2. 1. Acoustic Sound Source Localisation and Tracking : in Indoor Environments

   Author : Anders Johansson; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Room acoustics; Speaker localisation; Tracking; State-space filter; Sequential Monte Carlo method; Particle filter;

   Abstract : With advances in micro-electronic complexity and fabrication, sophisticated algorithms for source localisation and tracking can now be deployed in cost sensitive appliances for both consumer and commercial markets. As a result, such algorithms are becoming ubiquitous elements of contemporary communication, robotics and surveillance systems. READ MORE

4. 2. Scaling Indoor Positioning : improving accuracy and privacy of indoor positioning

   Author : Jimmy Engström; Jan A. Persson; Åse Jevinger; Carl Magnus Olsson; Gustaf Hendeby; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Our phones have many uses for positioning technologies, such as navigation, LocationBased Services (LBS), emergency positioning, fitness applications, and advertising. We trust our phones and wearables to be location-aware. READ MORE

5. 3. Oxidation of terpenes in indoor environments : A study of influencing factors

   Author : Linda Pommer; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental chemistry; Monoterpene; Ozone O3 ; Nitrogen dioxide NO2 ; Nitrogen oxide NO ; Relative humidity RH ; Modelling; Scrubber; Experimental design; Interaction; Volatile organic compounds VOC ; Sick buildings syndrome SBS ; Principal component analysis PCA ; Indoor air; Ventilation; Tenax TA; Sodium sulphite; Miljökemi; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; analytisk kemi; Analytical Chemistry;

   Abstract : In this thesis the oxidation of monoterpenes by O3 and NO2 and factors that influenced the oxidation were studied. In the environment both ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are present as oxidising gases, which causes sampling artefacts when using Tenax TA as an adsorbent to sample organic compounds in the air.

6. 4. Determination and control of some pollutants in indoor environments

   Author : Pawel Markowicz; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; indoor air quality; indoor pollutants; dampness; purification; tobacco smoke;

   Abstract : Unsatisfactory indoor air quality (IAQ) may result from polluting emissions that are spread from building materials such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and/or microbial components or from various kinds of human activity such as smoking. Different methods are available to limit the exposure to unwanted pollutants and improve human wellbeing and health. READ MORE

7. 5. Volatile metabolites from microorganisms in indoor environments : sampling, analysis and identification

   Author : Anna-Lena Sunesson; Alvin Fox; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Adsorbents; Analysis; Cultivation; Determination; Gas chromatography; Identification; Indicator substances; Indoor air; Mass spectrometry; Metabolites; Microbial volatile organic compounds; Optimization; Sampling; Sick buildings; Thermal desorption; Aspergillus versicolor; Cladosporium cladosporioides; Paecilomyces variotii; Pénicillium commune; Phialophora fastigiata; Streptomyces albidoflavus;

   Abstract : Microorganisms are able to produce a wide variety of volatile organic compounds. This thesis deals with sampling, analysis and identification of such compounds, produced by microorganisms commonly found in buildings. READ MORE
