A novel technique to identify and split clusters created by multiple charged particles in the ATLAS pixel detector using a set of artificial neural networks is presented. Such merged clusters are a common feature of tracks originating from highly energetic objects, such as jets. Neural networks are trained using Monte Carlo samples produced with a detailed detector simulation. This technique repla
Polarization transfer solid-state NMR is shown to give molecular-level information about both dissolved and solid cellulose in aqueous dissolution media with sodium hydroxide or tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, thus paving the way for future studies of the molecular details of cellulose dissolution.
The flow fields and heat transfer characteristics in a parallel-plate channel with a transversely placed spiral coil insert were investigated by three-dimensional numerical simulation. The structure of multi-longitudinal-vortices (MLVs) induced by the spiral coil and the effects of MLVs on velocity and temperature fields were studied. The three-dimensional spiral coil induces a series of longitudi
The aim of this thesis is to provide useful framework for the design of the upcoming electric race car of Lund Formula Student Team. The thesis intends to find the different powertrain concepts on the state of the art. From the configurations, the thesis should provide outcomes of the performance, efficiency, complexity design and cost. Furthermore, the best concept should be find and a simple pre
From literature review a theoretical research model was developed describing the process for designing a performance measurement system fit for the company culture, strategic direction, and stakeholder perspective. Following the model, the definition of high performance for the department was investigated and success factors were formulated from interview results. These success factors were accord
Education has the potential to play a critical role in the sustainable transformation of society which is needed to limit the consequences of the multiple ecological crises society is facing. While this has been recognised internationally at least since 1992, not a lot has been done within the Danish educational system to address issues of climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainability with
I Europa påverkas cirka 600 000 personer, inklusive barn, av statslöshet. Även om UNHCR:s #IBelong-kampanj har uppmärksammat frågan och satt ett tydligt mål att statslösheten ska upphöra till 2024, råder det fortfarande tvivelaktigheter kring vilken stat som är ansvarig för att bevilja statslösa barn medborgarskap. Konsekvensen av detta blir en ökad statslöshet bland unga där ingen stat står ansvaIn Europe, about 600 000 individuals, including children, are affected by statelessness today. Although the UNHCR #IBelong Campaign has shed light on the issue and set the goal of ending statelessness by 2024, there is still a lack of understanding as to which State is responsible for granting nationality to stateless children. This leads to the fundamental consequence of stateless-ness, where no
Wide-angle distance measurements are needed for positioning with multilateration when there is no information about in which direction objects of interest are located. Several transmitters of varying kinds were evaluated in a data-driven way using a 6 DOF robot actuator. A wide-angle (±98 degrees) distance measurement system us- ing ultrasound was developed. The resulting solution was integrated i
Death is a universal human experience, yet the ecological impact of the care and disposition of dead bodies is rarely considered, due in part to cultural taboos surrounding the physical reality of death and decomposition. If negative environmental consequences are to be limited, deathcare will need to adapt. Utilizing interviews with funeral directors from the United Kingdom, the United States and
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate an alternative way of management within physical systems engineering development (PSED), a term which represents all fields of engineering where physical components are involved. More specifically, analysing how agile methodologies can be applicable with the use of technological advancements to overcome the restrictions hindering the increase of efficie
The aim of this study is to gain an understanding of the potential relationship between populism and a population’s search for security and belonging. Furthermore, how this is expressed through the rhetoric and policies of a country’s leader, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, and Viktor Orbán in Hungary, this is examined through conducting a qualitative content analysis. Here I use newspaper article
Planning for capacity in not just the production, but also in the supply chain, is important. Strategic long-term planning for the supply chain will affect how the company will be able to meet the demand. This Master Thesis will focus on the capacities within the supply chain at PolyPeptide and how they could be planned for in the future. PolyPeptide is a company that manufactures active pharmaceu
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Triple-negative breast cancer affects 10-20% of breast cancer patients and is associated with an especially bad prognosis. Today, tissue slides are assessed manually by a clinician to set a prognosis. However, the prediction of outcomes could possibly be improved using machine learning. This work investigates various machine learning techniques for
Prismatiska battericeller sväller på grund av ett antal olika faktorer, såsom laddningstillstånd och temperatur, men också irreversibelt med laddningscykling. Cellhälsan kan förbättras genom att begränsa svällnad av cellen, och därmed bör konstruktionen som håller cellerna på plats, modulen, kunna begränsa svullnaden och därmed motstå det lastfall som skapas av cellsvällnaden. Denna uppsats utvärdPrismatic battery cells swell due to a number of different factors, such as state of charge, temperature and irreversibly with charge cycling. Cell health can be improved by restricting the swelling of the cell, and therefore, the container which holds the cells, the module, should be able to restrict the swelling, and thus withstand the force exerted by the cells. This paper evaluates the use of
Drawing together the right to health in prison, and the understanding that yoga has numerous positive impacts on health, this paper explores the potential for using yoga as a way to improve prison conditions and experience from a human rights perspective. Secondary literature is used to answer two research questions: whether yoga is an appropriate and effective tool for realising international hea
Matrix functions and their applications play an important role in different fields of science and engineering. The matrix exponential is one of the most important and extensively used function of matrices. The computation of the exponential of a matrix is an interesting topic that has been extensively studied over the years. There are several ways computing the matrix exponential but there is a pu
With the increased efficiency of sequencing methods, large quantities of genomic information are quickly becoming available. To make use of this, methods are needed that can discern useful information from these vast data quantities. Such information could be the presence and position of specified genes with known properties. Due to their highly conserved sequences and their prevalence across all
