(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-03-31)Vest-Troms Grunnfjellkompleks er marginen og kontinuasjonen av det Fennoskandiske Skjold under de Kaledonske skyvedekkene. WTBC har utviklet seg gjennom flere fjellkjededannelser, dannelse av riftbassenger, høy- til lav-metamorf omvandling og flere episoder med bimodal magmatisme. Dette gjør at WTBC er et viktig studieområdet for å forstå jordas utvikling i Arkeikum og Palaeoproterozoikum. Formålet ... -
Validating Uncertainty-Aware Virtual Sensors For Industry 4.0
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-01-26)In industry 4.0 manufacturing, sensors provide information about the state, behavior, and performance of processes. Therefore, one of the main goals of Industry 4.0 is to collect high-quality data to realize its business goal, namely zero-defect manufacturing, and high-quality products. However, hardware sensors cannot always gather quality data due to several factors. First, industrial 4.0 deploys ... -
The influence of mass loss on the dynamics of dust near the Sun
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-12-28)The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission by NASA and the Solar Orbiter (SolO) mission by ESA are two recently launched missions that measure dust in the inner solar system. The dust is produced by fragmentation of meteoroids, which are large fragments of the asteroids and comets. The dust particles are small enough that their motion is affected by the radiation pressure force from the Sun. Dust fragments ... -
ConvMixerSeg: Weakly Supervised Semantic Segmentation for CT Liver Images
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-12-17)The predictive power of modern deep learning approaches is posed to revolutionize the medical imaging field, however, their usefulness and applicability are severely limited by the lack of well annotated data. Liver segmentation in CT images is an application that could benefit particularly well from less data hungry methods and potentially lead to better liver volume estimation and tumor detection. ... -
