  1. 1. Waste or Want: Does processing have an effect on the desirability of upcycled food products? : a Swedish consumer acceptance study

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Joséphine Lefrancq Fröjd; [2024]
    Keywords : Upcycled foods; food processing; consumer acceptance; contingent valuation method; consumer behavior;

    Abstract : Food waste presents a significant obstacle to the food system’s transition to sustainability. With an ability to mitigate industrial food waste and its effects, the concept of upcycled food aims to safely adapt elements from the waste streams for human consumption by transforming them into ingredients to be used in novel ‘upcycled’ food products.

  3. 2. Exploring Normalizing Flow Modifications for Improved Model Expressivity

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

    Author : Marcel Juschak; [2023]
    Keywords : Normalizing Flows; Motion Synthesis; Invertible Neural Networks; Glow; MoGlow; Maximum Likelihood Estimation; Generative models; normaliserande flöden; rörelsesyntes; inverterbara neurala nätverk; Glow; MoGlow; maximum likelihood-skattning generativa modeller;

    Abstract : Normalizing flows represent a class of generative models that exhibit a number of attractive properties, but do not always achieve state-of-the-art performance when it comes to perceived naturalness of generated samples. To improve the quality of generated samples, this thesis examines methods to enhance the expressivity of discrete-time normalizing flow models and thus their ability to capture different aspects of the data.

  4. 3. Can a Dry Recording Treated with a Convolution Reverb in a Surround Sound Speaker System be Perceived as Maintaining the Same Degree of Naturalness as Real Recorded Reverberation?

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle

    Author : Sophie Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : When recording classical instruments, access to a physical space of acoustic properties associated with classical music might not always be available. This study seeks to investigate if classical music recorded in an environment with a short reverberation time can be treated with an impulse response from a concert hall and still maintain the same sense of naturalness.

  5. 4. Comparing MR/VR implementations in flight training simulation

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

    Author : Kexin Wang; [2023]
    Keywords : Virtual Reality; Mixed Reality; Flight training; Psychological fidelity; ergonomic fidelity;

    Abstract : The use of Extended Reality(XR) technologies for training is gaining popularity, and flight training is one field that has begun experimenting with the best implementation for their needs. Both Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR) have been used in flight simulators, but it is unclear which is the better fit. READ MORE

  6. 5. Gradually Changing Gender Attribution of Speech Recordings Using Interpolated Filters

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Mira Kjellin; [2022]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : When we listen to human speech, one of the first characteristics we assess is the gender of the speaker. For individuals who suffer from gender dysphoria, this may cause them to be negatively impacted by their voice not matching their gender identity. Therefore, some persons attempt to change their voices with a speech-language therapist. READ MORE
