  4. 2. Assessing future effects on lake ecosystem resilience using data analysis and dynamic modelling : Modelling the effects of extreme weather events and climate warming on lakes

    Author : Jorrit P. Mesman; Bastiaan W Ibelings; Stéphane Goyette; Don C Pierson; Karsten Rinke; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Extreme events; Storms; Modelling; Climate change; Thermal structure; Phytoplankton;

    Abstract : Extreme weather events can have short-term and long-term effects on lake thermal structure, nutrient dynamics, and community composition. Moreover, changes in lake variables induced by global climate change may influence the response and recovery of lake ecosystems to extreme weather events. READ MORE

  5. 3. Online Dimensionality Reduction

    Author : Kaito Ariu; Alexandre Proutiere; Mikael Johansson; Richard Combes; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we investigate online dimensionality reduction methods, wherethe algorithms learn by sequentially acquiring data. We focus on two specificalgorithm design problems in (i) recommender systems and (ii) heterogeneousclustering from binary user feedback. READ MORE

  6. 4. Extreme wave conditions and the impact on wave energy converters

    Author : Eirini Katsidoniotaki; Malin Göteman; Vincent Neary; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; extreme waves; wave energy converters; CFD; OpenFOAM; environmental contours; focused waves; breaking waves;

    Abstract : The amount of energy enclosed in ocean waves has been classified as one of the most promising renewable energy sources. Nowadays, different wave energy conversion (WEC) systems are being investigated, but only a few concepts have been operated in a sea environment. READ MORE

  7. 5. Seamless Millimeter-wave Connectivity via Efficient Beamforming and Handover

    Author : Sara Khosravi; Marina Petrova; Jens Zander; Riku Jäntti; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Millimeter wave networks; Beamforming; Handover; Reinforcement learning; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Abstract : Extremely high data rate demands, and the spectrum scarcity at the microwave bands, make the millimeter wave (mmWave) band a promising solution to satisfy the high data rate demands in wireless networks. The main advantage of moving to the mmWave spectrum is the availability of large bandwidth. READ MORE
