Abstract:

This Thesis describes our work at the boundary between Computer Science and Cognitive (Neuro)Science. In particular, (1) we have worked on methodological improvements to clustering-based meta-analysis of neuroimaging data, which is a technique that allows to collectively assess, in a quantitative way, activation peaks from several functional imaging studies, in order to extract the most robust results in the cognitive domain of interest. Hierarchical clustering is often used in this context, yet it is prone to the problem of non-uniqueness of the solution: a different permutation of the same i

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to develop an explanation why some children are better at addition and subtraction mental computation than others. For the purposes of this thesis, mental computation was defined as "the process of carrying out arithmetic calculations without the aid of external devices" (Sowder, 1988, p.182). To reflect current views of mental computation as calculating with the head, rather than merely, in the head, the definition was extended to calculating using strategies with understanding (Anghileri, 1999). Thus, proficiency was not confined to accuracy, but also included fl

VIDEO segmentation facilitates e±cient video indexing and navigation in large digital video archives. It is an important process in a content-based video indexing and retrieval (CBVIR) system. Many automated solutions performed seg- mentation by utilizing information about the \facts" of the video. These \facts" come in the form of labels that describe the objects which are captured by the cam- era. This type of solutions was able to achieve good and consistent results for some video genres such as news programs and informational presentations. The content format of this type of videos is gene

Waking up in a world where everyone carries a miniature supercomputer, interaction designers find themselves in their forerunners dreams. Faced with the reality of planetary-scale we have to confront the task of articulating approaches responsive this accidental ubiquity of computation. This thesis attempts such a formulation by defining computation as a strange material, a plasticity shaped equally by its technical properties and the mode of production by which is its continuously re-produced. The definition is applied through a methodology of excursions — participatory explorations into two

The results show that tech companies have higher first-day returns that other companies based on the ICB standard. Moreover, return of the sector index, age of company and part of the year the IPO is made influences first-day returns. Considering the small dataset and some model violation

Abstract:

RNA splicing has enabled a dramatic increase in species complexity. Splicing occurs in over 95% of mam- malian genes allowing the development of exceptional cellular diversity without an increase in raw gene numbers. This is highlighted by the fact that human and nematodes have the same number of genes (20,000 human genes versus 19,000 genes in Caenorhabditis elegans). Although the mechanistic process of splicing is now well understood there remains a multitude of unexplored dynamics that have only become visible with the power of next generation sequencing (NGS).
