▼ In Sweden, there are many pit lakes, originating from limestone quarries and metal mines, with unknown status in regard to the activity concentration of radionuclides. Such knowledge is generally available only for pit lakes from uranium mining activi-ties. However, since naturally occurring radionuclides such as 238U, 232Th and 40K are always present in the environment, is it possible that, for example, a copper mine might contain radioactivity levels to warrant concern? For non-uranium mines, which characteristics are typical among those that contain higher amounts of radionuclides, and how should such characteristics be determined? These are some of the questions that are dealt with in this work. In the course of this work, radiochemical procedures were set up and validated, and sampling of pit lake water and sediments were carried out and analyzed by gamma and alpha spectrometry, mass spectrometry and fluorescence techniques. Statistical anal-yses were employed to explore similarities among the different pit lakes. One site was more thoroughly studied for vertical distribution of water quality parameters, stable elements and radionuclides. All of the pit lakes in this work had an activity concentration of naturally occurring radionuclides well below the recommendations for drinking water. Furthermore, the activity concentrations found in lakes in Northern Sweden were about a factor of ten lower for U isotopes and a factor of three lower for 210Po and Th isotopes, compared to the southern part of Sweden. This geographical contrast coincided with the differ-ence in ambient dose equivalent rate that was measured at each site, where the higher dose rates were found in the southern part of Sweden. Furthermore, in a stratified lake, the concentration of stable elements and radionuclides in the surface water were many times lower than the concentration found in the deeper part of the lake. Thus, the con-centration measured in surface water ought to be viewed as an underestimation of the average concentration in a pit lake.

▼ In this study, a machine learning approach based on time series models, different feature engineering, feature extraction, and feature derivation is proposed to improve air passenger forecasting. Different types of datasets were created to extract new features from the core data. An experiment was undertaken with artificial neural networks to test the performance of neurons in the hidden layer, to optimise the dimensions of all layers and to obtain an optimal choice of connection weights – thus the nonlinear optimisation problem could be solved directly. A method of tuning deep learning models using H2O (which is a feature-rich, open source machine learning platform known for its R and Spark integration and its ease of use) is also proposed, where the trained network model is built from samples of selected features from the dataset in order to ensure diversity of the samples and to improve training. A successful application of deep learning requires setting numerous parameters in order to achieve greater model accuracy. The number of hidden layers and the number of neurons, are key parameters in each layer of such a network. Hyper-parameter, grid search, and random hyper-parameter approaches aid in setting these important parameters. Moreover, a new ensemble strategy is suggested that shows potential to optimise parameter settings and hence save more computational resources throughout the tuning process of the models. The main objective, besides improving the performance metric, is to obtain a distribution on some hold-out datasets that resemble the original distribution of the training data. Particular attention is focused on creating a modified version of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using a different correlation matrix – obtained by a different correlation coefficient based on kinetic energy to derive new features. The data were collected from several airline datasets to build a deep prediction model for forecasting airline passenger numbers. Preliminary experiments show that fine-tuning provides an efficient approach for tuning the ultimate number of hidden layers and the number of neurons in each layer when compared with the grid search method. Similarly, the results show that the modified version of PCA is more effective in data dimension reduction, classes reparability, and classification accuracy than using traditional PCA.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The main topics of study in this thesis are the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Canonical Variate Analysis (CVA) biplots, with the primary focus falling on the quality measures associated with these biplots. A detailed study of different routes along which PCA and CVA can be derived precedes the study of the PCA biplot and CVA biplot respectively. Different perspectives on PCA and CVA highlight different aspects of the theory that underlie PCA and CVA biplots respectively and so contribute to a more solid understanding of these biplots and their interpretation. PCA is studied via the routes followed by Pearson (1901) and Hotelling (1933). CVA is studied from the perspectives of Linear Discriminant Analysis, Canonical Correlation Analysis as well as a two-step approach introduced in Gower et al. (2011). The close relationship between CVA and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) also receives some attention. An explanation of the construction of the PCA biplot is provided subsequent to the study of PCA. Thereafter follows an in depth investigation of quality measures of the PCA biplot as well as the relationships between these quality measures. Specific attention is given to the effect of standardisation on the PCA biplot and its quality measures. Following the study of CVA is an explanation of the construction of the weighted CVA biplot as well as two different unweighted CVA biplots based on the two-step approach to CVA. Specific attention is given to the effect of accounting for group sizes in the construction of the CVA biplot on the representation of the group structure underlying a data set. It was found that larger groups tend to be better separated from other groups in the weighted CVA biplot than in the corresponding unweighted CVA biplots. Similarly it was found that smaller groups tend to be separated to a greater extent from other groups in the unweighted CVA biplots than in the corresponding weighted CVA biplot. A detailed investigation of previously defined quality measures of the CVA biplot follows the study of the CVA biplot. It was found that the accuracy with which the group centroids of larger groups are approximated in the weighted CVA biplot is usually higher than that in the corresponding unweighted CVA biplots. Three new quality measures that assess that accuracy of the Pythagorean distances in the CVA biplot are also defined. These quality measures assess the accuracy of the Pythagorean distances between the group centroids, the Pythagorean distances between the individual samples and the Pythagorean distances between the individual samples and group centroids in the CVA biplot respectively.

