The Identifiability of Osteological Traits on 3D Models of Human Skeletal Remains

Previous studies have entertained the prospect of having 3D models substitute for their dry bone originals in osteological analysis. The objective of this study was to contribute to qualifying to what extent this may be possible given current technology. To this purpose, rather than choosing just a quantitative and purely technical method for evaluating models, as has been the norm in previous stu

Efficient and robust map building from a downward looking camera with loop closing

Since good cameras are becoming cheaper and embedded systems are getting more powerful, using cameras as the only sensor is getting more popular for visual navigation of robots.

Magasinet På Hullkajen - En studie i atmosfärer och rum.

I det här examensarbetet har jag låtit ett gammalt hamnmagasin transformeras till ett bibliotek. Det är ett projekt som handlar både om remake och om inredningsarkitektur. Jag ser arbetet som en undersökning av hur man kan ta sig an en byggnad med hjälp av inredning och låta möbler, material och ljus stå för både det rumsskapande och det stämningsskapande.This master thesis is about the transformation of an old warehouse into a new sort of library. It is a project on building conservation and interior architecture. I have been investigating how furniture, material and light can be used for creating different types of spaces and atmospheres.

Wimmer användes för att undersöka huruvida lämpliga åtgärder tillämpats för att förhindra att fragmenteringen bryter ut i en konflikt. Materi

Optimization of a rapid method for detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food matrices

Detection of Listeria monocytogenes by the microbiological standard method (ISO 11290-1) is time consuming and requires several days to get results, thus a more rapid detection method is required. The aim of this study is to continue the optimization of a rapid method that is based on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to detect L. monocytogenes in food matrices. The method is based on

Advantages of using Virtual Reality as a financial instrument

Samtidigt så står bankernas sätt att presentera finansiell information förhållandevis stilla och utgörs fortfarande av listor och 2D-grafer. I studien In recent years, the phenomenon of Virtual Reality has been highlighted by most technology-interested persons around the world. The technology allows visualization and interaction with environments, which in real life would be too costly to recreate. At the same time, the banking sector’s ways of presenting financial information are relatively old fashioned and still consist of lists and 2D graphs
