  1. 36. Analysis of Head Kinematics in Ice Hockey

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : David Pogosian; [2022]
    Keywords : Ice hockey; Video analysis; MPS; THUMS; Concussion; Head kinematics; Finite Element analysis; Ishockey; Videoanalys; MPS; THUMS; Hjärnskakning; Huvudkinematik; Finita element metoden;

    Abstract : Ice hockey has been identified as a sport with a high risk for concussions due to it being highly physical. Improvements have been made over the years to improve the protective gear for the players effectively eliminating more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) however mild concussions (mTBI) are still prevalent to this day.

  3. 37. Estimation of satellite orbits using ground based radar concept

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Jonas Gabrielsson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Today an abundance of objects are circulating in earth captured orbit. Monitoring these objects is of national security interest. One way to map any object in orbit is with their Keplerian elements. A method for estimating the Keplerian elements of a satellite orbit simulating a ground based radar station has been investigated.

  4. 38. Assessment of Modern Statistical Modelling Methods for the Association of High-Energy Neutrinos to Astrophysical Sources

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Valentin Minoz; [2021]
    Keywords : Statistics; Astrophysics; Neutrino sources; Mixture models; Monte Carlo methods; Maximum likelihood estimation; Statistik; Astrofysik; Neutrinokällor; Blandningsmodeller; Monte Carlo-metoder; Maximum likelihood-metoden;

    Abstract : The search for the sources of astrophysical neutrinos is a central open question in particle astrophysics. Thanks to substantial experimental efforts, we now have large-scale neutrino detectors in the oceans and polar ice. READ MORE

  5. 39. Quantification of cerebral blood flow with 15O-water PET : A comparison study between PET/CT and PET/MR and two different blood sampling instruments

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik; Umeå universitet/Diagnostisk radiologi

    Author : Amanda Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : Cerebral Blood Flow; CBF; oxygen-15-labelled water; PET CT; PET MR; Quantification of CBF; Image Derived Input Function; IDIF; Blood Sampled Input Function; BSIF; Arterial Input Function; AIF; Tracer Kinetic Modelling; Single Tissue Compartmental Model; 1TCM;

    Abstract : Cerebral blood flow quantification is a vital diagnostic tool for disease monitoring and used for diagnosing a variation of pathological conditions. The human brain requires roughly about 20 % of the total cardiac output to sustain normal functioning, hence the perfusion of blood is an important factor to deliver oxygenated blood. READ MORE

  6. 40. Inverse Uncertainty Quantification using deterministic sampling : An intercomparison between different IUQ methods

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Hjalmar Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Inverse Uncertainty Quantification; Model calibration; Unscented transform; Deterministic sampling;

    Abstract : In this thesis, two novel methods for Inverse Uncertainty Quantification are benchmarked against the more established methods of Monte Carlo sampling of output parameters(MC) and Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). Inverse Uncertainty Quantification (IUQ) is the process of how to best estimate the values of the input parameters in a simulation, and the uncertainty of said estimation, given a measurement of the output parameters.
