Map change detection using GPS position data

Självkörande bilar är ett hett forskningsområde och utvecklingen går snabbt framåt. För att teknologin ska vara säker krävs det att alla bilar har en uppdaterad karta över hur vägnätverket ser ut. Om bilen ska kunna använda kartan för navigering behöver den innehålla information om mer än bara var man kan svänga. Information ner på centimeterprecision om vägskyltar, trafikljus, vägmarkeringar och Technology advancement in autonomous driving is accelerating. For the technology to be safe it is crucial for the vehicles to have an updated map, meaning all vehicles should have a correct and identical representation of the current road network. This makes change detection in the maps of great importance, in order to continuously understand and recognize the features that need to be updated. Th

Understanding the Effects of Novel Engineering Targets on Sugar Sensing in S. cerevisiae

Baker´s yeast S. cerevisiae has been engineered in order to enable xylose uptake and utilization from lignocellulosic biomass as this yeast cannot naturally metabolize this pentose sugar. However, xylose is not recognized as a fermentable sugar by S. cerevisiae and recent studies on the effect of xylose on the three main sugar signaling pathways (Snf3p/Rgt2p, SNF1/Mig1pt and cAMP/PKA) have indicat

Are innovations getting harder to create? Evidence from Germany

Innovations and economic growth are tightly connected. They are responsible for the humanity’s progress into a modern and industrialized society; they improved welfare, life quality and solved problems in diverse fields. Implicitly, it is expected that innovations will continue to do so. However, some statistics reveal that this view might be overly optimistic, as investments in innovative activit

Modelling Intensive Care Unit Length of Stay and Mortality Using Artificial Neural Networks

Föreställ dig att det går att förutse vistelsetid och överlevnad inom 30 dagar för en patient som läggs in på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Dessa mått kunnat bidra till en djupare förståelse för intensivvård. Dessutom hade dörrar öppnats för jämförelse av vårdavdelningar sinsemellan. I det här projektet har intagningsdata till intensivvårdsavdelningar, in- nehållande allt ifrån information om kroppstA large data set, consisting of 300 000 patients’ admission data to various intensive care units in Sweden, acquired from the Swedish Intensive Care Register, was used in this work. The aim was to enable accurate Length of Stay (LOS) and mortality within 30 days predictions by using feed-forward Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The LOS outcome was predicted as short versus long time stays, with

Integrationsklausuler vid företagsförvärv - Om problematiken i bortavtalandet av dispositiv lagstiftning

Vid en företagsöverlåtelse utgör ofta det skriftliga förvärvsavtalet en omfattande reglering av parternas respektive rättigheter och skyldigheter. I förvärvsavtalet finns allt som oftast också en s.k. integrationsklausul som stadgar att parternas skriftliga förvärvsavtal är den slutliga och fullständiga regleringen av parternas aktuella rättsförhållande. Uppsatsens syfte är att närmare utreda en aThe written agreement for an acquisition of a company is often an extensive regulation of the parties’ rights and obligations. The written agreement usually also contains a so called “integration clause” which proclaims that the written agreement constitutes the parties’ complete agreement of the transaction. The purpose of this thesis is to further examine a certain problem within a contract inte

Uträtta eller underrätta? - en analys avseende underrättelseplikterna i AB 04 och reklamation, preskription och preklusion

Det finns flera underrättelseplikter av olika karaktär i AB 04. Ett exempel är beställarens reklamationsplikt vid fel i entreprenad i 5 kap. 15 § AB 04. Av bestämmelsen framgår när och hur reklamation ska ske, samt vad som följer av en sen eller utebliven reklamation. I många fall ska dock en underrättelse ske även utan att underrättelsen föregåtts av ett kontraktsbrott. Syftet med föreliggande upIn AB 04 there are several duties of notification of different character. One example is the contractee’s duty to file a notice of claim in accordance to 5 kap. 15 § AB 04 when the construction has gone wrong. The provision states how a notice of claim should be filed, and what happens if it’s late or if it hasn’t been filed at all. In many cases, however, a notification should be sent even withou

RF system for mmWave massive MIMO

Due to rapid developments in communication technology, it is likely that 5G networks will be rolled out in 2019. To adapt to 5G, hardware will have to develop to meet the requirements of this new technology. The mmWave communication is one of the main elements of 5G technology. The mmWave frequency bandwidth is used to carry the data links and can achieve a higher transmission data rate than the

Kommunernas framtid - kommunreform eller samverkan

The municipalities in Sweden are the result of a reform executed between the years 1962-1974 in which smaller municipalities were merged with others, to create larger more economically sustainable units.
