  1. 1. Studies of auroral processes using optical methods

    Författare :Katarina Axelsson; Michael J. Taylor; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rymdteknik; Space Technology;

    Sammanfattning : The Aurora is a visual manifestation of the complex plasma processes that occur as the solar wind interacts with the Earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere. Therefore, studies of the aurora can lead to better understanding of the near-Earth space environment and of fundamental physical processes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Inter-annual variability of rainfall in Central America : Connection with global and regional climate modulators

    Författare :Tito Maldonado; Björn Claremar; Eric J. Alfaro; Jorge A. Amador; Michael Taylor; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Precipitation; climate variability; El Niño Southern Oscillation; Tropical North Atlantic; Canonical Correlation Analysis; EC-EARTH; Caribbean Low-Level Jet;

    Sammanfattning : Central America is a region regularly affected by natural disasters, with most of them having a hydro-meteorological origin. Therefore, the understanding of annual changes of precipitation upon the region is relevant for planning and mitigation of natural disasters. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Kalman Filters for Nonlinear Systems and Heavy-Tailed Noise

    Författare :Michael Roth; Fredrik Gustafsson; Simo Särkkä; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is on filtering in state space models. First, we examine approximate Kalman filters for nonlinear systems, where the optimal Bayesian filtering recursions cannot be solved exactly. These algorithms rely on the computation of certain expected values. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Brussels : a reflexive world city

    Författare :Camilla Elmhorn; Peter Taylor; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; world city cities; global city cities; Brussels; global-local interplay; economic reflexivity; neo-Marshallian nodes; agglomeration economies; European cities; economic restructuring; labour market transformations; informal economy; spatial segregation; Economic history; Ekonomisk historia; ekonomisk historia; Economic History;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation analyses the consequences of seemingly placeless processes like the European integration and the increasing economic globalisation on Brussels and the people living there. The study shows that Brussels has become one of our time's most important international political capitals and a leading business node in Europe. LÄS MER

  7. 5. An Immersed Finite Element Method and its Application to Multiphase Problems

    Författare :Alexei Loubenets; Björn Engquist; Michael Shelley; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fluid and plasma physics; applied mechanics; computer science; Numerical analysis; Numerisk analys;

    Sammanfattning : Multiphase flows are frequently encountered in many important physical and industrial applications. These flows are usually characterized by very complicated structure that involves free moving surfaces inside the fluid domain and discontinuous or even singular material properties of the flow.
