Existing models which describe crowd movement are running out of time and are failing to take the change of people’s characteristics into account. The purpose of this study is to determine the “state-of- the-art” regarding the research within the field of crowd movement and identify parameters that influence crowd movement. To do this, a scoping review was conducted and the articles that were foun
The phase center is defined as the point on an antenna from which the far field radiation seems to originate. Phase center calculations are often uncertain and vague, and very little concrete information is available on the subject. Recently, a replacement parameter called the radiation center was introduced in [5]. The radiation center is more rigorously defined than the phase center and possesses a
In this work, we intend to employ nanowires for the realisation of an artificial neuron which can be used to design a neural network that will guide the new generation of non-von Neumann architectures such as Neuromorphic Computing. Possible applications are strongly related to Neuromorphic architectures and artificial intelligence, such as high-performance computers, robotics hardware and autonom
The aim of this project is to design a solution to a payment system for people that have a diagnosis of intellectual disorder. This target group has problems with today’s payment system because it becomes successively more digital. With the digital solutions will the target group be excluded. I have been thinking of the question “What would happen if cash was removed as a payment system?”. I have
The grocery market in Sweden is mainly divided between six different retailers who together have some 95% market share. The rest of the market is divided between thousands of different actors, selling groceries in other ways than the main retailers. This 5% market is interesting to investigate and the purpose is to identify the opportunities and barriers for those alternative food distributers. B
SLU (Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet) har ett pågående projekt i ett område i södra Skåne sedan 1989 där de studerar hur bekämpningsmedel i åar korrelerar med vad som används på åkrarna. Ett nytt projekt, initierat av SGI (Statens Geotekniska Institut), kallat PEGASUS (PEsticide occurrence in Groundwater, A Study for sustainable Use in Skåne) har påbörjat en undersökning i samma område för att studeSLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) have had a project ongoing in a catchment area in southern Skåne for 20 years where they study how pesticide occurrence in surface waters correlate to the sort and amount used on the agricultural fields. A new project started by SGI (Swedish Geotechnical Institute) called PEGASUS (PEsticide occurrence in Groundwater, A Study for sustainable Use in
During the past decades there is a growing interest to include a cultural dimension in the debate on sustainable development. In this thesis I explore how culture, and more specifically the Flemish cultural sector, contributes to the transition to a sustainable society. By means of case studies, I examine how cultural organizations perceive their role in the transition process and how they transla
This thesis presents the work I did for the inclusive search for anomalous production of same charge lepton-pairs, originating from the collision point, at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using the 2012 data. I optimized the selection criteria for isolated electrons and muons, calculated the so-called "fake factors" and "fake factor" systematic uncertainties
Ultrasound optical tomography is a medical imaging modality that combines ultrasound and light to improve the low resolution of optical imaging caused by scattering in tissue. Photons passing through an ultrasound pulse have a probability of being frequency shifted. By filtering out these photons and analysing them, images with optical contrast and ultrasound resolution can be obtained. In this t
This thesis considers solitary standing wave solutions to the Davey-Stewart-son equation, which is a model for surface waves on a body of water in three dimensions. In a special case, the Davey-Stewartson equation is reduced to the well-known non-linear Schrödinger equation with cubic power which is known to have a countable familiy of radial standing waves. One of the aims of this thesis is to in
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to uncover what motivational factors exists for companies to use co-creational methods. It also aims to recognize what beneficial factors can come from using these methods. The restriction of using social media depending on industry or size of company will be reflected upon. The main research question is “What motivates companies to use customer co-creation a
The yield curve of a collection of debt contracts describes the yield of the debt contract as a function of the length-to-maturity of the contract. It turns out that these yield curves provide useful insight about the economy as a whole and can, for example, be used to predict short-term economic downturns. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that financial analysts and decision-makers are able
Safety, privacy and comfort are elements that need to be improved on Swedish shelters. Since several homeless individuals often share bedrooms, it is not uncommon for them to be exposed to violence, harassment and theft or a generally disturbing environment during their stay. These are all contributing factors to an increased difficulty in getting out of homelessness. Enfold is a flexible w