▼ The overall objective of this thesis is to develop methods for fault detection and diagnosis for ground source heat pumps that can be used by servicemen to assist them to accurately detect and diagnose faults during the operation of the heat pump. The aim of this thesis is focused to develop two fault detection and diagnosis methods, sensitivity ratio and data-driven using principle component analysis. For the sensitivity ratio method model, two semi-empirical models for heat pump unit were built to simulate fault free and faulty conditions in the heat pump. Both models have been cross-validated by fault free experimental data. The fault free model is used as a reference. Then, fault trend analysis is performed in order to select a pair of uniquely sensitive and insensitive parameters to calculate the sensitivity ratio for each fault. When a sensitivity ratio value for a certain fault drops below a predefined value, that fault is diagnosed and an alarm message with that fault appears. The simulated faults data is used to test the model and the model successfully detected and diagnosed the faults types that were tested for different operation conditions. In the second method, principle component analysis is used to drive linear correlations of the original variables and calculate the principle components to reduce the dimensionality of the system. Then simple clustering technique is used for operation conditions classification and fault detection and diagnosis process. Each fault is represented by four clusters connected with three lines where each cluster represents different fault intensity level. The fault detection is performed by measuring the shortest orthogonal distance between the test point and the lines connecting the faults’ clusters. Simulated fault free and faulty data are used to train the model. Then, a new set of simulated faults data is used to test the model and the model successfully detected and diagnosed all faults type and intensity level of the tested faults for different operation conditions. Both models used simple seven temperature measurements, two pressure measurements (from which the condensation and evaporation temperatures are calculated) and the electrical power, as an input to the fault detection and diagnosis model. This is to reduce the cost and make it more convenient to implement. Finally, for each models, a user friendly graphical user interface is built to facilitate the model operation by the serviceman.

▼ Missing data are common in medical research. One area where missing data can arise is in composite scores (or scale scores) when one or more of the items that form the scale is incomplete. A method that is becoming increasingly popular for handling missing data is multiple imputation (MI). In the context of missing data in scale scores, MI can be applied at either the item level or the scale level. Various strategies have been proposed in the literature for imputing missing data at the scale level and the item level. Yet there is little comparison of these strategies in longitudinal settings and not much guidance is available about how to best implement these strategies. The challenge with using the available strategies in longitudinal studies is that one may want to impute missing data in several scales, each of which comprises a large number of items that have been measured at several waves, leading to large imputation models which may result in convergence problems. It is therefore important to evaluate the performance of these strategies in longitudinal settings to provide proper guidance for users of MI. In this thesis, I used a simulation study and a real example from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) to compare the performance of the four MI strategies that are available for handling missing data in composite scores within a longitudinal setting. These strategies are: scale-level imputation using scale scores as auxiliary variables; the “standard” item-level imputation, which uses other items as auxiliary variables; item-level imputation using scale scores as auxiliary variables; and item-level imputation using principal components, derived from other items, as auxiliary variables. I also compared the effect of implementing these strategies using two MI approaches, multivariate normal imputation (MVNI) and fully conditional specification (FCS). While the literature recommends item-level imputation over scale level imputation, the research in this thesis demonstrates that when implemented using FCS, item-level imputation, with items from other scales as auxiliary variables, could produce biased parameter estimates. This research also provides support for using scales scores or principal components as auxiliary variables in item-level imputation models when the “standard” item-level imputation strategy cannot be used due to convergence problems.

