A method for Identification of Putatively Co-regulated Genes (Computer/Biomedical Project)
The genomes of several organisms have been sequenced and the need for methods to analyse the data is growing. In this project a method is described that tries to identify co-regulated genes. The method identifies Continue reading
Semi-Automatic Translation of Medical Terms from English to Swedish: SNOMED CT in Translation (Computer/Biomedical Project)
The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare has been overseeing translations of the international clinical terminology SNOMED CT from English to Swedish. This study was performed to find whether semi-automatic methods of translation could produce a satisfactory translation while requiring Continue reading
Development of Database Support for Production of Doubled Haploids (Computer/Biomedical Project)
In this project relational and Lotus Notes database technology are evaluated with regard to their suitability in providing computer-based support in plant breeding in general and specifically in the production of doubled haploids. The two developed databases are compared based on Continue reading
Modeling of the arterial system with an AVD implanted (Electrical/Biomedical Project)
The number of patients that are waiting for heart transplants far exceed the number of available donor hearts. Left Ventricular Assist Devices are mechanical alternatives that can help and are helping several patients. They work by taking blood from the left Continue reading
CCASENSE: Canonical Correlation Analysis for Estimation of Sensitivity Maps for Fast MRI (Biomedical Project)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is an established technology for both imaging and functional studies in clinical and research environments. The field is still very Continue reading
Adipose tissue segmentation in whole-body MRI (Biomedical Project)
Adipose tissue volume and distribution is related to metabolic diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis. This relationship is Continue reading
Implementing a visualization tool for Myocardial Strain Tensors (Biomedical Project)
The heart is a complex three-dimensional structure with mechanical properties that are inhomogeneous, non-linear, time-variant and anisotropic. These properties affect major physiological factors within the heart, such as Continue reading
Segmentation of the Brain from MR Images (Biomedical Project)
KTH, Division of Neuronic Engineering, have a finite element model of the head. However, this model does not contain detailed modeling of the brain. This project consists of finding a method to extract brain tissues from Continue reading
Wireless ECG (Electronics/Biomedical Project)
This document contains the development of an amplifier for an ECG-signal and interfacing it to wireless communication. The purpose of this project is to get a clear ECG-signal without any noise, save it and send it through wireless communication.A challenge of Continue reading
101 Independent Projects for Applied Microbiology (Biomedical Projects)
In the project “101″ Independent Projects for Applied Microbiology, 5 specific components have been developed. Each component is Continue reading
Computational methods to improve Genome Assembly and Gene Prediction (Computer Project)
DNA sequencing is used to read the nucleotides composing the genetic material that forms individual organisms. As IInd generation sequencing technologies offering high throughput at a feasible cost have matured, sequencing has permeated nearly Continue reading
The Role of DAP-Kinase in Modulating Vascular Endothelial Cell Function Under Fluid Shear Stress (Biomedical Project)
Atherosclerosis preferentially develops in vascular regions of low or disturbed flow and high spatial gradients. Endothelial cells that line the vessel walls actively participate in translating mechanical stimuli, shear stress due to fluid flow, into intracellular signals to regulate cellular activities. Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease. During its development, Continue reading
Biometric Fingerprint Identification (Electronics Project)
Identification of individuals is a very basic societal requirement. Electronic verification of a person’s identity is of great importance as more interactions take place electronically. Biometric fingerprint identification is a technique used to change the Continue reading
Preparation and Evaluation of Antibacterial Dental Glass-ionomer Cements (Biomedical Project)
The functional quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) and their constructed polyQAS or PQAS were synthesized, characterized and formulated into a novel antibacterial glass-ionomer cement. Compressive strength (CS) and Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) viability were used to evaluate the mechanical strength and antibacterial activity of the cements. Fuji II LC cement was used as control. The specimens were conditioned in Continue reading
Scalable and QoS Networking Solutions for Telemedicine (Netwoking/Biomedical Project)
Retrieving data from a patient in real-time is a challenging operation, especially when requiring information from the network to support the patient’s health. A real-time healthcare system process is conducted with a continual input, processing, and Continue reading
Signaling Pathways Involved in Mechanical Stimulation and ECM Geometry in Bone Cells (Biomedical Project)
The proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts are influenced by mechanical and geometrical growth environments. A specific aim of this thesis was the elucidation of signaling pathways involved in mechanical stimulation and geometric alterations of the extracellular Continue reading
Biomechanics of the Intervertebral Disc: The Effects of Load History on Mechanical Behavior (Mechanical Project)
Degenerative disc disease is associated with back pain, and can be a debilitating disorder. In addition to the biological contributions of genetics and aging, mechanical factors have been implicated in accelerating the progression of disc degeneration.
Two studies were performed in order to explore the effects of various loading conditions on disc biomechanics. The first study explores the effects of compressive historical loads and disc hydration on Continue reading
Ultrasound Imaging: Signal Acquisition – New Advanced Processing for Biomedical and Industrial Applications (ECE/Biomedical Project)
Use of ultrasound, namely in the biomedical diagnosis and industrial fields, pioneered in 1950s, is today particularly widespread. In the last decades, ultrasound imaging has benefited from advances in numerical technologies such as signal processing. On the other hand, the use of ultrasound imaging has increased the need for signal processing techniques.
This paper presents a review and the up-to-date developments in ultrasound imaging techniques, including Continue reading
Plaque Identification using Automated Image Enhancement
Image enhancement is a task of applying certain transformations to an original image for obtaining output image visually more pleasant, more detailed, or less noisy. The transformation usually requires interpretation and feedback from a human evaluator for the output result image. In this project we introduce automatic image enhancement techniques which are helpful in Continue reading
