Abstract:

Matrices are widely used in Block Cipher Diffusion layers, usually chosen for offering maximal branch numbers, and allowing lightweight hardware implementations through their low XOR Count. When implemented in software however, is XOR Count the only metric? This project will utilize the parallelism provided by modern SIMD vector instructions to evaluate metrics, by implementing different algorithmic approaches. Timing their executions will hopefully provide some insight into the effect of the immense complexity of modern architectures and software tools on the expected outcome of an algorithm.

Abstract:

The object of this work is to exploit various constructions of string theory and M-theory to yield new insights into supersymmetric theories in both four and three dimensions. In 4d, we extend work on Seiberg-Witten theory to study and compute BPS spectra of the class of complete N = 2 theories. The approach we take is based on the program of geometric engineering, in which 4d theories are constructed from compactifications of type IIB strings on Calabi-Yau manifolds. In this setup, the natural candidates for BPS states are D3 branes wrapped on supersymmetric 3-cycles in the Calabi-Yau. Our st

Abstract:

Hydrocarbons are the most common form of energy used to date. The activities involving exploration and exploitation of large oil and gas fields are constantly in operation and have extended to such hostile environments as the North Sea. This enforces much greater demands on the materials which are used, and the need for enhancing the endurance of the existing ones which must continue parallel to the explorations. Due to their ease in fabrication, relatively high mechanical properties and low costs, steels are the most widely favoured material for the construction of offshore platforms. The mos

Abstract:

This licentiate thesis deals with the topic of variations and uncertainties in building acoustic parameters for lightweight timber constructions. A higher safety margin to the legal requirements is needed to compensate for acoustical uncertainties, which leads to higher costs. Building costs can be reduced if the variations can be identified and controlled. The project was limited to industrially prefabricated timber frame based volumes and massive timber based plate elements. This thesis is based on the work reported in three papers (A, B and C).

Today 5G and other wireless standards are being developed for the future of our society. The different use-cases of future wireless services are going to be ever-more demanding, whether it is vehicular communication or low-powered sensor networks. High-rate, ultra-reliable and low-power are future requirements that will also affect the coding schemes being used. A relatively recent coding scheme, called polar codes, has the potential to fulfill all of these requirements if the coding scheme applied is well-designed.

Abstract:

Befolkningsökningen och klimatförändringarna är två mycket aktuella frågor i dagens stads- och samhällsplanering. Jordens yta utgörs av cirka 71 % vatten, vilket idag är områden som i mycket låg utsträckning utnyttjas för bebyggelseändamål. I dagsläget existerar bebyggelse som helt och hållet flyter på vatten, men den förekommer i mycket låg omfattning. Frågan är huruvida viktiga planeringsfrågor skulle kunna lösas genom att utnyttja vattenområden och utvidga den flytande bebyggelsen. Syftet var att med hjälp av nationella och internationella exempel presentera begreppet flytande städer samt

Abstract:

Le comportement des matériaux granulaires est énéralement difficile à décrire par des approches tatistiques ou de mécanique des milieux continus. D'une part, il est difficile de trouver un volume élémentaire représentatif compte tenu des tailles des grains, d'autre part, les trajectoires des grains qui le constituent sont corrélées à cause de l'écoulement dense. Dans la première partie, nous nous penchons sur la description du modèle d'éléments discrets adopté dans cette étude. Nous nous intéressons également à l'effet des paramètres de simulation sur la qualité des échantillons et leurs répon

Abstract:

Šio magistrinio darbo paskirtis yra siauros specializacijos modulių Lietuvos universitetuose mokymo kokybės gerinimas, panaudojant kompiuterines technologijas. Pagrindinis darbo tikslas – sukurti mokomąją priemonę gelžbetoninių elementų įtempių ir deformacijų skaičiavimui pagal iš anksto užsiduotą elemento, aplinkos, apkrovų rinkinį trumpalaikiam bei ilgalaikiam apkrovos veikimui, taip pat diaugiavariantiniam skaičiavimui, esant įvairiems pradinių duomenų rinkiniams. Tai pagerintų dėstomos medžiagos įsisavinimą. Atlikus reikalavimų specifikavimą, nustatyti pagrindiniai funkciniai ir nefunkcini
