Abstract:

Abstract The ambition to increase the production of paper has made paper machine runnability widely studied in recent decades. Paper machine runnability is often measured by the number of web breaks in comparison with paper machine speed. When runnability is good, a machine can be run at the desired speed with the least possible number of breaks. Web break sensitivity means the number of breaks in a day, which can also be understood as a measurement of paper machine runnability. This study presents an application for the evaluation of web break sensitivity in a paper machine. A web break sens

Abstract:

Model based control schemes, such as nonlinear model predictive control, assume that the full state vector of the plant is known for feedback control. However, in reality this is not always true. Most times only a set of noisy measurements are available, and thus, the unmeasured states need to be inferred from these measurements. This is done in combination with a detailed model of the system. The most common nonlinear state estimation methods do not have a means to deal with bounds or constraints on the states in an efficient or systematical way. These bounds and constraints are important in

Abstract:

Estimating parameters is the problem of finding their values from measurements and modelling. Parameters describe properties of a system; material, for instance, are defined by mechanical, electrical, and chemical parameters. Fisher information is an information measure, giving information about how changes in the parameter effect the estimation. The Fisher information includes the physical model of the problem and the statistical model of noise. The Cramér-Rao bound is the inverse of the Fisher information and gives the best possible variance for any unbiased estimator. This thesis considers

Look ahead cruise control is a relatively new concept. It deals with the possibility of making use of recorded road slope data in combination with GPS, inorder to improve vehicle cruise control.

A ﬁlter using GPS and standard vehicle sensors is used for estimation ofroad slope. The ﬁlter is robust to losses in data since redundant information isavailable.

In this work we develop and analyze algorithms motivated by the parameter estimation problem corresponding to a multilayer aquifer/interbed groundwater flow model.

In addition to the parameter estimation problem, we consider properties of the parameter to solution map. This includes invertibility (known as identifiability) and differentiability properties of the map. For differentiability, we expand existing res

The quest for improved efficiency in magnetic resonance imaging has motivated the development of strategies like parallel imaging where arrays of multiple receiver coils are operated simultaneously in parallel.

These sensitivity maps can then be used to perform an intensity inhomogeneity correction of the images.

Blood perfusion is the local, non-directional blood flow through tissue. It is measured as the volumetric flow rate of blood through a given volume of tissue. One method that has been developed for measuring blood perfusion is a probe that measures the temperature response of the tissue when a thermal event is applied. From the temperature response, the blood perfusion and contact resistance can be estimated by comparing the experimental response to a predicted response, and employing Gaussian minimization techniques to estimate the blood perfusion and contact resistance.

Abstract:

The Malliavin-Thalmaier formula was introduced for simulation of high dimensional probability density functions. But when this integration by parts formula is applied directly in computer simulations, we show that it is unstable. We propose an approximation to the Malliavin-Thalmaier formula. In this paper, we find the order of the bias and the variance of the approximation error. And we obtain an explicit Malliavin-Thalmaier formula for the calculation of Greeks in finance. The weights obtained are free from the curse of dimensionality.

Abstract:

Il existe aujourd'hui un enjeu sociétal majeur à étudier l’émission et la propagation du bruit émis par les éoliennes, et notamment de quantifier l'incertitude sur l'estimation des niveaux sonores. En effet, bien que ces niveaux sonores soient relativement faibles en regard de ceux générés par d’autres sources acoustiques de l’environnement (e.g. les transports terrestres), les nuisances sonores d’origine éolienne sont souvent mises en avant comme gêne potentielle. Ainsi, ces travaux de thèse visent à quantifier la dépendance spatiale et fréquentielle des incertitudes rencontrées en acoustique

Abstract:

<p>This masters thesis concerns a modeling project performed at Volvo Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. The main purpose of the project has been to develop a physical model of the climate in construction vehicles that later on can be used in the development of an electronic climate controller. The focus of the work has been on one type of wheel loader and one type of excavator. The temperature inside the compartment has been set equal to the notion climate. </p><p>With physical theories about air flow and heat transfer in respect, relations between the components in the climate unit and the co

Abstract:

Since the deregulation of power systems was started in 1989 in the UK, many countries have been motivated to undergo deregulation. The United State started deregulation in the energy sector in California back in 1996. Since that time many other states have also started the deregulation procedures in different utilities. Most of the deregulation market in the United States now is in the wholesale market area, however, the retail market is still undergoing changes. Deregulation has many impacts on power system network operation and control. The number of power transactions among the utilities
