Lead Detection in the Arctic Ocean: Assessment of thresholding and machine learning classification methods on Sentinel-3 SRAL altimeter for lead detection in the Arctic Ocean

Detection of the openings in the Arctic sea ice pack, or leads, allow to sample instantaneous sea surface height (SSH) and this information is crucial for quantifying the impact of sea ice melting. It is therefore important to correctly detect as many leads as possible to obtain more SSH references. This paper studies 12 different classification...

E-nvironmentally friendly: A design tool towards positive consumer perception of recycled plastic in electronic products

An essential step on the way to a circular economy is utilizing recycled materials for new products. Even though the use of recycled plastic has been increasing for the past decades, electronic products have been largely overlooked in this context. Currently, there are no design strategies on how to use recycled plastic in electronic products....

Estimation of the Hazard in Patients with Myocardial Infarction Using a Shape-Constrained Estimator

The traditional hazard estimator does not incorporate any assumption regarding its shape. In some application, this might not be suitable due to some perspective that the hazard should be monotone decreasing. For example, when estimating the hazard of patients with Myocardial Infarction (MI) in AMC hospital, it is believed that the hazard of...
