This thesis explores the possibilities of avoiding the issues generally associated with compression of noisy imagery, through the usage of vector quantization. By utilizing the learning aspects of vector quantization, image processing operations such as noise reduction could be implemented in a straightforward way. Several techniques are presented and evaluated. A direct comparison shows that for noisy imagery, vector quantization, in spite of it's simplicity, has clear advantages over MPEG-4 encoding..

This report will discuss principle, primary and finally manufacturing structure. We were asked to produce a 3D milling to processing the prototype material that is used on the University of Halmstad. From conceptual drawings to produce components for this project have we together with a number of company take developed the right components for this project. We have calculated and analyzed the construction to get the best result for it purpose. Unfortunately have the process to produce the 3D milling has been stopped because of deficient budget and time.

The purpose of this thesis was to examine if there where fallacies in the design solutions for the business system IFS Applications from a user perspective, and if so, correct these from a cognitive science approach.Data collection consisted of three main portions. These where; workshop, individual interviews and observations. The collected data was analyzed and resulted in identification of two main areas in the application that where found lacking.The result of the study showed that the usability for processing large amounts of data and the lack of customization where the main flaws in the application. Two low fidelity prototypes where created with the purpose of rectifying the underlying flawed design solutions that where identified from the collected data..

Den här uppsatsen ska främst ses om en fältbeskrivning av en del av den svenska modebloggosfären som de senaste åren har etablerat sig som en ny aktör i rapporteringen kring mode. Vad betyder detta för modejournalistiken och kan man se modebloggandet som en ny karriärväg in till modejournalistiken? Med hjälp av Pierre Bourdieu och Erving Goffman teorier om kapital och personliga fasader vill jag påvisa hur modejournalistiken och modebloggandet skiljer sig ifrån- och liknar varandra samt hur förflyttningarna inom modebloggosfären ter sig..

Denna kandidatrapport redogör för arbetet med att utveckla en webbplats, med avsaknad avtidigare erfarenheter inom området. Arbetet var kopplat till en riktig kund med tanke att användaresultatet för försäljning av modeaccessoarer i verkligheten.I dokumentet beskrivs även de metoder som använts, och vilka resultat som dessa har lett till.Det innefattar också vilka erfarenheter som har förvärvats under projektets gång, och hur dessa kan utnyttjas i senare projekt..

My master?s thesis is a study of acquisition of photographies during 1958-2008. The questions I proceed from is what patterns lies behind the Royal library's acquisition of photography and how the process of acquisition looks like. The theoretical base which I lean on consists partly of a problematization of the process of cultural heritage and partly of organizational theory. The problematization of the process of cultural heritage is my foundation of this essay.

Hemp is an ancient cultivated plant that came to Sweden in the 1st to 2nd Century and was particularly interesting for use for food, clothing and building materials. Over time, other applications have been developed for hemp, e.g. in energy and health products. Interesting new uses for hemp continue to be identified and this fascinating plant has incredibly versatile applications.In this project, seed production of industrial hemp in Sweden was studied and evaluated. Five different methods are described, four of which are proven under Swedish conditions.

Denna uppsats behandlar åtta olika tidningsomslag som har varit omtalade i media under de senaste trettio åren. Dessa omslag kommer från de kända mode- och livsstilsmagasinen Vogue, Vogue Italia, och GQ. Omslagen analyseras utifrån ett feministiskt bildperspektiv, med semiotisk och ikonografisk bildanalys som analysmetoder för att svara på vår huvudfrågeställning; vad gestaltar omslagen utifrån ett feministiskt perspektiv, då man andvänder semiotik och ikonografi som analysmetoder? Som en vidareutveckling av till den feministiska analysen har vi även studerat vad som sagts om omslagen i olika medier. .

This case study is performed within the production of Sherwin-Williams, Bellö. The purpose is to increase the understanding how a value stream can function more efficient, from a lead time perspective. With the analytical model that is build up on known theories, the purpose have been fulfilled. Mapping of value and non value time for four products thru their respectively process reveals wastes, which is, waiting, transport and movement, incorrect processing and set-up time that in it self create transport and movement. Thru identified wastes that causes loss in lead time suggestions of improvement has been proposed.

Vårt ämnesval är företag som marknadsför sig via personliga bloggar. Vi som har utfört denna studie läser bloggar dagligen och har ofta reagerat på hur vanligt det är med företag som använder personliga bloggar som marknadsföringskanal. Studiens Huvudsyftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur konsumenten ser på bloggar som marknadsföringskanal. Vi har även undersökt två delsyften: Hur konsumentens syn på företagets varumärke påverkas när företaget väljer att marknadsföra sig på personliga mode- och skönhetsbloggar, samt hur konsumentens beteende påverkas rörande faktiska köp..

I dagens samhälle ställs det stora krav på säker utrymning av en byggnad eller anläggning. Enligt Boverkets byggregler, BBR, som är en svensk regelsamling för byggande ska det säkerhetsställas tillfredsställande utrymning vid brand när byggnader eller anläggningar utformas. En viktig och avgörande faktor för att utrymning sker på ett tillfredsställande sätt är utrymningstiden. En väsentlig arbetsuppgift brandingenjörer har är dimensioneringen av byggnadernas eller anläggningarnas brandskydd och säkerställa att förhållandena vad avser en tillfredsställande utrymning eftersträvas. När det kommer till utrymning finns en rad olika beräkningsmodeller att tillgå i form av handberäkningar och datorprogram.

This paper is a study and comparison between the two Wireless LAN (WLAN) standards HiperLAN/2 and IEEE 802.11a. WLANs are used instead or together with ordinary LANs to increase mobility in for example an office. HiperLAN/2 is an European standard developed by ETSI and the IEEEs standard is American. A WLAN-card consists roughly of a Medium Access Control (MAC), Physichal layer (PHY) and an antenna. The antenna is the same for the different standards.
