The wildlife park Kolmården in Norrköping, Sweden, asked for a device that could visually feedback how dolphins use their ultrasound signals while echolocating objects. By recording the sound from the dolphin, process the sound and then create a visual feedback by having LED's flash in different frequencies, depending on the distance between dolphin and device. The purpose of the device is havVisual response to dolphin echolocation It is well known that dolphins use echolocation but how about watching what actually happens? A device that shows the audience some of the information contained within the emitted ultrasonic waves. It is a small fish look-alike device that is created to simulate how the dolphins behave while hunting. By picking up the echolocation signals sent out from the

Improving Contactless Palm Print Recognition Technology Biometric technologies, such as facial and fingerprint recognition, have become widely used for identity verification in various applications. An- other promising biometric solution is palm biometrics, which utilizes the unique patterns found on the human palm for accurate and secure iden- tification. This thesis focuses on investigating and

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is currently the second most common neurodegenerative disorder (after Alzheimer’s disease). PD is diagnosed on its motor symptoms, which include akinesia, bradykinesia, rigidity, postural imbalance and resting tremor. It is well established that the motor symptoms develop due to lack of dopamine in the striatum. This is caused by progressive degeneration of dopaminergic ne

The aim of this thesis is to examine the role of early life environments for a variety of individual-level health and socioeconomic outcomes in contemporary Sweden. Ever-expanding human lifespans have contributed to the emergence of novel socio-health phenomena confronting contemporary Swedish society. A new research framework has emerged in the last 30 years suggesting that individuals’ ability t

This master thesis explores the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) within the European Union, focusing on how it integrates the concept of double materiality into corporate governance. The directive mandates that companies not only account for the financial impact of sustainability on their operations but also consider their broader environmental and societal effect. This stu

The thesis examines the portrayal of the divine in the works of Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī and Walt Whitman, specifically through the Masnavi and Leaves of Grass. Thereafter, the study conducts a comparative analysis between Whitman and Rumi’s perception of the divine. The result from the study finds that Rumi’s God is a God integrated into the whole of existence, bound by a mutual sense of love

This thesis explores the possibilities of integrating semantic transport information in the context of 3D-city modelling by implementing transport surfaces according to standards defined by the 3CIM specification, an extension of CityGML. This approach aims to automatically generate transport surfaces in LOD1 and LOD2, based on the Stockholm city basemap in combination with road geometries that re

Popular Abstract in English In Mozambique, many wild fruit species occur naturally in forest environments. Most of the wild fruits are consumed fresh because of their short shelf-life when ripe. Forests play an important role in rural communities as a source of food and medicinal and social/cultural services and also provide a source of income when fruits are sold at local markets. Some parts of MVangueria infausta (African medlar) is a wild fruit found in southern and central Mozambique. The ripe fruit has a leathery skin enclosing three to five seeds embedded in a soft pulp that tastes like apple. It plays an important role in the diet of the rural population and has the potential for commercial use. The fruit is mostly eaten fresh, and sometimes mixed with porridges, but in some parts

In late 2016, Lund is on the verge of becoming the center of accelerator-based material science in Europe.The MAX IV Laboratory, an electron synchrotron, was inaugurated in June 2016 with a scientific program to commence shortly and the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS), a spallation neutron source, is presently under construction and anticipated to be fully operational by 2022.These facilitieThe He-3 “crisis” has become a fact in the last decade and large scale neutron detectors based on He-3 technologies have become unaffordable. This new He-3 reality has resulted in a major effort worldwide to develop replacement neutron-detector technologies. Many of these technologies are in their infancy and need to be thoroughly tested before becoming mainstream, while others are approaching com

The behavior of animals is commonly studied in medicine and biology. There is a large variation in what animals are studied, in experimental paradigms and purpose.However, many studies on animal behavior have at least one thing in common - it typically involves measuring or studying the kinematics of the animal. To allow for verifiable and quantitative behavioral analysis, the experiments are reco

Catalytic processes have tremendous importance in our everyday life. Most chemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastics etc. are, in fact, produced with the help of catalysts. What is probably even more important is that the toxic wastes produced in great amounts by modern factories and plants are recycled or transformed into less poisonous substances by means of catalytic units. One example from our everyThe present work is devoted to atomic scale structural studies of the surfaces of model heterogeneous catalysts relevant to oxidation reactions. A novel approach using high-energy surface X-ray diffraction combined with mass-spectrometry measurements is employed to perform in situ structural characterization of Pd(100) and Pd(553) single crystal surfaces acting as catalysts in the process of CO ox

Popular Abstract in English Most of us are familiar with using plant-derived material such as wood for producing heat for warming the cottages or cooking food when we are camping. Apart from that, plant-derived materials such as trees, forest residues, grasses, agricultural crops, agricultural residues and straw have great potential in producing energy in a larger scale. This group of material is In this thesis, a numerical approach is adopted to study biomass thermochemical conversion. Detailed physical and chemical processes involved in the thermochemical conversion of biomass are considered. The aims are to improve the understanding of the physical and chemical processes involved and to develop and validate mathematical models for numerical simulation of the biomass conversion process.
