Abstract:
Dammar är en viktig konstruktion i Sverige och i världen bland annat för vattenförsörjning, reglering av flöden och elproduktion. En expansion på grund av en alkalisilikareaktion (ASR) i en betongdamm kan leda till många problem. Bland annat kan det uppstå läckage av vatten och problem med öppning och stängning av luckor. Mycket forskning har lagts ner på att ta reda på hur ASR påverkar hållfastheten och bärförmågan hos betong. Detta examensarbete syftar till att genom en litteraturstudie visa hur bärförmågan hos en lamell­damm påverkas av en alkalisilikareaktion. I den första delen beskrivs v

Over the last decades, numerous techniques have been proposed worldwide to assess the actual damage of critical concrete infrastructure. A method that has progressively been used in North America is a novel microscopic tool, the Damage Rating Index (DRI). This semi-quantitative petrographic tool was developed to reliably appraise both the nature and degree of damage in concrete affected by alkali-silica reaction (ASR), which may threaten the serviceability and the durability of concrete infrastructure around the world. Performing the DRI consists of counting numerous distress features (i.e. cl

Abstract:
Os estresses abióticos impostos à planta no campo, tais como o estresse salino, toxidez por alumínio, frio, seca, entre outros, afetam seu crescimento, desenvolvimento e produtividade. Dentre as gramíneas cultivadas, o arroz (Oryza sativa) é uma das culturas de maior importância no Brasil, cuja oscilação na produção acarreta prejuízos consideráveis à economia brasileira. Dessa forma, o estudo das interações entre os estresses abióticos e as respostas dos vegetais frente a esses estímulos ambientais é fundamental para um conhecimento detalhado desses mecanismos. O arroz é um dos cereais mais to

Abstract:
The meager offering of online commercial Swedish Automatic Speech Recognition ser-vices prompts the effort to develop a speech recognizer for Swedish using the open sourcetoolkit Kaldi and publicly available NST speech corpus. Using a previous Kaldi recipeseveral GMM-HMM models are trained and evaluated against commercial options toallow for reasoning of the performance of a customized solution for Automatic SpeechRecognition to that of commercial services. The evaluation takes both accuracy andcomputational speed into consideration. Initial results of the evaluation indicate a sys-tematic bia

Abstract:
Talking to a computer is hard. Large vocabulary automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are difficult to use and yet they are used by many people in their daily work. This thesis addresses the question: How is ASR used and made usable and useful in the workplace now? To answer these questions I went into two workplaces where ASR is currently used and one where ASR could be used in the future. This field work was done with designing in mind. ASR dictation systems are currently used in the Australian Public Service (APS) by people who suffer chronic workplace overuse injuries and in the Hansa

Abstract:
Learning representations is a central challenge in machine learning. For speech recognition, we are interested in learning robust representations that are stable across different acoustic environments, recording equipment and irrelevant inter– and intra– speaker variabilities. This thesis is concerned with representation learning for acoustic model adaptation to speakers and environments, construction of acoustic models in low-resource settings, and learning representations from multiple acoustic channels. The investigations are primarily focused on the hybrid approach to acoustic modelling ba
