6. Pinhole Camera Calibration in the Presence of Human Noise
Sammanfattning : The research work presented in this thesis is concerned with the analysis of the human body as a calibration platform for estimation of a pinhole camera model used in Augmented Reality environments mediated through Optical See-Through Head-Mounted Display. Since the quality of the calibration ultimately depends on a subject’s ability to construct visual alignments, the research effort is initially centered around user studies investigating human-induced noise, such as postural sway and head aiming precision.

7. Touching the Essence of Life : Haptic Virtual Proteins for Learning
Sammanfattning : This dissertation presents research in the development and use of a multi-modal visual and haptic virtual model in higher education. The model, named Chemical Force Feedback (CFF), represents molecular recognition through the example of protein-ligand docking, and enables students to simultaneously see and feel representations of the protein and ligand molecules and their force interactions.

8. Understanding European Arms Export Controls : Material Interests and Competing Norms
Sammanfattning : This thesis seeks to better understand the formation and implementation of the restrictions that the EU and EU member states have imposed on exports of military and security equipment. Specifically, the thesis develops two norms-based theoretical frameworks for understanding how and why particular restrictions become integrated in states’ national and collective export controls, why others are rejected, and the different ways this integration occurs.

9. Organic Phosphorus Compounds in Aquatic Sediments : Towards Molecular Identification with Mass Spectrometry
Sammanfattning : Phosphorus (P) regulates trophic status in most aquatic systems. However, only bioavailable P contributes to primary production. In most lakes and shallow seas, mineralisation of sediment P into its bioavailable form and its release to the water column is important for maintaining primary production. LÄS MER
10. Essays on Financial Markets and the Macroeconomy
Sammanfattning : Asset pricing implications of a DSGE model with recursive preferences and nominal rigidities. I study jointly macroeconomic dynamics and asset prices implied by a production economy featuring nominal price rigidities and Epstein-Zin (1989) preferences. LÄS MER
