The substitution of Mn by Ni in (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) compounds and its magnetocaloric consequences: A comparison with research studies on cobalt regarding tuneable curie temperature, hysteresis and magnetization

With green energy well on its way to becoming a necessity rather than a commodity it is vital to not only focus on improving the source of energy, but also the efficiency of the eventual energy usage. Vapor-compression based household refrigerators are one of the most used electrical appliances in the common household and consume electricity...

All roads lead to ROMA: Design and evaluation of a Robust Online Map-generation Algorithm based on position traces

Keeping maps up to date is quite costly because road geometry changes over time and mapping by professional surveyors is an expensive operation. With the presence of GPS sensors on mobile phones and in most cars today it becomes possible to measure the location of roads with many measurements from sensors of lower accuracy. In this thesis we...
