This master?s thesis is a remote sensing study of an area-based method used to detect forest in need of thinning by use of laser data and field samples. Only pine-dominated forest has been included in the study and height limits were set to match empirical restrictions. The study area was in the municipality of Älvsbyn (Latitude 65° 40´ N, Longitude 21° 00´ E), in northern Sweden.The Swedish authority Lantmäteriet is currently laser scanning most parts of Sweden, providing new opportunities and applications. The primary aim of the national laser scanning is to create a new elevation model, useful in consequence analysis of climate changes.

Dagens organisationer är alltmera beroende av aktuell och relevant information vid rätttillfälle. Därför är det ytterst viktigt att kunna utbyta information mellan heterogenainformationssystem. Problemet uppstår när data ska tolkas av användare. Olikadefinitioner på begrepp och termer kan leda till misstolkning av data och därefter felaktiginformation. Syftet med studien är att kunna visa de svårigheter som finns för att kunnauppnå den semantiska interoperabiliteten genom att visa illustrerande exempel frånsvenska sjukvården.

In forestry there are always needs of forest data to make good strategic decisions of different actions and economic winning. Usually this data gets from field-estimations made by forest workers with expensive costs and sometimes unsatisfied quality. StoraEnso Skog is a great forest company in Sweden and they have part of the responsibility of the forest own by Bergvik Skog. Bergvik Skog is owner of 1, 9 million hectares productive forest land. Both Bergvik and StoraEnso have great interest in new inventory techniques to get the important forest data. The company Foran Remote Sensing offers the opportunity with airborne laserscanning of forest and forest land. Foran got the mission of Bergvik and StoraEnso to laser scan Bergviks possession in Älvdalen, Dalarna.

Den här rapporten innehåller information om hur man skapar en länk mellan en dator och ett minne via en dators serieport. Ett RS232-protokoll används för att upprätthålla den här länken. För att ta hand om minnet samt upprätthålla kommunikationen med datorn har en FPGA programmerats. Intel hex8 formatet används för datan. Ett program för Windows 98 skapades också.

In 2009 The National Land Survey of Sweden, Lantmäteriet, commenced a project intended to provide a new digital elevation model (DEM) of Sweden. The method chosen for the project was airborne laser scanning (ALS). In addition to information about the land surface the project will also provide information about the forest, this as a by-product. This data can be used to estimate forest variables such as height and volume. The estimates are often more reliable than what is standard today. This study is based on interviews with employees and members of the forest owner association Södra in southern Sweden.

L?grangmatriskomplettering innefattar algoritmer som fyller ut saknade v?rden i en matris under antagandet att den kompletta matrisen ?r av l?g rang. Rapporten har unders?kt tv? olika algoritmer f?r l?ngrangmatriskomplettering, singular value thresholding (SVT) och nor malized iterative hard thresholding (NIHT), p? slumpm?ssigt genererad data och ett urval av databasen Netflix prize data. Rapportens syfte ?r att best?mma vilken av dessa tv? algoritmer som l?mpar sig b?ttre f?r komplettering av Netflix-datan och slumpm?ssigt genererad data. F?r att m?ta detta unders?ktes hur n?ra algoritmerna konvergerar till de kompletta matriser na i termer av bland annat RMSE samt hur l?ng tid det tar f?r de olika algoritmerna att k?ra givet olika parameterval.

Internal communication is an important factor in organisations today. For many system development teams it?s critical that the communication works well. Without communication, success would be impossible. This study aims to highlight the effect communication has on the members of agile project teams.

Syfte: Undersökningen syftar till att genom observationer av grupper i Facebook beskriva hurföretag i nuläget ska använder sig av denna kommunikationsmöjlighet. Med stöd av teorieroch datamaterial, leder mönster i kommunikationen fram till förslag hur företag kan förbättrasin kommunikation och genom detta nå fram till bättre resultat.Teoretisk referensram: De teorier som ansetts relevanta för undersökningen är kundlojalitet,CRM och CIM.Metod: Insamling av primärdata sker genom observation av sex företags grupper påFacebook. En urvalsdiskussion har lett till valet att undersöka tre större företag och tremindre. För att lättare hantera kvantitativa data används ett verktyg för att bedöma gruppernasaktivitetsnivå. För att strukturera hanteringen av kvalitativ data, har materialet delats in i olikakategorier.

The idea for the project emerged when Nilorn wanted to get better control over their supplychain and improve operational efficiency. The company also want to reduce their expenses inthe continuous process of improving profitability. By choosing the right option oftransportation and mode of transport there are large potential savings for the company. Thisenables Nilorn to reduce the transportation costs and strengthen the environmentalresponsibilities by reducing their environmental impact.The flow of goods within Nilorn has over the past years increased significantly and most ofthe gods today is transported by air. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the supply chain of thecompany and evaluate the potential economic savings in this area.

Uppsatsen bygger på en analys av en exit-nod i Tor-nätverket i syfte att efterlikna ett tidigare experiment från 2007. Experimentet går ut på att analysera den information som kommer genom nätverket för att leta efter okrypterade lösenord. Experimentet görs i syfte att påvisa de brister som finns i nätverket och i användarnas säkerhetsmedvetande. Arbetet utgår från frågeställningarna:Går det att utvinna känslig information från en exit-nod i Tor-nätverket.-       Går det att utvinna okrypterade lösenord från en exit-nod i nätverket?-       Vilka typer av tjänster tillhör lösenorden som uppkommer i analysen av den insamlade data?För att kunna besvara mina tre frågeställningar har jag valt att göra ett experimentellt arbete för att ta reda på om användarna skickar okrypterade lösenord, och till vilka tjänster lösenorden tillhör.
