  1. 1. Comparing energy efficiency of Leaky integrate-and-fire and Spike response neuron models in Spiking Neural Networks

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

    Author : Majd Dawli; Imran Bahed Diva; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are a type of neural network that is designed to mimic the way neurons function in our brains. While there have been notable advancements in developing SNNs, energy consumption hasn't been studied to the same extent. This gets especially relevant with steadily increasing network sizes.

  3. 2. Permanent Fire Load of the Building Envelope

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Gizelle Danine Pondevida Jamero; [2023]
    Keywords : Permanent fire load; temporary fire load; fire load; building envelope; insulation; building content; upholstered furniture; heat of combustion; MCC; bomb calorimeter; cone calorimeter; room corner test.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Fire load, the total thermal energy released by the combustion of a material, is an essential part of determining a building’s fire performance and the associated fire protection strategies. Elements in a structure are typically categorized into two types of fire loads: permanent and temporary. READ MORE

  4. 3. Design and Construction of an Autonomous Sentry Turret Utilising Computer Vision

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Carl Bermhed; Jacob Holst; [2023]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Arduino; Computer Vision; Stepper Motor; Airsoft; Haar Cascade; Mekatronik; Arduino; Datorseende; Stegmotor; Airsoft; Haar Cascade;

    Abstract : The design and manufacture of a sentry gun turret capable of accurately and rapidly tracking and shooting moving targets was a challenging task that required delving into various engineering disciplines. This bachelor's thesis explores this challenge by presenting the process of construction, as well as the performance results of a turret created using a combination of 3D printing, laser cutting, and metal workshop manufacturing.

  5. 4. Evaluating reliability and limitations of disaster loss accounting databases

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Rebecca Crisanti; [2023]
    Keywords : Database; loss data; extreme event; natural hazards; measuring losses; Latin America; EM‐DAT; DesInventar.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Disaster loss accounting is an essential tool for assessing the effects of disasters and creating policies for disaster risk reduction that are supported by data. This study compares disaster data for two of the most used disaster loss accounting databases, EM-DAT and DesInventar in the context of six Latin American countries, namely, Uruguay, Chile, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Venezuela.

    Keywords : Phase change material; concrete; fire resistance; integration into building materials; latent heat; melting;

    Abstract : The European commission has in the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive from 2010 decided that its member states were required to ensure that all new buildings by the end of 2020 were nearly zero-energy buildings. These buildings require small amounts of energy compared to its performance in example by keeping a pleasant indoor climate. READ MORE
