  1. 21. Designing a large neighborhood search method to solve a multi-processor avionics scheduling problem

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tillämpad matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Jesper Svensson; [2021]
    Keywords : Avionics Scheduling; Large Neighborhood Search; Mixed-Integer Programming; Optimisation;

    Abstract : This thesis introduces a Large Neighborhood Search (LNS) method to solve a multi-processor avionics scheduling problem. In a typical scheduling problem, tasks are scheduled with exact starting times. In this thesis however, tasks will instead be assigned to disjoint time segments, called buckets. READ MORE

  3. 22. Swap Book Hedging using Stochastic Optimisation with Realistic Risk Factors

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Produktionsekonomi

    Author : Rickard Nordin; Emil Mårtensson; [2021]
    Keywords : Term structure measurement; optimization; hedging; swap portfolio; interest rate swaps; stochastic programming; FRA; IRS; dimension reduction; component analysis; component decomposition; signal separation;

    Abstract : Market makers such as large banks are exposed to market risk in fixed income by acting as a counterparty for customers that enter swap contracts. This master thesis addresses the problem of creating a cost-effective hedge for a realistic swap book of a market maker in a multiple yield curve setting. READ MORE

  4. 23. A Phantom Based Comparison of Image Segmentation Algorithms for Adaptive Functional Volume Determination of the Thyroid Gland using SPECT

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Henrik Berg; [2021]
    Keywords : Hyperthyroidism; Nuclear Medicine; SPECT; Functional Volume; Phantom Study; Adaptive Image Segmentation; Thresholding; Region Growing;

    Abstract : Background One of the most used treatments for hyperthyroidism, is therapy with radioactive iodine (131I), which is accumulated in the thyroid gland. To determine the activity of 131I to be administered for a certain absorbed dose, the volume of the gland is of great importance but the historically used methods for estimating the functional volume of the gland are based on large approximations.

  5. 24. Multiple CubeSat Mission for Auroral Acceleration Region Studies

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Marley Santiago Castro; [2021]
    Keywords : formation flight; mission analysis; aurora; auroral acceleration region; AAR; matlab; mission design; cubesat; cube satellites; multiple spacecraft;

    Abstract : The Auroral Acceleration Region (AAR) is a key region in understanding the interactionbetween the Magnetosphere and Ionosphere. To understand the physical, spatial, and temporal features of the region, multi-point measurements are required. READ MORE
