The RADASS (Remote Access Dual Automatic Switch Spray) system is thought to be the future solution for frozen rail switches. Frozen switches are a yearly reoccurring issue and cause long delays in rail traffic, which require a vast amount of personnel and resources to fix. Spraying chemicals manually by railway workers is the most common method to deal with the issue; the system intends to automat
Minskning av barnfattigdom har de senaste decennierna varit ett hett ämne på den politiska dagordningen i rika länder. Trots att Sveriges barnfattigdom är låg, relativt till andra länder, innebär den enorma samhälleliga förluster i form av minskat humankapital. I denna uppsats har barnfattigdomen i Sveriges kommuner undersökts och analyserats för åren 2007 till 2012. Infallsvinkeln är ny och ger e
Multi-atlas segmentation is a widely used method that has proved to work well for the problem of segmenting organs in medical images. But standard methods are time consuming and the amount of data quickly grows to a point making use of these methods intractable. In this work we present a fully automatic method for segmentation of the pericardium in 3D CTA-images. We use a multi-atlas approach base
Arbetet är en examensuppsats på termin sex vid Ekonomiska Högskolan Lund, systemvetenskapligt kandidatprogram.

Inom den Svenska byggindustrin har Betonghandboken Material länge tjänat som ett naturligt val av hjälpmedel för ingenjörer som har stött på ett betongtekniskt problem. Den senaste utgåvan av Betonghandboken material publicerades 1994. Detta gör att många av de kunskaper vi har idag inom betongområdet går outnyttjade då man använder sig av Betonghandboken. Det finns ett behov att sammanfatta de ku
As part of the development of the European electricity grid, the EU has decided that ‘Smart Meters’ should be installed in 80% of the households of the EU by 2020. It is expected that this will lead to a reduction of energy use in the residential sector in the order of 10%. Driven by the so-called ‘Information-Deficit’ model, a critical assumption in this policy development is that provision of in

Inter-governmental climate talks have, over a twenty-year period, had little success in implementing measures to mitigate human-induced climate change. Their fundamental perspective, one of economic rationality, has not provided a compelling or effective basis for achieving their desired goals. Over the same interval, at the local scale, various constituencies have come together to address climate

Tendons connect muscles to bone and consist of a complex structure of almost parallel collagen fibres embedded in a hydrated matrix. The mechanical behaviour of tendons is viscoelastic and highly non-linear. The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body and it is essential for walking and jumping. It is the most frequently ruptured tendon in humans and today there is no consensus on what i
