  1. 1. Optimization of Gammasphere Data Following the Nuclear Reaction 36Ar + 24Mg → 60Zn∗

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

    Author : Paul Böhm; [2023]
    Keywords : re-calibration; Gammasphere; 54Fe; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The experiment at Argonne National Laboratory aimed to study the fusion-evaporation reaction following the collision of a high-energy particle beam of 36Ar with a stationary target of 24Mg. This paper outlines the creation and implementation of an automated re-calibration procedure for the high-purity Germanium detectors comprising the Gammasphere array used for γ-ray spectroscopy in this experiment.

  3. 2. Trainable Region of Interest Prediction: Hard Attention Framework for Hardware-Efficient Event-Based Computer Vision Neural Networks on Neuromorphic Processors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Cina Arjmand; [2023]
    Keywords : Artifical Intelligence; Machine Learning; Neuromorphic Engineering; Computer Vision; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Neuromorphic processors are a promising new type of hardware for optimizing neural network computation using biologically-inspired principles. They can effectively leverage information sparsity such as in images from event-based cameras, and are well-adapted to processing event-based data in an energy-efficient fashion. READ MORE

  4. 3. Vectorization of the Jacobi method with single- and multiple right-hand sides

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematikcentrum; Lunds universitet/Matematik (naturvetenskapliga fakulteten)

    Author : Patrik Paaso; [2022]
    Keywords : C ; Vectorization; SIMD; DUNE; VCL; Vc; Jacobi method; Jacobi iteration; discrete Poisson s equation; Stationary iterative methods; Computational science; Optimization; Numerical analysis; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Vectorization has been an important consideration for scientific com- puting performance for a long time. Early super computers were designed around vectorization, the so called ”vector computers”, but recent trends point toward favouring other computer architectures, and vector comput- ers are much more rare than they used to be.

  5. 4. ‘The Gaps Between Stories’ : Examining the Gray Area of Sexual Consent in The Handmaid’s Tale

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap

    Author : Paulina Sundqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This project’s aim was to examine how the institutionalization of rape and sexual violence becomes problematic if analyzed through the conceptual lens of consent and complicity. After this close reading of consent and sexual violence, the answers are still not clear or easily discerned. READ MORE

  6. 5. Filmmakers’ interpretation of environmental science fiction : an exploration of how movies can be used for change making

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Sara Gustavsson; [2021]
    Keywords : environmental communication; science fiction; cinematic storytelling; storytelling; futuristic science fiction; environmental science fiction; social cognitive theory of mass communication; Albert Bandura;

    Abstract : We are now living within the reality of the worst environmental crisis mankind has ever seen and some modes within environmental communication are struggling to help us create change. In recent decade, there has been a growing interest in using storytelling for sustainable change. READ MORE
