   Abstract : Considering the nature of vulnerability to fires and at-risk groups, the issue is arguably a social problem where spatial analysis has allowed for a greater context, beyond the individual, to be analyzed. Furthermore, reports from fire rescue services of local safety concerns and the convergence of interest between different stakeholders has made communities disposition to fire safety increasingly relevant.

3. 2. An Infrared Stellar Thermometer

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Ieva Puspure; [2021]
   Keywords : Infrared Spectroscopy; Infrared; Red giants; Stellar Temperature; Spectroscopy; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Infrared (IR) spectroscopy has many advantages over optical, one of which is allowing us to see through intergalactic dust, letting us probe deeper into space and dust-dense regions such as galactic centers. However the investigating the IR spectral range is a relatively new field, owing to recent developments in detector technology, and stellar parameter determination in IR is not well researched.

4. 3. Actants and Networks in 'Skagboys' – Thatcher, Crime and Mundane Artifacts as Mediators

   University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS)

   Author : Thomas Pedersen; [2020]
   Keywords : Skagboys; ANT; Actor-Network Theory; Thatcher; Crime; Heroin; Irvine Welsh; Bruno Latour; Mediator; Trainspotting; Literature; Scotland; Edinburgh; Agency; Detection; Objects in literature;

   Abstract : While Skagboys portrays the descent into heroin addiction of young, working class Scots during the Thatcher era, shifting the analysis from a strictly human perspective to one focusing on the agency of objects opens up the novel to new readings wherein morality emerges through nonhuman actors. Welsh’s work has traditionally been hailed as Scottish working-class realism that portrays its characters unideologically, to the point that the novels, through the characters, appear without morality.

6. 5. Laser Music System : Implemented using lasers, infrared sensors, photocells and a Arduino Microcontroller

   University essay from Sektionen för Informationsvetenskap, Data– och Elektroteknik (IDE)

   Author : Astra Woodruff; Burak Görmez; [2012]
   Keywords : laser system; electronic instrument; microcontroller; IR range sensors; laser diodes; photocells; detector circuit; MIDI; triangulation;

   Abstract : A Laser Music System has been created, that combines a laser and light sensor system with an infrared distance sensing system that detects the position of a user’s hand when it intersects one or more of the individual laser beam. The laser beams, which are made visible by a small amount of smoke in a dark room, provide visual guidance to the user to reduce the difficulty of using a non-contact instrument as well as enhancing an appealing optical effect for the user.
