1. 1. Deep Neural Networks as SurrogateModels for Fuel Performance Codes

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Wenhan Zhou; [2023]
   Keywords : Transuranus; AI; Nuclear Fuel Rods;

   Abstract : The core component of a nuclear power plant is the reactor and the fuel rods that supply it with fission fuel. Efficient and safe energy extraction is thus highly dependent on the reactor design and the conditions of the fuel rods. To anticipate high-quality operation and potential risks in advance, one must perform simulations on the fuel rods. READ MORE

3. 2. Barriers and Motivational Drivers for Sustainable Building in a Developing Country : The Case of Ghana

   University essay from KTH/Ledning och organisering i byggande och förvaltning

   Keywords : Sustainable building; Barriers; Motivation; Developing Country; Minor Field Study; Self-Determination Theory; Hållbart byggande; Barriärer; Motivation; Låg- eller medelinkomstland; Fältstudie; Självbestämmandeteori;

   Abstract : As the building and construction industry contributes considerably to global warming there isa need to increase sustainable building, especially in developing countries where the conceptis often overlooked. Even though there is a need to implement more sustainable alternatives,research shows that it comes with many challenges. READ MORE

4. 3. Exploring Normalizing Flow Modifications for Improved Model Expressivity

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

   Author : Marcel Juschak; [2023]
   Keywords : Normalizing Flows; Motion Synthesis; Invertible Neural Networks; Glow; MoGlow; Maximum Likelihood Estimation; Generative models; normaliserande flöden; rörelsesyntes; inverterbara neurala nätverk; Glow; MoGlow; maximum likelihood-skattning generativa modeller;

   Abstract : Normalizing flows represent a class of generative models that exhibit a number of attractive properties, but do not always achieve state-of-the-art performance when it comes to perceived naturalness of generated samples. To improve the quality of generated samples, this thesis examines methods to enhance the expressivity of discrete-time normalizing flow models and thus their ability to capture different aspects of the data.

5. 4. How Novel Business Models for Decentralised Renewable Energy Generation Transform the German Energy System: A Multi-Level Perspective

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Anniki Birth; [2023]
   Keywords : Energy transition; Business models; Multi-level perspective; Socio-technical transitions; Sustainability; Societal transitions; Sustainable business models; Renewable energy;

   Abstract : In order to mitigate climate change, human activity needs to be decarbonised through a phase-out of fossil fuels, replaced by renewable energy sources. Here, sustainable business models can play an important role through connecting niche renewable technologies to the wider system and thereby allowing them to diffuse. READ MORE

6. 5. Natur-lika planteringar med inhemska perenner : gestaltningsförslag för kvarteret Törnrosen, Malmö

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Josef Ekelund; [2023]
   Keywords : växtkomposition; växtekologi; inhemska perenner; biologisk mångfald;

   Abstract : Urbana planteringar förväntas fylla allt fler ekologiska funktioner i staden samtidigt som de ska ha höga estetiska värden och vara så skötselextensiva som möjligt. Detta ställer höga krav på dess utformning och det ingående växtmaterialet. READ MORE
