In order to minimize the damage inflicted in healthy tissue during radiotherapy, it is vital to verify the dose absorbed by the patient. A common approach is the use of dosimetry gels in which local radiolysis processes are induced through radiation. As the subsequent read-out using Magnetic Resonance Imaging techniques is time-consuming, the here presented thesis investigates a new approach based

Traditionell juridisk metod har använts men det finns också inslag där en kan se att denna metod påverkats av en pro-blem- och intresseorienterad anThe central question of this essay arose when the author observed that a new marketplace has emerged.

This master thesis is about improving the accuracy of a Gantry-Tau robot by identifying the key parameters in the kinematics of the robot. This is done using a vision system and then estimating the parameters by minimizing the closure equation of the kinematics. The robot with improved control is then used for additive manufacturing. Furthermore, a prototype for a large plastic printer head is pre

An extensive part of the Swedish roads are low-traffic roads, which are not properly constructed and thus lack the necessary bearing capacity.

En ökande konsumtion av läkemedel och andra kemiska föreningar har visat sig ge effekter i vattnets ekosystem, t.ex. fiskar som p.g.a. antidepressiva läkemedel blir orädda och därmed blir ett lätt byte för större fiskar. Med stora mängder avloppsvatten innehållande dessa ämnen blir därför avloppsreningsverkens reningsförmåga aktuell. Dagens avloppsreningsverk och tillhörande reningskrav behandlar Pharmaceutical and other micro-pollutants are passing through today’s Swedish municipal wastewater treatment plants where they are decomposed partly or completely. The knowledge of all these different compounds varies and so does the knowledge of their effects on the aquatic environment. Some of them are harmless while others are classified as more or less toxic. With EU’s Water Framework Directiv
