  1. 16. Designing for Body Awareness - A Study on Enabling Body Awareness in Mindfulness Through Wearable Haptic Thermal Technology

    University essay from Malmö högskola/Fakulteten för teknik och samhälle (TS)

    Author : Lisa Brolin; [2017]
    Keywords : Haptic technology; Thermal feedback; Mindfulness; Body Scan Meditation; Wearables; Techno-Spirituality;

    Abstract : A stressful society with a deficiency of attention has led to a growing demand for meditation techniques. One meditation technique is mindfulness, which is a tool used to reduce stress, intensify body awareness and to help us be more present. READ MORE

  3. 17. Stability of Networked Control Systems with Applications in Smart Buildings

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektro- och systemteknik (EES)

    Author : Jorge López Rodríguez-Roselló; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) appeared in themiddle of the last century for military purposes although nowadaysthey are used in multiple areas. This paper focuses on smartbuildings, where WSNs play a key role. The aim of this studyis to obtain and examine the stability conditions of networkedcontrol systems (NCSs). READ MORE

  4. 18. Power Electronic Stages for a TFPMSM in Wave Power Applications

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektro- och systemteknik (EES)

    Author : Gustaf Falk Olson; [2016]
    Keywords : transverse flux permanent magnet synchronous machine TFPMSM ; active rectifier; direct drive wave energy converter; feedback linearization; cascaded PID controller.;

    Abstract : Direct drive wave energy conversion systems have been identified as a potentially major contributor to the world’s energy demands, forecasting shares of up to 25 % of the energy mix. Anders Hagnestål conducts research at the Royal Institute of Technology where a novel linear transverse flux permanent magnet generator is developed. READ MORE

  5. 19. Quantifying terrain factor using GIS applications for real estate property valuation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Dahlia Mudzaffar Ali; [2016]
    Keywords : digital elevation model DEM ; GIS; geography; physical geography; property valuation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the use of GIS applications to derive adjustment figures for the terrain factor in property valuation tasks. It aims at suggesting a quantitative approach alternative to evaluate the terrain factor as opposed to traditional methods and current industry practices where terrain is qualitatively judged based on visual observation at site and subjected to individual opinion.

  6. 20. Snow and sea ice temperature profiles from satellite data and ice mass balance buoys

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Isabella Grönfeldt; [2016]
    Keywords : IMB; ice mass balance buoys; snow-ice interface; air-snow interface; temperature profile; snow; sea ice; Fram Strait; Greenland; Arctic Ocean; climate change; climate; physical geography and ecosystem analysis; remote sensing; satellite; sensor; SMOS; AMSR-2; TIR; numerical weather prediction; multiple regression analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The sea ice covers approximately 5% of the Earth’s surface at any given time and it plays an important role in the polar climate system affecting the heat, mass and momentum exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. The snow cover on top of the sea ice affects its insulating and reflective properties and thus key figures in the climate system feedback loop. READ MORE
