  1. 6. Piecing Together the Past : A study about the significance of digitally accessing family records between Australia and England, and the key players responsible

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ABM

    Author : Natanya Berggren Newton; [2023]
    Keywords : Genealogy; digital archives; archival unity; Australia; England; information gap;

    Abstract : With the rise in popularity of ancestral research many people have had to search for some records abroad and are therefore reliant on access to archives in more than one country. One of the countries heavily reliant on archives abroad is Australia, a multicultural country that received many British settlers from 1788. READ MORE

  2. 7. Utilisation of hardwood in cross-laminated timber - A numerical study on vibrations in floors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Johannes Jonasson; Olle Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : hardwood; birch; beech; clt; cross-laminated timber; vibrations; floors; footfall; accelerations; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product consisting of several layers of laminations bonded together with adhesives. In contrast to heavier construction materials, timber and other lightweight building materials are more prone to serviceability issues due to vibrations. READ MORE

  3. 8. Parameter Update Schemes for Hidden Markov Models applied to Financial Returns

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Sigfrid Forsberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Markov Chain; Finance; Hidden Markov Model; Generalized Autoregressive Score Model; S P-500; Nikkei; Adaptive Model; Volatility; Regime-switching Model; Line-Search Algorithm; Predictor-Corrector; Quasi-Newton; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis was dedicated to investigating the use of different parameter update schemes for Hidden Markov models with time-varying parameters, with an emphasis on developing alternatives to the quasi-Newton step. The focus was on applications to financial returns, using data from the S\&P-500 and the Nikkei index, and for comparison, a trial using synthetic data was also performed. READ MORE

  4. 9. Analysing information content in images of paper straws using image processing, machine learning and deep learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Ammie Blomberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Continuous production control is important for the production using Tetra Pak equipment, as problems that are found early in the chain of production can minimize the need for waste greatly. In production of paper straws, a possible production control could be to photograph straws during production, analyse these and predict how good the straw is, using the image. READ MORE

  5. 10. Gravitation in Lorentz and Euclidean Geometry

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Niki Wilhelmson; Johan Stoyanov; [2022]
    Keywords : gravitation; gravity; euclidean geometry; isometry; laplace; helmholtz; lorentz geometry; differential geometry; general relativity; special relativity; Einstein s field equations; Lovelock; Newton;

    Abstract : The aim of this work is to derive mathematical descriptions of gravitation. Postulating gravitation as a force field, Newton's law of gravitation is heuristically derived by considering linear differential operators invariant under euclidean isometries and by finding the fundamental solution to Helmholtz equation in three dimensions.
