1. 1. Ageing of Asphalt Mixtures : Micro-scale and mixture morphology investigation

   Författare :Prabir Kumar Das; Björn Birgisson; Nicole Kringos; Andreas Loizos; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ageing; Aggregate packing; Atomic force microscopy; Asphalt mixture; Bitumen; Diffusion; Finite element analysis; Gradation; Micro-structure; Mixture morphology; Oxidative ageing; Surface ageing;

   Sammanfattning : There are many variables that affect the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures with time, among which age hardening may be considered one of the important ones. Age hardening of asphalt mixtures is an irreversible process, which contributes to a reduction of the durability of pavements and eventually increases the maintenance cost. LÄS MER

3. 2. Multiphase continuum modeling of wood : A hybrid mixture theory approach

   Författare :Winston Mmari; Björn Johannesson; Lynn Schreyer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Moisture transport; Coupled heat and moisture; Over-hygroscopic; Hybrid mixture theory; Mixture theory; Swelling; Hygro-mechanical; Non-linear elasticity; Large deformation; Phase field crack model; Anisotropic cracking; FEM; Numerical model; Norway spruce; Wood; Porous media; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Wood has been used as a construction material for a very long time. The development of efficient industrial production processes of wood has expanded the use of the material with the introduction of new products, such as engineered wood products. LÄS MER

4. 3. Spatial Mixture Models with Applications in Medical Imaging and Spatial Point Processes

   Författare :Anders Hildeman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Non-Gaussian; Bayesian level set inversion; Point processes; Substitute CT; Finite mixture models; Spatial statistics; Gaussian fields; Non-Gaussian;

   Sammanfattning : Finite mixture models have proven to be a great tool for both modeling non-standard probability distributions and for classification problems (using the latent variable interpretation). In this thesis we are building spatial models by incorporating spatially dependent categorical latent random fields in a hierarchical manner similar to that of finite mixture models. LÄS MER

5. 4. Perspectives on Probabilistic Graphical Models

   Författare :Dong Liu; Ragnar Thobaben; Harri Lähdesmäki; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bayesian methods; graphical models; inference; learning; statistics; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Probabilistic graphical models provide a natural framework for the representation of complex systems and offer straightforward abstraction for the interactions within the systems. Reasoning with help of probabilistic graphical models allows us to answer inference queries with uncertainty following the framework of probability theory. LÄS MER

7. 5. Dependence Structures in Stable Mixture Models with an Application to Extreme Precipitation

   Författare :Anna Rudvik; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multivariate extreme value theory; mixture model; stable variable; dependence measure; mixture model;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis we study a class of mixture models obtained by mixing extreme value distributions over a positive stable distribution. This depicts a group structure, where the stable distribution is a group specific quantity and a function of the surroundings. The stable mixture models possess a number of interesting characteristics. LÄS MER
