1. 1. Constructing a food web from inventory data in a boreal forest-dominated national park in south-eastern Sweden

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Philip Kjellström; [2023]
   Keywords : ecological network; food web; boreal forest food web; national park food web; interspecific competition; swedish forest; construction food web;

   Abstract : A food web was constructed for a boreal-forest dominated national park in south-eastern Sweden, called Tyresta national park and its surrounding nature reserve. Due to increasing threats to mammalian species and their critical role in the food web mammals were used as the outset of the food web, and from there branching out to taxa trophically interacting with mammals directly and indirectly.

3. 2. Interleaved Prefetching Ray Traversal on CPUs

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

   Author : Viktor Meyer; [2021]
   Keywords : Computing methodologies ! Ray tracing; Information systems ! Data access methods; Hierarchical data models; ; Beräkningsmetoder ! Strålspårning; Informationssystem ! Dataåtkomstmetoder; Hierarkiska datamodeller; ;

   Abstract : Ray tracing is used in computer graphics to generate images. The process of rendering images using ray tracing includes testing large counts of rays for intersection against geometry. Testing for ray-geometry intersection is more formally known as the Ray Shooting Problem (RSP) and has broad applications across multiple communities. READ MORE

5. 4. Critical Branching Regulation of the E-I Net Spiking Neural Network Model

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Oskar Öberg; [2019]
   Keywords : Pattern recognition; Spiking neural network; Critical branching; Self-organized criticality; Spike-based learning; Brain-inspired computing; Signal processing;

   Abstract : Spiking neural networks (SNN) are dynamic models of biological neurons, that communicates with event-based signals called spikes. SNN that reproduce observed properties of biological senses like vision are developed to better understand how such systems function, and to learn how more efficient sensor systems can be engineered.

6. 5. Branching Histories: Political Mythopoetics in Four Brexit Narratives

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Engelska; Lunds universitet/Masterprogram: Litteratur - Kultur – Media
