The common conception of children as the future citizen rather than as active citizens have lead to completely ignoring the needs of children during the designing proc
Equipment installation at MAX IV, a state-of-the-art particle accelerator in Sweden, requires accuracy and precision in the range of micrometers. The measurement technology used is laser tracking, with which the position of a movable reflector is determined, by reflecting the laser beam emitted from a stationary tracker. Data describing the real-time position of the reflector is handled in a softw
Purpose To examine if Chinese acquirers create short-term shareholder wealth through cross-border acquisitions, measured by fluctuations of the stock price of the acquiring firm.

Detta examensarbete fokuserar på hur uppvärmningsprocessegenskaper kan användas för att bestämma en styrlag till en regulator inom fastighetsautomation. En testmiljö har satts upp med ventilationssystem och värmekälla. Testmiljön styrs av en PLC. Systemets överföringsfunktion har beräknats ifrån Newtons avsvalningslag. Tidskonstanten för det öppna systemet har beräknats utgående utifrån temperaturThis thesis focuses on how properties of a heating process can be used to determine a control law for a controller in a HVAC system. A test environment has been set up with a ventilation system and a heat source. The test environment is controlled by a PLC. The process transfer function has been modeled based upon Newton's cooling law. The time constant for the open-loop system has been estima
