  1. 1. Risk assessment of non-intentionally added substances in polyester yarn made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET)

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Kristina Arnqvist; [2023]
    Keywords : r-PET; polyester yarn; NIAS; risk assessment;

    Abstract : Polyester is a synthetic material made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is synthesised from fossil raw materials. Many clothing manufacturers are using polyester in their clothing, which, from an environmental perspective, creates a non-sustainable cycle. READ MORE

  3. 2. A Machine Learning Approach to Skin Cancer Delineation on Photoacoustic Imaging

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

    Keywords : Skin cancer; carcinoma; photoacoustic imaging; ultrasound imaging; machine learning; dimensionality reduction; sandpiles algorithm; active contour; multilayer perception MLP ; convolutional neural networks CNN ; autoencoder; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Skin cancer is a growing public health concern due to its prevalence among the population. Current clinical procedures require high invasiveness and multiple surgeries, which are responsible for patient discomfort and high medical expenses. READ MORE

  4. 3. Stress response in cancer cell lines

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Nada Ali; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Globally, the cases of cancer have been on the rise. This has led to increasing research to find a lasting solution to carcinogenesis. The increase in cancer cases can be due to a change in people’s lifestyles, such as diet and exercise routines which have changed for the worse. READ MORE

  5. 4. Spatiotemporal PET reconstruction with Learned Registration

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Pierre Meyrat; [2022]
    Keywords : PET; Tomographic reconstruction; Deep Learning; MLEM; PET; Tomografisk rekonstruktion; Deep Learning; MLEM;

    Abstract : Because of the long acquisition time of Positron Emission Tomography scanners, the reconstructed images are blurred by motion. We hereby propose a novel motion-correction maximum-likelihood expectation-maximization algorithm integrating 3D movements between the different gates estimated by a neural network trained on synthetic data with contrast invariance.

  6. 5. Life Cycle Assessment of a small scale, solar driven HVR water purification system

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Sharang Kolathur; [2022]
    Keywords : life cycle assessment; air gap membrane distillation; solar energy; levelized cost; grid operated system; livscykelanalys; luftgapmembrandestillation; solenergi; utjämnade kostnader; nätdrivet system;

    Abstract : Water purification systems have made access to drinking water easier by treating water sources which previously could not be used for drinking. Such systems however require energy and materials to build and operate which means they have environmental impacts. READ MORE
