  1. 6. Forest Change Mapping in Southwestern Madagascar using Landsat-5 TM Imagery, 1990 –2010

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Samhällsbyggnad, GIS

    Author : Jeroen Grift; [2016]
    Keywords : Deforestation; pixel-based classification; object-based classification; landscape metrics; scaling structure;

    Abstract : The main goal of this study was to map and measure forest change in the southwestern part of Madagascar near the city of Toliara in the period 1990-2010. Recent studies show that forest change in Madagascar on a regional scale does not only deal with forest loss, but also with forest growth However, it is unclear how the study area is dealing with these patterns.

  3. 7. Accepting Homosexuality - Measuring and Explaining Levels of Perceived Discrimination among Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual People in the European Union

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Jeroen Romeijn; [2015-12-01]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis centers around levels of perceived discirmination among lesbian, gay and bisexual people (LGB) in the European Union and answers two main questions. The first aims to analyze the effects that different methods to survey the LGB population have on the validity and reliability of such surveys. READ MORE

  4. 8. Environmental concern in global perspective: Exploring relations between core-periphery, vulnerability, environmental problems, post-materialism and environmental concern

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Humanekologi

    Author : Jeroen Mutsaers; [2015]
    Keywords : Environmental concern; post-materialism; Structural Equation Modeling analyse; Statistics; world-system theory; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Objective: Within the literature there has not been a coherent answer to the question what influences environmental concern. Previous research have found partial explanations but have not looked at the underlying relations In this study I will look at the connection between (1) core-periphery, (2) vulnerability, (3) environmental problems and (4) post-materialism on (5) environmental concern.

  6. 10. Resampling in particle filters

    University essay from Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Jeroen D. Hol; [2004]
    Keywords : Reglerteknik; Resampling; Particle filters; sequential Monte Carlo methods; SIR; SISR; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : In this report a comparison is made between four frequently encountered resampling algorithms for particle filters. A theoretical framework is introduced to be able to understand and explain the differences between the resampling algorithms. This facilitates a comparison of the algorithms based on resampling quality and on computational complexity. READ MORE
