  1. 1. Quantifying the Impact of Synaptic Delay and Neuronal Refractory Period on Criticality in Hierarchical Modular Neural Networks

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Författare :Hannes Gustafsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Self-organized brain criticality suggests that the brain is able to operate near a critical point.With compelling evidence supporting the theory, it is important to understand whichbiological mechanisms are required for critical dynamics to occur. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Practical evaluation of the viability of sensorsand algorithms to detect falling and burial by avalanche

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Författare :Justus Conradi; Patrik Tiainen; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Mechatronics; Master thesis; fall detection; burial detection; avalanche; skiing; IMU; FSR; Mekatronik; mastersavhandling; fallavkänning; begravningsavkänning; lavin; skidåkning; IMU; FSR;

    Sammanfattning : Avalanches kill on average 250 people per year. Fall detection algorithms have been used to detect many different types of falls. In this work, a robust humanoid test rigwas designed and built to investigate the use of proven threshold based fall detection algorithms during skiing. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Slab and Powder-Snow avalanche animation on the GPU

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Fakulteten för datavetenskaper

    Författare :Åleskog Jonthan; Cheh Daniel; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Avalanche; GPU; DEM; Real-time; Games; Lavin; GPU; DEM; Realtid; Spel;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The video game industry has yet to achieve a physically-based real-time avalanche simulation because of the sheer complexity of modeling the behavior of snow avalanches. An avalanche is made out of snow, meaning it would require a snow simulation which itself already shows to be complex. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Defining the avalanche conditions and the potential impacts of climate changeon avalanche danger in Jämtland, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för ekoteknik- och hållbart byggande

    Författare :Lea-Carlotta Kremp; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Avalanche; climate change; lavinprognoser; avalanche forecast; avalanche danger SEPA; Naturvårdsverket; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : This study aimed to combine avalanche statistics with climate change models in orderto assess how a change in precipitation patterns, snow depth and snow density canimpact the avalanche danger in Jämtland, Sweden. Existing climate model reportsfrom SMHI and the Swedish county administration offices were used, and avalanchestatistics were compiled using data from SEPA from 2017 to 2020. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Spatial Variability in Winter Balance on Storglaciären Modelled With a Coupled Terrain Based Approach

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Yoram Terleth; [2021]
    Nyckelord :mass balance; accumulation; snow transport; snow drift; avalanches; glaciology;

    Sammanfattning : Although most processes governing the surface mass balance on mountain glaciers are well understood, the causes and extent of spatial variability in accumulation remain poorly constrained. In the present study, the EBFM distributed mass balance model is newly coupled to terrain based modelling routines estimating mass redistribution by snowdrift, preferential deposition, and avalanching (ST-EBFM) in order to model winter balance on Storglaciären, Sweden.
