Explanations in Music Recommender Systems in a Mobile Setting
(Master thesis, 2020-09-18)Every day, millions of users utilize their mobile phones to access music streaming services such as Spotify. However, these `black boxes’ seldom provide adequate explanations for their music recommendations. A systematic ... -
An explicit IMF By dependence on solar wind ‐ magnetosphere coupling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Presently, all empirical coupling functions quantifying the solar wind—magnetosphere energy—or magnetic flux conversion assume that the coupling is independent of the sign of the dawn-dusk component (B𝑦) of the Interplanetary ... -
Explicit volume-preserving splitting methods for divergence-free ODEs by tensor-product basis decompositions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-23)We discuss the construction of volume-preserving splitting methods based on a tensor product of single-variable basis functions. The vector field is decomposed as the sum of elementary divergence-free vector fields (EDFVFs), ... -

Exploration of Cellular Signaling Patterns for the Stratification of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-09-16)Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by synovial inflammation that, if not treated early and efficiently, causes joint damage. The proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis ... -
Exploration of non-spinning ^1H NMR Spectroscopy as a Tool for Determination and Monitoring of Gas Hydrate Formation and Dissociation Processes
(Master thesis, 2015-11-02)Natural gas hydrates provide both a flow- assurance hazard and a potential fossil fuel source. In order to face the challenges presented by these scenarios, a greater understanding of the properties of hydrates in a range ... -

Explorations of Gender Identity; A Study of Masculinity and Gender Predicaments in Cormac McCarthy's Suttree
(Master thesis, 2012-05-15)Cormac McCarthy's male-centered prose has engendered debate amongst scholars. Are his lack of female characters an expression of misogyny? And does McCarthy simply regenerate gender stereotypes? By using insights from queer ... -
An Explorative study on a modified version of the dissociative experiences scale II in a sample of substance abusers.
(Master thesis, 2017-06-13)Background. The Dissociative Experiences Scale II (DES-II) is the most widely used and studied measure on dissociative symptoms. Several authors have argued for some necessary improvements of the scale. Accordingly, a ... -
An Exploratory Analysis of Multi-Class Uncertainty Approximation in Bayesian Convolutional Neural Networks
(Master thesis, 2018-11-22)Neural networks are an important and powerful family of models, but they have lacked practical ways of estimating predictive uncertainty. Recently, researchers from the Bayesian machine learning community developed a ... -
Exploratory multivariate analysis of the effect of fatty fish consumption and medicinal use on heart rate and heart rate variability data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02-17)The overall aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between medicinal use and fatty fish consumption on heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR) in a group of forensic inpatients on a variety of ... -
