  1. 1. The functional anatomy of the crocodilian heart

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Jennifer Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Anatomy; Cardiac right-to-left shunt; Cog-teeth-like valves; Crocodilian heart; Foramen of Panizza; Hemodynamics; Left aorta;

    Abstract : Crocodiles are ectothermic, intermittent breathing reptiles with low metabolic rates. Additionally, they are diving animals that can stay submerged for long periods, which poses special demands on their cardiovascular system. The crocodilian heart is four-chambered with completely separated ventricles, making it unique among other reptiles. READ MORE

  3. 2. Morphological characterization of the muscular ridge in non-crocodilian reptiles

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Wilma Sohlén; [2023]
    Keywords : Adaptation; Anatomy; Function; Haemodynamics; Muscular ridge; Reptiles; Shunting;

    Abstract : The cardiovascular systems in ectothermic reptiles have long been studied and its development represent a transition state between a single- and a double circulation. This literature review focus on the typical-reptilian heart and therefore distinguishes between orders within the class of Reptilia. READ MORE

  4. 3. Artificial Intelligence applications for railway signalling

    University essay from KTH/Transportplanering

    Author : Benjamin Smakic; [2021]
    Keywords : Artificial Intelligence; AI; Machine Learning; ML; Computer Vision; railway signalling; ERTMS level 3; GPS; autonomous train operations; Artificiell Intelligens; Maskininlärning; datorseende; signalteknik; autonoma tåg; självkörande tåg.;

    Abstract : The main purpose of this Master Thesis is to investigate how front-facing, train-mounted cameras and Computer Vision, a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI), can be used to compensate for GPS inaccuracies. By using footage from track-recording cameras, Computer Vision can be utilized to determine the number of tracks and the track occupancy of the train, which would compensate GPS inaccuracies in the lateral positioning.

  5. 4. Pre-study of optical LED units for shunting signals

    University essay from KTH/Hälsoinformatik och logistik

    Author : Tobias Adolfsson; Axel Dellenby; [2021]
    Keywords : LED - Light Emitting Diode; Booster Converter; MLCC - Multi-layer capacitor; ESR - Equivalent Serie Resistance; OU - Optical Unit; Reactive compensation; LED - lysdiod; step-up omvandlare; MLCC - flerskiktskeramisk kondensator; ESR - ekvivalent serie motstånd; OU - optiskt enhet; reaktiv kompensering;

    Abstract : Alstom wanted to investigate the possibility of adapting its light emitting diode (LED) technology for shunting signals in train traffic. The LED technology uses 50V, but Alstom wants to adapt it for 12V. The LED technology is energy efficient but needs to be adapted for existing signal interlocking by drawing a higher current.

  6. 5. Evaluation of Shunt Distance in Resistance Spot Welding

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Daniel Fredriksson; Milou Carlfors Göransson; [2020]
    Keywords : Resistance spot welding; RSW; Shunt effect; Shunting; Shunt distance; One-dimension welding lobe; Punktsvetsning; RSW; Shunt effekt; Shuntning; Shuntavstånd; Endimensionell svetslob;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study was to generate a greater understanding of how the shunt distance affects the shunting phenomena which occurs when working with resistance spot welding (RSW). Shunting affects the quality of the weld and the goal of the study was to create guidelines for RSW to minimize its impact on the weld quality. READ MORE
