Abstract:

Human Body Communication (HBC) is a novel communication method between devices which use human body as a transmission medium. This idea is mostly based on the concept of wireless biomedical monitoring system. The on-body sensor nodes can monitor vital signs of a human body and use the body as a transmission medium. This technology is convenient for long durations of clinical monitoring with the option of more mobility and freedom for the user. In this thesis, IEEE 802.15.6-2012 physical (PHY) layer for the HBC was simulated. Simulation model is following the standard’s requirements and proces

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.<br>Search and Target Acquisition (STA) in military simulations is the process of first identifying targets in a particular setting, then determining the probability of detection. This study will focus on the search aspect in STA, particularly with unaided vision. Current algorithms in combat models use an antiquated windshield wiper search pattern when conducting search. The studies used to determine these patterns used aided vision, such as binoculars or night vision devices. Very little research has been conducted for unaided vision

Abstract:

Human behavior plays an important role in infectious disease epidemics. The choice of preventive actions taken by individuals can completely change the epidemic outcome. Computational epidemiologists usually employ large-scale agent-based simulations of human populations to study disease outbreaks and assess intervention strategies. Such simulations rarely take into account the decision-making process of human beings when it comes to preventive behaviors. Absence of realistic agent behavior can undermine the reliability of insights generated by such simulations and might make them ill-suited f

Abstract:

<p>Study of physical phenomena by means of mathematical models is common in various branches of engineering and science. In biomechanics, modelling often involves studying human motion by treating the body as a mechanical system made of interconnected rigid links. Robotics deals with similar cases as robots are often designed to imitate human behavior. Modelling human movements is a complicated task and, therefore, requires several simplifications and assumptions. Available computational resources often dictate the nature and the complexity of the models. In spite of all these factors, several

Abstract:

This report covers the effect of safety factors on the time taken for humans to escape a building where fire has initiated. Monte Carlo simulation is used to determine the probability of failure to escape in a given fire scenario. The simulations indicate that the safety factor is very influential upon the probability of failure to escape. The major effects upon egress are ranked in this order of significance; time taken for the occupant to decide to leave the building after hearing the alarm, the time until conditions are too hostile for human survival, and the time until the fire is detecte

Abstract:

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations provide a very useful tool for investigating the function of membrane transporters and understanding their transport mechanism at the atomic level. In this thesis, we use MD simulations to study human glucose and glutamate transporters. Glucose transport in humans is mostly mediated by the facilitative glucose transporters, GLUTs. The crystallisation of GLUT3 has opened the way for performing MD simulations to study the transporter. However, it has been shown that most of the popular force fields underestimate the solvation free energy of simple carbohydrat

Abstract:

<p> Evolutionary forces such as recombination, demography, and selection can shape patterns of genetic diversity within populations and contribute to phenotypic variation. While theoretical models exist for each of these forces independently, mathematically modeling their joint impact on patterns of genetic diversity remains very challenging. Fortunately, it is possible to perform forward-in-time computer simulations of DNA sequences that incorporate all of these forces simultaneously. Here, I show that there are trade-offs between computational efficiency and accuracy for simulations of a

Abstract:

The Sinoatrial node (SAN) is the primary pacemaker in physiological conditions. SAN tissue is characterized by auto-ryhthmicity, i.e. it does not need external stimuli to initiate its electrical activity. The auto-rhythmic behavior is due to the spontaneous slow depolarization during the diastolic phase. Understanding the biophysical mechanisms at the base of diastolic depolarization is crucial to modulate the heart rate (HR). In turn, HR modulation is fundamental to treat cardiac arrhythmias, so that atria and ventricles can fill and pump the blood properly. The overall aim of the thesis is

In contrast to traffic accidents, head injuriy due to fall was the most important etiology. Of special interest was that the number of hematoma cases has increased.

Abstract:

This thesis research is involved with the development of new methodologies for enhancing the experimental use of computer simulations to optimize predicted human performance in a work domain. Using a computer simulation called Computer modeling Of Human Operator System Tasks (CoHOST) to test the concepts in this research, methods are developed that are used to establish confidence limits and significance thresholds by having the computer model self report its limits. These methods, along with experimental designs that are tailored to the use of computer simulation instead of human subject ba

Abstract:

Detecting positive selection in genomic regions is a recurrent topic in human population genetics studies. Over the years, many positive selection tests have been implemented to highlight specific genomic patterns left by a selective event when compared to neutral expectations. However, there is little consistency among the regions detected in several genome-wide scans using different tests and/or populations: population-specific demographic dynamics, local genomic features or different types of selection acting along the genome at different times and selective coefficients might explain such

Abstract:

publisher version<br>The interaction of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) with human immune-deficiency virus aspartic protease (HIVPR) is modelled using a regime of molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations of the 'docking', first as a rigid-body complex, and eventually through flexible-fit analysis, creates 36 different complexes from four initial orientations of the nanoparticle strategically positioned around the surface of the enzyme. The structural deviations of the enzymes from the initial x-ray crystal structure during each docking simulation are assessed by comparative analysis of second

Abstract:

<p>Simulators provide great promises of pedagogical utility in a wide array of practices. This study focuses on the use of a full-scale mannequin simulator in training of personnel at an intensive care unit at a Swedish hospital. In medicine, simulators are a means of doing realistic training without risks for the patient. Simulators for use in intensive care medicine are built to resemble as closely as possible the human physiology. In the studied sessions the simulator (a Laerdal SimMan) is set up to be an as-authentic-as-possible replication of the nurses regular, day-to-day practice.</p><p

Abstract:

Finite element modeling has become a powerful tool in orthopedic biomechanics, allowing simulations with complex geometries. Current fatigue behavior simulations are unable to accurately predict the cycles to failure, creep, and damage or modulus loss even when applied to a bending model. It is thought that the inhomogeneity of the models may be the source of the problem. It has also been suggested that the volume size of the element will affect the fatigue behavior. This is called a stressed volume effect. In this thesis non-homogeneous finite element models were used to examine the eff
