  1. 1. The Efficiency of Good Software Practices : A Case Study on a Radar Meteor Analysis Software Rewrite

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Kenneth Kullbrandt; [2022]
    Keywords : software practices; computer science; rewrite; refactor;

    Abstract : Software engineering as a profession has since early on in its conception been focused with how to best maximize the quality of software. Quality in this regard is both objectively measurable things (like speed, size, and cost) and less measurable things (like conciseness, elegance, and customer satisfaction). READ MORE

  3. 2. Rocks in Vogue : on material flows within electronic devices

    University essay from Konstfack/Institutionen för design, inredningsarkitektur och visuell kommunikation (DIV); Konstfack/Industridesign

    Author : Giorgia Burzio; [2021]
    Keywords : Design research; Material flows; Electronics; Energy; Battery; Care; Waste; Recycling; Craft; Critique; Landscape;

    Abstract : Landscapes have been exploited and polluted by humans in order to obtain metals. Materials are treated as commodities: extracted, used inside our devices and appliances, then discarded as useless matter. The timespan of efficiency is shortened more and more due to obsolescence, material desire and constant innovation. READ MORE

  4. 3. Radio Emissions from Earth’s Foreshock and Bolides

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

    Author : Patrick Oppel; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : It is well understood that Earth’s foreshock radiation is due to the bow shock deflecting the solar wind and accelerating electrons upstream into the foreshock where they produce Langmuir waves and radio emissions. Recently, the Long Wavelength Array (LWA) in the USA observed radio waves from meteors and other bolides entering the ionosphere and atmosphere. READ MORE

  5. 4. Optimization of Meteor Triangulations Using Timed Observations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Vendla Niklasson; [2021]
    Keywords : meteor; triangulation; astronomy;

    Abstract : Meteors are light events appearing in the sky, looking like strips of light. A meteor occurs when a space object, a meteoroid, enters the earth’s atmosphere at high velocity and starts to glow. READ MORE

  6. 5. The fate of pebbles and planetesimals entering protoplanetary envelopes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Emil Zadera; [2019]
    Keywords : Planet formation; planet; protoplanet; protoplanetary envelope; protoplanetary atmosphere; protoplanetary growth; planetary growth model; accretion rate; vapour blob; vapourblob; vapour planet; transport of water; water on planet; pebbles; planetesimals; pebble accretion; planetesimal accretion; meteors; ablation; fragmentation; sublimation; protoplanetary disk; MMSN; accretion window; accretion channel; accretion; destruction; disruption; terminal velocity; gas; gasflow; shearingbox; exoplanet; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Planetary embryos grow by the accretion of solid dust-material, ranging from cm- to m-sized pebbles up to km-sized planetesimals. However, the underlying size-distribution of the accreted material is poorly understood. READ MORE
