In this paper we study structure from motion problems for parallel cylinders. Using sparse keypoint correspondences is an efficient (and standard) way to solve the structure from motion problem. However, point features are sometimes unavailable and they can be unstable over time and viewing conditions. Instead, we propose a framework based on silhouettes of quadric surfaces, with special emphasis

Finding a suitable way to represent information in a dataset is one of the fundamental problems in Artificial Intelligence. With limited labeled information, unsupervised learning algorithms help to discover useful representations. One of the applications of such models is imputation, where missing values are estimated by learning the underlying correlations in a dataset. This thesis explores two

Abstract Biocatalysis is considered as benign and efficient alternative to chemical catalysis for organic syntheses. Lipases are the most versatile biological catalysts implemented so far with great potential for production of different chemicals and materials in non-conventional reaction media. This thesis presents investigations on lipase catalyzed esterification and transesterification reaction

Purpose: To evaluate and increase the efficiency of the internal processes by clearly visualizing the information flow and present improvement suggestions at Vestas Northern Europe.
Problem definition: To clearly define what information is shared today, identify where the critical interfaces take place and where vital information is lost.
Method: This study takes a her

Among foreign-born women there is a significant employment gap compared to native women as well as foreign-born men. At the same time public institutions have been deemed as unable to deliver labor market integration efforts that are adapted to the needs of foreign-born women, which has been pointed out as a necessity. In this context, civil society-municipal partnerships have been recognized as a

Problem: HIV/AIDS is one of the most challenging health and development issues of modern times. This study takes place in Ghana, which is one of the countries that have made progress in the HIV/AIDS work during the last years. Information of HIV infection and prevention has increased in Ghana within the past few years, but behaviour change is yet a big issue to face and condom use remains low, esp

Risk assessment is a useful tool to inform decision-making when it comes to ensuring the continuous operation of critical societal functions. It can be used on many levels within an organization or on multiple societal levels. One way to conduct risk assessments on a higher system level, such as on national level, is to aggregate risk information from lower-level assessments, e.g. from the regiona

25 april 2026 21:30 | Konsert INTONAL 2026 Music has always been an abstract art (architecture of time, phrasing, relation to the memory and perception of the listener) and expressive art (diversified relationships to a text, to imagination, to external elements, to the psychological self, to Spirituality). What I try is to reintroduce this expressivity in technological music. Among other things,

Immunsystemet håller oss friska och kan på ett kontrollerat sätt öka sin aktivitet (inflammation) för att bekämpa infektioner. Om inflammationen i luftvägarna är överdriven och långvarig kan det skada lungvävnaden och leda till bindvävsombyggnad (fibros), infektionskänslighet och försämrad lungfunktion. I projektet undersöker vi nyckelmekanismer som kan användas för att begränsa vävnadsskadan i luThe immune system keeps us healthy and upon infection, its activity is upregulated in a strictly controled manner (i.e. inflammation) to eradicate invading pathogens. Excessive and long-standing inflammation cause tissue injury, subsequently resulting in remodeling (fibrosis), vulnerability to acquire infections, and respiratory failure. In the project, we characterize key mechanisms of importance

With their potential to effectively address multiple urban sustainability challenges, the emerging policy discourse on nature-based solutions seeks to encourage the development of multifunctional nature for sustainable and just cities. Nature-based solutions, however, are vulnerable to co-option by powerful interests in ways that limit their contribution to a broad range of sustainability goals. R
