This thesis revolves around the problem of solving the structure and motion problem in computer vision. This is the problem of reconstructing the world, the structure, from images taken by a number of cameras undergoing an unknown motion. Much of the thesis is centred on the problem of finding initial estimates of the structure and the motion using a small set of image data. These initial estimate

This dissertation deals with the question of why and how the issue of workers' education came to be part of both bourgeois and working class formation during the second half of the 19th century and how it contributed to the shaping of new social relations. The theoretical perspective is based on the concept of hegemony indicating that a leading class has to establish and maintain its leadership by

This thesis consists of five papers (A-E). In Paper A, we study transient properties of the queue length process in various queueing settings. We focus on computing the mean and the Laplace transform of the time required for the queue length starting at $x

The magnitude and availability of surface waters in the arid/semi-arid Sudanese Red Sea region has been examined. In conjunction with the research objective, opinions and methodologies applied by previous researchers have been assessed. The study applied a geographical hydrological synthesis within a GIS framework. As a system with advanced geo-modelling capabilities, GIS is used to integrate spat

A study of fouling of ultrafiltration membranes due to adsorption of a fatty acid in the membrane matrix has been done. Octanoic acid was used as a model substance. It has been shown that a low-molecular-weight hydrophobic solute can have detrimental effects on the flux of hydrophobic ultrafiltration membranes even though the size of the solute is much smaller than the cut-off of the membrane and

Rapportens syftar till att granska förekomsten av eventuellt signifikant samband mellan resultatmanipulering och börsintroduktion för svenska företag samt därmed bidra till att reducera det rådande forskningsgapet på den svenska marknaden. Dessutom ämnades eventuella utmärkande egenskaper för företag som manipulerar resultatet på svenska marknaden att studeras, genom tillämpning av modifierade Jon

The purpose of this thesis is to describe how physicians are affected by and deal with conflicting interests between patients and superiors, regarding personal ethics and cost-effectiveness measures, using agency theory. More specifically, how superiors might affect given care by attempting to control the physician’s performance in the pursuit of saving money, while patients want the best treatmen

Undersökningen är gjord med inriktning mot arbetslivs- och organisationspsykologi i syfte att studera förekomst av härskartekniker samt hur andra faktorer, som arbetsengagemang, påverkas. Studien kommer att diskutera hur psykosociala faktorer och fysiska arbetsmiljöer kan främjas, samt ge vetenskapligt underbyggda förslag på hur arbetsgivare kan arbeta för att förhindra att härskartekniker förekom

Följ med nallebjörnen Ted, och hans blomma, på ett äventyr i solsystemet. Tillsammans utforskar vi förhållanden på olika planeter, och upptäcker var bästa förhållandena finns för Ted att plantera sin blomma. Vi besöker Solen, Merkurius, Venus, dvärgplaneten Pluto, Mars Jorden och Månen. Vi flyger även förbi gasjättarna i vårt solsystem: Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus och Neptunus.Detta är en interaJoin the teddy bear Ted, and his companion Plant, on an adventure around the Solar System investing different places and how they affect us. Together we can learn about Mercury, Venus, the Earth and its Moon, Mars, the dwarf planet Pluto and the giant planets in the outer Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.This is an interactive show. The children are encouraged to sing along wit

Sweden's decision to reopen arms exports to Turkiye in the context of the NATO process has provoked strong reactions and raised a familiar dilemma: how does a state balance its security policy interests against its ethical principles? This paper aims to investigate how different actors such as politicians, researchers, security policy experts and civil society representatives argue for and aga

The aim of this present thesis is to present the Utopian scheme in Elin Wägner’s novels of the nineteen-thirties: Dialogen fortsätter (1932) (“The Dialogue Continues”), Mannen vid min sida (1933) (“The Man by my Side”), Genomskådad (1937) (“Unmasked”) and Hemlighetsfull (1938) (“Mysterious”). With her authorship Wägner was aiming for a new social order, a radical change, polväxling (a shift of pol

The protein folding and protein design problems are addressed, using coarse-grained models with only two types of amino acids, hydrophobic and hydrophilic. In addition to hydrophobicity forces, the models contain sequence-independent local interactions which are found to strongly influence the thermodynamics of these models. The models are studied using the dynamical-parameter Monte Carlo method.

I denna samling om fyra essäer behandlas Gunnar Ekelöf och hans poesi utifrån intermediala perspektiv, det vill säga frågeställningar rörande konstarternas och mediers interrelationer. Innehållsförteckningen ser ut som sådan: * Anders Mortensen: Om konsten och konsterna hos Gunnar Ekelöf * Annette Fryd: “Är inte de schizofrena ett slags atavistiska återfall?” Skizofreni og tolkningens greb i G
