Hyperspectral remote sensing images contain hundreds of data channels. Due to the high dimensionality of the hyperspectral data, it is difficult to design accurate and efficient image segmentation algorithms for such imagery. In this paper, a new ...

Bakgrunnur: Þegar sami einstaklingur þjáist af tveimur eða fleirum langvinnum sjúkdómum er það kallað fjölveikindi (e.multimorbidity). Á undanförnum árum hefur rannsóknum á fjölveikindum fleygt fram og algengi þeirra verið metið svo mikið að fjölveikindi ...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and its sequelae are growing health problems. We performed a genome-wide association study of NAFL, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, and integrated the findings with expression and proteomic data. For NAFL, we ...

This work investigates the multivalent and dynamic portrayal of time in a selection of early Old Icelandic texts from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The main objective is to map out the representations of time in terms of the patterns conveyed, ...

In this thesis, two methods for automatic enumeration of permutation classes are studied. The first method extends on the theory of combinatorial exploration. We review how combinatorial exploration works as a two phases process: the first phase ...

Both short and long sleep are associated with an adverse lipid profile, likely through different biological pathways. To elucidate the biology of sleep-associated adverse lipid profile, we conduct multi-ancestry genome-wide sleep-SNP interaction analyses ...

In order to minimize the number of evaluations of high-fidelity (fine) model in the optimization process, to increase the optimization speed, and to improve optimal solution accuracy, a robust and computational-efficient multi-fidelity local surrogate-model ...

To improve the performance of land-cover change detection (LCCD) using remote sensing images, this study utilises spatial information in an adaptive and multi-scale manner. It proposes a novel multi-scale object histogram distance (MOHD) to measure the ...

In this paper, we examine the relationship between housing prices and municipal amalgamations. Due to consumer preference for access over amenity value, there is a spatial disparity of housing prices, refiecting the value of land in specific locations. ...

Background: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is characterised by recurring episodes of acute inflammation, with joint swelling in one or more joints, often accompanied by pain. These episodes can now be controlled better than in the past because of a new ...
