This thesis concerns the recently developed control method known as L_1 Adaptive Control, and recognizes its potential in the field of aircraft control. It starts by outlining the essential theory required to complete ...

Geophysical granular flows exert basal forces that generate seismic signals, which can be used to better monitor and model these severe natural hazards. A number of empirical relations and existing models link these signals' ...

Many of the patterns that can be observed in nature or in experiments are the result of surface instabilities. These structures typically arise when an interface is forced to move due to fluxes of heat and/or mass or because ...

We present a laser-ionized, beam-driven, passive thin plasma lens that operates in the nonlinear blowout regime. This thin plasma lens provides axisymmetric focusing for relativistic electron beams at strengths unobtainable ...

In this thesis, we introduce the application of convolutional autoencoder neural networks to the analysis of two-dimensional projections of particle tracks from a resonant proton scattering experiment on 46Ar. We also build ...

Low lattice thermal conductivity is essential for high thermoelectric performance of a material. Lattice thermal conductivity is often computed using density functional theory (DFT), typically at a high computational cost. ...

I denne oppgaven har det blitt utviklet en metode for lavdoseratebestråling av celler i kultur, og det har blitt utført innledende eksperimenter for å kartlegge effektene av denne bestrålingen på humane celler. Cellene som ...

Microsoft's Kinect is a well researched and established optical 3D sensor in a wide range of HCI\footnote{Human - Computer Interface} applications. However, to fully utilize modern HCI environments , the requirement for ...
