Many complex mechanical systems are simplified by considering them as multibody systems. In recent years, flexible multibody dynamics has become more and more in demand. In~\cite{simeon2013}, a weakly constrained joint model was presented, which in a well-defined way models the interconnection of an elastic and a rigid body by a massless rigid joint. However, the joint model assumes that the orien

Allt fler tjänster idag erbjuder funktionalitet där fritext matas in och relevanta resultat returneras, vilket kräver identifiering av egennamn. Detta arbete utforskar en språkoberoende metod för att identifiera och returnera egennamn i text.This thesis describes a system whose goal is to find named entities in text. The system uses an encoding method, called the fixed ordinally-forgetting encoding, to efficiently encode variable-length text. We applied this encoding to words and characters and we used the resulting vectors as features. The system is language agnostic, and has been evaluated and tested on multiple languages. The syst

This study examines China’s CO2 emissions from 1990 – 2015. Using the LMDI decomposition analysis to calculate energy factors, in order to identify the key sectors contributing to CO2 emissions. While the paper will also take forecasted scenarios from other research alongside consideration of China’s policy implementations in effect in order to reduce CO2 emissions. This paper also uses the Enviro

Extreme weather conditions, energy prices, and power outages have changed the way we think about building comfort. The alternative for excessive power usage is to turn to sustainable solutions and passive strategies to create climate-resilient buildings that do not depend entirely on energy. The challenge is to adapt these passive strategies in a way that benefits the architectural expression as w

Robotar som anpassar sig efter omgivningen utan hjälp från människor blir vanligare och vanligare. Detta arbete skapar ett system för seende anpassat för robotar, som möjliggör identifiering och lokalisering av objekt.The accuracy and portability of depth cameras have increased by a lot in recent years, which allows for advanced 3D scanning of the environment for robotic applications. In this thesis we have developed a system that uses a depth camera mounted on a robot arm to identify and localize arbitrary objects, and give hints on how to move the camera to get better localization results. The system works by

Dagligen ingås det mängder av avtal näringsidkare emellan. Grundprincipen är att det råder avtalsfrihet och att varje part får stå för sina egna risker. Efter införandet av 36 § avtalslagen år 1976, öppnades dock en möjlighet för avtalsparter att få ett avtal jämkat eller ogiltigförklarat i domstol med hjälp av denna generalklausul. 36 § är en mycket omfattande paragraf och innefattar många tänkbaEvery day there are a lot of agreements between traders. The basic principle is that there is freedom of contract and that each party must bear its own risks. After the introduction of Article 36 of the Contracts Act in 1976, an opportunity was opened for contractors to get an agreement adjusted or void in court, with the help of this general clause. The paragraph is very immersive and involves lo
