In this Master thesis, different multitaper methods are implemented to estimate the spectra of respiratory signals and HRV data, and further to estimate the correlation between the respiratory center frequency and the narrow-banded high frequency band of HRV power. The methods are applied first on ARMA-process data, then on the integrated pulse frequency modulation (IPFM) data simulations, where t
This thesis focuses on the question whether the volatility index of the Swiss Market Index (VSMI) is an adequate predictor of the future realized volatility. Furthermore, the thesis searches for evidence of incremental information within the VSMI in relation to a set of model based forecasts (MBFs) which could describe future realized volatility. First a theoretical framework, corresponding to the
Phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P NMR) is a non-invasive technique for determining concentrations of intracellular metabolites linked to energy metabolism of human tissues. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are found in most tis-sues, while tissue specific metabolites such as creatine phosphate (PCr) and metabolites linked to lipid metabolism can be observed i
We studied clinical performance of serum TRACP 5b and other bone turnover markers, including S-CTX, U-DPD, S-PINP, S-BALP, and S-OC, for monitoring alendronate treatment. TRACP 5b had higher clinical sensitivity, area under the ROC curve, and signal-to-noise ratio than the other markers. INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical performance of serum TRACP 5b (S-TRACP5b) w

The human placenta is a difficult tissue to work with using proteomic technology since it contains large amounts of lipids and glycogen. Both lipids and glycogen are known to interfere with the first step in the two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), the isoelectric focusing. In order to gain the best possible protein separation on 2D-PAGE, an optimized sample preparation pr
This anthropological study looks at theater improv as a social phenomena and how experienced theater improvisers explain the experience of theater improv when it is at its best. This study also relate theater improv to the anthropological tradition of performance research, the construction of narratives and navigation of self within the framework of the social structures of society. The study sho

Chelates with fluorescent lanthanides such as europium and terbium are widely used in immunofluorometric assays, e.g. for the measurement of different molecular forms of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in serum for detection and monitoring of prostate cancer. These chelates have also been introduced as non-radioactive labels in immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization. In the present study, s
Objective. This study proposes a novel technique for atrial fibrillatory waves (f-waves) extraction and investigates the performance of the proposed method comparing with different f-wave extraction methods. Approach. We propose a novel technique combining a periodic component analysis (PiCA) and echo state network (ESN) for f-waves extraction, denoted PiCA-ESN. PiCA-ESN benefits from the advantag
English Summary This master thesis concerns the lives of spouses to someone who is incurably sick and dying. The study took place in the homes of married couples where one of them is incurably sick with cancer. I have visited the couples talked with them and interviewed them, some together and some separately. This has made the empirical foundation for the present thesis. It becomes clear that th
This study determines the technical and economic feasibility of separating dye from a process filtrate in industrial textile recycling using electrocoagulation or sequences of membrane filtration with microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. The lower requirements for treating this stream, compared to previously researched dyehouse effluents, left treatments not good e

This thesis develops a general formalism for continuous feedback control in quantum systems. The main result is a quantum Fokker-Planck master equation describing the joint dynamics of a quantum system and a detector with finite bandwidth. For a fast detector, this equation can be reduced to a Markovian master equation for the system dynamics. In particular, the formalism is amenable to analyticalThis thesis devolops a general formalism for continuous feedback control in quantum systems.

Klimatet har varit relativt stabilt under den nuvarande interglaciala epoken (Holocen) som inleddes för ungefär 11 700 år sedan. Genom klimatrekonstruktioner från olika geologiska arkiv såsom iskärnor, sjösediment och torvmossar har det ändå påvisats att snabba förändringar i klimatet har inträffat under denna epok. En sådan tidsperiod inträffade för omkring 2800 år sedan och den är intressant ur Geological archives have shown periods of abrupt climate change in the relatively stable Holocene epoch (last ca. 11 700 years). One of these periods was around 2800 cal BP. Several records, mainly from Europe, reveal a shift towards wetter, cooler and windier conditions. There are, however, indications for a global extent of the climate change. The climate change coincides with a distinct increas
This multiple case study addresses the question concerning how multinational corporations handle their public affairs operations. In general, public affairs regard public private sector collaboration and include how companies can manage their governmental stakeholders. Nevertheless, is there a recipe for managing this more successfully? Public affairs have long been an issue for companies operatin
The present study addresses the problem of respiratory rate estimation from ECG-derived respiration (EDR) signals during paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Novel signal-to-noise ratios between various components of the ECG including the influence of respiration, measured by QRS ensemble variance, the amplitude of fibrillatory waves (f-waves), and the QRS amplitude are introduced to characterize

What should Iceland do? We arrive at the conclusion that a currency board with the euro as the reserve currency is the best choice.
