There is a growing interest in probabilistic numerical solutions to ordinary differential equations. In this paper, the maximum a posteriori estimate is studied under the class of ν times differentiable linear time-invariant Gauss–Markov priors, which can be computed with an iterated extended Kalman smoother. The maximum a posteriori estimate corresponds to an optimal interpolant in the reproducin
Importance: Long-term follow-up after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is of interest given that longitudinal data on mortality and durability of transcatheter heart valves are limited. The REPRISE III (Repositionable Percutaneous Replacement of Stenotic Aortic Valve Through Implantation of Lotus Valve System-Randomized Clinical Evaluation) randomized clinical trial compared the mecha
Malignant melanoma is one of the most aggressive tumors which often gives metastasis to distant organs thereby limiting the chances of survival. Brain metastasis occurs in nearly half of the advanced tumors. In order to improve outcome early diagnosis is important. The discovery and better understanding of genetic and epigenetic changes is essential for developing new effective therapies, which ca
The proportion of public procurement is nowadays more than substantial; it amounts to all the goods and services that the State, perceived as both: central and local administrations, demands in order to assure the effective and sustainable functioning of the society. Moreover, as the procurement procedures aim at simultaneously achieving best value for money and high standards in non-financial mat
Understanding how asset classes and systematic strategies behave and perform during different macroeconomic environments is essential for an efficient asset allocation process. The aim of this thesis is to find a method to systematize the current understanding of the relationship between asset performance and environments. We will present a way to define different macroeconomic environments, asses
Tillgång till tillräckliga mängder vatten av god kvalitet är en väsentlig resurs för samhället. Det behövs för mänsklig konsumtion, för produktion i industrin, för fisket, etcetera. Det är därför mycket oroande att vattenkvaliteten i Europeiska unionen successivt försämras. Östersjön som är mycket påverkad av övergödning kan nämnas som ett exempel. Övergödning orsakas av utsläpp av näringsämnen iThe supply of good quality water is an essential resource for society. It is needed for human consumption, for production processes in the industry, for fishing, etcetera. The fact that the quality of waters within the European Union is continuously deteriorating is therefore of major concern. One example is the Baltic Sea, which is heavily affected by eutrophication. Eutrophication is caused b
Den här studien undersöker hur egenskrivna och/eller lånade idéer kan användas som metod för att utveckla improvisationsförmågan hos elever på estetiska programmet med trumset som huvudinstrument. Studiens deltagare har efter givna ramar fått i uppgift att planera och sedan framföra egna trumsolo-sekvenser, i syfte att fylla på den egna musikaliska verktygslådan med solistiska verktyg. Den här stuThis study examines how original and/or borrowed ideas can be used as a method for high school students with drum profile to develop and improve their ability to improvise. The students of this study have been instructed to prepare and to play drum solo sequences based on certain limitations, in order to fill their musical toolbox with new solistic tools. This study is based on qualitative intervi
The terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum is an important research area allowing insights into fundamental science such as inter-molecular interactions, and with applications in the environmental, medical and security field. Using femtosecond lasers, it is possible to design compact and efficient terahertz generation schemes, resulting in few-cycle broadband pulses. This master thesis i
Att Spåra Gammastrålar med en Gammakamera Gammastrålar produceras av både radioaktiva material och kosmiska objekt, så som supernovor och neutronstjärnor. Gammastrålar består av fotoner, precis som synligt ljus, men har mycket högre energi. Att kunna spåra gammastrålar är användbart inom allt från medicinteknik, till samhällsskydd, och även inom många olika forskningsområden. Fotoner kan interag
Bakgrund: Detta projekt undersöker om det är möjligt att utveckla en kalibreringsmodell utifrån spektroskopiska mätningar i det nära infraröda (NIR) området, för bestämning av mängden och typen av fiberfraktioner i proteinpulver producerat från baljväxten alfalfa, utan att utföra våtexperiment. Alfalfa benämnas även Medicago sativa och lucerne, men kallas inom detta projekt alfalfa. En sådan typ aBackground: This project investigates if it is possible to develop a calibration model from near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic measurements, for determination of the amount and type of fibre fractions within protein powder produced from the legume alfalfa, without performing wet experiments. Alfalfa is also known as Medicago sativa and lucerne, but is in this project further referred to as alfalfa.
Born into the context of tense geopolitical competition, the Global Gateway Initiative has shown the motivation of the European Union to take on a more ambitious role as a global actor. A trend in the academic literature hints at a shift towards a more pragmatic and geopolitically oriented paradigm in the EU´s foreign policy. In order to investigate how the EU envisions its own role, this pap
This report details the process and result of developing a mathematical inventory control model to be use by AQ Electric Suzhou. The mathematical model was written in Microsoft Excels inherent programming language Visual Basic and utilizes printouts such as sales history, bill of materials, component data etc. from AQ Electric Suzhous ERP system Monitor to derive a demand history for each componen
Syftet med examensarbetet är att hjälpa ett företag med att införa standardlittera för deras prefabricerade betongelement som ingår i deras Konceptet. Införandet av standardlittera ska resultera till att återfinna och gruppera deras betongelement i CAD-systemen. We did our thesis project at one of the most prestigious Swedish construction companies. We have examined the possibilities of doing sand
This project is set at the crossing of two burning topics of our time: the often ignored problematics of displaced people around the world; and the recently much more debated question of global warming. That these seemingly diverse thematics are deeply connected with each other becomes clear just by reading the IPCC* report from 2007 on global warming. As this report suggests, the real danger lies
Denna undersökning är en fallstudie av hur nio elever i årskurs nio och deras lärare har arbetat med musikskapande. Momentet musikskapande förekommer ytterst sparsamt i musikundervisningen i svenska grundskolor, trots att det enligt kursplanen ska bedömas. Denna undersökning genomfördes på en skola där musikskapande utförs i stor omfattning, alltså en skola som sticker ut. Syftet var att undersökaThis is a case study of how nine ninth grade students and their music teacher have been working with composition. The element of composition is very uncommon in Swedish elementary schools, in spite of the fact that it should be a part of the assessment. This study is conducted in a school where they work extensivley with composition. The aim was to study the students and the teachers’ view on the
