1. Effects of reconstruction parameters on the image quality and quantification of PET images from PET/MRI and PET/CT systems
University essay fromAbstract : Aim: To study how reconstruction parameters affect the positron emission tomography (PET) image quality and quantitative results for the different lesion to background radioactivity ratios in three different PET systems. Introduction: Multimodality imaging that combines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) with a PET system can produce medical images containing both functional and anatomical information.

2. Spectroscopic model characterisation of hot exoplanet atmospheres
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : Hot Jupiters are gas giants under intense stellar radiation with short orbital periods of only a few days. Due to their large radii, hot temperatures, and large scale heights, hot Jupiters can be observationally characterised in detail through spectroscopy over an entire orbital phase. READ MORE

3. Have Radial Velocity Surveys Missed Any Planets?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The project was aimed at numerically assessing exoplanetary systems to distinguish their capabilities of hosting additional planets. The shortcomings of the radial velocity method sometimes causes hindrance in the detection of terrestrial planets. READ MORE

4. Magnificent beasts of the Milky Way: Hunting down stars with unusual infrared properties using supervised machine learning
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysikAbstract : The significant increase of astronomical data necessitates new strategies and developments to analyse a large amount of information, which no longer is efficient if done by hand. Supervised machine learning is an example of one such modern strategy. READ MORE

5. Cosmological implications of a QCD-like composite Higgs model
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : Some of the shortcomings of the Standard Model of particle physics are the 'unnatural' value of the mass of the Higgs boson and the fact that the model cannot account for the process of baryogenesis - a mechanism which generates the observed asymmetry between matter and anti-matter in the Universe. The former is related to the fundamental scalar nature of the Higgs boson, connected to quadratic divergences in the mass corrections. READ MORE
