Utvärdering av smooth pursuit-rörelser. En jämförelse mellan ögonrörelser och rörliga objekt i videosekvenser Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av examensarbetet: Andrea Åkerström Ett forskningsområde som har vuxit mycket de senaste åren är ”eye tracking”: en teknik för att undersöka ögonrörelser. Tekniken har visat sig intressant för studier inom exempelvis visuella system, i psykologi och i intWhen viewing moving objects in videos the movement of the eyes is called smooth pursuit. For evaluating the relationship of eye tracking data to the moving objects, the objects in the videos need to be detected and tracked.

Kvävereningen på Svedala avloppsreningsverk har under perioder varit ansträngd och Svedala kommun frågade sig därför vad som kunde göras för att förbättra kvävereningen så att kvävereningskravet på 10 mg/l kväve klaras till 2030 då ytterligare 3000 personer förväntas vara anslutna.

Konstruktörer och utvecklare använder sig av ett traditionsbaserat tänk vid toleranssättning, då kunskapen kring området är lågt och då kunskapen kring kostnader kopplat till olika toleransintervall saknas. Detta medför att onödigt hårda krav stThe area of concern is an up to date subject within the manufacturing industry, were it is well known that high tolerance-requirements contributes to increased costs and scraps.

Kan man tjuvlyssna på bakteriers kommunikation? - I infektioner finns ofta flera olika sorters bakterier och de kommunicerar med varandra. Detta kan förvärra infektionen och leda till antibiotikaresistens. Nya metoder behövs därför för att ta reda på mer om de signalmolekyler som bakterier använder för att kommunicera.Deepening our knowledge about bacterial infections is of high priority in the work against antimicrobial resistance. Many infections are as well polymicrobial, and the different bacterial species are able to affect each other by cell-cell communication. This is a phenomenon that in several cases is known to enhance the virulence and the severity of the infection. Therefore, new approaches to study
