This report provides a recommendation for the purchase of a rotary table intendedmainly for 3D body scanning. This recommendation is presented to FabLab,Halmstad University. The proposal is based on the needs and requirements discussed and defined among group members, clients and other stakeholders. The main requirement is that the product can be programmed and controlled by acomputer. This requirement was strengthened through the execution of a pairwise comparison. A broad market research is described and methods that have been used to achieve the results. In order to better understand how much the load will affect the product, a force measurement test was performed and analyzed. Earlier reports about reverse engineering, different applications and scanning techniques provide a deeper understanding of factors that may affect the selection of the product.

Cette thèse examine différents facteurs ayant permis la reconfiguration de la sphère privée/domestique, considérée comme le domaine non-politique de la famille et de l’intime, en objet crucial de débat politique et en lieu d’action politique légitime dans l’après-seconde guerre mondiale (1945-1973).Au cœur du processus, trois phénomènes majeurs : la militarisation de l’espace civil privé, la résurgence de l’idéal du « foyer chrétien » dans un climat moraliste et familialiste et la valorisation du foyer consumériste, « centre de la liberté », où se jouait la défense du système capitaliste dans le conflit idéologique opposant les États-Unis à l’U.R.S.S. Durant cette période, l’articulation privé-public s’est vue renégociée, à la faveur du phénomène de politisation du privé et du surcroît de légitimité accordé aux enjeux associés à ce domaine et, par extension, aux femmes censées en garantir l’intégrité. Trois études de cas, s’appuyant sur de riches sources archivistiques jusqu’ici largement inexploitées, permettent de prendre la pleine mesure de cette renégociation et de rendre compte de l’adoption de nouvelles formes de pratiques politiques à domicile (‘kitchen-table activism’) par un grand nombre de femmes blanches des classes moyennes-supérieures. Ce mode d’activisme, réconciliant vie domestique, sociabilité féminine et engagement militant, fut mis au service tant des organisations féminines progressistes et conservatrices que des ‘Women’s Divisions’ des partis politiques. Dans quelle mesure son expansion reflétait-t-elle la politisation de ses adeptes et la hausse de leur participation politique durant une période de latence du mouvement féministe ? Leur engagement en marge de la sphère institutionnelle s’est-il accompagné d’un accroissement de leur représentation en politique ? Ou la période a-t-elle vu, au contraire, leur avancée dans ce champ retardée en raison de cette mobilisation fondée sur une vision traditionnelle des femmes et des relations de genre ? / This thesis examines various factors that have led to the reconfiguration of the private / domestic sphere, considered as the non-political domain of the family and the intimate, as a crucial subject for political debate and as a legitimate place of political action in the aftermath At the heart of the process were three major phenomena: the militarization of private civil space, the resurgence of the ideal of the "Christian home" in a moralist and familialist climate, and the valorization of the home Consumerism, the "center of freedom", where the defense of the capitalist system was played out in the ideological conflict between the United States and the USSR During this period, the private-public articulation was renegotiated, thanks to the phenomenon of politicization of the private sector and the additional legitimacy granted to the stakes associated with this domain and, by extension, to the women who are supposed to guarantee the integrity . Three case studies, based on rich archival sources that have so far been largely untapped, make it possible to take full account of this renegotiation and to account for the adoption of new forms of policy-making at home ('kitchen-table activism ') By ​​a large number of white women of the middle-upper classes. This mode of activism, reconciling domestic life, feminine sociability and militant commitment, was put to the service of progressive and conservative women's organizations as well as women's divisions of political parties. To what extent did its expansion reflect the politicization of its followers and the rise of their political participation during a latent period of the feminist movement ? Have their involvement in the margins of the institutional sphere been accompanied by an increase in their representation in politics ? Or did the period, on the contrary, see their advance in this delayed field because of this mobilization based on a traditional view of women and gender relations ?