▼ Our unprecedented capacity for data generation and acquisition often reaches the limits of our data storage capabilities. Situations when data are generated faster or at a greater volume than can be stored demand a streaming approach. Memory is an even more valuable resource. Algorithms that use more memory than necessary can pose bottlenecks when processing high-dimensional data and the need for memory-efficient algorithms is especially stressed in the streaming setting. Finally, network along with storage, emerge as the critical bottlenecks in the context of distributed computation. These computational constraints spell out a demand for efficient tools that guarantee a solution in the face of limited resources, even when the data is very noisy or highly incomplete. For the first part of this dissertation, we present our work on streaming, memory-limited Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Therein, we give the first convergence guarantees for an algorithm that solves PCA in the single-pass streaming setting. Then, we discuss the distinct challenges that arise when the received samples are overwhelmingly incomplete and present an algorithm and analysis that deals with this issue. Finally, we give a set of extensive experiment results that showcase the practical merits of our algorithm over the state of the art. The need for heavy network communication arises as the bottleneck when dealing with cluster computation. In that paradigm, a set of worker nodes are connected over the network to produce a cluster with improved computational and storage capacities. This comes with an increased need for communication across the network. In the last part of this work, we consider the problem of PageRank on graph engines. Therein, we make changes to GraphLab, a state-of-the-art platform for distributed graph computation, in a way that leads to a 7x-10x speedup for certain PageRank approximation tasks. Accompanying analysis supports the behaviour we see in our experiments.

▼ Forests in the southern United States with diverse forest ownership entities are facing threats associated with climate change and natural disturbances. This study represented the relationship between climate and species dominance, predicted future species distribution probability under a changing climate, and projected forest dynamics under ownership-based management regimes. Correlative statistics and mechanistic modeling approaches are implemented. Temporal scale includes the recent past 40 years and the future 60 years; spatial scale downscaled from southern United States to the coastal region of the northern Gulf of Mexico. In the southern United States, dominance of four major pine species experienced shifts from 1970 to 2000; quantile regression models built on the relationships among pine dominance and climatic variables can be used to predict future southern pine dominance. Furthermore, multiple climate envelope models (CEMs) were constructed for nineteen native and one invasive tree species (Chinese tallow, <i>Triadica sebifera</i>) to predict species establishment probabilities (SEPs) on the various land types from 2010 to 2070. CEMs achieved both predictive consistency and ecological conformity in estimating SEPs. Chinese tallow was predicted to have the highest invasionability in longleaf/slash pine and oak/gum/cypress forests during the next 60 years. Forest dynamics, in the coastal region, was projected by linking CEMs and forest landscape model (LANDIS) to evaluate ownership-based management regimes under climate change and natural disturbances. The dominance of forest species will diminish due to climate change and natural disturbances at both spatial scalesin the coastal region and non-industrial private forest (NIPF). No management on NIPF land was predicted to substantially increase the ratio of occupancy area between pines and oaks, but moderate and intensive management regimes were not significantly different. Pines are expected to be more resistant than oaks by maintaining stable age structures, which matched the forest inventory records. Overall, this study projected a future of southern forests on climate-species relationship, invasion risks, and forest community dynamics under multiple scenarios in the United States. Such knowledge could assist forest managers and landowners in foreseeing the future and making effective management prescriptions to mitigate potential threats.

A indústria automóvel é em Portugal um setor significativamente importante para a sociedade, quer na criação de emprego como também para o desenvolvimento económico do País. No entanto, para continuarem no mercado, as organizações devem assegurar a sua competitividade não só em relação a empresas Portuguesas, mas sobretudo em relação às empresas estrangeiras, uma vez que a maioria da produção desta indústria tem como destino o resto do mundo através da exportação. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo investigar os fatores que contribuem para a competitividade da indústria automóvel Portuguesa através da criação de valor, mais concretamente a indústria de produção de componentes, ferramentas e prestação de serviços. Com base na revisão das principais teorias de vantagem competitiva, recorreu-se a uma pesquisa quantitativa, através de um questionário on-line, para validar as hipóteses de investigação propostas. Através do tratamento estatístico dos resultados aplicando metodologias de estatística descritiva, análise de componentes principais e análise de correlação, foi possível concluir que na indústria em análise a criação de valor é influenciada pela adoção de uma estratégia de diferenciação/focalização e pelo contexto externo favorável, não tendo sido possível concluir se as caraterísticas específicas da organização influenciam, ou não, a criação de valor. Do ponto de vista teórico, as conclusões demonstram a relevância da adoção de uma estratégia de diferenciação e focalização, e do contexto externo, para a competitividade das organizações, suportando os pressupostos da Teoria Baseada na Indústria de Porter. Quanto ao ponto de vista prático, os resultados destacam a importância da monitorização do contexto externo e do investimento na investigação e desenvolvimento, imagem de marca e especialização de mercado, para potenciar a criação de valor e competitividade da indústria de produção de componentes, ferramentas e prestação de serviços, para o setor automóvel.

