Ontology-based clinical decision support system applied on diabetes
2017
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2017 Medical diagnosis is a multi-step process which is complex as it requires the consideration of many factors. Additionally, the accuracy of diagnosis varies depending on the skill and knowledge a physician has in the medical field. Using ICT solution, the physicians can be assisted so that they can make an accurate decision. Many applications have been developed to enhance physician performance and improve the patient outcome, however, the quality of these applications varies depending on knowledge representation methodology and reasoning approach adopted. Nowadays, ontology is being used in many clin…
Using AI and Robotics for EV battery cable detection.: Development and implementation of end-to-end model-free 3D instance segmentation for industria…
2021
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) This thesis describes a novel method for capturing point clouds and segmenting instances of cabling found on electric vehicle battery packs. The use of cutting-edge perception algorithm architectures, such as graph-based and voxel-based convolution, in industrial autonomous lithium-ion battery pack disassembly is being investigated. The thesis focuses on the challenge of getting a desirable representation of any battery pack using an ABB robot in conjunction with a high-end structured light camera, with "end-to-end" and "model-free" as design constraints. The thesis employs self-captured datasets comprised of several batt…
Learning Automata based Shiftable Domestic Load Scheduling in Smart Grid: Accuracy and Fairness
2016
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2016 In this thesis, investigation is carried out on scheduling of shiftable loads which involves partly selection of loads within the power budget of operator. Domestic shiftable loads are scheduled along multiple timeslots with the considerations of the accuracy of scheduling in terms of optimization of capacity and of the fairness between appliances in terms of frequency of usage in smart grids. Since the scheduled load can not be over the capacity, the global optimal point is a combination of loads which are most close or equal to but not over the capacity. This optimization problem is shown to be …
Relevance- and Aggregation-based Scheduling for Data Transmission in IEEE 802.15.4e IoT Networks
2017
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2017 Internet of thing (IoT) is regarded as a new communicating paradigm with Internet connectivity enabling embedded devices to interact with each other on a global scale. IoT has the potential to become the largest producer of information because of a massive number of connected devices with diverse applications ranging from environmental monitoring, home, and building automation. This ubiquitous connectivity requires reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of access to information. As an enabling technology, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have opened new opportunity with recent technological devel…
Assessing short- and long-term repeatability and stability of personality in captive zebra finches using longitudinal data
2012
11 pages; International audience; Assessing behavioural consistency is crucial to understand the evolution of personality traits. In the present study, we examined the short- and long-term repeatability and stability of two unrelated personality traits - exploratory tendencies and struggling rate - using captive female zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata). We performed two experimental sessions of behavioural tests with a 7-mo interval, which represents up to one quarter of a zebra finch's life expectancy. We showed that, overall, exploratory tendencies and struggling rate were significantly repeatable in the short term. However, only exploratory tendencies were repeatable in the long term. …

Performing arts and mediation technology in the period of lockdown
2021
Advancements in digital technologies have become novel ways to enrich communication, expression, and transmission of arts knowledge. Technology is increasingly implemented in the performance space, as a source of inspiration for artists. Especially in this period of lockdown, mediation technology has turned out to be an essential tool for different aspects of social life, as in performing arts. With venues, schools and artistic activities closed, performers, students and spectators have been obliged to keep connecting in remote conditions. This article wants to retrace the aesthetic impact of mediation technology in performing arts during this period of lockdown by focusing on the aspects t…
De la performance musicale dans la Guyane traditionnelle : expression cognitive singulière d?une musique-verbe
2021
Guianese culture and traditional music, here evoked, are various. It is more a transcultural process that, along centuries, gave an original result born in the Americas, in Guiana in this case. It is a form of refoundation, of recreation of cultures and new human beings generally called Creoles. The musical performance, that I study here, is the echo of social and cultural space of this reformulation of thought, life, and conception of the world. It is, as well, a mean of transposition and transformation of the values issued of diverse sources and categories. It is in no way a second-rate cultural practice, as it is the place where were born philosophies and actions for common life as well …
