Brunifiering av Öjaren : Analys och framtida utsikter

Bergman, Anders, Lindgren, Samuel January 2017 (has links)
Sjön Öjaren i Sandviken är den största dricksvattentäkten i kommunen, färgen på Öjarens vatten har med åren ändrats och blivit allt mörkare. Detta bekräftas vid analys av vattenprover mellan år 1995-2015 som utförts i denna studie. Denna förändring av vattenfärg är inte unik för Öjaren utan har påvisats i flera andra sjöar och vattendrag. Orsakerna till förändrad vattenfärg skiljer sig till viss del beroende på vilken vattenförekomst som undersöks, olika egenskaper som klimat, markbeskaffenhet samt föroreningar bidrar i varierad utsträckning till brunifiering. Gemensamt för Öjaren och andra vattenförekomster är att ökad tillförsel av löst organiskt kol och järn är orsaker till brunifiering. För Öjaren har även ökade manganhalter visat sig påverka brunifieringen. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka ett eventuellt samband mellan färgen på vattnet i Öjaren och de faktorer som anses påverka färgen. De faktorer som analyseras och enligt tidigare studier anses vara relevanta är järn, pH, COD, mangan, temperatur och nederbörd. Syftet är även att undersöka möjliga åtgärder för att motverka brunifiering. Vattenprover från Öjaren mellan åren 1995-2015 har legat till grund för den statistiska analys som utförts. För att finna eventuella samband har Pearson´s korrelationskoefficient beräknats i programmet Minitab 17. För att ytterligare beskriva det eventuella sambandet mellan faktorerna har en principal component analysis (PCA) utförts. Trender och prognoser har även de tagits fram genom Minitab. Korrelationsanalyserna har visat på mest signifikant samband mellan färgtal och faktorerna järn, COD och mangan. Resultaten av korrelationsanalysen förstärks av PCA:n där det uppvisas att färgtal, järn och COD till störst del samvarierar. Trenden och den framtida prognosen för samtliga undersökta faktorer visar på stigande värden. Detta innebär att dricksvattenberedningen blir mer komplicerad och kostsam samt att dricksvattenkvalitén riskerar att försämras. Denna utveckling är något som förväntas beröra flera ytvattentäkter i bl.a. Europa och Nordamerika. Färgtalet i Öjaren förväntas stiga med 63 % fram till år 2050 vilket innebär att åtgärder för att motverka brunifieringen i Öjaren och andra liknande ytvattenförekomster är nödvändiga för att de ska kunna användas som dricksvattentäkter i framtiden. / The colouring of water in many lakes across the Northern hemisphere is increasing. This is also the case in Lake Öjaren in Sandviken municipality in Sweden. The lake is the main water source in Sandviken and has a high and increasing watercolour. This leads to more complex cleaning methods and higher costs for the society. This study focuses on the changing and increasing watercolour in the lake over a period from 1995-2015. The factors analysed in this study are those who is considered to have an effect on the watercolour in the lake. The reasons for increased brownification are different depending on which type of water body is studied. Climate, soil conditions and pollutants contributes in varying extent to brownification. Increased levels in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and iron are common reasons for brownification in Lake Öjaren and other water bodies, in Lake Öjaren increased levels of manganese are also shown to affect brownification. The aim of the study is to evaluate the correlation between the watercolour and the factors: iron, pH, COD, manganese, temperature and precipitation. The aim is also to investigate which actions are possible to apply to prevent increased watercolour. Water samples from Lake Öjaren between the years 1995-2015 have been the basis for the executed statistical analysis. Evaluating the correlation between the factors we have used Minitab 17 and calculated Pearson´s correlation coefficient. To further explain the relationship between the factors a principal component analysis (PCA) has been performed. Future scenarios and current trends have also been produced, in order to develop a better foundation for further studies. The correlation analysis reveals that the most significant connection with watercolour are iron, COD and manganese. The result of the PCA also corroborates this connection where three factors are the ones that are most co-variating. The trend and the future scenario for all the factors in Lake Öjaren are that they all are increasing and the watercolour is expected to be increasing by 63 % until year 2050. This scenario means that actions are needed to counteract the increasing colouring of the water.

