  1. 1. Analysis and Design of a Microgravity Drop Tower

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Tristan Edwards; [2023]
    Keywords : drop tower; microgravity;

    Abstract : A drop tower is a device that produces a microgravity environment by allowing an experiment to free fall for a short period of time, usually less than 10 seconds. Certain types of drop towers are also capable of reproducing the gravitational conditions of other celestial bodies, such as Lunar and Martian gravity. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. Concurrent Engineering and Generative Design Methodologies Applied to the Design and Analysis of a Future Space Mission Using COMET

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Paloma Maestro Redondo; [2021]
    Keywords : Concurrent Engineering; Concurrent Design; CDF; Generative Design; SpaceMaster; Space System Engineering; Feasibility Studies;

    Abstract : Concurrent Design studies have become of great importance in the space industry reducing the time and costs associated to the feasibility assessments for future space missions. This has also helped companies and space agencies to be at the forefront of this fast-developing sector. READ MORE

  5. 4. The European Polar Identity - A narrative analysis of the EU Arctic Policy of 2008 and 2016

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Miriam Steinwall; [2021]
    Keywords : EU; Arctic; cooperation; narrative; policy; climate change; environment; security; identity; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : The way an actor presents itself through a policy document could tell us a lot about – not only how the actor wants to be perceived – but also about what actorness the actor holds. To this foundation, this thesis studies the EU narrative identity presented in the EU Arctic Policy. READ MORE

  6. 5. Sonar Sea : The acoustic experience of the Baltic Sea dynamics

    University essay from Konstfack/Inredningsarkitektur & Möbeldesign

    Author : Elin Stampe; [2021]
    Keywords : spatial design; the Baltic Sea; water; dynamics; atmosphere; sound; acoustic ecology; field recordings; nature; sensory experience; flow; performative space; art; science; companion species; installation; rumslig gestaltning; Östersjön; vatten; dynamik; atmosfär; ljud; akustisk ekologi; natur; sinnesupplevelse; konst; vetenskap; installation;

    Abstract : This thesis project aims to discuss the conditions and importance of water as a dynamic body in our environment, as water is affecting life on Earth on all levels. By focusing on the Baltic Sea, a sensitive body of water, I am exploring the acoustic characters of the sea dynamics through sound recordings at three bays in the Stockholm Archipelago. READ MORE
