The interest for renewable energy within Australia is growing and the New South Wales (NSW) Government has committed to a Renewable Energy Target scheme of 20 percent renewable energy by 2020. Wind energy is a mature renewable energy resource, which has been successfully deployed for electricity generation around the world. It is further believed to be a viable option to help expand the renewable

This thesis makes a review of existing algorithms and methods for route choice. Algorithms and methods already implemented in fire evacuation simulators are examined, as well as those that are implemented in computer games, traffic models or theoretical models that are to date not implemented at all. An analysis is made to get an overview of their strengths and limitations to be able to determine

Agricultural intensification has led to the homogenization of the landscape and the disappearance of diverse habitats with rich flower resources that are important for pollinating insects. The main insect pollinators, by far, are bees. And while honey bees (Apis mellifera) are the best known, there are also hundreds of other species of bees that contribute to pollination services. Due to their for

The wildlife park Kolmården in Norrköping, Sweden, asked for a device that could visually feedback how dolphins use their ultrasound signals while echolocating objects. By recording the sound from the dolphin, process the sound and then create a visual feedback by having LED's flash in different frequencies, depending on the distance between dolphin and device. The purpose of the device is havVisual response to dolphin echolocation It is well known that dolphins use echolocation but how about watching what actually happens? A device that shows the audience some of the information contained within the emitted ultrasonic waves. It is a small fish look-alike device that is created to simulate how the dolphins behave while hunting. By picking up the echolocation signals sent out from the

Emojis are an increasingly popular addition to written smartphone communication. Since emojis are a rather new phenomena, there is a lot that we do not know about the usage and interpretation of emojis in written communication. This bachelor thesis focuses on the production and interpretation of emojis among Swedish university students, and through a focus group interview, possible functions, inte

Häktning är ett straffprocessuellt tvångsmedel som används i brottsmål för att underlätta polisens och åklagarens utredning av ett misstänkt brott. Häktning innebär att en person misstänkt för ett specifikt brott får sina rättigheter inskränkta med laga stöd. Häktning är en frihetsberövande åtgärd som används trots att den misstänkte personen ännu inte är dömd. De särskilda häktningsgrunder som enThe use of detention in a remand prison is a tool of pre-trial supervision in order to facilitate the investigation of an alleged crime. The grounds for using detention in a remand prison for a person suspected for an alleged crime is the risk of the suspect continuing its criminal acts, the flight risk of the suspect and the risk of the suspect having a unduly effect on the investigation of the a

Materia är uppbyggd av atomer. Atomer är uppbyggda av tre typer av partiklar: protoner, elektroner och neutroner. Neutronen är beståndsdelen som blev sist upptäckt. Elektronen upptäcktes av J.J. Thompson. Ernest Rutherford upptäckte att atomer har en positivt laddad kärna. Det här var bevis på protonens existens. Under Rutherfords tid så visste man redan om neutronen men det var inte förrän 1932 dThe aim of this project was to measure the profile of the radiation exiting an aperture of the Aquarium at the Source Testing Facility at the Division of Nuclear Physics at Lund University. So far, the outgoing beam of radiation at the aperture of the Aquarium has been assumed to be uniform. The radiation is produced by a Beryllium-based radioactive source and comes in the form of neutrons and γ-r

In this thesis we present a model for ex-ante risk attribution in a decision based investment process. We first define the Investment Decision Process Model and apply it on a real industry case. Furthermore, we present a flexible approach to attribute the active risk associated with multiple active investment decisions in an investment process. In addition, we formulate a decision based risk attri

2014 höll Sveriges geologiska undersökning (SGU) tävlingen ”Mineraljakten” med syfte att engagera allmänheten och utöka förståelsen kring hur olika metaller och mineral används i vår vardag. Till tävlingen kom det in ett fynd av vaskguld från Skåne som premierades med fjärde pris för den ovanliga fyndplatsen. Då det inte finns några kända förekomster av guld i Skåne är det av intresse att försöka 2014 the geological survey of Sweden held a competition ”mineraljakten” (the mineral hunt), the purpose of the competition was to engage the public and enhance the public perception of metals and minerals in their daily life. One sample came in to the competition with gold from a placer deposit that was rewarded with the fourth place because of the unusual location in Scania. As there are no known

The purpose of this research is to identify how God’s actions are talked about in sermons in the Church of Sweden and how this is perceived by the listeners. The research questions that guide this study are: How do priests in the Church of Sweden in the diocese of Lund talk about God in their sermons? And how is this perceived by the participants in the Sunday service? To answer these questio

In this project epitaxially grown InAs-GaSb complex heterostructured nanowires have been characterized by means of aberration corrected TEM techniques and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The InAs-GaSb material is of interest due to its high charge carrier mobility, which has possible applications in electronic devices such as FETs. InAs-GaSb heterostructured nanowires in zincblende str

Denna uppsats undersöker svensktalares användning av s-plural vid formationen av obestämd- och bestämdform pluralis. Ämnet behandlas genom en kvantitativ studie i form av en internetbaserad enkätundersökning. I jämförelse med tidigare studier så ger en större databas möjligheten att generalisera på ett sätt som inte vad möjligt i tidigare undersökningar. Med det sagt presenterar denna undersökningThis thesis is a study of Swedish speakers’ use of s-plurals in the formation of both indefinite and definite plurals. The topic is investigated using a quantitive method in the form of an online questionnaire. In comparison to previous studies, a larger number of informants provides this study with the possibility of making generalizations that were not possible before. As such, it brings new imp

Tidigare forskning visar att västerländsk konstmusik efter 1945 är en stilistiskt pluralistisk musikform som tillhandahåller verktyg för att främja elevernas musikaliska förmågor. Studiens syfte är att undersöka tyska och svenska musiklärares föreställningar om västerländsk konstmusik efter 1945 i relation till deras egen musikundervisning. I samband med arbetet genomfördes kvalitativa intervjuer Earlier studies have shown that Western classical music after 1945 is characterised by a pluralistic style which offers a range of tools for nurturing pupil's musical abilities. The purpose of this study is to examine German and Swedish music teacher's ideas about Western classical music after 1945 in relation to their own music classes. Three German music teachers and three Swedish music

Sömnbrist är ett växande hälsoproblem. Sömnsvårigheter och mindre sömn/natt rapporteras öka bland ungdomar som behöver stöd i att skapa sunda levnadsvanor vilket skolsköterskor har goda möjligheter att arbeta både stödjande och hälsofrämjande med. Syftet med studien var därför att beskriva sömnvanor bland elever i årskurs två på gymnasiet och deras attityder till sömn som ett underlag för skolsköt

Sammanfallet mellan betonat kort /i/ och betonat kort /e/ i Götaland har studerats baserat på materialet i SweDia-korpusarna. Ett exempel på det sammanfallet är att fisk kan uttalas ”fesk”. En dataanalys av korpusen för undersökning av fonem gjordes, liksom en analys av korpusen för spontant tal. Resultatet av dataanalysen visar inte på att uttalet med /e/ skulle vara vanligare i Västsverige än i
