  1. 1. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. READ MORE

  2. 2. Propagation of Nuclear Data Uncertainties for Reactor Physics Parameters in Fluorine-19-based Molten Salt Reactors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Sigfrid Stjärnholm; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It could be argued that a renaissance is taking place for the global interest in nuclear power - especially for the development of the next generation of reactor systems that aim at solving the problems with contemporary energy production with nuclear technology. One such proposed concept for Gen IV nuclear power is a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR), in which the nuclear fuel is in solution of a salt - often based on fluorine or chlorine. READ MORE

  3. 3. Performance metrics and velocity influence for point cloud registration in autonomous vehicles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Óscar Poveda Ruiz; [2023]
    Keywords : autonomous vehicle; localization; registration; metrics; error; classification; estimation; autonomt fordon; lokalisering; registrering; mätvärden; fel; klassificering; uppskattning;

    Abstract : Autonomous vehicles are currently under study and one of the critical parts is the localization of the vehicle in the environment. Different localization methods have been studied over the years, such as the GPS sensor, commonly fused with other sensors such as the IMU. READ MORE

  4. 4. Total Monte Carlo of the fission model in GEF and its influence on the nuclear evaporation in TALYS

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Karlsson Peter; [2023]
    Keywords : physics; nuclear physics; fission; neutron-induced; evaporation; Hauser-Feshbach; GEF; TALYS; Total Monte Carlo; TMC; fysik; kärnfysik; neutron-inducerad;

    Abstract : Features recently added to the nuclear reaction software TALYS allow the use of the GEF model as a fission fragment generator. GEF generates data for fission fragment yields, total excitation energy (TXE), total kinetic energy (TKE) and individual fragment excitation energies (E*) with their standard deviations through Monte Carlo simulations for TALYS.

  5. 5. Fast Simulations of Radio Neutrino Detectors : Using Generative Adversarial Networks and Artificial Neural Networks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Anton Holmberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Askaryan emission; Radio detection of neutrinos; in-ice propagation; neutrino; Generative adversarial networks; GAN; WGAN; Neural networks; NN; surrogate model; IceCube; deep learning; generative model;

    Abstract : Neutrino astronomy is expanding into the ultra-high energy (>1017eV) frontier with the use of in-ice detection of Askaryan radio emission from neutrino-induced particle showers. There are already pilot arrays for validating the technology and the next few years will see the planning and construction of IceCube-Gen2, an upgrade to the current neutrino telescope IceCube.
