    The effect of drugs with ion channel-blocking activity on the early embryonic rat heart2010In: Birth defects research. Part B. Developmental and reproductice toxicology, ISSN 1542-9733, E-ISSN 1542-9741, Vol. 89, no 5, p. 429-440Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study investigated the effects of a range of pharmaceutical drugs with ion channel-blocking activity on the heart of gestation day 13 rat embryos in vitro. The general hypothesis was that the blockade of the IKr/hERG channel, that is highly important for the normal functioning of the embryonic rat heart, would cause bradycardia and arrhythmia. Concomitant blockade of other channels was expected to modify the effects of hERG blockade. Fourteen drugs with varying degrees of specificity and affinity toward potassium, sodium, and calcium channels were tested over a range of concentrations. The rat embryos were maintained for 2 hr in culture, 1 hr to acclimatize, and 1 hr to test the effect of the drug. All the drugs caused a concentration-dependent bradycardia except nifedipine, which primarily caused a negative inotropic effect eventually stopping the heart. A number of drugs induced arrhythmias and these appeared to be related to either sodium channel blockade, which resulted in a double atrial beat for each ventricular beat, or IKr/hERG blockade, which caused irregular atrial and ventricular beats. However, it is difficult to make a precise prediction of the effect of a drug on the embryonic heart just by looking at the polypharmacological action on ion channels. The results indicate that the use of the tested drugs during pregnancy could potentially damage the embryo by causing periods of hypoxia. In general, the effects on the embryonic heart were only seen at concentrations greater than those likely to occur with normal therapeutic dosing.

    Robust signal detection in 3D fluorescence microscopy2010In: Cytometry. Part A, ISSN 1552-4922, Vol. 77A, no 1, p. 86-96Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Robust detection and localization of biomolecules inside cells is of great importance to better understand the functions related to them. Fluorescence microscopy and specific staining methods make biomolecules appear as point-like signals on image data, often acquired in 3D. Visual detection of such point-like signals can be time consuming and problematic if the 3D images are large, containing many, sometimes overlapping, signals. This sets a demand for robust automated methods for accurate detection of signals in 3D fluorescence microscopy. We propose a new 3D point-source signal detection method that is based on Fourier series. The method consists of two parts, a detector, which is a cosine filter to enhance the point-like signals, and a verifier, which is a sine filter to validate the result from the detector. Compared to conventional methods, our method shows better robustness to noise and good ability to resolve signals that are spatially close. Tests on image data show that the method has equivalent accuracy in signal detection in comparison to Visual detection by experts. The proposed method can be used as an efficient point-like signal detection tool for various types of biological 3D image data.

    Image based measurements of single cell mtDNA mutation load MTD 20072007In: Medicinteknikdagarna 2007, 2007Conference paper (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [en]

    Cell cultures as well as cells in tissue always display a certain degree of variability,and measurements based on cell averages will miss important information contained in a heterogeneous population. These differences among cells in a population may be essential to quantify when looking at, e.g., protein expression and mutations in tumor cells which often show high degree of heterogeneity.

    Single nucleotide mutations in the mithochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can accumulate and later be present in large proportions of the mithocondria causing devastating diseases. To study mtDNA accumulation and segregation one needs to measure the amount of mtDNA mutations in each cell in multiple serial cell culture passages. The different degrees of mutation in a cell culture can be quantified by making measurements on individual cells as an alternative to looking at an average of a population. Fluorescence microscopy in combination with automated digital image analysis provides an efficient approach to this type of single cell analysis.

    Image analysis software for these types of applications are often complicated and not easy to use for persons lacking extensive knowledge in image analysis, e.g., laboratory personnel. This paper presents a user friendly implementation of an automated method for image based measurements of mtDNA mutations in individual cells detected with padlock probes and rolling-circle amplification (RCA). The mitochondria are present in the cell’s cytoplasm, and here each cytoplasm has to be delineated without the presence of a cytoplasmic stain. Three different methods for segmentation of cytoplasms are compared and it is shown that automated cytoplasmic delineation can be performed 30 times faster than manual delineation, with an accuracy as high as 87%. The final image based measurements of mitochondrial mutation load are also compared to, and show high agreement with, measurements made using biochemical techniques.

