Combining and evaluating regression methods for galaxyredshift estimates

In this thesis I develop a Machine Learning method to combine galactic redshift estimates of previous authors into an aggregate estimate. I investigate weather combining earlier results into a single estimate is a worthwhile effort. Disagreement between the earlier results is used as a metric the quality of estimation. This disagreement is...

Incorporation of Contracture Formation during Dermal Wound Healing: A Mathematical Model

In order to rapidly close skin wounds and prevent further infection, the process of contraction is initiated during wound healing. However, this process has the potential to become problematic as it may result in permanent contraction, or contracture formation. In order to give an insight in the dynamics involved with this process, we present a...

Encoding of Scanned Line Drawings for a Narrowband Mobile Multimedia Environment

In facsimile transmission, scanned line drawings such as handwritten text, charts, maps and figures are coded with the Modified Huffman code. In the commonly known telecommunication systems, the information is sent over a cable which is the transmission channel. However, in the last decade mobile systems get a greater market, and the...
