hypoxi inducerande faktor; Prolylhydroxylas;

    Abstract : Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have historically been difficult to maintain ex vivo with many attempts to culture them in vitro by mimicking their natural biological environment. Providing a hypoxic environment is one way to achieve this goal and can be performed by using hypoxia stimulating compounds that inhibits the degradation of HIF1a which plays an important role in regulating hypoxia.

  4. 3. Possible Bow Shock Current Closure to Earth's High Latitude Ionosphere on Open Field Lines

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Gabriella Nordin; [2023]
    Keywords : Space Physics; Bow Shock Current; Field-Aligned Currents; Open Field Lines;

    Abstract : The bow shock is formed due to the abrupt deceleration of the supersonic solar wind in front of the terrestrial magnetic field. The solar wind plasma and the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) are both compressed across the shock, and according to Ampère's law a current thus flows on the bow shock at all times. READ MORE

  5. 4. Facial Expression Recognition for Clinical Trial Self-recordings

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : CHARLOTTE VON NUMERS; [2022-06-22]
    Keywords : Facial Expression Recognition; FACS; Action Units; Subject-level Baseline; Multi-stage Pretraining;

    Abstract : Facial expressions have long been linked to human emotions, physiology, and behavior. Novel work suggests that clinical trial subject facial expression relates to self-reported quality of life. READ MORE

  6. 5. Identification of Immunological Targets for Brain Cancer Immunotherapy

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

    Author : Zhenda Wang; [2022]
    Keywords : Cancer immunotherapy; brain cancer; neoantigen; MHC HLA; TCR;

    Abstract : Background Cancer immunotherapy has yielded many successes. Yet to some hard-to-treat brain tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), it still lacks substantial improvement. Neoantigens resulting from mutations in malignant cells are the key targets for employing adoptive cell therapies. READ MORE
