  1. 6. Gravitational Collapse of a Massless Scalar Field in a Theory of Minimally Modified Gravity

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Atabak Fathe Jalali; [2024]
    Keywords : Theoretical physics; astrophysics; modified gravity; minimally modified gravity; gravitational collapse; VCDM; scalar collapse; apparent horizon; numerical relativity; Teoretisk fysik; astrofysik; modifierad gravitation; minimalt modifierad gravitation; gravitationskollaps; VCDM; skalär kollaps; uppenbar horisont; numerisk relativitet;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field in a minimally modified gravity theory denoted VCDM (V replaces $\Lambda$ in the $\Lambda$CDM abbreviation), a class of theories propagating the same degrees of freedom as general relativity at the expense of broken 4D diffeomorphism invariance. Numerical evolution of the equations of motion reveals that for small initial scalar profile amplitudes, no black hole forms from the collapse. READ MORE

  3. 7. Mining infrequent group of motifs from multidimensional time series: A case study at Alfa Laval AB

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Author : Fabeena Thoufeeq; Reeba Susan Ashok; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In collaboration with an industrial partner, Alfa Laval AB, this thesis discusses a novel approach for identifying operational modes, specifically a cleaning mode, in separator machines without the benefit of labelled data and with very limited operating knowledge. Understanding the operational modes is crucial for comprehending the machine’s behaviour and ensuring its optimal performance. READ MORE

  4. 8. The visibility of stellar transients in the Galactic Centre

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

    Author : Jonathan Ström; [2024]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A semi-analytical simulation was developed to evaluate the K-band magnitudes of Red Giants [0.96 - 1.02 M⊙] orbiting the supermassive black hole in the galactic centre. The model assumed star formation between 10-12 Gyrs ago and by following the IMF and applying a random age condition, a stellar population was created. READ MORE

  5. 9. Robust non-Abelian geometric phases on three-qubit spin codes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialteori

    Author : Parham Azish; [2024]
    Keywords : Quantum information theory; Holonomic quantum computing; non-abelian systems;

    Abstract : Quantum holonomies are non-Abelian Geometric Phases predominantly observed in adiabatic, non-adiabatic, or measurement-based quantum evolutions. Their significance lies in their potential utility within quantum computing due to their robustness against noise throughout the parameter path. READ MORE

  6. 10. Study case: The water-cooling effect on floating photovoltaic plants performance

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Alice Dragon; [2024]
    Keywords : Solar photovoltaic; Floating photovoltaic; Performance analysis; Thermal loss; Panel Efficiency; Cooling effect; Solceller; Flytande solceller; Prestandaanalys; Termisk förlust; Panelens effektivitet; Kylande effekt;

    Abstract : Floating solar technology is relatively new, and it comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities. This master thesis focuses on understanding how Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) projects perform compared to Ground-Based Photovoltaic (GPV) projects, in specific weather conditions. READ MORE
