As with mosquitoes, female tabanid flies search for mammalian hosts by visual and olfactory cues, because they require a blood meal before being able to produce and lay eggs. Polarotactic tabanid flies find striped or spotted patterns with intensity and/or polarisation modulation visually less attractive than homogeneous white, brown or black targets. Thus, this reduced optical attractiveness to t

An engineer always strive to help in the continuous exploration of the unknown. By doing so we go further out in space and further down in scale. This is the case with microfluidics which in the last years have gotten a lot of attention. This thesis will examine and better try to understand and optimize a fluidic system that uses ultrasonic trapping. Its application may be everything from enrichin

Problem description – The production system as of to day does not function in a satisfying way. The paint shop causes most disturbances. To withhold customer satisfaction and meet the greater demands of the future, a increase in the paint shops efficiency is needed, through lead-times, productivity and amount of objects in progress. To proceed with structural changes studies are needed to map the
