Our current historical moment is marked by a widespread sense of (ongoing and anticipated) crises, prompting calls to change existing economic, political, social, and environmental systems.

In Reinforcement learning the updating of the value functions determines the information spreading across the state/state-action space which condenses the valuebased control policy. It is important to have an information propagation across the value domain in a manner that is effective. Two common ways to update the value function is Monte-Carlo updating and temporal difference updating. They are

The effect of postharvest long-term storage and pre-treatments on the mass transfer rates during osmotic dehydration of carrots was investigated. Four blanching times were used and the carrots were sampled during 12 weeks of storage. Cell vitality was measured by isothermal calorimetry on cores taken from blanched slices. During the storage period, effective diffusion coefficients for water and su

In this talk, model predictive control (MPC) is used to dynamically optimize an investment portfolio. Thepredictive control is based on multi-period forecasts of the mean and covariance of financial returns from amultivariate hidden Markov model with time-varying parameters. Estimation and forecasting are done using anonline expectation--maximization algorithm. There are computational advantages t

In this thesis I discuss how the western conception of reason is an aspect of power. I consider the western comprehension of rationality to be a masculine and ethnocentric understanding, though by itself acclaimed to be universal. My purpose with this thesis is to analyze how this western and masculine conceptualisation of reason follows a gramscian structure of power, which makes it reproduce its

In this article, model predictive control is used to dynamically optimize an investment portfolio and control drawdowns. The control is based on multi-period forecasts of the mean and covariance of financial returns from a multivariate hidden Markov model with time-varying parameters. There are computational advantages to using model predictive control when estimates of future returns are updated

Regime-based asset allocation has been shown to add value over rebalancing to static weights and, in particular, reduce potential drawdowns by reacting to changes in market conditions. The predominant approach in previous studies has been to specify in advance a static decision rule for changing the allocation based on the state of financial markets or the economy. This talk proposes the use of mo

Recovery from schizophrenia involves both subjective elements such as self-appraised wellness and objective elements such as symptom remission. Less is known about how they interact. To explore this issue, this study examined the relationship over the course of 1 year of four assessments of symptoms with four assessments of self-reports of subjective aspects of recovery. Participants were 101 outp

This thesis is dedicating to analysis the contribution of Knutpunkten building which is located in Helsingborg southern Sweden with regards to its visual impact role on the society and environment from its visual appearance of the elements of design mainly colour and light element. Different philosophical conceptions of colour and light from different theoretician notion is using as a main empiric

The orthogonality factor (OF) quantifies the loss of orthogonality between the signals transmitted simultaneously on a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) downlink due to multipath dispersion. It is one of the fundamental parameters that determines the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio at the output of the Rake receiver and, consequently, it has a significant impact on downlink sy

The aim of this thesis is to make it simple and efficient to produce applications for smartphones. The main area of application is within the health care sector, where alarm receiving devices are needed to inform personnel of pending situations. Most medical alarm systems are unique and hence require a unique GUI (Graphical User Interface). However, at the core, the main functionality is to commun

This paper presents the first optimal, maximal likelihood, solution to the triangulation problem for radially distorted cameras. The proposed solution to the two-view triangulation problem minimizes the L2-norm of the reprojection error in the distorted image space. We cast the problem as the search for corrected distorted image points, and we use a Lagrange multiplier formulation to impose the ep

This master thesis has been conducted for Solvina. Solvina is a firm in Gothenburg, which among other things simulates steam nets for the paper process industry. Doing this Solvina has had to simulate not only the steam net itself, but also to simulate the control system. The purpose of this master thesis was to try to build an interface between the controller and the simulated process so that the
