For someone who has undergone an amputation, it is important to be able to decide what the prosthesis should look like. Since many people today choose to have some sort of cover on their prosthesis, either to fill the void or to regain the feeling of a leg, it is very important that it is something that the user feels comfortable with. To go through an amputation is often a very shocking event
This thesis examines and compares spontaneous metaphor usage in conversations within and between generations. It investigates to what extent they can be seen as motivated by bodily, conventional and situated factors with the help of the Motivation and Sedimentation Model (MSM), which operates with these three levels of meaning. The model combines and integrates earlier accounts of metaphor motivat
Shifting between living places has become a common routine for many people all over the world. On the other hand, some people like students and commuting workers move only temporary, where the feeling of home and simplicity of moving to a new place might be challenged. The starting-point for this project was to investigate if objects can make it easier to move from place to place both emotion
INTRODUCTION: Using Swedish nationwide registry data, we investigated the contribution of genetic and environmental risk factors to the etiology of smoking status across stages of pregnancy with increasing degrees of social and psychological pressure to reduce or quit smoking, by twin and sibling modeling. AIMS AND METHODS: Smoking status was available before, and during early and late pregnancy f
A company is developing a new product for transporting temperature-sensitive liquids long distances. The new device will have an active cooling unit with very precise temperature regulation. This will increase the transportation time compared to conventional methods. This report will only concern the structural parts of the product, since development of the temperature control system has been done
The goal of this study was to investigate if a new deaeration machine was more efficient than the current deaeration machine used at Akzo Nobel. The results showed that the deaeration of the black tinter with the new machine went successful with less than 2 % air content in the tinter. This tinter was only deaerated with the new machine and the efficiency between the new and current machine could
The subject of deep learning has become increasingly popular, especially for machine learning applications where a large number of input variables have to be processed. However, there are instances of problem solving, where a full understanding of the variables is of high importance. When dealing with data sets containing a large number of input variables, the established methods of feature select
The B-format is an audio format capable of reproducing full spherical surround audio, meaning sounds can appear as if coming from any direction around the listener. This thesis investigates an approach to quantify and manipulate the spatial information carried in B-format audio signals. It describes an analysis method and a corresponding model for quantifying the spatial data. Two types of appli
Products of Axis Communications, mostly premium class cameras and wall mounts, have previously been installed on trusses. However, Axis has not provided any means of installation so it has been up to the installers to create their own solutions. This report describes the research and development of Axis first truss mount. The aim of the master thesis was to both study the environment of the produ
Förarapplikationer används i allt större utsträckning hos yrkesförare för att stödja företags ruttplanering, orderhantering, dokumentation och intern/extern kommunikation. När förare behöver läsa, tolka och/eller interagera med information i situationer kopplade till körning kan dessa system även skapa visuell, manuell och kognitiv distraktion, vilket ökar risken för trafikrelaterade skador. DettaDriver applications are increasingly used in professional driving to support route planning, order management, documentation, and communication. When drivers need to read, interpret, or interact with information in close proximity to driving, these systems can also create visual, manual, and cognitive distractions, increasing traffic safety risk. This master's thesis was conducted in collabora
In this paper, we present a new generic Structure-From-Motion pipeline, GenSfM, that uses a non-parametric camera projection model. The model is self-calibrated during the reconstruction process and can fit a wide variety of cameras, ranging from simple low-distortion pinhole cameras to more extreme optical systems such as fisheye or catadioptric cameras. The key component in our framework is an a
We face closely intertwined crises related to biodiversity, climate change, global health andinequality. Unfortunately, the knowledge that could help overcome these existential crises isscattered across millions of scientific articles, reports, policy documents, databases, andindividual datasets, far exceeding human processing capabilities. This hinders evidence-basedresearch, innovation and polic
In architecture and urban geography, discussions on repair, maintenance and adap5ve re-usehave emerged as a crucial intellectual terrain. Temporal aspects of how the urban fabric isused have also emerged as an issue worth theore5cal and empirical a=en5on. Latching ontothese themes, we will present work tracking the history of conten5on around the publiclyowned mee5ng and arts venue in Lund’s Peopl
Solving partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) typically requires reasoning about the values of exponentially many state beliefs. Towards practical performance, state-of-the-art solvers use value bounds to guide this reasoning. However, sound upper value bounds are often computationally expensive to compute, and there is a tradeoff between the tightness of such bounds and their co
