Det finns många komplexa sjukdomar som i dagsläget är mycket svåra att diagnostisera. Det är inte ovanligt att när dessa sjukdomar slutligen diagnostiseras så är det för sent för att kunna göra någonting åt det. Men med en ny teknik kan det bli möjligt att ställa diagnoser i tid. Tekniken grundar sig i att, från ett vanligt blodprov, identifiera vilka proteiner som finns i blodet varpå sedan låta When using antibody microarrays to diagnose diseases, the process of quality control of the microarray data is an important step. Currently, a part of this process is performed manually by visual inspection. In this master project, we aim to automate the quality control in order to make it reproducible, as well as to find out which properties of the data that have the most to do with its quality.

I olika delar av Sydamerika sprider myggarten Aedes aegypti bland annat denguefeber och artens utbredning i området har länge studerats av en särskild arbetsgrupp på Buenos Aires universitet. Idag finns det många metoder för att förhindra spridningen av mygg.

In this thesis, a new Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) technique is used to determine the direction of a target in an outdoor environment using Radio Frequency (RF) signals. This technique estimates the AoA based on the difference between the Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSI) from two/four directive antennas. This thesis work includes a mathematical model for this new technique, simulations that ma
