1. 16. Probability Based Path Planning of Unmanned Ground Vehicles for Autonomous Surveillance : Through World Decomposition and Modelling of Target Distribution

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

   Author : Per Liljeström; [2022]
   Keywords : Probability based path planning; Unmanned ground vehicles; UGV; Autonomous surveillance; Cell decomposition; Spatial partitioning; Target distribution modeling; Decay function; Last-seen function; Stochastic processes; Markov chain; Markov process; Markov planner;

   Abstract : The interest in autonomous surveillance has increased due to advances in autonomous systems and sensor theory. This thesis is a preliminary study of the cooperation between UGVs and stationary sensors when monitoring a dedicated area. The primary focus is the path planning of a UGV for different initial intrusion alarms. Cell decomposition, i. READ MORE

3. 17. Imaging of the MTP joint: Developing an imaging protocol optimised for damage detection and 3D modelling

   University essay from KTH/Fysik

   Author : Johanna Jacobsson; [2022]
   Keywords : computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; cone beam computedtomography; cartilage; osteochondral lesions; metatarsal phalangeal joint; datortomografi; magnetisk resonanstomografi; kon-datortomografi; brosk; kondrala skador; metatarsalphalangen-leden;

   Abstract : Walking without pain in the toe has a significant impact on a person’s well-being. Human mobility will be impaired in osteoarthritis of the big toe, and pain will occur during walking. By replacing the cartilage or bone injury with an individualised implant, osteochondral injuries to the knee and ankle can be treated. READ MORE

4. 18. Carrots, Sticks, and Other Tricks: Understanding the effectiveness and robustness of social mechanisms for encouraging cooperation in a complex adaptive system

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

   Author : Thomas Atherton; Andreas Bergström; [2022]
   Keywords : Agent-based modelling; Behavioural; Complexity; Cooperation; Evolutionary;

   Abstract : Cooperation is critical for success in many economic interactions, but social dilemmas between the best outcomes for society and for individual decision-makers often arise. This thesis adds to existing game-theoretic and behavioural studies by evaluating cooperation in the public goods game (a canonical social dilemma) in a more complex, realistic system. READ MORE

5. 19. The Application of a Wildfire Evacuation Tool to Swedish locations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Johannes Jovlunden; [2022]
   Keywords : Wildfire evacuations; evacuation simulation; wildfire simulation; WUI-NITY; FARSITE; Prometheus; Swedish wildfire evacuations; geo-spatial data; computer modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : WUI-NITY is a computer modelling program for wildfire evacuation simulations. This thesis examines the applicability of WUI-NITY to locations in Sweden. The program was tested at example locations representing the Swedish landscape. READ MORE

6. 20. The influence of spatial variations in rain intensity for cloudburst modelling : a case study of the Gävle cloudburst

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Fanny Jeppsson Stahl; [2022]
   Keywords : Flood modelling; pluvial flooding; spatial variations in rain intensity; design storms; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM; 2D hydraulic modelling; Skyfallsmodellering; pluviala översvämningar; spatiala variationer i regnintensitet; typregn; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM;

   Abstract : With an intensification of heavy rain events in a changing climate and a rapid urbanization the risk for pluvial flooding is increasing in our societies. Pluvial flooding, which is formed when the rainfall rate exceeds the infiltration or drainage rate, can occur rapidly and cause great damages, large economic losses and possibly risk human lives.
