GPU Usage for Parallel Functions and Contacts in Modelica

This thesis investigates two ways of incorporating GPUs in Modelica. The first by automatically generating GPU code for Modelica functions, and the second by using GPU accelerated external code for a contact handling package. Automatic parallelization of functions is desired, as it can potentially accelerate large simulations significantly. Special patterns of nested for-loops in Modelica code are

Framtida möjligheter på den växtbaserade mejerimarknaden

Bakgrund Att hela 90 procent av den svenska befolkningen konsumerar mejeriprodukter varje dag visar på hur starkt integrerad denna typ av produkt är i den svenska kulturen.

Magnetomotive Ultrasound Imaging to Estimate Tissue Elastic Properties - Experiments and Simulations

Magnetomotoriskt ultraljud är en ny bildgivande teknik som kombinerar vanligt ultraljud med ett pålagt tidsvarierande magnetfält för att åstadkomma en detekterbar rörelse i vävnad. Genom att injicera magnetiska nanopartiklar i området man vill undersöka kan på så sätt viktig information tillgodogöras. Superparamagnetiska järnoxidpartiklar har i drygt ett årtionde varit ett godkänt kontrastmedel fMagnetomotive ultrasound imaging is an imaging technique that utilizes regular ultrasound in combination with an applied time varying magnetic field to induce motion of magnetic nanoparticles injected in the region. This motion can be detected and give valuable information about the particle laden region. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been approved for over a decade for use with
