Published: February 2023

Precise positioning using smartphones has been a topic of interest especially after Google decided to provide raw GNSS measurement through their Android platform. Currently, the greatest limitations in precise positioning with smartphone Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sensors are the quality and availability of satellite-to-smartphone ranging measurements. Many papers have assessed the quality of GNSS pseudorange and carrier-phase measurements in various environments. In addition, there is growing research in the inclusion of a priori information to model signal blockage, multipath, etc. In this contribution, numerical estimation of actual range errors in smartphone GNSS precise positioning in realistic environments is performed using a geodetic receiver as a reference. The range errors are analyzed under various environments and by placing smartphones on car dashboards and roofs. The distribution of range errors and their correlation to prefit residuals is studied in detail. In addition, a comparison of range errors between different constellations is provided, aiming to provide insight into the quantitative understanding of measurement behavior. This information can be used to further improve measurement quality control, and optimize stochastic modeling and position estimation processes.

Background: Many independent studies have found rare variants associated with AD. Current gene-based tests for rare-variants generally consider the impact of low-frequency coding variants as an independent effect from the common regulatory variants that surround them. In this work, we propose to increase the statistical power of kernel-based rare-variant association tests by accounting for the surrounding cis-regulatory variants' effects on gene expression.

Background: With the increasing number of potential interventions for Alzheimer's Disease (AD), there is a growing need to detect meaningful cognitive changes early in the disease. Frequent passive monitoring of smartphone behaviour, such as typing speed and precision, can give insight into the cognitive changes in AD. In the 'A personalized Medicine Approach for AD' (ABOARD)-project we investigated the reliability and validity of typing behaviour to monitor cognition in people with and without AD.

Background: The structural, cellular, and biomolecular research necessary for a mechanistic understanding of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) relies on brain tissue collected according to a brain sampling protocol (BSP) and preserved in biorepositories. Such research involves discipline-specific terminology such as cytoarchitectonic domains, brain network nodes, etc. This specificity can result in iterative, time-consuming, and error-prone request processes.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) causes increasing cognitive and functional impairments, and both are therefore important outcome measures for intervention studies. Cognition and everyday functioning are often used interchangeably, yet the extent of their relationship is still unclear. We therefore aim to assess the relationship between different cognitive domains and everyday functioning across the AD spectrum.

Background: Assessment of cognition in older Chinese Americans currently relies on content-translated instruments with limited considerations for logographic (vs. alphabetic) nature of Chinese, cultural experience (pre- and post-immigration), speech rate, and multilingualism. This results in confusion between fluency tasks, systematic error in digit span, disparate familiarity with stimuli according to country of origin (e.
