1. Ageing process analysis of solar panels in graveyard geostationaryorbit for reusability potential
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknikAbstract : The constant growth of space debris and the associated risks force the space community to find solutions to mitigate them. Today the most advanced solutions to dispose of satellites and rocket stages after the end of mission consists of moving them either into a graveyard orbit or towards an atmospheric re-entry ending in the demise of both spacecraft and its materials.

2. Predicting True Sepsis and Culture-positive Sepsis in Intensive Care Unit with Machine Learning Techniques
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistikAbstract : Sepsis, a serious medical condition often leading to patients requiring intensive care, has prompted numerous scientists to employ mathematical techniques to aid in its diagnosis. This thesis uses logistic regression and a machine learning technique, XGBoost, to predict true sepsis (as opposed to sepsis mimics) and culture-positive sepsis (among true sepsis) in critical care using blood test results, physiological measurements and other patient characteristics.

4. Exploring the Impact of Pseudo and Quasi Random Number Generators on Monte Carlo Integration of the Multivariate Normal Distribution
University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionenAbstract : This thesis examines the effects of pseudo and quasi-random number generators on the accuracy and efficiency of Monte Carlo Integration in the case of the multivariate normal distribution. The study compares the performance of the Mersenne Twister (a pseudo-random number generator) with Sobol and Halton sequences (quasi-random number generators). READ MORE

5. Real-Time System Benchmarking with Embedded Linux and RT Linux on a Multi-Core Hardware Platform
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskapAbstract : To catch up with the growing trend of parallelism, this thesis work focuses on the adaption of embedded real-time systems to a multicore platform. We use the embedded system of Xilinx ZCU-102, a multicore board, as an example of an embedded system without getting deep into its architecture. READ MORE
