Term Papers
Here are some other interesting works from my Bachelor's and Master's studies. They are all IN ESTONIAN!
Raising Awareness of the Importance of First Years in Child Development
A term paper in "Management of Education System" HUP8680, 20p, 2005.
The necessity of acquiring education after a certain age (the
age of entering the school) is well understood in the
society. However, there seem to be problems with
understanding the developmental needs and possibilities of
younger children. This term paper suggests some practical
(i.e. not financially demanding) measures for making the
knowledge "The groundwork for high quality life is laid
already during the first years of child's life" to be
considered self-evident in Estonian society.

Semiconductor Laser (+ Gibbs and Bolzmann distributions)
A paper for the exam in "Modern Physics II" YFT8192,
11p, 2004. Gives an overview of how semiconductor lasers
work (and also of Gibbs and Bolzmann distributions, but
that's apparently a bit less interesting).

Multihop / Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
A term paper in "Computer networks" LAP5733, 30p, 2004. Gives an overview of MANETs.
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent complex distributed
systems that comprise wireless mobile nodes that can freely
and dynamically self-organize into arbitrary and temporary,
"ad-hoc" network topologies, allowing people and devices to
seamlessly internetwork in areas with no pre-existing
communication infrastructure (Chlamtac et al, 2003).

The Adaptive Communication Environment (ACE)
A term paper in "Parallel architectures", 18p, 2004.
Looks at some possibilities for reducing the time and effort
needed for developing distributed software. Namely, the
essence of patterns, frameworks and middleware is briefly
covered and an overview of an object oriented tool ACE is
given.

Artificial vs. Biological Neural Networks
An essay for the course "Artificial Intelligence in
Real-Time Systems", 3p, 2004.

Interstitium: the Space Between Cells.
A term paper in "Introduction to biophysics", 25p, 2003.
Gives an overview of the essence and role of the interstitium
in human (and other higher animals') organism. Also helps to
better understand the mechanisms of effect of some healthy
activities.

Onboard Measurement Systems in Aviation
A term paper in "Data acquisition and measurement systems" LEM5000, 2002.
Intellectual Property in the Information Society of the 21st Century
A paper for the exam in "Intellectual Property Law",
29p, 2001. Emphasizes that quite a lot of people
actually consider the traditional way of protecting
intellectual property (and the continuous strengthening
of protective measures) harmful to the society in
general and often even to the IP creators themselves.
