1. 16. Estimating progenitor mass and distance to Galactic Core-Collapse Supernova using neutrino observatory IceCube

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

   Author : Manne Segerlund; [2021]
   Keywords : Supernova neutrinos; Supernova detection; Multi-messenger astronomy;

   Abstract : Galactic core-collapse supernovae is a once-in-a-lifetime event which could carry with it information about new physics. In this work a method for estimating the progenitor mass and distance using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory is presented. The mass is expressed through an intermediate parameter called compactness.

3. 17. Measuring the vertical muon intensity with the ALTO prototype at Linnaeus University

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

   Author : Magnus Norén; [2021]
   Keywords : Muon Intensity; ALTO; CoMET; Cosmic Rays; VHE Gamma Rays; Extensive Air Shower; Water Cherenkov Detector; Scintillation Detector; Monte Carlo Simulation; GEANT4;

   Abstract : ALTO is a project, currently in the research and development phase, with the goal of constructing a Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray observatory in the southern hemisphere. It will detect the particle content reaching the ground from the interactions of either VHE gamma rays or cosmic rays in the atmosphere known as extensive air showers. READ MORE

4. 18. A Machine Learning Approach for Comprehending Cosmic Expansion

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Ludvig Doeser; [2021]
   Keywords : Cosmology; Cosmic expansion; Galaxy Images; Machine learning; Kosmologi; kosmisk expansion; galaxbilder; maskininlärning;

   Abstract : This thesis aims at using novel machine learning techniques to test the dynamics of the Universe via the cosmological redshift-distance test. Currently, one of the most outstanding questions in cosmology is the physical cause of the accelerating cosmic expansion observed with supernovae. READ MORE

5. 19. Labor Productivity Influence in the Construction Industry : An interpretive approach to project success

   University essay from Jönköping University/Internationella Handelshögskolan

   Author : Filip Kirchev; Malin Bartoschek; [2021]
   Keywords : Labor Productivity; Project Success; Optimization; Project Manager Perspective; Swedish Construction Industry;

   Abstract : The construction sector is one of the most important industries for the economy in Sweden. Between 2010 to November of 2020, there has been an increase in employment in the construction industry by 35.4 percent. In 2019 the Swedish construction sector was valued at EUR 53. READ MORE

6. 20. Seeing Stars - Intensity Interferometry in the Laboratory and on the Ground

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Colin Carlile; [2021]
   Keywords : Stellar Physics Instrumentation Interferometry Cherenkov Telescope Array Intensity Interferometry; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Context Since the time of Tycho Brahe astronomy has been an observing science defined by the quality of its instrumentation. The introduction of primitive telescopes by Galileo in 1609 began a period of development of ever-larger telescopes with greater measuring precision. READ MORE