The growing popularity of artificial intelligence and machine learning has led to the adop- tion of the automation vision in the industry by many other institutions and organizations. Many corporations have made it their primary objective to make the delivery of goods and services and manufacturing in a more efficient way with minimal human intervention. Au- tomated document processing and analysis is also a critical component of this cycle for many organizations that contribute to the supply chain. The massive volume and diver- sity of data created in this rapidly evolving environment make this a highly desired step. Despite this diversity, important information in the documents is provided in the tables. As a result, extracting tabular data is a crucial aspect of document processing. This thesis applies deep learning methodologies to detect table structure elements for the extraction of data and preparation for semantic modelling. In order to find optimal structure definition, we analyzed the performance of deep learning models in different formats such as row/column and cell. The combined row and column detection models perform poorly compared to other models’ detection performance due to the highly over- lapping nature of rows and columns. Separate row and column detection models seem to achieve the best average F1-score with 78.5% and 79.1%, respectively. However, de- termining cell elements from the row and column detections for semantic modelling is a complicated task due to spanning rows and columns. Considering these facts, a new method is proposed to set the ground-truth information called a content-focused annota- tion to define table elements better. Our content-focused method is competent in handling ambiguities caused by huge white spaces and lack of boundary lines in table structures; hence, it provides higher accuracy. Prior works have addressed the table analysis problem under table detection and table structure detection tasks. However, the impact of dataset structures on table structure detection has not been investigated. We provide a comparison of table structure detection performance with cropped and uncropped datasets. The cropped set consists of only table images that are cropped from documents assuming tables are detected perfectly. The uncropped set consists of regular document images. Experiments show that deep learning models can improve the detection performance by up to 9% in average precision and average recall on the cropped versions. Furthermore, the impact of cropped images is negligible under the Intersection over Union (IoU) values of 50%-70% when compared to the uncropped versions. However, beyond 70% IoU thresholds, cropped datasets provide significantly higher detection performance.

One of the weapons used on the Visbykorvett is a machine gun (KSP 88). The machine gun need’s regular maintenance and that is usually done on the floor at shooting platform or the weapon is carried down into the ship to a suitable location. This is both unergonomic and impractical, which is why the Swedish Armed Forces have built a prototype of a weapons service table. This prototype does not meet all the requirements, but it was used extensively and it confirmed that a weapon service table is needed. That is why the Swedish Armed Forces, the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration and the company Mildef have created this opportunity for a master thesis. In this project, two research questions have been formulated that’s going to be answered: How can a table be designed to handle heavy loads while still being portable?  How should a table be designed to be transported by one person? To answer these research questions, several concepts were developed and two of these were worked on for a longer period of time. What became clear towards the end of the project was that there was an optimal design for each research question and the requirement to handle high load was given the highest priority when design was chosen. / En av vapnerna som används på Visbykrovetterna är ett maskin gevär (KSP 88). Maskin geväret är i behov av regelbunden service och det görs oftast på durken vid skjutplattformen eller så bärs vapnet ner i skeppet till en lämplig plats. Detta är både oergonomsikt och opraktiskt därför har Försvarsmakten byggt en prototyp på ett vapenvårdsbord. Denna prototyp uppfyller inte alla de krav som ställs på bordet, men det har används flitigt och det har bekräftat att ett vapenvårdsbord behövs. Därför har Försvarsmakten, Försvarets materielverk och företaget Mildef skapat denna möjlighet för ett examensarbete. I detta projekt har det formulerats två stycken forskningsfrågor som ska besvaras:  Hur bör ett bord konstrueras om den ska hantera hög belastning och samtidigt vara portabelt? Hur ska ett bord utformas för att transporteras av en person?  För att besvara dessa forskningsfrågor togs det fram flera koncept och två av dessa arbetades med under längre tid. Det som framgick i mot slutet av projektet var att det fanns en optimal design för vardera forskningsfråga och kravet på att hantera hög belastning fick högst prioritering när designen valdes.

