  1. 1. Reliable Detection of Water Areas in Multispectral Drone Imagery : A faster region-based CNN model for accurately identifying the location of small-scale standing water bodies

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Författare :Shengyao Shangguan; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Water Detection; Faster region-based convolutional neural networks; Multiple images; Convolutional neural networks; Random Forest; Vattendetektering; Snabbare regionbaserade konvolutionella neurala nätverk; Flera bilder; Konvolutionella neurala nätverk; Random Forest;

    Sammanfattning : Dengue and Zika are two arboviral viruses that affect a significant portion of the world population. The principal vector species of both viruses are Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. They breed in very slow flowing or standing pools of water. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Estimation of Water Depth from Multispectral Drone Imagery : A suitability assessment of CNN models for bathymetry retrieval in shallow water areas

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Författare :Qianyao Shen; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Bathymetry Retrieval; Multispectral Imagery; Convolutional Neural Network CNN ; Hämtning Av Batymetri; Multispektrala Bilder; Konvolutionellt Neuralt Nätverk CNN ;

    Sammanfattning : Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are the main vector species for dengue disease and zika, two arboviruses that affect a substantial fraction of the global population. These mosquitoes breed in very slow-moving or standing pools of water, so detecting and managing these potential breeding habitats is a crucial step in preventing the spread of these diseases.

  4. 3. Characterisation of structure and stability differences between the C-lobes of human and P. falciparum calmodulin in the presence of calmidazolium

    Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Författare :Igor Blagojevic; Klara Enockson; Marcus Miras Landelius; Ylva Strid Holmertz; Emelie Weinesson; Emma Örnelöw; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Calmodulin; Calmidazolium; Plasmodium falciparum; Malaria; Fluorescence spectroscopy; UV spectroscopy; CD; Circular dichroism; bioinformatics;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria is a serious disease that can lead to fatal consequences if not treated. It is mainly spread via Plasmodium falciparum, a parasite carried by mosquitoes as host organisms. As a potential way of treating malaria, research is being done on possible inhibitors of calmodulin (CaM) in the parasite. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Using the eminent toolkit of Wolbachia to study Culex pipiens populations and their relations in Europe

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Filippa Bertilsson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Culex pipiens; Wolbachia; Culex pipiens pipiens; Culex pipiens molestus; West Nile virus; vector;

    Sammanfattning : Culex pipiens, in the family Culicidae, has emerged as one of the biggest vectors for West Nile virus. It has two bioforms, pipiens and molestus, which differ from each other regarding habitat, diapause, and prey. Pipiens prefers to bite birds, and molestus prefers to bite humans. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Beaver wetland and lake effects on Francisella tularensis in Swedish landscapes and hares

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Lovisa Pihlgren Hökby; [2022]
    Nyckelord :tularemia; francisella tularensis hola; beavers; hares; wetland restauration; epizoology; vector borne diseases;

    Sammanfattning : The zoonotic disease tularemia is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis that infects both humans and wildlife in Sweden. Associations between outbreaks of tularemia and lakes and rivers have earlier been observed, and semi-aquatic rodents and mosquitoes are believed to be key species groups in the epidemiological cycle of the disease.
