  1. 1. Airspeed estimation of aircraft using two different models and nonlinear observers

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

    Author : Alexander Roser; Anton Thunberg; [2023]
    Keywords : sensor fusion; flight mechanics; Kalman filter; extended Kalman filter; unscented Kalman filter; pitot tube; airspeed estimation; simulation;

    Abstract : When operating an aircraft, inaccurate measurements can have devastating consequences. For example, when measuring airspeed using a pitot tube, icing effects and other faults can result in erroneous measurements. READ MORE

  3. 2. Models and Algorithms for Personalized Glycemic Control

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

    Author : Alma Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Glycemic control is resource-demanding in the treatment of Intensive Care Units (ICUs) patients where blood glucose measurements are taken continuously at few-hour intervals to avoid the risk of having a patient in a coma, or in the worst case, causing death. The number of diabetes patients, mostly type 2 diabetes, is increasing around the world, and at the same time, we have an ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 with health workers stretched to their limits.

  4. 3. Treatment of dissolved metals in highway runoff water : Pilot-scale trial with four reactive filter media and sand filter

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Serena Bianchi; [2021]
    Keywords : stormwater treatment; metal removal; adsorption; reactive filter media; sand filtration; Petrit-T; Polonite; D-Rainclean; Filtralite-P; de-icing salt; pressure drop; filter clogging; rening av dagvatten; avl ̈agsnande av metaller; adsorption; reaktiva filterme- dier; sandfiltrering; Petrit-T; Polonite; D-Rainclean; Filtralite-P; avisningssalt; tryckfall; filterstoppning;

    Abstract : The increasing highway traffic is leading to higher and higher levels of pollutants in the stormwater, such as suspended solids, metals, oils, nutrients and PAH. This runoff water causes the degradation of water bodies quality, leading to increased interest in the treatment of highway runoff for the removal of contaminants. READ MORE

  5. 4. A study of the effects of winterclimate and atmospheric icing onhigh-speed passenger trains

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Author : Markus Granlöf; [2020]
    Keywords : Survival analysis; continuous Markov model; cumulative delay; highspeed train; weather; atmospheric icing;

    Abstract : Harsh winter climate causes various problems for both the public andprivate sector in Sweden, especially in the northern part and the railway industryis no exception. This master thesis project covers an investigation of the eects ofthe winter climate and a phenomena called atmospheric icing on the performance ofthe train in a region called the Botnia-Atlantica region.

  6. 5. Movement of Foxfonna rock glacier in Svalbard between 2017-2019

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Elias Lundström; [2020]
    Keywords : rock glacier; Svalbard; UAV; photogrammetry; movement detection; permafrost; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The movement of a rock glacier located at the bottom of the Foxfonna glacier, Svalbard, Norway, was studied through the use of photogrammetry and feature tracking software, between the years of 2017-2019, as well as elevation changes between 2009 and 2019. This could aid in further knowledge about the rapid velocity changes of rock glaciers in a continuous permafrost environment. READ MORE
