  1. 11. Sensitivity of Norway Spruce (Picea abies) to inundation.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Whitney Cleopatra Vlahakis; [2023]
    Keywords : Inundation; riparian zone; spruce seedlings; restoration; mortality;

    Abstract : Alteration of river flow regimes due to dams result in modifications of riparian ecosystem, with impacts on vegetation, landforms, and habitats. A key characteristic that differentiates riparian zones from adjacent aquatic and terrestrial environments is the event of periodic flooding and water logging. READ MORE

  3. 12. Modeling the penetration of fragmented shaped charge jets

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialfysik

    Author : Alexander Palfelt; [2023]
    Keywords : Shaped charge; Analytical penetration model; Visualization; Riktad sprängverkan; RSV; Analytisk penetrationsmodell; Visualisering;

    Abstract : The penetration power of a shaped charge is an important characteristic in determining its capability. A model has previously been developed by FOI to analytically predict the penetration of a shaped charge jet striking a target at varying stand-off distances. READ MORE

  4. 13. The quest for a classical bulge - a study of kinematics, abundances, and ages using microlensed dwarf stars and Gaia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Calum Kvernes Macpherson; [2023]
    Keywords : Bulge; Milky Way; Kinematics; Galpy; Dwarf Stars; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Context: We present an kinematical analysis of 90 F and G type dwarf, turn-off, and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. These stars were observed with high-resolution spectrographs during gravitational microlensing events This allowed for their ages, abundances, and radial velocities to be ascertained while they were significantly brighter.

  6. 15. Developing a portable, customizable, single-channel EEG device for homecare and validating it against a commercial EEG device

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

    Author : Máté Károly Tóth; [2023]
    Keywords : Electroencephalography EEG ; Portable EEG; Single-channel EEG; Commercial EEG; Brain-machine interface; Prototype development; Elektroencefalografi EEG ; Bärbar EEG; Enkanaligt EEG; Kommersiellt EEG; Hjärna-maskin-gränssnitt; Prototyputveckling;

    Abstract : There are several commercial electroencephalography (EEG) devices on the market; however, affordable devices are not versatile for diverse research applications. The purpose of this project was to investigate how to develop a low-cost, portable, single-channel EEG system for a research institute that could be used for neurofeedback-related applications in homecare.
