How fish eyes may save yours?According to the World Health Organization, cataract was responsible for over half of the blindness world-wide in 2010. Getting a cataract means that the lens inside your eye gets clouded, preventing clear, sharp vision. Cataract can be caused by age, physical trauma, genetics, or even skin disease. It can virtually happen to everyone. It is possible to fix cataract byI have investigated some of the biological regulatory mechanisms governing the development of crystalline lenses. I used fish as model animals because they possess optically interesting lenses, while the geometrical simplicity of fish lenses allows for studies that are difficult or impossible with the lenses of other animals.First we have investigated lens optical plasticity by measuring longitudi

Purpose: In preparation of several future missions with the objective to research the large icy moons of the Solar System, it is necessary to have a cohesive understanding of the conditions that might lead to the formation of liquid oceans in these moons. The purpose of this work is to create a numerical model for simulating the temperature evolution of the cores of large icy moons. Method: Assumi

Inspired by environmental peacebuilding literature, this research explores the peacebuilding potential of natural resources through a qualitative case study of a conflict-affected community’s transition of livelihood strategies from coca cultivation to butterfly farming. The fieldwork was carried out with peasant families in rural Otanche - a biodiversity-rich area that, besides the Colombian conf

Net CO2 emissions have been calculated for the production and transportation of biomass in Swedish agriculture and forestry, using fossil-fuel-based energy inputs. An analysis of how a transition from a fossil-fuel-based energy system to a CO2-neutral biomass-based system would affect the energy efficiency in biomass production and transportation, has also been carried out. Production and transpor

Parents often have a busy time sorting out their life puzzles, including getting information about their children's activities in school. More and more communication between teachers and parents take place via digital school systems. It can be hard for parents to find the information they are looking for and the teacher decides when information is sent and what communication method to use. All par

Pepsin‐catalyzed synthesis of protected peptides was studied in two‐phase systems containing up to 50% (by volume) of aqueous phase. A methodological study was carried out to determine the optimum conditions for the synthesis of the model protected peptide Z‐Phe‐Phe‐OMe. Several parameters such as concentrations of carboxylic and amino components, pH of the aqueous phase, ratio of organic to aqueo

We present a fast algorithm for the subset convolution problem:given functions f and g defined on the lattice of subsets of ann-element set n, compute their subset convolution f*g, defined for S⊆ N by [ (f * g)(S) = [T ⊆ S] f(T) g(S/T),,]where addition and multiplication is carried out in an arbitrary ring. Via Möbius transform and inversion, our algorithm evaluates the subset convolution in O(n2

Inom stålindustrin är naturlig konvektion en konventionell kylningsmetod. Genom att öka kylhastigheten jämfört med naturlig konvektion kan produktiviteten öka då kylbäddarna kan kortas och stålplåtarna tillbringar mindre tid under kylning. Detta frigör plats och sparar tid. Då möjligheten att använda infraljud till kylning redan har bekräftats genom experiment, ska denna masteruppsats försöka besvIn the steel industry, a conventional cooling method is natural convection. By increasing the cooling rate compared to natural convection, the productivity can be increased as cooling beds can be shortened, and the steel plates spend less time in cooling. This frees up space and saves time. As the ability to use infrasound for cooling had already been verified through experiments, this master thes

In order to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels it is of paramount importance that renewable sources are used as effectively as possible. Therefore it is necessary to store excess energy when supply is higher than de-mand. One way to do so is by storing the energy as compressed air in a porous aquifer. The Lund Sandstone in the Kyrkheddinge area, Skåne, southern Sweden, has previously been inv

This study examines whether machine learning (ML) models can forecast daily Bitcoin price directions and generate statistically significant alpha in trading strategies. Employing a dual-model approach, we utilize a Random Forest (RF) classifier, leveraging its non-linear strengths and a LASSO-penalized logistic regression as a linear benchmark. Both models are trained on a comprehensive dataset o

We present two new data structures for computing values of an n-variate polynomial P of degree at most d over a finite field of q elements. Assuming that d divides q-1, our first data structure relies on (d+1)n+2 tabulated values of P to produce the value of P at any of the qn points using O(nqd2) arithmetic operations in the finite field. Assuming that s divides d and d/s divides q-1, our second
