The objective of this thesis has been to create a tuning functionality that can determine the control parameters for a crane that loads and unloads containers from ships. To accomplish this a model of the crane has been developed in MapleSIM and exported into MATLAB’s Simulink. In MATLAB cost functions have been developed and evaluated to later be used in optimisation algorithms to find the optima

Kan skogen vara vår räddning? Vält känt är att skogen tar upp kol genom fotosyntesen och binder det i sin biomassa. Men är detta ett fenomen som kan nyttjas för att hejda klimatförändringarna? Detta arbete undersöker förändringen och storleken av kollagring och albedo i samband med beskogning av skånska betesmarker i syfte att begränsa klimatförändringar. Beskogning kan fungera som ett verktyg Using reforestation for climate change mitigation is complex due to the multiple impacts forest has on climate. This study analyses the effectiveness in using reforestation on pasture in Scania (south Sweden) as a tool for climate mitigation.

This Master’s thesis evaluates the performance of lightweight compression algorithm aimed for IoT sensor devices. These devices are most often battery driven and produce large amounts of sensor data which is sent wirelessly. Compressing the data could be a tool in decreasing the power usage of these devices. The algorithms were evaluated based on their compression ratio, memory consumption and CPU

I ljusFollowing a grievous past, marred by decades of bloody conflict and genocide, Cambodia witnessed its entire government machine turn into shreds at the hands of cruelty. To this day Cambodia’s public institutions remain among the weakest and most corrupt in the world, impeding effective enjoyment of rights governed by the rule of law. In the light of this I examine how the country has managed to i