    BlobFinder, a tool for fluorescence microscopy image cytometry2009In: Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, ISSN 0169-2607, E-ISSN 1872-7565, Vol. 94, no 1, p. 58-65Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Images can be acquired at high rates with modern fluorescence microscopy hardware, giving rise to a demand for high-speed analysis of image data. Digital image cytometry, i.e., automated measurements and extraction of quantitative data from images of cells, provides valuable information for many types of biomedical analysis. There exists a number of different image analysis software packages that can be programmed to perform a wide array of useful measurements. However, the multi-application capability often compromises the simplicity of the tool. Also, the gain in speed of analysis is often compromised by time spent learning complicated software. We provide a free software called BlobFinder that is intended for a limited type of application, making it easy to use, easy to learn and optimized for its particular task. BlobFinder can perform batch processing of image data and quantify as well as localize cells and point like source signals in fluorescence microscopy images, e.g., from FISH, in situ PLA and padlock probing, in a fast and easy way.

    Role of fibre–fibre and fibre–matrix adhesion in stress transfer in composites made from resin-impregnated paper sheets2009In: International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives, ISSN 0143-7496, E-ISSN 1879-0127, Vol. 29, no 5, p. 551-557Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Paper-reinforced plastics are gaining increased interest as packaging materials, where mechanical properties are of great importance. Strength and stress transfer in paper sheets are controlled by fibre–fibre bonds. In paper-reinforced plastics, where the sheet is impregnated with a polymer resin, other stress-transfer mechanisms may be more important. The influence of fibre–fibre bonds on the strength of paper-reinforced plastics was therefore investigated. Paper sheets with different degrees of fibre–fibre bonding were manufactured and used as reinforcement in a polymeric matrix. Image analysis tools were used to verify that the difference in the degree of fibre–fibre bonding had been preserved in the composite materials. Strength and stiffness of the composites were experimentally determined and showed no correlation to the degree of fibre–fibre bonding, in contrast to the behaviour of unimpregnated paper sheets. The degree of fibre–fibre bonding is therefore believed to have little importance in this type of material, where stress is mainly transferred through the fibre–matrix interface.

    Vad är viktigast i staden?: Utveckling av ett lokaliseringsverktyg för stadsplanering2010Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This paper is part of the research programme ViSuCity, a programme with the goal of creating more sustainable urban planning through the development of better visual tools, which ultimately means better communication between various parties of public planning. The paper concerns the implementation of MCE into a 3D program for visualization. Multi criteria evaluation (MCE) is a technique that has been developed during the last 20 years. It merges GIS with AHP, forming a decision making tool for localization of, for example, new buildings.The result is an automated tool that enables advanced analysis of geographic areas.The tool has a very high potential due to the completely automated MCE and it is adapted for people without a technical background, let alone formal training in MCE. It provides great opportunities to test different scenarios, something that should be an important advantage. The incorporation of MCE into 3D models has made it easier for users to relate the maps to reality, since a detailed 3D model is very easily understood in terms of geographical placement. A brand new feature that has not previously been used is the ability to import new objects and give feedback to the analysis. A summary of research on the MCE underlines the current situation, that relatively little research exists surrounding the use and demand of MCE. This paper unfortunately contributes to this fact since no user studies have been done due to lack of time. This is something future research should focus on.

    Automated change detection of bleached coral reef areas2002In: Proceedings of 7th International Conference, Remote Sensing for Marine and Coastal Environments, 2002Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Recent dramatic bleaching events on coral reefs have enhanced the need for global environmental monitoring. This paper investigates the value of present high spatial resolution satellites to detect coral bleaching using a change detection technique. We compared an IRS LISS-III image taken during the 1998 bleaching event in Belize to images taken before the bleaching event. The sensitivity of the sensors was investigated and a simulation was made to estimate the effect of sub-pixel changes. A manual interpretation of coral bleaching, based on differences between the images, was performed and the outcome were compared to field observations. The spectral characteristics of the pixels corresponding to the field observations and the manually interpreted bleachings have been analysed and compared to pixels from unaffected areas.

    Computing and analysing convex deficiencies to characterise 3D complex objects2005In: Image and Vision Computing: Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery, Vol. 23, no 2, p. 203-211Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Entities such as object components, cavities, tunnels and concavities in 3D digital images can be useful in the framework of object analysis. For each object component, we first identify its convex deficiencies, by subtracting the object component from a covering polyhedron approximating the convex hull. Watershed segmentation is then used to decompose complex convex deficiencies into simpler parts, corresponding to individual cavities, concavities and tunnels of the object component. These entities are finally described by means of a representation system accounting for the shape features characterising them.

