1. 1. Towards the Use of Satellite Data in Security Policy-Related Prediction

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för visuell information och interaktion

   Author : Mary Chrishani Jayaweera; [2021]
   Keywords : satellite imagery; earth observation; remote sensing; nighttime lights; conflict prediction; time series; intercalibration; big data; cloud computing; machine learning;

   Abstract : Inadequate economic data makes it more difficult for its incorporation in security-policy related prediction and there is a need for alternative datasets. Satellite data, more specifically nighttime lights data, can be used as a proxy for the economy. READ MORE

3. 2. Search for new phenomena in low-mass dijet using trigger-level analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Author : Herjuno Nindhito; [2016]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The recent upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) benefits searches for new physics phenomena using multijet final states. The increased center-of-mass energy opens new possibilities to probe new physics at scales beyond the Tera-electron volt (TeV), especially in di-jet final states. READ MORE

4. 3. Linking socio-economic factors to urban growth by using night timelight imagery from 1992 to 2012: A case study in Beijing

   University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

   Author : Gong Fanting; [2015]
   Keywords : Beijing; DMSP OLS; GIS; remote sensing; socio-economic factor;

   Abstract : In recent decades, the night lights data of the Earth’s surface derived from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) have been used to detect the human settlements and human activities, because the DMSP/OLS data is able to supply the information about the urban areas  and non-urban areas on the Earth which means it is more suitable for urban studies than usual satellite imagery data.   The urban development is closed linked to the human society development.

5. 4. A Case Study on the Extraction of the Natural Cities from Nightlight Image of the United States of America

   University essay from Avdelningen för Industriell utveckling, IT och Samhällsbyggnad

   Author : QINGLING LIU; [2013]
   Keywords : cities boundaries; DMSP OLS; head tail breaks classification; nighttime lights; power law; urban areas;

   Abstract : The boundaries of the cities are not immutable, they can be changed. With the development of the economies and societies, the population and pollution of cities are increasing. Some urban areas are expanding with more population or other dynamics of urbanization, while other urban areas are reducing with the changing of the dynamics. READ MORE
