  1. 1. Land Mine Detection using Dual-Band Electro-Optical Sensing

    Författare :Magnus Lundberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; land mines; regularization; nuisance parameters; detection; infrared imaging; occlusion modeling; multi-spectral imaging; prior knowledge; Signalbehandling;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses the detection of buried and partially occluded land mines using electro-optical sensing. According to the Red Cross approximately 10000 people are killed and another 30000 are injured each year in mine related accidents. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Characterization and analysis of the astrometric errors in the global astrometric solution for Gaia

    Författare :Berry Holl; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astrometry; Catalogs; Methods: data analysis; statistical; numerical; analytical; Space vehicles: instruments; Instrumentation: detectors;

    Sammanfattning : The space astrometry mission Gaia, planned for launch in 2013 by the European Space Agency (ESA), will provide the most comprehensive and accurate catalogue of astrometric data for galactic and astrophysical research in the coming decades. It will observe roughly one billion stars, quasars and other point like objects for which the five astrometric parameters (position, parallax and proper motion) will be determined. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Computerized achievement tests : sequential and fixed length tests

    Författare :Marie H. Wiberg; Hans Nyquist; Ulf Olsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; item respons theory; sequential analysis; statistical inference; power; optimal design; simulations; Statistik; Statistics; Statistik; Statistics; statistik;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this dissertation is to describe how a computerized achivement test can be constructed and used in practice. Throughout this dissertation the focus is on classifying the examinees into masters and non-masters depending on their ability. However, there has been no attempt to estimate their ability. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Weigh them all! : Cosmological searches for the neutrino mass scale and mass ordering

    Författare :Sunny Vagnozzi; Katherine Freese; Lars Bergström; Alessandra Silvestri; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; neutrinos; neutrino mass; neutrino mass ordering; cosmology; cosmic microwave background; large-scale structure; galaxy surveys; dark energy; cosmic inflation; data analysis; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Sammanfattning : The elusive neutrinos are among the most intriguing constituents of the particle zoo. The observation of neutrino flavour oscillations, indicating that neutrinos are massive, provides the only direct evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Generalised linear models with clustered data

    Författare :Henrik Holmberg; Göran Broström; Kenneth Carling; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Statistics; Statistik; Statistics; statistik;

    Sammanfattning : In situations where a large data set is partitioned into many relativelysmall clusters, and where the members within a cluster have some common unmeasured characteristics, the number of parameters requiring estimation tends to increase with sample size if a fixed effects model is applied. This fact causes the assumptions underlying asymptotic results to be violated. LÄS MER