Klimeš, Martin January 2009 (has links)
The thesis "Methods to Assess IS/ICT Outsourcing Models" focuses mainly on an assessment and selection process of suitable IS/ICT outsourcing models. First, IS/ICT outsourcing concept is explained and its advantages as well as disadvantages are described. Second, IS/ICT outsourcing models (primarily classified by outsourcing subject) and their characteristics are described. Third, existing methods to assess and subsequently select suitable IS/ICT outsourcing models are analysed. Main goal of the thesis is to confront the existing methods with a process used in real-life IS/ICT outsourcing project and then to give recommendations for methods improvement. To achieve that goal the existing methods are compared with a process used in the real-life outsourcing project. Based on positively perceived parts of the existing methods as well as on flaws identified, an own method to assess and select IS/ICT outsourcing models is designed. The following methods are used when writing the thesis: logical/historical method, description, analysis and synthesis. Main contribution of the thesis to the topic is a design of the own method aiming at improvements to the existing methods so that it is as usable as possible in practice. This is achieved through a design of tools supporting crucial steps of the designed method. The fact that the author is member of a project team working on the real-life IS/ICT outsourcing project facilitates a contribution achievement too.

Vztah elektrofyziologické aktivity a dynamické funkční konektivity rozsáhlých mozkových sítí ve fMRI datech / Relationship between Electrophysiological Activity and Dynamic Functional Connectivity of Large-scale Brain Networks in fMRI Data

Lamoš, Martin January 2018 (has links)
Functional brain connectivity is a marker of the brain state. Growing interest in the examination of large-scale brain network functional connectivity dynamics is accompanied by an effort to find the electrophysiological correlates. The commonly used constraints applied to spatial and spectral domains during EEG data analysis may leave part of the neural activity unrecognized. A proposed approach blindly reveals multimodal EEG spectral patterns that are related to the dynamics of the BOLD functional network connectivity. The blind decomposition of EEG spectrogram by Parallel Factor Analysis has been shown to be a useful technique for uncovering patterns of neural activity where each pattern contains three signatures (spatial, temporal, and spectral). The decomposition takes into account the trilinear structure of EEG data, as compared to the standard approaches of electrode averaging, electrode subset selection or using standard frequency bands. The simultaneously acquired BOLD fMRI data were decomposed by Independent Component Analysis. Dynamic functional connectivity was computed on the component’s time series using a sliding window correlation, and functional connectivity network states were then defined based on the values of the correlation coefficients. ANOVA tests were performed to assess the relationships between the dynamics of functional connectivity network states and the fluctuations of EEG spectral patterns. Three patterns related to the dynamics of functional connectivity network states were found. Previous findings revealed a relationship between EEG spectral pattern fluctuations and the hemodynamics of large-scale brain networks. This work suggests that the relationship also exists at the level of functional connectivity dynamics among large-scale brain networks when no standard spatial and spectral constraints are applied on the EEG data.

Energy Harvesting Power Supply for MEMS Applications / Energy Harvesting Power Supply for MEMS Applications

