1. Towards a setup for narrowband terahertz generation through difference-frequency mixing of chirped ultrashort pulses
University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : Terahertz radiation is a useful tool for inducing lower-energy excitations in matter, where it can be used to cause structural changes through direct interaction with the crystal lattice. Sub-picosecond optical pulses can be used to generate intense broadband terahertz pulses through optical rectification in nonlinear crystals, reaching peak electric fields of several MV/m and conversion efficiencies as high as a few percent.

2. Generation of a metrical grid informed by Deep Learning-based beat estimation in jazz-ensemble recordings
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : This work uses a Deep Learning architecture, specifically a state-of-the-art Temporal Convolutional Network, to track the beat and downbeat positions in jazz-ensemble recordings to derive their metrical grid. This network architecture has been used successfully for general beat tracking purposes. READ MORE

3. Forecasting of Heat Pump Power Consumption using Neural Networks
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknikAbstract : With the increase in electricity generation from renewable sources over recent years, the demand for ancillary services providing balancing support in the grid has risen. Demand side regulation can be performed by regulating consumption of some household devices, which can act as a virtual battery that can be loaded and unloaded into the grid. READ MORE

4. Trainable Region of Interest Prediction: Hard Attention Framework for Hardware-Efficient Event-Based Computer Vision Neural Networks on Neuromorphic Processors
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknikAbstract : Neuromorphic processors are a promising new type of hardware for optimizing neural network computation using biologically-inspired principles. They can effectively leverage information sparsity such as in images from event-based cameras, and are well-adapted to processing event-based data in an energy-efficient fashion. READ MORE

5. Jack Kerouac’s Poetics : Repetition, Language, and Narration in Letters from 1947 to 1956
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Engelska institutionenAbstract : Despite the fame the prolific impressionistic, confessional poet, novelist, literary iconoclast, and pioneer of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac, has acquired since the late 1950’s, his written letters are not recognized as works of literature. The aim of this thesis is to examine the different ways in which Kerouac develops and employs the poetics he is most known for in the letters he wrote to friends and publishers before becoming a well-known literary figure.