The automotive industry in Portugal is a significant sector for the society, both in job creation and in the country's economic development. However, to remain in the market, organizations must ensure their competitiveness not only in relation to Portuguese companies, but especially in relation to foreign companies, since most of the production of this industry is destined to the rest of the world through export. This dissertation aims to investigate the factors that contribute for the competitiveness of the Portuguese automotive industry, more specifically the components and tooling manufacturing and service rendering, through the creation of value. Based on the review of the main theories of competitive advantage, a quantitative research was done through an online questionnaire to validate the proposed research hypotheses. The statistical analysis of the results, based on the application of descriptive statistics methodologies, principle components analysis and correlation analysis, it was possible to conclude that in the industry in study, the value…

▼ This research investigated the application of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for recognition of facial expressions based on facial action coding system (FACS). Support vector machines (SVMs) were used to validate the results obtained by RNNs. In this approach, instead of recognizing whole facial expressions, the focus was on the recognition of action units (AUs) that are defined in FACS. Recurrent neural networks are capable of gaining knowledge from temporal data while SVMs, which are time invariant, are known to be very good classifiers. Thus, the research consists of four important components: comparison of the use of image sequences against single static images, benchmarking feature selection and network optimization approaches, study of inter-AU correlations by implementing multiple output RNNs, and study of difference images as an approach for performance improvement. In the comparative studies, image sequences were classified using a combination of Gabor filters and RNNs, while single static images were classified using Gabor filters and SVMs. Sets of 11 FACS AUs were classified by both approaches, where a single RNN/SVM classifier was used for classifying each AU. Results indicated that classifying FACS AUs using image sequences yielded better results than using static images. The average recognition rate (RR) and false alarm rate (FAR) using image sequences was 82.75% and 7.61%, respectively, while the classification using single static images yielded a RR and FAR of 79.47% and 9.22%, respectively. The better performance by the use of image sequences can be at- tributed to RNNs ability, as stated above, to extract knowledge from time-series data. Subsequent research then investigated benchmarking dimensionality reduction, feature selection and network optimization techniques, in order to improve the performance provided by the use of image sequences. Results showed that an optimized network, using weight decay, gave best RR and FAR of 85.38% and 6.24%, respectively. The next study was of the inter-AU correlations existing in the Cohn-Kanade database and their effect on classification models. To accomplish this, a model was developed for the classification of a set of AUs by a single multiple output RNN. Results indicated that high inter-AU correlations do in fact aid classification models to gain more knowledge and, thus, perform better. However, this was limited to AUs that start and reach apex at almost the same time. This suggests the need for availability of a larger database of AUs, which could provide both individual and AU combinations for further investigation. The final part of this research investigated use of difference images to track the motion of image pixels. Difference images provide both noise and feature reduction, an aspect that was studied. Results showed that the use of difference image sequences provided the best results, with RR and FAR of 87.95% and 3.45%, respectively, which is shown to be significant when compared to use of normal image sequences classified using RNNs.

▼ In the last decades, measurement while drilling, or MWD, technology has set foot in the drill and blast tunnelling industry. Penetration rate, thrust, torque pressure, percussive pressure, rotation speed, water flow and water pressure are registered on a centimetre scale and processed to parameters more dependent on geology. These parameters could ideally be used to adapt the blast design for a more efficient blast and to predict the amount of rock support needed. In reality, MWD technology is often only used to document geology. The main reasons for this could be that the workflow is not fully adapted to the MWD technology, the knowledge about MWD is not sufficient or the ability of MWD to represent the geology has not been extensively investigated and verified for drill and blast tunnelling. MWD has great potential since it is a relatively cheap and simple method of collecting a larger amount of data, which does not interfere with the workflow in drill and blast tunnelling. The aim is to investigate the ability to detect discontinuities and their geometrical properties in MWD data and to evaluate the usability of MWD data in terms of detecting discontinuities. The first of five objectives is a literature review on the subjects of MWD technology, discontinuities in rock masses, previous research and statistical data analysis methods. Raw MWD parameters are processed and filtered by software, which can somewhat be seen as eliminating influences such as depth dependency and percussive pressure. This results in modified penetration rate, torque or water pressure which represents rock mass properties. Previous research showed the inability to compare MWD data and available geological reporting about fractures was due to a large difference in scale. For statistical analysis of MWD data in this study 4 methods are considered. Principle component analysis and k-means cluster analyses are forms of unsupervised learning and can potentially help to understand and reduce complexity of multivariate datasets. Linear and logistic regressions are forms of supervised learning that can give insight into predictability and potentially predict the presence discontinuities. The second objective is to gather data, which is appropriate and detailed enough to study relations between MWD data and discontinuities. Two tunnels under construction are visited where limestone and highly foliated phyllite are the dominant rock types. These are the Solbakktunnelen and Bjørnegårdtunnelen. While not disturbing the construction work, different methods of detailed geological mapping are used. Blasthole remains used as scanlines for mapping discontinuities and mapping discontinuities in the contour and face led to a dataset reflecting the geological situation in tunnels. Another method for mapping discontinuities, which is not influenced as much by blasting, is borehole inspection. The use of an inspection camera and an optical televiewer resulted in 11 video footages and 25 detailed recordings of 5 meter long boreholes. The third objective is to… Advisors/Committee Members: Ngan-Tillard, D.J.M. (mentor).

