  1. 1. Underdevelopment : A case-study of Nigeria

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för globala politiska studier (GPS)

    Author : Mohamed Mudei Hassan; [2022]
    Keywords : Underdevelopment; Nigeria; Neo-Classical Realism; Dependency theory; Resource dependence; Prebendalism; Lax institutions; Sino-Nigerian relations;

    Abstract : Underdevelopment has plagued Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), since independence the post-colonial African states have experienced extreme poverty, unemployment, and other economic ailments that have persisted in the region. The aim of this thesis is to critique the null hypothesis of dependency theorists that it is structural factors that cause underdevelopment instead this study proposes an alternative hypothesis through Neo-Classical Realism to explain that it is in fact state-level actors and domestic issues that are the true culprit of causing the dependent variable.

  3. 2. Hardware-Accelerated Ray Tracing of Implicit Surfaces : A study of real-time editing and rendering of implicit surfaces

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Herman Hansson Söderlund; [2021]
    Keywords : Implicit Surfaces; Signed Distance Functions; Ray Tracing; Content Creation; Path Tracing; Implicita Ytor; Signed Distance Functions; Strålspårning; Modellering;

    Abstract : Background. Rasterization of triangle geometry has been the dominating rendering technique in the real-time rendering industry for many years. However, triangles are not always easy to work with for content creators. READ MORE

  4. 3. Real-time refraction through multiple layers using image-space method with inline ray tracing

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

    Author : Daniel Parhizgar; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Although modern hardware allows us to use ray tracing in real-time, ray traced refractions are still demanding due to its need to generate multiple rays recursively in order to fully refract through a multi-layered object. With the recent release of inline ray tracing, it is possible to traverse and register ray hits inside a fragment shader. READ MORE

  5. 4. Numerical thermal analysis of SEAM

    University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Niels Bernving; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis is on the topic of numerical thermal analysis, specically of the SmallExplorer for Advanced Missions SEAM. SEAM is a 3 unit Cubesat, which isgoing to be launched in a sun-synchronous orbit to measure the magnetic sphere.It makes use of a boom deployment system to remove the sensors from themagnetic eld inuences of the body.

  6. 5. DELIBERATE WINDOW DRESSING: A case study of deliberative democracy enhancement by means of the Open Method of Coordination in the Czech Republic

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Jurgita Andriuskaite; [2015-08-04]
    Keywords : the OMC; norm diffusion; social inclusion; gender mainstreaming; deliberative democracy theory; empowered deliberation; the European Union;

    Abstract : The notion of deliberate democracy in political discourse seems to imply a profound normative message, unconditionally supporting justice and fairness. Similarly, the deliberative democracy theory asserts the power of public interaction to shape inclusive and fair social policies within the European Union. READ MORE
