I mitt exjobb har jag programmerat en partikelsimulator vid forskningsanläggningen ESS. Partikelsimulatorn håller reda på var partiklarna är och vart de är på väg i partikelacceleratorn.For this thesis I have programmed and tested a particle simulator. It was coded in the Python programming language. In this simulator, both linear and non-linear elements can be used. The design philosophy was to make the program object-oriented for easy addition of new element types with a modular result. The Python language allowed for a smooth implementation and kept the code clear. In order to

Sustainability research builds upon its mutual relationship with the society to find futureoriented solutions to deal with societal challenges. In other words, it is a matter of research to produce societal impact. Furthermore, funders and researchers themselves increasingly desire for accountability, to show if societal impact is achieved. To deal with that, two adaptive questions have to be answ

This thesis evaluates the use of screen space reflections combined with a deep G-buffer in computer graphics applications. Both visual inspection of rendered images and computational methods are used to evaluate the quality and performance of the reflections. Rendering reflections using screen space methods is generally faster than rendering them with other methods. The main drawback is that only

Estimation of GPP in Sudan using the evaporative fraction as water stress factor The Gross Primary Production "GPP" quantifies the amount of carbon entering an ecosystem. It is an ecosystem service since it is a source of energy for all organisms and it is estimated to reduce atmospheric CO2 in about 123 Pg C per year at the global scale. Therefore, the improvement of estimation methods
