In recent years, technology has had a vast impact on the sports industry, particularly in soccer. Elite soccer teams utilize digital information systems to quantify performance metrics, in order to assess their strengths and weaknesses. Applied methods mostly rely on post-game analytics, allowing coaches to review games in retrospect and implement corrections to their team thereafter. However, this ...

CHIP-Seq data is critical for identifying the locations where proteins bind to DNA, offering valuable insights into disease molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. However, identifying regions of protein binding, or peaks, in CHIP-seq data can be challenging due to limitations in peak detection methods. Current computational tools often require manual human inspection using data ...

Persons with type 1 diabetes who use electronic self-help tools, most commonly blood glucose meters, record a large amount of data about their personal condition. Mobile phones are powerful and ubiquitous computers that have a potential for data analysis, and the purpose of this study is to explore how self-gathered data can help users improve their blood glucose management. Thirty patients with ...

Background: People with type 1 diabetes who use electronic self-help tools register a large amount of information about their disease on their participating devices; however, this information is rarely utilized beyond the immediate investigation. We have developed a diabetes diary for mobile phones and a statistics-based feedback module, which we have named Diastat, to give data-driven feedback ...

This deliverable reports our early energy models for data structures and algorithms based on both micro-benchmarks and concurrent algorithms. It reports the early results of Task 2.1 on investigating and modeling the trade-off between energy and performance in concurrent data structures and algorithms, which forms the basis for the whole work package 2 (WP2). The work has been ...

This thesis aims to study psychological effects and how to represent them digitally within a smart nudging system. A smart nudging system creates personalized digital nudges that are highly relevant to the user's context. How the system presents the nudges and what psychological effects are used is critical to influencing the user towards the nudging goal. The goal of the thesis is to find, implement ...

We present a technical description of the Movitz development platform for stand-alone applications on the x86 PC architecture.

Privacy and security require not only strong algorithms but also reliable and readily available sources of randomness. To tackle this problem, one of the causes of single-event upsets is the utilization of a non-deterministic entropy source, specifically ultra-high energy cosmic rays. An adapted prototype based on existing muon detection technology was used as the methodology during the experiment ...

We describe our experience with the Muithu sports notational analysis system, a novel digital information system in the popular sports domain. The system integrates real-time coach notations with related video sequences, and is configured with small, off-the shelf and cheap components. Muithu requires little or no human post-processing, which is in strong contrast to state-of-the art resource-intensive ...

Polyps in the colon are widely known cancer precursors identifed by colonoscopy. Whilst most polyps are benign, the polyp’s number, size and surface structure are linked to the risk of colon cancer. Several methods have been developed to automate polyp detection and segmentation. However, the main issue is that they are not tested rigorously on a large multicentre purpose-built dataset, one reason ...
