2. 11. Spectral Moment Problems : Generalizations, Implementation and Tuning

   Author : Enrico Avventi; Anders Lindquist; Giorgio Picci; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimization; systems theory; Optimeringslära; systemteori;

   Abstract : Spectral moment interpolation find application in a wide array of use cases: robust control, system identification, model reduction to name the most notable ones. This thesis aims to expand the theory of such methods in three different directions. The first main contribution concerns the practical applicability. READ MORE

4. 12. Stimulating the Brain : Ethical Perspectives on Deep Brain Stimulation & Nano Scaled Brain Machine Interfaces

   Author : Veronica Johansson; Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This thesis addresses some of the ethical concerns raised by connecting man and machine through so called Brain-Machine Interfaces, BMIs, elaborate brain implants that may both further our knowledge of the brain and alleviate neurological dysfunction and impairments. The primary foci have been to address urgent and prominent concerns elicited by BMIs; to critically evaluate arguments relevant to an ethical analysis of Deep Brain Stimulation, DBS; and to address and develop ignored or underrepresented perspectives of importance in an ethical analysis of DBS.

5. 13. Finite Element Methods for Interface Problems

   Author : David Samvin; Peter Hansbo; Kent Salomonsson; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite Element Method; Interface; Embedded; CutFEM; Finita elementmetoden; Sprickor; CutFEM;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on computationally efficient methods for flow in fractured porous media. Two approaches are presented where the interface is embedded on the underlying finite element mesh. The methods allow for representation of the interface geometry from the underlying discretization and with discontinuities across the interface. READ MORE

6. 14. Investigation of 234U(n,f) with a Frisch-grid ionization chamber

   Author : Ali Al-Adili; Franz-Josef Hambsch; Stephan Pomp; Richard Brenner; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : This work treats three topics. The main topic concerns neutron-induced fission of 234U. The main goal is to investigate the fission-fragments properties  as a function of the incident neutron energy. The study was carried out using a twin Frisch-grid ionization chamber. READ MORE

7. 15. Tinkering Care Moves : Senior Home Care in Practice

   Author : Peter A. Lutz; Mats Utas; Klaus Lindgaard Hoeyer; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : This dissertation builds on the current anthropological studies of care relations in practice. It draws inspiration from science and technology studies (STS) and postfeminist technoscience. A qualitative ethnographic approach grounds the empirical data collection and analysis. READ MORE
