The Internet of Things (IOT) is a fast growing field with new actors constantly joining in. Locations such as farms or remote areas do not always have Internet coverage to access the IoT. This thesis looks at LoRaWAN as an IoT technology and ad-hoc networking to solve this problem. Existing ad-hoc routing protocols such as AODV, HWMP, and ZRP were studied. Based on the study they were evaluated as

Flying is a stressful and demanding task for many passengers, where airlines are always in the search for new technologies and methods to make the expe- rience more comfortable and stimulating. In this thesis, we have evaluated accessibility support within in-flight-entertainment systems available in the market today. The focus has beenonusabilityforuserswithreducedornovision.

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera resistivitetsdata från ett område i Hilleröd kommun och att kartlägga förekomsten av sand och grus. Naturgrus och sand är eftertraktade material inom anläggnings- och byggnadssektorn men fungerar också som bra grundvattenreservoarer. Region Hovedstaden i Danmark försöker hitta mäktiga lager av sand (0,6-2 mm) och naturgrus (2-20 mm) på Själland för utvinninThe purpose of this study is to analyze resistivity data from an area in Hilleröd municipality and to map the presence of sand and gravel. Gravel and sand are materials with high a demand in the construction sector, but also function as great groundwater reservoirs. Region Hovedstaden in Denmark wants to search for thick layers of sand (0.6-2 mm) and gravel (2-20 mm) in Själland for extraction. Th

Formaldehyd är en kemikalie som används till allt möjligt. I första hand används den som en råvara till andra kemiska fabriker, men kan också användas för att göra olika typer av laminater. Johnson Matthey Formox är ett företag som utvecklar och säljer fabriker som producerar formaldehyd. Formaldehyd skapas när metanol reagerar med syre under specifika situationer. Formox har gjort många utvecklinA pre-adiabatic reactor concept for catalytic methanol oxidation was investigated. The reason was the possibilities of a reduced catalyst reloading time and reduced deflagration risk. An adiabatic reactor pilot was constructed. Trials were performed to confirm that the pilot was running at an adiabatic state. Information about the pilot pressure drop, temperature profile and outlet composition was

For most companies, especially the ones handling large flows of material there are buffers in different stages of the value chain, also referred to as inventory. By effectively managing inventories, businesses can see bottom line impact on financial performance factors such as revenue streams, costs and capital efficiency. The authors built a relevant frame of references based upon theories within

During the last few years, the interest for electric vehicles has increased enormously, there are even talk of prohibiting fossil fuels in the coming years. There is a risk that the charging of these electric vehicles can strain the electric grid. The simulations of the grid with added power demand from the electric vehicles concludes that there will not be a problem on the low- and medium voltage

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide a flexible method for acquiring high-resolution imagery with relative simple operation and cost-effectiveness. This technology emerged 30 years ago and it is widely used by commercial, scientific, and military communities due to its versatility. However, new technology brings new challenges. One of them is the radiometric accuracy of the UAV imagery. Radiome

Often-times referred to as “Africa’s untapped market”, the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) have become a prominent element of economic strategy and policy dialogue in South Africa over the past several decades. Although a relatively new sector of the economy, the CCIs have experienced rapid growth, now contributing over 3% to GDP annually. However there remains considerable debate regardin

The designation of World Heritage Site overcomes a serious of events in the life of each location. The social life of the sites that are designated brings a discussion about the characters that are responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the physical and ontological characteristics of the data and knowledge originated in it. Archaeology today involves certain characteristics that overc

Bluetooth Automation IO, and its place in a Cable Replacement Solution: With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and a desire for connectivity between even the smallest devices, several low powered wireless technologies are fighting for a place in the IoT market. The Automation IO profile for Bluetooth Low Energy was designed to provide a low-level standardized way of exposing digital and an

Since digital games entered the market they have been classified as a problematic medium, something that makes people aggressive and isolated from their surroundings. A stereotype of a white, adult male, playing alone and killing virtual people started to spread in the public. During the summer and early autumn of 2016, a new game entered the public sphere, which made people all over the world lea

Unagi-sentences are, as defined in this thesis, sentences where there is a mismatch between the literal interpretation of the sentence and its meaning in context, often accompanying an apparent violation of selection restrictions of the predicate. This thesis argues that the phenomenon of unagi-sentences shows more variation than previously thought, as well as provides a much needed comparison of

This project focus on mouthfeel and textures within food area and try to connect it with emotion. The concept is inspired from space and Mars exploration in food related topics. Developing with experiments and coming up with a set of emotions outlet tools for not only eating but exploring your mouth. There are tons of product in markets that focus on only getting food from plate to mouth. However,

There is a lot of discussion going on how to adapt to the changing climatic conditions, especially in countries where financial resources are limited. The built environment has been identified as a key area of intervention. As disasters, such as typhoons, can devastate entire cities, it is essential that the most important buildings in these cities, the lifelines so to speak, are resilient and can

Gummigranulat på konstgräsplaner - En miljörisk till följd av spridning via dagvattensystemet Nikoline Gustafsson Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av kandidatexamen i miljövetenskap maj 2017, Lunds universitet. Den här rapporten fokuserar på gummigranulat på konstgräsplaner och hur de tar sig ut i miljön via de svenska dagvattensystemet. Det är intressant att veta hur gummigranulat ter sig i oArtificial football fields contains rubber granulate wich tends to disappear from the fields and into the environment via the storm water system. The number of football fields made of artificial turf in Sweden is increasing. Because the synthetic turf have better qualities compare to natural turf, especially in the northen climate because the artificial turf can be used even in the winter. The amo

The purpose of this study is to explore and gain an increased understanding of the key success factors behind young talent acquisition and development in terms of value creation, and thus contribute to the research field of Strategy - and Human Resource literature. This will be done by a case study of AAK, a leading producer of vegetable fats, to empirically analyze how they work with talent acqui

Intresset för att bygga fler och högre trähus i Sverige har senaste tiden ökat bland annat då trä är ett betydligt mer miljövänligt alternativ att bygga med än stål och betong. Stomsystem i trä har dock ingen naturlig sammanhållning likt en platsgjuten betongstomme och därför måste anslutningarna i en trästomme hanteras explicit. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) driver en konceptstudie om högaThe interest in building more and higher timber buildings in Sweden has recently increased, for example, because wood is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to construct with then steel and concrete. Frame system in wood has no natural cohesion like a cast concrete frame and therefore the connection in a wooden frame must be managed explicitly. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) run
