(Master thesis, 2012-08-01)The aim of this thesis is to explore the possibility of using Genetic Programming to create agents that play non-deterministic games at a human level. The game that is used to test the hypothesis is Ms. Pac-Man; an old ... -
Using grain size analysis to understand transverse versus axial sediment supply to a rift: Example from the Sperchios rift, Greece
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)In order to better understand the interaction between different controlling variables in fluvial systems in a rift basin, and the differences between transverse and axial drainage in the same setting, I present the results ... -
Using Grizzly Bears to Assess Harvest-Ecosystem Tradeoffs in Salmon Fisheries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04-10)Implementation of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) requires a clear conceptual and quantitative framework for assessing how different harvest options can modify benefits to ecosystem and human beneficiaries. We ... -
Using Growth velocity to predict child mortality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background: Growth assessment based on the WHO child growth velocity standards can potentially be used to predict adverse health outcomes. Nevertheless, there are very few studies on growth velocity to predict mortality. ... -
Using Heat and Ceilometer to create an elastic OpenStack grid
(Master thesis, 2017-06-21)Grid computing is a term for connecting computing resources together to solve large computational problems. Computational grids are used for a lot of computations within the high energy physics domain, where the amount of ... -
Using induced pluripotent stem cells for modeling POLG mitochondrial disease : Stamceller som modellsystem for å behandle mitokondriesykdom
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-02-03)Background: More than 90% of the energy required to sustain life is provided by mitochondria through the process of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). The role of mitochondria, however, is not restricted to supplying ... -
Using iPSC Models to Understand the Role of Estrogen in Neuron–Glia Interactions in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BIP) are severe mental disorders with a considerable disease burden worldwide due to early age of onset, chronicity, and lack of efficient treatments or prevention strategies. ... -
Using iPSC-derived cortical organoids to study disease mechanisms of POLG-disease and explore new therapeutic strategies
(Master thesis, 2023-07-03)POLG-related diseases are a set of severe mitochondrial myopathies caused by a mutation in the POLG gene. The POLG gene encodes for the catalytic subunit of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymerase gamma (Pol-γ). Pol-γ is ... -
Using learning analytics to understand esports students
