[en] CONSTRUCTION OF PERCEPTUALLY UNIFORM EUCLIDEAN COLOR SPACES BASED ON THE CIEDE2000 FORMULA / [pt] CONSTRUÇÃO DE ESPAÇOS DE COR EUCLIDIANOS E PERCEPTUALMENTE UNIFORMES COM BASE NA FÓRMULA CIEDE2000

[pt] Nos últimos anos, diversas fórmulas de diferença de cores foram desenvolvidas para o espaço CIELAB, tais como CMC, CIE94 e CIEDE2000. Embora essas fórmulas obtenham maior precisão na medida perceptual entre cores, muitas aplicações não podem usufruir desta maior precisão, pois as distâncias euclidianas no CIELAB não são isométricas de acordo com essas novas fórmulas. Com isso, aplicações como gamut mapping e interpolação de cores precisam de um espaço de cores que seja isométrico em relação as fórmulas mais recentes de medição de diferenças de cores. Esse trabalho estuda o mapeamento do espaço CIELAB, em particular do plano ab deste espaço, sob a métrica da fórmula CIEDE2000, por meio de técnicas de escalonamento multidimensional, ou Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), tais como o ISOMAP e uma otimizaçãobaseada em Sammon Mapping. / [en] In recent years, various color difference formulas were developed for the CIELAB space, such as CMC, CIE94 and CIEDE2000. Although these formulas have achieved greater accuracy in perceptual measurement between colors, many applications cannot take advantage of this greater precision, because the Euclidean distances in CIELAB are not isometric in accordance with these new formulas. Thus, applications such as gamut mapping and color interpolation need a color space that is isometric in relation to the latest color difference formulas. This paper studies the mapping of the CIELAB space, particularly the ab plane of this space according to the metrics of the CIEDE2000 formula, through multidimensional scaling (MDS) techniques, more specifically ISOMAP and an optimization based on Sammon Mapping.

Individualization of fixed-dose combination regimens : Methodology and application to pediatric tuberculosis / Individualisering av design och dosering av kombinationstabletter : Metodologi och applicering inom pediatrisk tuberkulos

Yngman, Gunnar January 2015 (has links)
Introduction: No Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) formulations currently exist for pediatric tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Earlier work implemented, in the software NONMEM, a rational method for optimizing design and individualization of pediatric anti-TB FDC formulations based on patient body weight, but issues with parameter estimation, dosage strata heterogeneity and representative pharmacokinetics remained. Aim: To further develop the rational model-based methodology aiding the selection of appropriate FDC formulation designs and dosage regimens, in pediatric TB treatment. Materials and Methods: Optimization of the method with respect to the estimation of body weight breakpoints was sought. Heterogeneity of dosage groups with respect to treatment efficiency was sought to be improved. Recently published pediatric pharmacokinetic parameters were implemented and the model translated to MATLAB, where also the performance was evaluated by stochastic estimation and graphical visualization. Results: A logistic function was found better suited as an approximation of breakpoints. None of the estimation methods implemented in NONMEM were more suitable than the originally used FO method. Homogenization of dosage group treatment efficiency could not be solved. MATLAB translation was successful but required stochastic estimations and highlighted high densities of local minima. Representative pharmacokinetics were successfully implemented. Conclusions: NONMEM was found suboptimal for the task due to problems with discontinuities and heterogeneity, but a stepwise method with representative pharmacokinetics were successfully implemented. MATLAB showed more promise in the search for a method also addressing the heterogeneity issue.
