The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of both online and offline fault location and state of health technologies for airport series circuits used to provide power to light fixtures on the runway. In current series circuits, only some ground faults can be detected and no automated fault location or state of health features are available. Fault location is currently performed w

Using derivative securities can help investors increase their expected returns as well as minimize their exposure to risk. For a risk-averse investor, options can offer both insurance and leverage and for a more risk-loving investor they can be used as speculation. Basket option is a kind of option whose payoff de- pends on an arbitrary portfolio of assets. The basket is made out of a weighted sum

This report is about further development of a test rig called the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Test Rig, called the DMRC Test Rig. A method for testing pneumatic valves,used in the systems for train brakes and called brake valves, was developed.The main objective was to automatize the testing of all existing and future developed pneumatic brake valves, made by the company Faiveley Transport, using

Uruguay is facing a care crisis due to low birth rates, the increase in life expectancy and the inclusion of women in the labor market. Between 2010 and 2012 the official discussions about the creation of a new Integrated National System of Care social policy reform were carried out. In this research, the relationships between the market, the society and the state present in those initial delibera

Geographic information system multi-criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) procedure can combine criterion maps together and associated the criterion weights to acquire an overall value for each spatial location in the research area. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), Ordered Weighted averaging (OWA) are three generic algo

Den här undersökningen avsåg svara på frågor om relationen mellan lögner, Social Dominans Orientering (SDO) och Honesty-Humility. Social önskvärdhet undersöktes också i relation med alla variabler. Metoden som valdes för den här undersökningen var webbaserade enkäter med ett bekvämlighetsurval, med 131 deltagare. Resultatet blev att Honesty-Humility hade en signifikant stark negativ korrelation meThis paper was designed to answer some questions about the relationship between lies, Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) and Honesty-Humility. Social desirability was also investigated in relation to all the other variables. The method chosen for this paper was a web based survey with a comfort selection and 131 participants. The result was that Honesty-Humility had a significant strong negative c

Energy efficient wireless devices is a trend that has been on the rise the last few years. Energy efficiency properties may fill a function in wireless sensor networks where the devices could run on coin-cell batteries and still last for years. To make sense of the sensor data collected, there is a requirement of accurate time synchronization in the network. This report focuses on investigating if

Periodic Shadowing is a software post-processing technique for suppressing stray light. A proof-of-concept was recently published so an analysis of the involved parameters is needed to allow for a deeper understanding of the technique. In this project the three most important parameters in the technique are analyzed and their impact on the results of optical spectroscopy measurements is evaluated

Syftet med uppsatsen är att finna en modell som väl beskriver fördelningen för orderdata från Google Adwords och att finna ett lämpligt sätt att skatta det förväntade värdet för en order. Vi gör detta på uppdrag av marknadsföringsbyrån Precis Digital. Från dem erhåller vi data för en av deras kunder. Till att börja med anpassar vi ett antal olika sannolikhetsfördelningar med Maximum-Likelihood-metThe purpose of this paper is to find a model that describes the distribution of Google Adwords order data and to find an appropriate method to estimate the expected value for an order. We do this on behalf of the marketing agency Precis Digital. We receive data for one of their customers. To begin with we fit some widely used probability distributions using the Maximum-Likelihood method and invest

A product with the need for a wireless communication between itself and a smartphone will be developed. A suitable wireless protocol and module will be chosen and evaluated. How should the software be designed? What functions should be available? In the end the module and software will be tested in the field to see how it works in reality. For the choosing of protocol, the following will be discus

The coastal city of Kalmar is known as an attractive summer destination, both locally and internationally. The coast has long been included as one of the municipality’s priority goals. In its city development vision, the municipality strives to utilize the coast and take it into consideration in urban planning. On the other hand, Kalmar has a historic character, which is visible through its urban

Trafikeringen av järnvägsnätet, den infrastruktur som i detta fall Trafikverket förvaltar, kräver att Trafikverket med god framförhållning kan planera när och vart tåg ska trafikera järnvägsnätet. Detta beskrivs i en tågplan. Vårt arbete syftar till att undersöka hur den konsumerade kapaciteten förändrats på Värmlandsbanan mellan driftplatserna Laxå-Åmotfors från det att tågplanen upprättades till

This research is based on the hypothesis that the EU water legislation establish river basin management rules which are based on better scientific knowledge and available technologies than the existing national policy and legal framework supporting water management in Uganda. It is however acknowledged that the requirements of the existing EU water policies are hardly often directly applied to the

The exact solution of the reduced pairing Hamiltonian is compared to the BCS mean field approximation for low particle numbers in finite systems. A combination of two different methods for solving the Richardson equations is presented. One of the methods originally intended to be solved analytically is instead adapted to a numerical scheme. The comparison includes the pairing gap parameter, as app

Axelfrakturer hos äldre - En biomekanisk analys Av alla frakturer är ungefär 6% axelnära frakturer, eller proximala humerusfrakturer som de också kallas. Det är den tredje vanligaste frakturen hos äldre och 80% av de som drabbas är kvinnor. År 2030 förväntas den här typen av frakturer vara tre gånger fler jämfört med idag på grund av den ständigt åldrande populationen. Riskfaktorer för proximala h6 % of all fractures are located at the proximal humerus. Proximal humerus fractures are the third most common fracture amongst elderly and 80 % of the patients are women. Today there are no existing standardized treatment protocol for elderly with this kind of injury. Therefore, the main objective of this dissertation was to examine if and also how the conservative treatment of proximal humerus f

I mitt arbete inom LSS har jag sett att det finns svårigheter för personer med kognitiv funktionsnedsättning att förstå och tolka skriftlig information. Appar, olika internetsidor med lättläst text och andra slags elektroniska hjälpmedel finns det gott om. Således är de svårigheter jag märkt av sådana att jag fått vara behjälplig i att exempelvis förklara vad som står på en skylt som hänger ovanfö
