  1. 1. Life Cycle Assessment : a comparison of fossil energy use and climate impact on small scale manufacturing and large scale conventional manufacturing of textile toys

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Malin Henriksen; [2024]
    Keywords : textile toy; LCA; energy use; sustainable production; China; Sri Lanka; cotton production; fossil fuel use; GWP100;

    Abstract : This study conducts a Life Cycle Assessment to compare the environmental impacts, specifically climate impact and fossil fuel use, of textile toys produced in China and Sri Lanka. Through evaluating large-scale industrial production in China against small-scale, handcrafted production in Sri Lanka, it identifies the considerable environmental footprint of cotton production in both scenarios.

  3. 2. On quantum systems and the measurement problem

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Nicolas Boulle; [2023]
    Keywords : Quantum physics; the measurement problem; quantum information; Hilbert spaces; physical systems; unitary; collapse; Euler angles parametrization; Copenhagen interpretation; many- world; measure;

    Abstract : We focus on the Tensor Product Structure (TPS) of the Hilbert space and the fact that a choice in the TPS has an impact on the representation of the studied quantum system. We define the measurement problem in quantum mechanics and present some theories about quantum mechanics, each of them highlighting a different approach to quantum measurements. READ MORE

  4. 3. On Linear Mode Connectivity up to Permutation of Hidden Neurons in Neural Network : When does Weight Averaging work?

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Adhithyan Kalaivanan; [2023]
    Keywords : Mode Connectivity; Representation Learning; Loss Landscape; Network Symmetry; Lägesanslutning; representationsinlärning; förlustlandskap; nätverkssymmetri;

    Abstract : Neural networks trained using gradient-based optimization methods exhibit a surprising phenomenon known as mode connectivity, where two independently trained network weights are not isolated low loss minima in the parameter space. Instead, they can be connected by simple curves along which the loss remains low. READ MORE

  5. 4. Prototyping and user testing a new sound toy: Gamelike interactions with FM synthesis

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle

    Author : Viktor Jers; [2023]
    Keywords : audio technology; sound toys; user experience; fm synthesis;

    Abstract : Sound toys are game-like technologies that can be described as playful sonic interactions where the users are given unusual ways to creatively explore and transform synthetic sound. This study investigated the prototyping and evaluation of a new sound toy. READ MORE

  6. 5. An Open-Source Autoencoder Compression Tool for High Energy Physics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Axel Gallén; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics; Particle Physics; Analysis; Machine Learning; Neural Networks; Autoencoders; Data Compression; Lossy Compression; Baler; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A common problem across scientific fields and industries is data storage. This thesis presents an open-source lossy data compression tool with its foundation in Machine Learning - Baler. Baler has been used to compress High Energy Physics (HEP) data, and initial compression tests on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) toy data have been performed. READ MORE
