En genomgående trend i alla företag och industrier är att deras förmåga att producera data växer fortare än deras förmåga att lagra den, och detta gäller även hos CellaVision som producerar mikroskopiska blodcellsbilder. Lösningen är att komprimera bilderna med konsekvensen att viss information förloras. Vi har använt oss av djupinlärnings-metoder för att rekonstruera den försvunna datan i bildernThis thesis investigates the use of convolutional neural networks as a reconstruction or JPEG- deblocking model for JPEG-compressed blood cell images, needed due to the well known block artifacts caused by JPEG-compression. CellaVision develops automated microscopy for blood analysis that detects and classifies blood cells from images. The automated analysis is carried out on high resolu- tion mic

China’s rapid economic development has led to a continuously increasing energy demand and the country is the world’s biggest energy user as of today. The country accounts for around 23% of the global energy production, but 70% of the Chinese energy is generated with coal power and China is the biggest emitter of CO2 in the world. The Chinese government has set a couple of goals to reduce the count

Det centrala för denna uppsats är att ur ett borgenärsinriktat perspektiv utreda två alternativ för rekonstruktion av företag; företagsrekonstruktion genom FrekL och rekonstruktion genom konkurs. FrekL är en tämligen ny lag i den svenska insolvensrätten. Tidigare rekonstruktioner av företag skedde så gott som alltid genom konkurs, även om AckL fanns som alternativ. FrekL var bland annat tänkt likThe main issue in this essay is from a creditors perspective. Analysis will cover two alternatives for the reorganization of companies: First, the Swedish correspondence, “FrekL,” to the American Chapter 11 and, second, reorganization through bankruptcy. FrekL is a fairly new law within the Swedish insolvency law. Earlier reorganization of companies were almost always made through bankruptcy, ev

Educational reforms including community-based educational initiatives maintain crucial roles in the processes of democratization in the Middle East. The patterns of reform are diverse and reflect domestic factors as well as varying linkages to global forces. Among the factors driving and defining the effects of reform we find: 1. Socio-economic development;2. Growth of the civil society;3. New modEducational reforms including community-based educational initiatives maintain crucial roles in the processes of democratization in the Middle East.

Background: Although transposition of the great arteries (TGA) accounts for less than 5% of congenital heart disease, the clinical course is often dramatic with need for early diagnosis and careful preoperative care as well as advanced surgical correction and postoperative support. Since 1993, Lund is one of the two tertiary referral centers for pediatric cardiac surgery in Sweden, with nearly 400

Recent studies demonstrate that Black Carbon (BC) pollution in economically developing megacities remain higher than the values, which the World Health Organization considers to be safe. Despite the scientific evidence of the degrees of BC exposure, there is still a lack of understanding on how the severe levels of BC pollution affect human health in these regions. We consider information on the r

A single-molecule detection setup based on total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy has been used to investigate association and dissociation kinetics of unlabeled 30mer DNA strands. Single-molecule sensitivity was accomplished by letting unlabeled DNA target strands mediate the binding of DNA-modified and fluorescently labeled liposomes to a DNA-modified surface. The liposomes, ac

Our understanding and quantification of global soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and the underlying processes remain largely uncertain. Here, we assessed the effects of multiple anthropogenic and natural factors, including nitrogen fertilizer (N) application, atmospheric N deposition, manure N application, land cover change, climate change, and rising atmospheric CO2 concentration, on global soil

Background: Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists have proved effective as treatment against rheumatoid arthritis ( RA), but the unresolved issue of whether the use of anti-TNF therapy increases the already elevated risk of lymphoma in RA remains a concern. Methods: Using the Swedish Biologics Register (ARTIS), the Swedish Cancer Register, pre-existing RA cohorts and cross-linkage with other na

The power amplifier tends to be one of the most demanding parts to fully integrate when building an entire radio on a CMOS chip. In this paper the design of a fully integrated RF power amplifier without inductors is described. As inductors in CMOS technology are associated with various problems, it is interesting to examine what performance can be achieved without them. An amplifier with an operat

The incidence of the most common fracture types in Iceland is reported based on individual data from the Reykjavik Study 1967-2008. Time trend is reported for the major osteoporotic fractures (MOS) 1989-2008. This study aims to assess the incidence of all fractures in Iceland, with emphasis on the rate of hip fractures, and compare the incidence with other populations as well as examine the secula

Popular Abstract in English Antonie van Leeuwenhoek is known as the father of microbiology, because he made the first microscopic observation of bacteria in human history, published in 1683. For the naked human eyes, bacterial cells are too small to observe, and the development of microscopy techniques has since then been fundamental for examining bacterial cells. Recent advances in visualizing toCoiled coil proteins emerge as important determinants of bacterial cellular organization. Several such proteins display properties characteristic to metazoan intermediate filament (IF) proteins, and are therefore designated bacterial IF-like proteins. The best studied examples of the latter are crescentin in Caulobacter crescentus that determines the curved cell shape, and FilP (filament forming-p

The aim of this study was to assess the incremental cost effectiveness of on-demand versus prophylactic haemophilia therapy in Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom and The Netherlands from the third-party payers' perspective. Using a decision tree model, the cost effectiveness of on-demand versus prophylactic therapy was analysed by extrapolating data from the European Haemophilia Economic Study to

A search for new heavy particles manifested as resonances in two-jet final states is presented. The data were produced in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions by the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 315 nb(-1) collected by the ATLAS detector. No resonances were observed. Upper limits were set on the product of cross section and signal acceptance for excited-quark (q*) production as a fu

The results of a search for supersymmetry in final states containing at least one isolated lepton (electron or muon), jets and large missing transverse momentum with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider are reported. The search is based on proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy root s = 8 TeV collected in 2012, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20 fb(-1). No

PURPOSE Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is diagnosed at the metastatic stage, and despite extensive diagnostic work-up, the primary tumor often remains unidentified. No data are available on familial clustering of CUP. We hypothesize that familial clustering of CUP with other cancers may be informative of the primary sites. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 35,168 patients with CUP were identified i

A reconstruction of deglaciation and associated sea-level changes on northern James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula, based on lithostratigraphical and geomorphological studies, shows that the initial deglaciation of presently ice-free areas occurred slightly before 7400 14C yr BP. Sea-level in connection with the deglaciation was around 30 m a.s.l. A glacier readvance in Brandy Bay, of at least 7

OBJECTIVE: Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) using ultrasound in men reduces aneurysm-related mortality. Ambulatory screening and surveillance procedures facilitated by point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) may improve adherence to screening programs. This proof-of-concept study evaluated whether infrarenal aortic diameter (IAD) can be accurately and interchangeably measured using handheld
