Scheduling dynamic dataflow graphs with model checking
TUCS Dissertations : 181 (Turku Centre for Computer Science (TUCS), 15.08.2014)With the shift towards many-core computer architectures, dataflow programming has been proposed as one potential solution for producing software that scales to a varying number of processor cores. Programming for parallel ... -
Scheduling of guarded command based models
TUCS Dissertations : 152 (Turku Centre for Computer Science (TUCS), 10.12.2012)Formal methods provide a means of reasoning about computer programs in order to prove correctness criteria. One subtype of formal methods is based on the weakest precondition predicate transformer semantics and uses guarded ... -
Searching for keys to successful post-merger integration : a longitudinal case-study following a public sector merger
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 23.11.2012)Unsuccessful mergers are unfortunately the rule rather than the exception. Therefore it is necessary to gain an enhanced understanding of mergers and post-merger integrations (PMI) as well as learning more about how mergers ... -
Selective inhibition of human tankyrases
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 28.03.2014)Tankyrases belong to the Diphtheria toxin-like ADP-ribosyltransferase (ARTD) enzyme superfamily, also known as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs). They catalyze a covalent post-translational modification reaction where ... -
Semantic and fuzzy modelling for human behaviour recognition in smart spaces : a case study on ambient assisted living.
TUCS Dissertations : 186 (Turku Centre for Computer Science (TUCS), 24.04.2015)Human activity recognition in everyday environments is a critical, but challenging task in Ambient Intelligence applications to achieve proper Ambient Assisted Living, and key challenges still remain to be dealt with to ... -

Solid-state reference and ion-selective electrodes : towards portable potentiometric sensing
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 08.05.2015)Potentiometric sensors are very attractive tools for chemical analysis because of their simplicity, low power consumption and low cost. They are extensively used in clinical diagnostics and in environmental monitoring. ... -
Solving the puzzle of mobile learning adoption
TUCS Dissertations : 134 (Turku Centre for Computer Science (TUCS), 18.05.2011)The dissertation seeks to explore how to improve users‘ adoption of mobile learning in current education systems. Considering the difference between basic and tertiary education in China, the research consists of two ... -
Some advances in mathematical models for preference relations
TUCS Dissertations : 136 (Turku Centre for Computer Science (TUCS), 10.06.2011)Preference relations, and their modeling, have played a crucial role in both social sciences and applied mathematics. A special category of preference relations is represented by cardinal preference relations, which are ... -

(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 12.06.2015)The distribution and traits of fish are of interest both ecologically and socio-economically. In this thesis, phenotypic and structural variation in fish populations and assemblages was studied on multiple spatial and ... -
Spatial control of angiogenesis by engineered patterns of Notch ligands
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 04.10.2022)Spatial control of angiogenesis by engineered patterns of Notch In tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, proper vascularization of engineered tissues is imperative, as diffusion of nutrients, oxygen and waste is ... -
Spatial distributions of phytoplankton in rock pools : metacommunities to molecules
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 28.04.2017)Ecological studies on how populations and communities assemble and function traditionally focussed on the effects of local environmental conditions and species interactions. Still, no species, the consequences of its actions ... -
Spatial modeling techniques for mapping and characterization of acid sulfate soils
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 08.04.2015)Acid sulfate (a.s.) soils constitute a major environmental issue. Severe ecological damage results from the considerable amounts of acidity and metals leached by these soils in the recipient watercourses. As even small hot ... -
