  4. 3. Dynamic Stark Shaping of Molecular Fate

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sharon Berkowicz; [2019]
    Keywords : Dynamic Stark effect; Dynamic Stark Control; Oxygen; Photodissociation; Photochemistry; Laser Spectroscopy; Dynamiska Starkeffekten; Dynamisk Starkkontroll; Syre; Fotodissociation; Fotokemi; Laserspektroskopi;

    Abstract : The dynamic (ac) Stark effect refers to the energy shifting of electronic states induced by an oscillating electric field. Conveniently, the magnitude of the ac Stark shift scales with the square of the electric field amplitude, i.e. with light intensity. READ MORE

  5. 4. Gaussian processes for online system identification and control of a quadrotor

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Sverre Knutsen; [2019]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The aim of this master thesis was to develop adaptive control for a quadrotor using Gaussian process regression (GP). Online regression with GPs can provide many benefits as it is a flexible non-linear regression model that can provide uncertainty measures of the estimate. However, online GP regression may also gives rise to problems. READ MORE

  6. 5. Transport Aircraft Conceptual Design

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Albin Karlsson; Anton Lomaeus; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A conceptual design for a transport aircraft has been created, tailored for human-itarian missions along the equator with its home base in the European Union while optimizing for fuel eciency and speed. An initial estimate of the empty weight was made using historical data and Breguet equations, based on a required payload of 60 tonnes and range of 5 500 nautical miles. READ MORE
