  1. 1. Influence of pulsing on PVD TiAlN coating microstructure and mechanical properties : Master thesis project on the impact of deposition parameters on performance and properties of PVD titanium aluminum nitride.

    University essay from Karlstads universitet

    Author : Marcus Roseen; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the influence of pulsing on the mechanical properties of PVD TiAlN coatings. The thesis focuses on defects caused by droplets during the arc-evaporation technique by altering the duty time, which affects mechanical properties. READ MORE

  3. 2. User-centred design of an outreach robot

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

    Author : Ying He; [2023]
    Keywords : Human-Robot Interaction; Outreach Robot; Adolescents; Gender bias;

    Abstract : The goal of this project is to involve adolescents in the design of their own social robots, and to explore their concerns and opinions about social robots during the design process. To support their design efforts, I have developed a digital toolkit that includes features for customizing the appearance, personality, and reactive behaviors of the robots. READ MORE

  4. 3. Transverse Momentum Spectra in pp collisions (\sqrt{s}\) = 7 TeV and \(\sqrt{s}\) = 13 TeV in ALICE

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

    Author : Andreas Stokkeland; [2023]
    Keywords : Multiplicity; Multiplicity classes; Soft interactions; Quark Gluon Plasma; QGP; transverse momentum; p_T; Chi-squared; fits; fit functions; Levy; Lévy; Exponential; BGBW; Boltzmann-Gibbs blast-wave; Fermi-Dirac; Bose-Einstein; Boltzmann; pion; kaon; proton; transverse momentum spectra; p_T spectra; surface velocity; Minimum Bias; MB; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this project particle production as a function of transverse momentum (\(p_{\rm T}\)) in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy (\(\sqrt{s}\)) of 7 TeV and 13 TeV has been studied. The transverse momentum is interesting to study since it reflects momentum created in the collision (before the collision, all momentum is in the beam - going in a longitudinal direction) and therefore gives information on the collision dynamics.

  5. 4. Cost Overrun in Swedish Infrastructure Transport Projects : An Analysis of Cost Overrun in Swedish Infratructure Transport Projects between 2010-2022

    University essay from Jönköping University/IHH, Nationalekonomi

    Author : Edwin Sjögren; Jacob Norgren; [2023]
    Keywords : Cost Overrun; Infrastructure Transport Projects; Swedish Infrastructure; Behavioral Economics; Optimism Bias; Strategic Misrepresentation; Cost Estimation; Forecasting;

    Abstract : Cost Overrun is something that plagues infrastructure projects, both in Sweden and globally. The repercussion of it can be severe since it not only hurts the public’s perception of how the public authorities manage and allocates its resources, but also due to the immense opportunity costs that arise when the increased costs need to be covered.

  6. 5. Biases in AI: An Experiment : Algorithmic Fairness in the World of Hateful Language Detection

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

    Author : Anna Stozek; [2023]
    Keywords : machine learning; algorithmic fairness; unintended bias; sentiment analysis; automated hate detection; maskininlärning; algoritmisk rättvisa; oavsiktlig bias; sentimentanalys; automatisk hatdetektion;

    Abstract : Hateful language is a growing problem in digital spaces. Human moderators are not enough to eliminate the problem. Automated hateful language detection systems are used to aid the human moderators. One of the issues with the systems is that their performance can differ depending on who is the target of a hateful text. READ MORE