▼ Falls are one of the greatest threats to elderly health in their daily living routines and activities. Therefore, it is very important to detect falls of an elderly in a timely and accurate manner, so that immediate response and proper care can be provided, by sending fall alarms to caregivers. Radar is an effective non-intrusive sensing modality which is well suited for this purpose, which can detect human motions in all types of environments, penetrate walls and fabrics, preserve privacy, and is insensitive to lighting conditions. Micro-Doppler features are utilized in radar signal corresponding to human body motions and gait to detect falls using a narrowband pulse-Doppler radar. Human motions cause time-varying Doppler signatures, which are analyzed using time-frequency representations and matching pursuit decomposition (MPD) for feature extraction and fall detection. The extracted features include MPD features and the principal components of the time-frequency signal representations. To analyze the sequential characteristics of typical falls, the extracted features are used for training and testing hidden Markov models (HMM) in different falling scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm and method achieve fast and accurate fall detections. The risk of falls increases sharply when the elderly or patients try to exit beds. Thus, if a bed exit can be detected at an early stage of this motion, the related injuries can be prevented with a high probability. To detect bed exit for fall prevention, the trajectory of head movements is used for recognize such human motion. A head detector is trained using the histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features of the head and shoulder areas from recorded bed exit images. A data association algorithm is applied on the head detection results to eliminate head detection false alarms. Then the three dimensional (3D) head trajectories are constructed by matching scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) keypoints in the detected head areas from both the left and right stereo images. The extracted 3D head trajectories are used for training and testing an HMM based classifier for recognizing bed exit activities. The results of the classifier are presented and discussed in the thesis, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed stereo vision based bed exit detection approach.

▼ Noxious stimuli can evoke the nociceptive withdrawal response (NWR), which protects the affected part of the body from injury. The rat’s tail, because of the large number of joint (n=84) and muscle (n=300) degrees of freedom, may present a computational challenge to the central nervous system. Previous studies have revealed that synergies act to reduce the number of degrees of freedom across diverse movements in a variety of animals; however, there is little information in mammals on synergistic control of the tail. The long-term specific aim of this project is to test the hypothesis that during the NWR muscle synergies controlling rat’s tail reduces the muscular degrees of freedom by recording the electromyograms (EMGs) from intrinsic tail muscles during heat evoked NWRs. Adult, male Sprague Dawley rats were briefly anesthetized with isoflurane. The tail was marked in thirteen equally spaced locations on the dorsal surface of the tail for stimulation and tracking. To record the EMG, 14 fine wires were inserted at seven locations along the length of the tail. Heat stimuli were delivered at 11 locations along the tail to evoke a NWR that was captured by high speed video. Robust single and multi-unit EMG recordings were obtained. The EMG had two components, an early component right after stimulation and a late component. The early component coincided with initial movement of the tail away from the heat stimulus; however, it consistently lagged movement onset by 93 ms. The location of peak EMG closely matched the site of heat stimulation. In order to find possible synergies, principle component analysis revealed that 93% of the movement could be explained by three synergies constructed from seven possible muscle degrees-of-freedom, thus reducing computational complexity from 7 to 3 degrees of freedom. These results demonstrate that intrinsic tail muscles contribute to tail movement, but because of the lag relative to movement they are not sufficient to fully explain the initial movement of the NWR. Further, the results support the use by the central nervous systems of synergies to reduce the substantial computational complexity of tail movement. Advisors/Committee Members: Corey L. Cleland, Katrina E. Gobetz, Marquis Walker.
