  1. 16. Observed score equating with covariates

    Författare :Kenny Bränberg; Marie Wiberg; Xavier de Luna; Dag Sörbom; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Equating; observed score equating; true scores; item response theory; linear equating function; equipercentile equating; kernel equating; covariates; linear regression; mean squared error; Statistics; Statistik; Statistics; statistik;

    Sammanfattning : In test score equating the focus is on the problem of finding the relationship between the scales of different test forms. This can be done only if data are collected in such a way that the effect of differences in ability between groups taking different test forms can be separated from the effect of differences in test form difficulty.

  2. 17. A generalized finite element method for linear thermoelasticity

    Författare :Anna Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thermoelasticity; parabolic equations; linear elasticity; multiscale; composites; generalized finite element; local orthogonal decomposition; a priori analysis; a priori analysis;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we develop a generalized finite element method for linear thermoelasticity problems, modeling displacement and temperature in an elastic body. We focus on strongly heterogeneous materials, like composites. LÄS MER

  3. 18. Gait speed, physical activity, cognitive function and dementia : associations in cross-sectional and longitudinal studies and validity of a physical activity questionnaire in very old people

    Författare :Jerry Öhlin; Annika Toots; Birgitta Olofsson; Håkan Littbrand; Stefan Söderberg; Anna Cristina Åberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gait speed; cognitive function; dementia; physical activity; aged 80 and over; physiotherapy; fysioterapi;

    Sammanfattning : Dementia and cognitive impairment are leading causes of disability in older people (≥ 65 years) and gait speed decline seem to be an early indicator of these conditions, sometimes preceding clinical symptoms. Dementia may be delayed or prevented with management of risk factors, such as low physical activity. LÄS MER

  4. 19. On the Identification and Approximation of Linear Systems

    Författare :Bo Wahlberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Identification; Approximation; Linear systems;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four parts. In the first one, the connections between system identification and model reduction are discussed. The second part deals with the problem of estimating ARMA models for narrow band processes. LÄS MER

  5. 20. Topics in polynomial sequences defined by linear recurrences

    Författare :INNOCENT NDIKUBWAYO; Boris Shapiro; Rikard Bøgvad; Tamás Forgács; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; recurrence relation; q-discriminant; generating function; polynomial sequence; support; real zeros; matematik; Mathematics;

    Sammanfattning : This licentiate consists of two papers treating polynomial sequences defined by linear recurrences.In paper I, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the reality of all the zeros in a polynomial sequence {P_i} generated by a three-term recurrence relation P_i(x)+ Q_1(x)P_{i-1}(x) +Q_2(x) P_{i-2}(x)=0 with the standard initial conditions P_{0}(x)=1, P_{-1}(x)=0, where Q_1(x) and Q_2(x) are arbitrary real polynomials.
