1. 1. Multiscale & Multiphysics Modelling of Thrust Pad (Air) Bearings

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Nipon Roy; [2023]
   Keywords : Finite element modelling; Air bearing; Multiphysics simulations; Air lubrication; surface texture; Topology optimization;

   Abstract : Without lubrication, machines are not imaginable to perform over a long period of time and complete their designated operations. With its omnipresent availability, the air is capable of functioning as a lubricant in long operations very efficiently. Moreover, thrust bearings support axial loads and transmit power at the same time under heavy loads. READ MORE

3. 2. Marking tags within the construction industry : A qualitative case study of the Swedish construction industry regarding implementing technical standardizations to promote circularity

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

   Author : Markus Eriksson; Casper Norberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Sustainability; Construction industry; Radio frequency identification; Circularity; Attitude; Environment; Socio-technical transition theory; multi-level perspective.;

   Abstract : The construction industry is vital in meeting humanity's infrastructure and essential building needs. However, its current practices contribute significantly to environmental challenges such as global warming, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. The current study points out the need for a more sustainable approach in the construction sector. READ MORE

4. 3. Economic Capital Models : Methods for fitting loss distributions

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

   Author : William Fritzell; [2023]
   Keywords : Economic Capital; Distribution fitting; MCMC;

   Abstract : The thesis provides a well-researched classical approach to fit and predict the losses (extreme) for Lloyds Bank’s Dutch mortgage portfolio, their defaulted Dutch mortgage portfolio, and their German personal and car loan portfolio. This is a crucial piece for quantification of the economic loss, required for effective credit risk management by the Bank. READ MORE

5. 4. Messing With The Gap: On The Modality Gap Phenomenon In Multimodal Contrastive Representation Learning

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Industriell teknik

   Author : Mohammad Al-Jaff; [2023]
   Keywords : Multimodal machine learning; Representation learning; Self-supervised learning; contrastive learning; computer vision; computational biology; bioinformatics;

   Abstract : In machine learning, a sub-field of computer science, a two-tower architecture model is a specialised type of neural network model that encodes paired data from different modalities (like text and images, sound and video, or proteomics and gene expression profiles) into a shared latent representation space. However, when training these models using a specific contrastive loss function, known as the multimodalinfoNCE loss, seems to often lead to a unique geometric phenomenon known as the modality gap.

6. 5. Antenna Design and Link Performance Verification of Antennas for 5G mmWave Handheld Devices

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

   Author : Vinodhini Mylai Chandrasekaran; Nikhila Chinnayanapalli Ravi; [2022]
   Keywords : Antenna Design; mmWave frequency; 5G; FEKO; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The purpose of the thesis is to design a new antenna system and to verify its link performance in 5G FR2 mmWave frequency for handheld devices to enable cellular communication. The main objective is to design an antenna primarily at 28GHz and 39GHz to enhance spectrum efficiency, along with improved transmission data rates, enabling new cases like Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and many more such applications.
