2. 21. Plasticized PVC Nanocomposites - The Effect of Montmorillonite Treatment and Processing Conditions on Material Properties

   Author : Henrik Petersen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; melt processing; Montmorillonite; mechanical properties; scanning electron microscopy; X-ray diffraction; poly vinyl chloride ; organic modification; barrier properties;

   Abstract : ABSTRACTPolyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the world’s most widely produced polymers. Its products are used in a wide range of areas such as building and construction, packaging, automotive, electrical/electronic and healthcare. PVC can easily be tailored to adapt material properties to specific applications. READ MORE

4. 22. Examining neurobehavioral effects of chemosensory exposure to local irritants using event related potentials

   Author : Stephanie Anja Juran; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to examine whether unpleasant odors disturb cognitive task performance. At first glance, it seems intuitive that for example the smell of fire smoke would immediately interrupt my current writing at the computer. READ MORE

5. 23. Enhancing geometric maps through environmental interactions

   Author : Sergio Caccamo; Danica Kragic; Petter Ögren; Robin Murphy; KTH; []
   Keywords : Gaussian Processes Robotics UGV Active perception geometric maps; Computer Science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : The deployment of rescue robots in real operations is becoming increasingly commonthanks to recent advances in AI technologies and high performance hardware. Rescue robots can now operate for extended period of time, cover wider areas andprocess larger amounts of sensory information making them considerably more usefulduring real life threatening situations, including both natural or man-made disasters.

6. 24. Helping robots help us : Using prior information for localization, navigation, and human-robot interaction

   Author : Malcolm Mielle; Martin Magnusson; Achim Lilienthal; Erik Schaffernicht; Marjorie Skubic; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; graph-based SLAM; prior map; sketch map; emergency map; map matching; graph matching; segmentation; search and rescue;

   Abstract : Maps are often used to provide information and guide people. Emergency maps or floor plans are often displayed on walls and sketch maps can easily be drawn to give directions. However, robots typically assume that no knowledge of the environment is available before exploration even though making use of prior maps could enhance robotic mapping. READ MORE

7. 25. Infrastructure-free pedestrian localization

   Author : John-Olof Nilsson; Peter Händel; Michael Angermann; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Knowledge of your own and other's positions are frequently a prerequisite for acting, leading others, and interacting in and with the environment; to retrieve relevant information and to process and interpret it; and to understand, compile, and learn from observations of the surrounding and its dynamics. This holds for humans as well as for machines and systems made for supporting and controlling them. READ MORE
