The goal of this master thesis was to examine some of the available development tools for augmented reality in mobile applications. The best development tool were then used in development of an application for Android or iOS. The thesis has two main parts, the analysis of development tools and the application development. During the analysis ve dierent commercial development tools for augmented re
På grund av den ökande förekomsten av fetma och fetmarelaterade sjukdomar, såsom diabetes och förfettning av levern, har intresset för olika diagnostiseringsmetoder av dessa sjukdomar också ökat de senaste åren. Då man dessutom har upptäckt att det finns en relation mellan sjukdom och fettsammansättningen (mättat, enkelomättat och fleromättat fett) i exempelvis levern, har intresset för att kunna The increasing prevalence of obesity and obesity related diseases in this modern world has resulted in a lot of research in the area of water-fat separation with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Since the introduction of the two-point Dixon technique, this area of research has expanded and relationships have been discovered between fat content and fatty acid (FA) composition, and diseases such as
The main purpose of this study is to map out collaborative crime prevention measures performed by Landskrona’s municipal and police authorities to reduce the incidence of non-domestic violence. These measures have been compared with the findings of previous reports and similar studies on the prevention of violent crime and public violence. While the study was performed from a sociology of law per
There is no doubt that the construction industry needs to streamline its processes. There are four different ways to streamline the processes; Building Information Modelling (BIM), Lean Construction, industrialized building and partnering. In this examination paper we have investigated the possibility to streamline a specified company’s processes whit lean and BIM. More specific we have investigat
The integration of immigrants affects social stability in host countries, which becomes a potential and heat issue discussed by all walks of life. How well the immigrants integrate into the society largely relates to their economic status in host countries. This paper aims to study the relationship among ethnicity, ethnic identity and the outcomes of immigrants in labour market in thirteen selecte
This master thesis has been carried out as a part of the research project TESSPA, with commission from the department of Industrial Production at Lund University. The purpose is to further develop and verify a method o calculate the process cost at smaller companies with discrete part manufacturing and to identify improvement- and development potential. The work has been carried out in cooperation
Currently sedimentation is one of the major issues to deal with, for professionals, as it causes continuous loss of storage and hinder the intended purposes of a dam. More research and case-specific studies are required to understand the behavior of sediment transport mechanism in order to propose remedial measures. Sakuma dam on Tenryu River in Japan is one of the largest dams in Japan and it is
In Sweden freedom of Speech is declared as a fundamental civil and serves as a prerequisite to the freedom of opinion within its constitutions, and is also enhanced by Sweden’s implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights. Sweden’s constitutional system also protects and regulates freedom of speech further through a divided and delegated system. However, as a result of difficult econo
In the name of transparency and accountability, numbers and statistics have gained importance as indicators of quality, effectiveness and efficiency of welfare services such as social work. It has been argued that the requirements to formalise how and on what grounds decisions are made have undermined the professional autonomy and discretion of social workers. These requests have arguably also led
We report here on a peptide hydrogel system, which in contrast to most other such systems, is made up of relatively short fibrillar aggregates, discussing resemblance with colloidal rods. The synthetic model peptides A8K and A10K, where A denotes alanine and K lysine, self-assemble in aqueous solutions into ribbon-like aggregates having an average length 〈L〉 on the order of 100 nm and with a diame
Particulate matter emission factors from vehicle brakes are difficult to assess directly from the field. Moreover, there is a lack of a standardized cycle and test stand for evaluating brake emissions. For these reasons, a test cycle was developed from real driving data collected from a car. This new test cycle was implemented on an inertia disc brake dynamometer appositely designed for brake part
Ethics, Science and Society: Challenges for BioPolitics is an international project of academic research, scientific dissemination, and social and political responsibility, sponsored by the Luso-American Development Foundation. Its main objective is to stress the importance of this triptych-style approach – ethics, science, society – to address some of the current and major challenges facing huma
There is a scarcity of information on mineral and phytate content in plant-based foods in Bolivia. This study aimed to analyze iron, zinc, calcium, and phytate content and estimate the mineral bioavailability of foods consumed in Chapare, Bolivia. Minerals and phytate were analyzed, and bioavailability was estimated in 17 food samples. Leafy vegetables and green legumes had the highest mineral con
Background: Medical advancements have resulted in better survival and life expectancy among those with spina bifida, but a significantly increased risk of perinatal and postnatal mortality for individuals with spina bifida remains. Objectives: To examine stillbirth and infant and child mortality among those affected by spina bifida using data from multiple countries. Methods: We conducted an obser
Massive multiple-input multiple-out (MIMO) is vital in millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands to obtain large array gains. However, there are practical challenges, such as high hardware cost and power consumption in such systems. A promising solution to these problems is to adopt a hybrid beamforming architecture. This architecture has a much lower number of transceiver (TRx) chains than the total antenna
We study cdcl-cuttingplanes, Open-WBO, and Sat4j, three successful solvers from the Pseudo-Boolean Competition 2016, and evaluate them by performing experiments on crafted benchmarks designed to be trivial for the cutting planes (CP) proof system underlying pseudo-Boolean (PB) proof search but yet potentially tricky for PB solvers. Our experiments demonstrate severe shortcomings in state-of-the-ar
Experimental research was conducted to reveal the effects of nanofluids on heat transfer performance in a double-tube heat exchanger. With nanoparticle weight fraction of 0.5-2.0% and Reynolds number of 4500-14500, the flow resistance and heat transfer were analyzed by using six nanofluids, i.e., CuO-water, Al2O3-water, Fe3O4-water, ZnO-water, SiC-water, SiO2-water nanofluids. Results show that Si
The purpose of the study was to assess both anatomic and functional outcomes between short-pulse continuous wavelength and infrared micropulse lasers in the treatment of DME. This was a prospective interventional study from tertiary care eye hospital—King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia). Patients with center-involving diabetic macular edema were treated with subthreshold lase