Smilek, Jan January 2018 (has links)
Tato práce se zabývá vývojem nezávislého elektrického zdroje pro moderní nízkopříkonové elektrické aplikace. Protože tradiční řešení napájení drobných spotřebičů s využitím baterií či akumulátorů snižuje uživatelský komfort kvůli potřebě pravidelné údržby, navrhovaný zdroj využívá principu energy harvesting. Tento princip spočívá v získávání energie přímo z okolního prostředí napájené aplikace a její přeměně na energii elektrickou, která je dále využita pro na-pájení moderních MEMS (mikroelektromechanických) zařízení. Potenciální aplikací vyvíjeného zdroje je především moderní nositelná elektronika a biomedicínské senzory. Tato oblast využití ovšem klade zvýšené nároky na parametry generátoru, který musí zajistit dostatečný generovaný výkon z energie, dostupné v okolí lidského těla, a to při zachování prakticky využitelné velikosti a hmotnosti. Po stanovení předběžných požadavků a provedení analýz vhodnosti dostupných zdrojů energie ke konverzi byla k využití vybrána kinetická energie lidských aktivit. Byla provedena série měření zrychlení na lidském těle, především v místě předpokládaného umístění generátoru, aby bylo možno analyzovat a generalizovat hodnoty energie dostupné ke konverzi v daném umístění. V návaznosti na tato měření a analýzy byl vyvinut inovativní kinetický energy harvester, který byl následně vyroben jako funkční vzorek. Tento vzorek byl pak testován v reálných podmínkách pro verifikaci simulačního modelu a vyhodnocení reálné použitelnosti takového zařízení. Kromě samotného vývoje generátoru je v práci popsán i originální způsob zvýšení generovaného výkonu pro kinetické energy harvestery a jsou prezentována statistická data a modely pro predikci využitelnosti kinetických harvesterů pro získávání energie z lidské aktivity.

Porovnání úspěšnosti vícekanálových metod separace řečových signálů / Comparison of success rate of multi-channel methods of speech signal separation

Přikryl, Petr January 2008 (has links)
The separation of independent sources from mixed observed data is a fundamental problem in many practical situations. A typical example is speech recordings made in an acoustic environment in the presence of background noise or other speakers. Problems of signal separation are explored by a group of methods called Blind Source Separation. Blind Source Separation (BSS) consists on estimating a set of N unknown sources from P observations resulting from the mixture of these sources and unknown background. Some existing solutions for instantaneous mixtures are reviewed and in Matlab implemented , i.e Independent Componnent Analysis (ICA) and Time-Frequency Analysis (TF). The acoustic signals recorded in real environment are not instantaneous, but convolutive mixtures. In this case, an ICA algorithm for separation of convolutive mixtures in frequency domain is introduced and in Matlab implemented. This diploma thesis examines the useability and comparisn of proposed separation algorithms.

Pokročilé zpracování oftalmologických video sekvencí retinálních obrazů / Advanced processing of ophthalmologic videosequences of retinal images

Říha, Pavel January 2015 (has links)
The diploma thesis deals with registration and analysis of images from the experimental low-cost fundus camera that reaches a low SNR (around 10 dB) and low temporal and spatial resolution. The aim of the diploma tesis is to explore the possibilities of digital processing leading to the creation of a videosequence that has real benefits for medical diagnostics. The well-known program elastix is used for registration. Preprocessing filters and interpolation are implemented in Matlab. The program provides a wide range of setting options, out of which many combinations were tested and evaluated. To assess the accuracy achieved, spatial variations in the detected motion of blood-vessels are evaluated. Best results with a precision below 0.3 px were achieved by using a band-pass filter, a~suitably sized mask, rigid registration and a metric of the mutual information. Test sequences were registered precisely enough both for visual assessment and basic computational analysis. Registered sequences and the developed application that both can be used in the further development of the experimental camera are the main contributions of the diploma thesis.

Analýza spánkového EEG / Human Sleep EEG Analysis

Sadovský, Petr January 2007 (has links)
This thesis deals with analysis and processing of the Sleep Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The scope of this thesis can be split into several areas. The first area is application of the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) method for EEG signal analysis. A model of EEG signal formation is proposed and conditions under which this model is valid are examined. It is shown that ICA can be used to remove non-deterministic artifacts contained in the EEG signals. The second area of interest is analysis of stationarity of the Sleep EEG signal. Methods to identify stationary signal segments and to analyze statistical properties of these stationary segments are presented. The third area of interest focuses on spectral analysis of the Sleep EEG signals. Analyses are performed that shows the processes that form particular parts of EEG signals spectrum. Also, random signals that are an integral part of the EEG signals analysis are performed. The last area of interest focuses on elimination of the transition processes that are caused by the filtering of the short EEG signal segments.