    3D Tracking of Cellulose Fibres in Volume Images2007In: IEEE International Conference on Image Processing, 2007. ICIP 2007., 2007, p. IV-309Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Segmentation of individual fibres in volume images is important when analysing the three dimensional (3D) fibre structure in paper and cellulose based composite materials. This paper presents a novel method for 3D tracking of individual fibres which can be used as a pre-segmentation step to a full cell wall segmentation or be used to estimate the fibre orientation. The tracking starts in one seed in each fibre and automatically extracts the local fibre orientation and the fibre centre point in each step using 3D information. Good results are obtained for cellulose fibres that are partially collapsed, cracked or irregularly shaped. The proposed method can also be used in other applications where tracking of tubular structures is of interest.

    Estimating 3D Fibre Orientation in Volume Images2008In: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, IEEE, 2008Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Fibre orientation is an important structural property of fibre-based materials. For example, in paper the orientation of the fibres influences the dimensional strength of the sheet and the tendency of the sheet to curl and twist at moisture changes. Here, we present a threedimensional image analysis method for estimating the fibre orientation and the orientation anisotropy. The proposed method can be applied directly to greyscale volume images and is based on local orientation estimates using quadrature filters and structure tensors. From the tensor field the fibre orientation can be estimated together with a corresponding certainty measurement. Good results are obtained for both synthetic fibre data sets and fibre based materials imaged using X-ray microtomography.

    3D pore structure characterisation of paper2010In: Pattern Analysis and Applications, ISSN 1433-7541, E-ISSN 1433-755X, Vol. 13, no 2, p. 159-172Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Pore structure characterisation of paper, using automated image analysis methods, has previously been performed in two-dimensional images. Three dimensional (3D) images have become available and thereby new representations and corresponding measurements are needed for 3D pore structure characterisation. In this article, we present a new pore structure representation, the individual pore-based skeleton, and new quantitative measurements for individual pores in 3D, such as surface area, orientation, anisotropy, and size distributions. We also present measurements for network relations, like tortuosity and connectivity. The data used to illustrate the pore structure representations and corresponding measurements are high resolution X-ray microtomography volume images of a layered duplex board imaged at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). Quantification of the pore structure is exemplified and the results show that differences in pore structure between the layers in the cardboard can be characterised using the presented methods.

    Reduction of Ring Artifacts in High Resolution X-Ray Microtomography Images2006In: Pattern Recognition: 28th DAGM Symposium, Berlin, Germany, September 2006, Proceedings, 2006, p. 61-70Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Ring artifacts can occur in reconstructed images from X-ray microtomography as full or partial circles centred on the rotation axis. In this paper, a 2D method is proposed that reduces these ring artifacts in the reconstructed images. The method consists of two main parts. First, the artifacts are localised in the image using local orientation estimation of the image structures and filtering to find ring patterns in the orientation information. Second, the map of the located artifacts is used to calculate a correction image using normalised convolution. The method is evaluated on 2D images from volume data of paper fibre imaged at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) with high resolution X-ray microtomography. The results show that the proposed method reduces the artifacts and restores the pixel values for all types of partial and complete ring artifacts where the signal is not completely saturated.

    Estimation of the pore volume at the interface between paper web and press felt2006In: Nordic Pulp & Paper Research Journal, ISSN 0283-2631, E-ISSN 2000-0669, Vol. 21, no 3, p. 395-402Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A method for determining the water content at the interface between a press felt and a paper web has been developed. The water content was obtained by subtracting the estimated volume of the indented fibre web from the measured felt surface porosity of the press felt. The felt surface porosity was calculated from a topography map that was imaged with a Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) method. Here, the press felt was compressed against a smooth surface using a stress in the range of 0 to 10 MPa. Artefacts in the CLSM images were reduced using an image analysis method. The indentation of paper webs into the measured felt surface pores at different applied pressures was estimated using another image analysis method, simulating a rolling ball, with different radii of curvature for the different pressures and grammages, rolling over the felt surface. The ball radii were determined for a low and a high grammage web using the STFI-Packforsk Dewatering model. The method was evaluated in a case study with four press felts that had batt fibre diameters in a range between 22 and 78 μm. The indentation was calculated for webs with a low (15 g/m2) and a high grammage (105 g/m2), respectively. The evaluation showed that a considerable amount of porespace is available at the interface between the web and the felt. In most cases, the volume of the water-filled pores accounted for approximately 50% of the total surface porosity of the felt. Assuming a complete water saturation of the web/felt interface, approximately 10 g/m2 of water for the finest felt surface up to 40 g/m2 for the coarsest felt surface, could be located at the interface between the press felt and the paper web at a load of 10 MPa. This implies that a considerable amount of water is available for separation rewetting.
