  2. 1. Digital wet areas mapping

    Author : William Lidberg; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Wet soil in forested landscapes of the boreal zone is often associated with large open wetlands or peatlands, but it may also be hidden beneath closed forest canopies on drained wetlands or wet strips beside streams known as riparian zones. Since these wet areas are shrouded by canopy they have traditionally been difficult to map from aerial photographs. READ MORE

  4. 2. Drawing Science : Visual Content Formation in Young Students’ Multimodal Science Compositions

    Author : Elin Westlund; Charlotte Engblom; Caroline Liberg; Anna-Malin Karlsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; content representation; early school years; science education; multimodal text-making; visual literacy; Curriculum Studies; Didaktik;

    Abstract : This thesis explores visual formation of science content in young students’ multimodal text-image compositions. In doing so, it also contributes a metalanguage for visual meaning-making about science content in the early school years. READ MORE

  5. 3. Science mapping and research evaluation : a novel methodology for creating normalized citation indicators and estimating their stability

    Author : Cristian Colliander; Rickard Danell; Olle Persson; Jesper Schneider; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; document-document similarity; science mapping; citation analysis; citation normalization; stability analysis; citation impact; research evaluation; library and information science; biblioteks- och informationsvetenskap;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the methodology at the intersection of relational and evaluative bibliometrics. Experimental investigations are presented that address the question of how we can most successfully produce estimates of the subject similarity between documents. READ MORE

As a result, the Head of the Geological Survey of Sweden, J. G. Andersson, was employed as a geological adviser to the Chinese Government. READ MORE

  7. 5. Human-Robot Interaction and Mapping with a Service Robot : Human Augmented Mapping

    Author : Elin Anna Topp; Henrik I. Christensen; Benjamin J. Kuipers; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Robotics; Human-Robot Interaction; Cognitive modelling; Representation of space; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : An issue widely discussed in robotics research is the ageing society with its consequences for care-giving institutions and opportunities for developments in the area of service robots and robot companions. The general idea of using robotic systems in a personal or private context to support an independent way of living not only for the elderly but also for the physically impaired is pursued in different ways, ranging from socially oriented robotic pets to mobile assistants.
