Modern technology has provided people with ease of living but at the same time has given birth to the problems of equally modern nature. For instance, high reliance on private transportation has resulted in unintended consequences such as high level of air pollution and congestion in urban cities. Another main disadvantage that is often overlooked is related to the rise of several noncommunicable ...

The multiple signal classification algorithm (MUSICAL) is a statistical super-resolution technique for wide-field fluorescence microscopy. Although MUSICAL has several advantages, such as its high resolution, its low computational performance has limited its exploitation. This paper aims to analyze the performance and scalability of MUSICAL for improving its low computational performance. We first ...

Patients with diabetes are often worried about having low blood glucose because of the unpleasant feeling and possible dangerous situations this can lead to. This can make patients consume more carbohydrates than necessary. Ad-hoc carbohydrate estimation and dosing by the patients can be unreliable and may produce unwanted periods of high blood glucose. In this paper we present a system that ...

An employee in an academic position has to do at least three different tasks: research, teaching and research dissemination. In addition come administrative duties. These tasks draw on different skills that all should be documented in an application for an academic position. Unfortunately, only a minority is writing their applications so that their total competence is documented. A good application ...

Making green transport choices are more important than ever to save the environment. To accomplish this there must be a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. How to make people choose green transportation, when it is inconvenient, is an interesting challenge. Most would rather take the easy way out to avoid the extra planning and estimation of how to reach their destination. ...

Recent advancements in human-robot interaction have led to tremendous improvement for humanoid robots but still lacks social acceptance among people. Though verbal communication is the primary means of human-robot interaction, non-verbal communication that is proven to be an integral part of the human interactions is not widely used in humanoid robots. This thesis aims to achieve human-robot interaction ...

Artificial intelligence is currently a hot topic in medicine. However, medical data is often sparse and hard to obtain due to legal restrictions and lack of medical personnel for the cumbersome and tedious process to manually label training data. These constraints make it difficult to develop systems for automatic analysis, like detecting disease or other lesions. In this respect, this article ...

Meibomian gland dysfunction is the most common cause of dry eye disease and leads to significantly reduced quality of life and social burdens. Because meibomian gland dysfunction results in impaired function of the tear film lipid layer, studying the expression of tear proteins might increase the understanding of the etiology of the condition. Machine learning is able to detect patterns in ...

Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) uses high-frequency acoustic waves to generate non-ionizing, label-free images of the surface and internal structures of industrial objects and biological specimens. The resolution of SAM images is limited by several factors such as the frequency of excitation signals, the signal-to-noise ratio, and the pixel size. We propose to use a hypergraphs image inpainting ...

Integrative multi-species prediction (IMP) is an interactive web server that enables molecular biologists to interpret experimental results and to generate hypotheses in the context of a large cross-organism compendium of functional predictions and networks. The system provides a framework for biologists to analyze their candidate gene sets in the context of functional networks, as they expand or ...
