Alaraajojen luun mineraalipitoisuuden ja polven nivelruston väliset yhteydet postmenopausaalisilla naisilla
2011
Tämän poikkileikkaustutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää luuston (reisiluun kaula, lanneranka L2-L4) mineraalitiheysarvojen ja polven nivelruston (reisiluu, sääriluu) eheyttä kuvaavien dGEMRIC-arvojen välistä yhteyttä postmenopausaalisilla naisilla. Tutkimukseen rekrytoitiin 82 naista (keskimääräiseltä iältään 57,7 vuotta, SD 4,2) lehti-ilmoituksen perusteella. Sisäänottokriteerinä oli rtg:llä arvioidun Kellgren-Lawrence-luokituksen (K/L) mukaan ensimmäisen (K/L1) tai toisen (K/L2) asteen lievä polven nivelrikko. Reisiluun kaulan ja lannerangan (L2–L4) BMC-arvot mitattiin DXA-laitteistolla. Tutkimushenkilöillä ei ollut osteoporoosia, jonka kynnysarvona käytettiin T-arvoa >2,5. Tibian ja …
Potential implementation of reservoir computing models based on magnetic skyrmions
2018
Reservoir Computing is a type of recursive neural network commonly used for recognizing and predicting spatio-temporal events relying on a complex hierarchy of nested feedback loops to generate a memory functionality. The Reservoir Computing paradigm does not require any knowledge of the reservoir topology or node weights for training purposes and can therefore utilize naturally existing networks formed by a wide variety of physical processes. Most efforts prior to this have focused on utilizing memristor techniques to implement recursive neural networks. This paper examines the potential of skyrmion fabrics formed in magnets with broken inversion symmetry that may provide an attractive phy…
Hvordan påvirkes arbeidsprosesser ved innføring av EPJ og velferdsteknologi på sykehjem
2018
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 In order to be better equipped in the challenges of the future, with an increasing number of elderly and fewer professionals to care for them, the government emphasizes the importance of service innovation in the healthcare sector. Change is required to gain socioeconomic benefits, particularly in work processes. More frequent and better use of electronic medical record (EMR) and welfare technology is necessary. The purpose of this study was to bring information and knowledge about how using technology in the nursing homes has transformed the work processes. Qualitative, exploratory method with semi-structured i…

Transient dynamics of pulse-driven memristors in the presence of a stable fixed point
2019
Abstract Some memristors are quite interesting from the point of view of dynamical systems. When driven by narrow pulses of alternating polarities, their dynamics has a stable fixed point, which may be useful for future applications. We study the transient dynamics of two types of memristors characterized by a stable fixed point using a time-averaged evolution equation. Time-averaged trajectories of the Biolek window function memristor and resistor-threshold type memristor circuit (an effective memristor) are determined analytically, and the times of relaxation to the stable fixed point are found. Our analytical results are in perfect agreement with the results of numerical simulations.
Modeling Networks of Probabilistic Memristors in SPICE
2021
Efficient simulation of stochastic memristors and their networks requires novel modeling approaches. Utilizing a master equation to find occupation probabilities of network states is a recent major departure from typical memristor modeling [Chaos, solitons fractals 142, 110385 (2021)]. In the present article we show how to implement such master equations in SPICE – a general purpose circuit simulation program. In the case studies we simulate the dynamics of acdriven probabilistic binary and multi-state memristors, and dc-driven networks of probabilistic binary and multi-state memristors. Our SPICE results are in perfect agreement with known analytical solutions. Examples of LTspice code are…
Probabilistic Memristive Networks: Application of a Master Equation to Networks of Binary ReRAM cells
2020
Abstract The possibility of using non-deterministic circuit components has been gaining significant attention in recent years. The modeling and simulation of their circuits require novel approaches, as now the state of a circuit at an arbitrary moment in time cannot be predicted deterministically. Generally, these circuits should be described in terms of probabilities, the circuit variables should be calculated on average, and correlation functions should be used to explore interrelations among the variables. In this paper, we use, for the first time, a master equation to analyze the networks composed of probabilistic binary memristors. Analytical solutions of the master equation for the ca…
Bifurcation analysis of a TaO memristor model
2019
This paper presents a study of bifurcation in the time-averaged dynamics of TaO memristors driven by narrow pulses of alternating polarities. The analysis, based on a physics-inspired model, focuses on the stable fixed points and on how these are affected by the pulse parameters. Our main finding is the identification of a driving regime when two stable fixed points exist simultaneously. To the best of our knowledge, such bistability is identified in a single memristor for the first time. This result can be readily tested experimentally, and is expected to be useful in future memristor circuit designs.
uMemristorToolbox: Open source framework to control memristors in Unity for ternary applications
2020
This paper presents uMemristorToolbox, a novel open source framework that reads and writes non-volatile ternary states to memristors. The Unity (C#) framework is a port of the open source Java project Memristor-Discovery and adds a closed-loop ternary memory controller to enable both PC and real-time embedded ternary applications. We validate the closed-loop ternary memory controller in an embedded system case study with 16 M+SDC Tungsten dopant memristors. We measure an average switching speed of 3 Hz, worst case energy usage of 1 μW per switch, 0.03% random write error and no decay in (non-volatile) state retention after 15 minutes. We conclude with observations and open questions when wo…
Resistive switching behaviour in ZnO and VO 2 memristors grown by pulsed laser deposition
2014
The resistive switching behaviour observed in microscale memristors based on laser ablated ZnO and VO 2 is reported. A comparison between the two materials is reported against an active device size. The results show that devices up to 300 × 300 μm 2 exhibit a memristive behaviour regardless of the device size, and 100 × 100 μm 2 ZnO-based memristors have the best resistance off/on ratio.
