1. N-body simulations of exoplanets and their moons
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The planet-planet interactions in a many-planet system cannot be analytically calculated. Instead, they have to be investigated by using an N-body simulation. I discuss three questions about the N-body interactions in planetary systems: The first two are on the system 55 Cnc, a system with five known planets around a K-type star. READ MORE

2. A spatially explicit model of segregation dynamics : Comparing the Schelling and the Sakoda model
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutet för analytisk sociologi, IASAbstract : The scientific consensus has for long been that residential segregation is best conceived of as a multidimensional phenomenon that can exist on several geographical scales (Massey & Denton, 1988; Lee et al., 2008; Reardon & O’Sullivan, 2004; Reardon et al., 2008).

3. Collaborative Mapping with Drone Swarms Utilizing Relative Distance Measurements
University essay from Linköpings universitet/ReglerteknikAbstract : The field of use for unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs, has completely exploded in the last decade. Today they are used for surveillance missions and inspecting places that are difficult for people to access. To increase the efficiency and robustness in the execution of these types of missions, swarms of cooperating drones can be used. READ MORE

4. Approximating material area, volume,and velocity for belt conveyor systemapplications using 3D depth sensor technology
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknikAbstract : Time of Flight (ToF) technology describes products or systems which measure distance by calculating the distance emitted light travels before bouncing off its surroundings and ending back up at the system. Since the early 2000s, many advancements in the area of ToF systems have been made leading to much use for the ToF variant LiDAR. READ MORE

5. Vibrational signals as indicators of soil fauna health? : A novel approach to environmental monitoring of ants
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Soil fauna provides processes of crucial importance for ecosystem functions, but our ability to observe their actions often depend on destructive methods where the integrity of the studied environment (the soil) is compromised. In this study, I develop and test a new generation of environmental monitoring tools that utilize vibrations made by soil macrofauna to inform about their performance and health. READ MORE