Thesis (MScAgric (Conservation Ecology and Entomology)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / The South African table grape industry exports approximately 60% of the table grapes produced. A major threat to the export of these grapes is the phytosanitary risk that insect pests pose. This study was conducted in the Hex River Valley, South Africa’s main table grape producing area. The aim of this study was to reduce the number of phytosanitary rejections from insects on table grapes from the Hex River Valley. Thus the main objectives of the study were to identify the most important phytosanitary pests in the Hex River Valley; the determination of their presence in the vineyards with possible means to control them; and to assess the possibility of using postharvest quarantine treatments in the Western Cape. Further aims were to determine the effect of different colour harvesting crates on the phytosanitary pests and whether the phytosanitary pests infested the grapes via packhouses. The most important phytosanitary pests of table grapes of the Hex River Valley are in order of importance: Phlyctinus callosus (Schonherr) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Epichoristodes acerbella Walker (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), Planococcus ficus (Signoret) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), Gonocephalum simplex Fabricius (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and Dysdercus fasciatus Signoret (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae). 12.71% of rejections were from species that were not identified, while a further 33% of the rejections were possibly identified incorrectly. Phytosanitary control of P. callosus appeared to be far more effective using Plantex® than pesticides. Weather conditions appeared to affect the abundance of P. callosus, especially warm weather, while bunches harboured less P. callosus later in the day. Control of E. acerbella with DiPel® (Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki) appeared to at least reduce the population within the vineyards, and so its use is recommended. P. ficus is a non-actionable species for the USA market and is not listed as a phytosanitary pest for the Israeli market and so should not be causing any phytosanitary rejections. C. capitata appeared to be successfully controlled by the fruit fly sterile release program and the cold sterilisation it currently undergoes. G. simplex caused few rejections. It is still unclear where this pest infests the grapes, as it was found in both the field and in the packhouses. D. fasciatus occurrence on grapes was probably accidental. It was shown that picking during the early and late parts of the day, when this species was less active, reduced its occurrence in bunches. Gryllus bimaculatus (De Geer) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae), although not reported as a reason for rejections in table grapes for the past two years, was an actionable species that was present in large numbers in the Hex River Valley. There was a strong correlation between increasing quantities of pesticides and higher abundances of G. bimaculatus. It appeared to be an indicator of the overuse of pesticides. Results of this study showed that infestation by the phytosanitary pests came from neighbouring vineyards. The creation of barriers to prevent the movement of these pests between vineyards is suggested. Methyl bromide is the most commonly used postharvest quarantine treatment. Owing to the ozone-depleting properties of methyl bromide, it is scheduled to be outlawed in many countries from 2005. Alternative postharvest treatments are irradiation, extreme temperatures, forced air, vapour-heat treatments and the use of controlled atmospheres. Irradiation treatments appeared to control the pests at doses that do not damage the grapes. Controlled atmosphere treatments also have a high probability of success, although more research is required on this treatment. Low temperature treatments are relatively cheap as most exported fruit already undergoes cold storage, and appears to control species in the families Pseudococcidae and Tephritidae, although further research is required for the other pest. Colour or location of the harvesting crates in the vineyards appeared not to influence the number of phytosanitary pests collected, as they were not attracted to these crates.

The main aim of my thesis is to mediate information about interactive tables in the Czech language teaching at elementary schools and elaboration of the methodical support for teaching. The thesis is divided into the theoretical part, which includes the first three chapters, and the practical part which has two chapters. In the theoretical part the author first introduces readers with interactivity, technical and historical development of the tables and their use in teaching. Second chapter brings knowledge about teaching methods with the use of interactive tables, the requirements on teachers, and the positive and negative advantages of the use of the tables based on the teachers and the students view. The third chapter represents main resources of teaching materials. The practical part is based on the creation of the methodical support for teaching, which provides detailed instructions for working with the SMART Table. The subject of the fourth chapter is working with the SMART table, adjustment of the table and the work with activities. Fifth chapter will introduce the computer program SMART Table Toolkit, his installation, adjustment, adjustment of activities and their use in teaching.

This research work develops real-time incremental learning decision tree solutions suitable for real-time embedded systems by virtue of having both a defined memory requirement and an upper bound on the computation time per training vector. In addition, the work provides embedded systems with the capabilities of rapid processing and training of streamed data problems, and adopts electronic hardware solutions to improve the performance of the developed algorithm. Two novel decision tree approaches, namely the Multi-Dimensional Frequency Table (MDFT) and the Hashed Frequency Table Decision Tree (HFTDT) represent the core of this research work. Both methods successfully incorporate a frequency table technique to produce a complete decision tree. The MDFT and HFTDT learning methods were designed with the ability to generate application specific code for both training and classification purposes according to the requirements of the targeted application. The MDFT allows the memory architecture to be specified statically before learning takes place within a deterministic execution time. The HFTDT method is a development of the MDFT where a reduction in the memory requirements is achieved within a deterministic execution time. The HFTDT achieved low memory usage when compared to existing decision tree methods and hardware acceleration improved the performance by up to 10 times in terms of the execution time.
