This Master thesis tackles the problem of measuring objects’ directions from a motionlessobservation point. A new method based on a single rotating camera requiring the knowledge ofonly two (or more) landmarks’ direction is proposed. In a first phase, multi-view geometry isused to estimate camera rotations and key elements’ direction from a set of overlapping images.Then in a second phase, the direction of any object can be estimated by resectioning the cameraassociated to a picture showing this object. A detailed description of the algorithmic chain isgiven, along with test results on both synthetic data and real images taken with an infraredcamera. / Detta masterarbete behandlar problemet med att mäta objekts riktningar från en fastobservationspunkt. En ny metod föreslås, baserad på en enda roterande kamera som kräverendast två (eller flera) landmärkens riktningar. I en första fas används multiperspektivgeometri,för att uppskatta kamerarotationer och nyckelelements riktningar utifrån en uppsättningöverlappande bilder. I en andra fas kan sedan riktningen hos vilket objekt som helst uppskattasgenom att kameran, associerad till en bild visande detta objekt, omsektioneras. En detaljeradbeskrivning av den algoritmiska kedjan ges, tillsammans med testresultat av både syntetisk dataoch verkliga bilder tagen med en infraröd kamera.

Several seemingly conflicting sets of data have been reported on the regenerative capacity of central noradrenergic neurons, following transection of the ascending noradrenergic fiber tract in neonatal rats (Iacovitti et al., Dev Brain Res 1: 21-33, 1981; Jonsson and Sachs, Brain Res Bull 9: 641-650, 1982). In order to more fully investigate changes in noradrenergic neurons in the brain after such a transection, rats were lesioned at various times after birth, sometimes in conjunction with administration of the neurotoxin, 6-hydroxydopa (6-OHDOPA). Animals were sacrifced at 7, 10, 14, 28, 42 or 56 days after birth, in order to assess the pattern of noradrenergic neuronal damage, as well as the recovery rate. Dorsal bundle lesions were associated with neocortical and hippocampal hypoinnervation by noradrenergic fibers, and sprouting of a collateral fiber group, with production of noradrenergic hyperinnervation of the cerebellum and pons-medulla. Recovery of the norepinephrine (NE) content to control levels occurred in the neocortex at 8 weeks, when the dorsal bundle was lesioned at birth. When the lesion was produced at a later time (3 days or 5 days after birth), less recovery in the neocortex and hippocampus was found. Histofluorescent fiber number, as observed with a glyoxylic acid method, correlated with NE changes. It appears that 6-OHDOPA (20 μg/g IP) does not modify long-term recovery from a dorsal bundle lesion, when rats are co-treated at 3 days after birth. However, the length of the proximal noradrenergic fiber stump may be an important factor affecting the capacity for recovery from injury. These results suggest that a shorter fiber stump, as produced with a dorsal bundle lesion at the level of the pons, may be associated with a greater degree of recovery from injury. Also, the younger the rat at the time of injury, the greater appears to be the capacity for regeneration. These results demonstrate that regeneration can occur in one part of the brain without modification of a collateral hyperinnervation of a different part of the brain. Therefore, our findings discount a programming of central noradrenergic fibers to express a specific number of nerve terminal arborizations, (i.e., the "pruning hypothesis").

