Naturally I'm going to say that Chalmers University of Technology is the best university, since that's where I am, but some people say that KTH Royal Institute of Technology is just as good.
I've never visited any other university. There are some other universities with good reputations, but these two I think are the largest/most respected. I think you should consider where you want to live perhaps, in Stockholm or Gothenburg.
@Sektor You might also take a look at what master programmes the different universities have. Their names aren't "signal processing", "medical imaging" and so on but more general like "Complex Adaptive Systems" or "Fundamental physics"
@Öskå Damn, that is pretty. I really think of KTH and Chalmers as equals. There are other good universities too I think you'll agree, I just don't know a lot about them :)
@blochwave @Sektor I basically have +200 xray DICOM and JPG images of my head (starting from my nose to the top of my head) and the two images are different, so I was wondering what has been done on to the DICOM images to turn into the JPG ones. DICOM on the left, JPG on the right: i.xomf.com/fsmkc.png
Then I'm considering trying a multiplanar reconstruction with these +200 images to have my wannabe 3D skull.
I'm sorry, I took the grumpy face slice of my brain :P
Well, something has been done in order to transform the DICOM graphics to the JPG one. They don't really look the same, the grumpy face is much clearer on the right picture
so I'm trying to get the right image from the left one with Mathematica
@blochwave I think they both are 16bits so that shouldn't the the difference. I have no idea about the log.. :/ @Pickett Quite close indeed, but the grumpy face is not as dark as the first one :/ Details are not as clear I'm afraid @Sektor I doubt you have a lawyer able to do the trade in legality :P Medical images are quite personal I'm afraid :p
@Pickett mh, they are basically the same :o I tried to play with brightness and contrast this morning but I didn't have that. What are the coefficient?
@Öskå Yeah I imagine you will not need to do that once you play with it. But if you needed to, you can upsample by averaging pixel values with ImageApply
I’m an electrical engineer by training. In my first circuits class, all calculations were done by hand, and we could check solutions with unintuitive circuit simulators using the SPICE methodology. With SystemModeler I think it’s easier than ever to get started building virtual circuits and trying what-if scenarios for electrical circuits and systems. In this [...]
@Öskå pfft, that's nothing. I was an undergraduate in the building on the right of this and I did my PhD on its sister masterpiece on the left
From close up, the one on the right is actually covered in green bathroom tiles.
And I can see the window of one of my old offices on the left. It was facing a blast door on the building under the camera. This was literal: you could hear explosions from in there at random intervals (I guess it was a wind tunnel or something).
@mfvonh it's situated in south kensington, next to hyde park and the royal albert hall. The Royal Albert Hall is across the street to the green building (the Blackett Laboratory), right off the right edge of the frame. I used to smoke on its front steps between lectures
It's pretty exquisite for about 3 months out of the year
No doubt because we are the most illustrious institution human civilization has ever established. Just ask our administrators and the people who set the tuition.
@mfvonh Yes well I know (knew) someone who, upon not doing terribly well at his exams, was encouraged to transfer to a "lesser" institution. That's the word they used.
@mfvonh Sweden has a few large universities like that.
@mfvonh In that same city there is also Stockholm University who have 70000 students, of which 29000 study full time. 1400 are exchange students. So education is a pretty big business...
@Pickett I am always so surprised by how large some European schools are. My undergraduate was at the second largest school in the US by enrollment with 60000
I don't know how it works out though. In my undergraduate program we were only 60 people, there are about ten difference programmes. So that works out to 600. Times three years, that equals 1800 students. Add two year master students to that, that makes for another 1200 students for a total of 4000 students. So what kind of students are all the rest? We are supposed to have 11 000 students... so the numbers seem very large to me too.
@mfvonh In the case of Stockholm University like I said only 29000 were full time students. The rest might just have registered for a course or two (studying language as a part time hobby or something like that.)
@mfvonh The US has a tradition of having private universities that compete with each other. In Sweden I think all universities but Chalmers are owned by the state, and less competition could potentially lead to larger universities I guess... but this is just speculation.
