The Genome Sequence of Taurine Cattle : A Window to Ruminant Biology and Evolution
- 2009

- To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to about sevenfold coverage. The cattle genome contains a minimum of 22,000 genes, with a core set of 14,345 orthologs shared among seven mammalian species of which 1217 are absent or undetected in noneutherian (marsupial or monotreme) genomes. Cattle-specific evolutionary breakpoint regions in chromosomes have a higher density of segmental duplications, enrichment of repetitive elements, and species-specific variations in genes associated with lactation and immune responsiveness. Genes involved in metabolism are generally highly conserved, although five metabolic genes are deleted or extensively diverged from their human orthologs. The cattle genome sequence thus provides a resource for understanding mammalian evolution and accelerating livestock genetic improvement for milk and meat production.

Multi-sensor Driver Drowsiness Monitoring
- 2008

Ingår i: Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering. - 2041-2991 .- 0954-4070. ; 222:11, s. 2041-2062

- A system for driver drowsiness monitoring is proposed, using multi-sensor dataacquisition and investigating two decision-making algorithms, namely a fuzzy inference system(FIS) and an artificial neural network (ANN), to predict the drowsiness level of the driver.Drowsiness indicator signals are selected allowing non-intrusive measurements. The experi-mental set-up of a driver-drowsiness-monitoring system is designed on the basis of the sought-after indicator signals. These selected signals are the eye closure via pupil area measurement,gaze vector and head motion acquired by a monocular computer vision system, steering wheelangle, vehicle speed, and force applied to the steering wheel by the driver. It is believed that, byfusing these signals, driver drowsiness can be detected and drowsiness level can be predicted.For validation of this hypothesis, 30 subjects, in normal and sleep-deprived conditions, areinvolved in a standard highway simulation for 1.5 h, giving a data set of 30 pairs. For designing afeature space to be used in decision making, several metrics are derived using histograms andentropies of the signals. An FIS and an ANN are used for decision making on the drowsinesslevel. To construct the rule base of the FIS, two different methods are employed and comparedin terms of performance: first, linguistic rules from experimental studies in literature and,second, mathematically extracted rules by fuzzy subtractive clustering. The drowsiness levelsbelonging to each session are determined by the participants before and after the experiment,and videos of their faces are assessed to obtain the ground truth output for training thesystems. The FIS is able to predict correctly 98 per cent of determined drowsiness states(training set) and 89 per cent of previously unknown test set states, while the ANN has a correctclassification rate of 90 per cent for the test data. No significant difference is observed betweenthe FIS and the ANN; however, the FIS might be considered better since the rule base can beimproved on the basis of new observations.

Signal Modelling and Hidden Markov Models for Driving Manoeuvre Recognition and Driver Fault Diagnosis in an urban road scenario
- 2007
-
Ingår i: IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium, Proceedings. ; , s. 987-992
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Hidden Markov models (HMM) are used to identify a vehicle's manoeuvre sequence and its appropriateness for a given urban road driving situation. One of the novel aspects of this work has been the development of an efficient signal modelling approach to form a context-aware, flexible system which proved to respond well in urban road scenarios, especially in situations where the driver is likely to have an accident due to impaired performance. Another contribution has been to clarify how HMMs can be used not just to recognize vehicle manoeuvres but also to distinguish an impaired driver from a normal one in complex driving contexts. The system has worked well on simulator data and is about to be implemented in the real conditions of an urban trajectory.

World Christianity and Inter-Religious Relations: Missionsvetenskap med Ekumenik
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Svensk Teologisk Kvartalskrift. - 0039-6761. ; 82:2, s. 74-85
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article discusses contemporary trends in the Mission and Ecumenical Studies in the context of World Christianity and Inter-Religious Relations. It engages with late 20th century scholarship, particularly relating to Christianity in Africa and Asia, and interacts with the paradigm-analysis of Mission Studies as advanced by David.J.Bosch in his Transforming Mission: Paradigm Shifts in Theology of Mission (Maryknoll: Orbis, 1991).