This thesis introduces approaches providing scalable delay-/disruption-tolerant routing capabilities in scheduled space topologies. The solution is developed for the requirements derived from use cases built according to predictions for future space topology, like the future Mars communications architecture report from the interagency operations advisory group. A novel routing algorithm is depicted to provide optimized networking performance that discards the scalability issues inherent to state-of-the-art approaches. This thesis also proposes a new recommendation to render volume management concerns generic and easily exchangeable, including a new simple management technique increasing volume awareness accuracy while being adaptable to more particular use cases. Additionally, this thesis introduces a more robust and scalable approach for internetworking between subnetworks to increase the throughput, reduce delays, and ease configuration thanks to its high flexibility.:1 Introduction 1.1 Motivation 1.2 Problem statement 1.3 Objectives 1.4 Outline 2 Requirements 2.1 Use cases 2.2 Requirements 2.2.1 Requirement analysis 2.2.2 Requirements relative to the routing algorithm 2.2.3 Requirements relative to the volume management 2.2.4 Requirements relative to interregional routing 3 Fundamentals 3.1 Delay-/disruption-tolerant networking 3.1.1 Architecture 3.1.2 Opportunistic and deterministic DTNs 3.1.3 DTN routing 3.1.4 Contact plans 3.1.5 Volume management 3.1.6 Regions 3.2 Contact graph routing 3.2.1 A non-replication routing scheme 3.2.2 Route construction 3.2.3 Route selection 3.2.4 Enhancements and main features 3.3 Graph theory and DTN routing 3.3.1 Mapping with DTN objects 3.3.2 Shortest path algorithm 3.3.3 Edge and vertex contraction 3.4 Algorithmic determinism and predictability 4 Preliminary analysis 4.1 Node and contact graphs 4.2 Scenario 4.3 Route construction in ION-CGR 4.4 Alternative route search 4.4.1 Yen’s algorithm scalability 4.4.2 Blocking issues with Yen 4.4.3 Limiting contact approaches 4.5 CGR-multicast and shortest-path tree search 4.6 Volume management 4.6.1 Volume obstruction 4.6.2 Contact sink 4.6.3 Ghost queue 4.6.4 Data rate variations 4.7 Hierarchical interregional routing 4.8 Other potential issues 5 State-of-the-art and related work 5.1 Taxonomy 5.2 Opportunistic and probabilistic approaches 5.2.1 Flooding approaches 5.2.2 PROPHET 5.2.3 MaxProp 5.2.4 Issues 5.3 Deterministic approaches 5.3.1 Movement-aware routing over interplanetary networks 5.3.2 Delay-tolerant link state routing 5.3.3 DTN routing for quasi-deterministic networks 5.3.4 Issues 5.4 CGR variants and enhancements 5.4.1 CGR alternative routing table computation 5.4.2 CGR-multicast 5.4.3 CGR extensions 5.4.4 RUCoP and CGR-hop 5.4.5 Issues 5.5 Interregional routing 5.5.1 Border gateway protocol 5.5.2 Hierarchical interregional routing 5.5.3 Issues 5.6 Further approaches 5.6.1 Machine learning approaches 5.6.2 Tropical geometry 6 Scalable schedule-aware bundle routing 6.1 Overview 6.2 Shortest-path tree routing for space networks 6.2.1 Structure 6.2.2 Tree construction 6.2.3 Tree management 6.2.4 Tree caching 6.3 Contact segmentation 6.3.1 Volume management interface 6.3.2 Simple volume manager 6.3.3 Enhanced volume manager 6.4 Contact passageways 6.4.1 Regional border definition 6.4.2 Virtual nodes 6.4.3 Pathfinding and administration 7 Evaluation 7.1 Methodology 7.1.1 Simulation tools 7.1.2 Simulator extensions 7.1.3 Algorithms and scenarios 7.2 Offline analysis 7.3 Eliminatory processing pressures 7.4 Networking performance 7.4.1 Intraregional unicast routing tests 7.4.2 Intraregional multicast tests 7.4.3 Interregional routing tests 7.4.4 Behavior with congestion 7.5 Requirement fulfillment 8 Summary and Outlook 8.1 Conclusion 8.2 Future works 8.2.1 Next development steps 8.2.2 Contact graph routing

Although insult of the developing noradrenergic neuronal system in the brain has been associated with redistribution of noradrenergic fiber input to various target brain regions, few studies have investigated the effects of such insults on locus coeruleus cell survival. In the present study the dorsal noradrenergic bundle was transected by means of a midbrain knife cut in rats 3 days after birth, and the effects of this lesion were determined approximately 8-10 weeks later. Bymeans of an immunofluorescent histochemical procedure. it was shown that tyrosine hydroxylase-containing fibers and dopamine β-hydroxylase-containing fibers were markedly reduced in number in the neocortex and hippocampus - regions anterograde to the site of axonal transection. It was further demonstrated that the number of fluorescent fibers coursing through the dorsal bundle was similarly reduced. Sprouting of noradrenergic fibers in the brainstem and cerebellum accompanied the above alterations. When locus coeruleus cell number was determined by counting Cresyl violet-stained nucleoli in serial sections it was found that dorsal bundle transection produced a loss of 17% of the cells of the coeruleus. By dividing the counts for each nucleus into fifths, it was additionally found that approximately 20-25% of those cells comprising the midportion of the nucleus, along a rostrocaudal axis, were the ones destroyed by axonal transection. These findings indicate that a neonatal lesion of the dorsal bundle produces a loss of cells in the midportion of the nucleus locus coeruleus, and that this effect is associated with noradrenergic neuronal hyperinnervation of the brainstem and cerebellum.
