The rapid evolution of machine learning techniques has revolutionized computer vision, particularly with the introduction of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and the optimization of 3D Gaussians for rendering novel scene views. These methods, such as NeRF and Gaussian Splatting, have demonstrated success in synthetic data scenarios with consistent lighting and well-captured scenes. This research expl

Jordan is a very water stressed country with very low annual renewable water resources per capita. The effluent wastewater from two Jordanian phosphate mines (the Al-Abiad and the Eshidiya mine) was analysed and compared with the national and international standards and regulations for irrigation and industrial effluent wastewater. The water management at the mines was examined from a sustainable

Research question: How are metaphors used in Börspodden and how are they expressing biases? Purpose: The purpose of the study is to analyze the metaphoric depiction of biases in podcast within the category of business. This objective is achieved through a discourse analysis to identify the underlying biases that can be interpreted from the use of metaphors. Methodology: The purpose of the study

The bachelor course AAHF30 - Architecture in the Contemporary explores various digital processes and fabrication techniques to address critical climate change issues through an individual design in the form of a naturum. The Notus naturum project originated from observing a site characterized by flat terrain and strong winds, prompting an investigation into wind's impact on ecosystems and clim

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att identifiera vad som definierar ett framgångsrikt byggprojekt och vilka framgångsfaktorerna är för att säkerställa att projektet enligt beställaren blir framgångsrikt. Vidare är syftet att undersöka hur kravställningen i de administrativa föreskrifterna påverkar ett projekts framgång. Frågeställningar: • Hur definierar beställaren ett framgångsrikt projekt? • Vilka

The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive capabilities of hand-calculation methods and simulations using FDS in understanding the behavior of a tunnel fire in terms of temperature and incident radiation. Additionally, the study aimed to examine the repeatability of a large-scale fire experiment. The research commenced with the execution of three similar experiments, further calle

Swedish public service radio has during its almost 100 years undergone several transformations due to technical, societal and cultural changes. A transformation still in motion can be attributed to the arrival of the internet, the digitalization of the recording, storage and distribution of sound, as well as the fast paced evolution of the global media landscape. When the mp3-file and the internet

Climate change forces organisms to adapt to new habitats with migratory birds facing unique challenges, especially when they initiate the migratory behaviour to gain mass for migration. Many bird species adapt to their ancestral latitudes by changing their behaviour and physiology to the photic environment. Current predictions indicate that climate change can also limit range shift capacity due to

This study investigates and describes the Haemosporidian parasite composition of the host bird community in the Ammarnäs area from 1999 to 2020, along with the effect of avian malaria infection on host body condition, based on a data set comprising body measurements and infection status for the Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and Leucocytozoon genera in captured birds from five sample years, and also a

All organisms are made up ofcells, the smallest functional unit of life. While organisms such asplants and animalscan consist of trillions of cells, others consist of just one cell.One group of unicellularorganisms is called bacteria. Because oftheir small size, bacteria and other microscopic small organisms are classified as microorganisms. In nature, mostbacteria do not live as single cells. Th

Anna Sundgren, MOBM02 September 23 - January 24, Department of Biology, Lund University Baby infection as Alzheimer´s disease protection? The characteristic pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) includes accumulation of amyloid-beta protein as plaques, and tau-protein as tangles in the brain. Another important feature of the disease is neuroinflammation. One important risk gene for AD is the apo

This study aimed to investigate various properties associated with human protein deletions, encompassing deletion length and position, amino acid composition, flanking amino acid composition, functions of the host proteins, the functional role of the corresponding gene, relative positioning with protein domains, protein structure within the deletion region, and conservation, to identify potential

Bakgrund: Meningsfulla aktiviteter är sammankopplade med hälsa och välbefinnande. När människor åldras eller deras förutsättningar för aktivitet förändras kan förlusten av meningsfulla aktiviteter leda till ohälsa. Äldre personer kan både förlora förmågan att utföra aktiviteter, men också finna att förutsättningar till aktivitetsutförande förändras när hemmiljö och äldreboende blir ett. Syfte: SyfBackground: Meaningful activities are interconnected with health and well-being. When people age or their circumstances for engaging in occupations change, a loss of meaningful activities can occur, leading to illness. Older people may not only lose the ability to perform occupations but may also find that their circumstances for engaging in occupations change when the home environment and nursing

Inom vägbyggnad har det skett minimala förändringar av byggmetodiken sedan det romerska imperiets tid, detta fram till att McAdam dök upp. McAdams filosofi handlade om att bygga en ogenomtränglig och upphöjd överbyggnad i förhållande till de omgivande ytorna för att minimera vatteneffekterna på konstruktionen. Med hänsyn till dagens klimatförändringar krävs dock implementering av nyare konstruktioIn road construction there have been minimal changes to the construction since the time of the Roman empire, until the time of McAdam. McAdam’s philosophy included an impermeable and raised superstructure in relation to the surrounding surfaces to minimize the water effects on the construction. In view of today's challenges with climate change, however, new thinking is required in road constru

RNA-seq has become a revolutionary tool for genome-wide gene expression analysis, opening new possibilities for research. This study focuses on using RNA-seq data for variant calling at Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in a non-model organism, the bank vole. Variant calling from RNA-seq can for example be used for Allele-Specific Expression (ASE) analysis which sheds light on the impact of genetic
