Measurement of forces exerted by a human hand while performing common gestures is a highly valuable task for assessment of neurorehabilitation and neurological disorders, but also, for control of movement that could be directly transferred to assistive devices. Even though accurate and selective multi-joint measurement of hand forces is desirable in both clinical and research applications there is
The PANDA (anti-Proton ANnihiliation at DArmstadt) experiment will be one of the four flagship experiments at the new international accelerator complex FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) in Darmstadt, Germany. PANDA will address fundamental questions of hadron physics and quantum chromodynamics using high-intensity cooled antiproton beams with momenta between 1.5 and 15 GeV/c and a de
We analyze the downlink of a massive multiuser multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) system where antenna units at the base station are connected in a daisy chain without a central processing unit and only possess local channel knowledge. For this setup, we develop and analyze a linear precoding algorithm for suppressing interuser interference. It is demonstrated that the algorithm is close to ze
The need to study the effects of technology and science in development has been increasingly emphasized in recent years. At the same time, India and China have emerged on the world scene as large developing countries with rich, often contrasting, experiences of the application of technology and science to development. Comparative research on the Indian and Chinese experiences thus carries a great
With continued development of integrated and continuous downstream purification processes, tuning and optimization become increasingly complicated with additional parameters and codependent variables over the sequence. This article offers a novel perspective of nonlinear optimization of integrated sequences with regard to individual column sizes, flow rates, and scheduling. The problem setup itsel

We propose and study a fully efficient method to estimate associations of an exposure with disease incidence when both, incident cases and prevalent cases, i.e., individuals who were diagnosed with the disease at some prior time point and are alive at the time of sampling, are included in a case-control study. We extend the exponential tilting model for the relationship between exposure and case s
Recently, seven Earth-sized planets were discovered around the M-dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. Thanks to transit-timing variations, the masses and therefore the bulk densities of the planets have been constrained, suggesting that all TRAPPIST-1 planets are consistent with water mass fractions on the order of 10%. These water fractions, as well as the similar planet masses within the system, constitute st
An improved solution of the non-linear and ill-posed inverse problem of electro-cardiography is presented. The hearts activity is modeled by three di®erent equivalent cardiac sources: 1 moving dipole, 2 and 5 fixed location rotating dipoles. For this purpose a three dimensional volume conductor model of the human body is constructed based on a classical anatomic atlas. This is excited by each one
Modern age is the age of integration, where millions of electronic components are integrated and installed on a single chip, to minimize the size of device and automatically increases the speed. But, as a greater number of components are placed on a single device, reliability becomes a concern issue, as failure of one component can degrade the complete device. From dimmer to high voltage power tra
A new type of collector optics was developed for grazing incident x-ray emission spectrometer. The collector optics used two cylindrical mirrors to add two extra light paths while keeping the center light path that directly illuminates the grating. The design and properties of the spectrometer using the triple-path collector optics were evaluated using ray-tracing simulations, and validity of this
A novel method is introduced in this study to consider flexibility taking into account both system design and operation strategy by using fuzzy logic. A stochastic optimization algorithm is introduced to optimize the system design and operation strategy of the energy system while considering the flexibility. GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)-accelerated computing is introduced to speed up the computa
Neuropeptide Y was isolated in 1982 and has since attracted considerable interest. It is widely distributed in central and peripheral neurones and can produce a multitude of biological effects in the brain and the periphery. For example, the peptide has been associated with stimulation of food and water intake, control of mood, and regulation of central autonomic functions. In the periphery, sympa
We propose to use two-body regularized finite-range pseudopotential to generate nuclear energy density functional (EDF) in both particle-hole and particle-particle channels, which makes it free from self-interaction and self-pairing, and also free from singularities when used beyond mean field. We derive a sequence of pseudopotentials regularized up to next-to-leading order and next-to-next-to-lea
En signal är en fysisk kvantitet som varierar med någon oberoende variabel, t.ex. tid eller rum, som förmedlar information. En signal vars statistiska egenskaper är konstant i tid kallas stationär, medan signaler vars egenskaper varierar med tiden kallas icke-stationära, vilket är de vanligaste i naturen. Denna avhandling fokuserar på statistiska metoder för icke-stationära signaler. De applikatioThis thesis focuses on statistical methods for non-stationary signals. The methods considered or developed address problems of stochastic modeling, inference, spectral analysis, time-frequency analysis, and deep learning for classification. In all the contributions, an example of a biomedical application of the proposed method is provided, either to electroencephalography (EEG) data or to Heart Ra
