Many buildings, both new and old, suffer from moisture-related problems, with negative consequences on health, costs for rebuilding and lost confidence in the building industry. These problems could have been avoided if moisture issues had been focused on and dealt with throughout the building process. A method for including moisture safety in the building process has therefore been developed. The

The main goal of this thesis is to assess the current packaging development process at one of the leading Swedish corrugated packaging companies, from a food safety perspective, in order to help the corrugated board industry to build knowledge to produce safer packaging for direct food contact. Furthermore, to understand the current situation within a packaging company and to suggest more responsi

The possibility to print out metallic components with complex 3D-structures is could revolutionize the industry. In this master’s thesis the cause of process parameters have been investigated for three alloys; stainless steel, 316L, two nickel-based alloys, a derivative of Alloy 738 and 939. Microstructure, porosity, tensile testing, impact toughness, hardness and surface roughness was investigate

This master thesis is on Statistical Process Control (SPC). The objective is to evaluate if SPC can be used in a process that produces plates for heat exchanger, the process evaluated is located at Alfa Laval Lund AB. The products are produced in the process by punching and shearing metal coils. An ambition in the project is also to increase the knowledge about Statistical Process Control at Alfa

The invention of computers revolutionized the way of doing science and in particular the field of mathematics. Computers were faster than any human mind in doing calculations and they did not make mistakes opening a wide range of possibilities that earlier where in practice uncomputable. Scientists observe the behavior of nature and find mathematical equations that model the different phenomena. IThe efficient simulation of thermal interaction between fluids and structures is crucial in the design of many industrial products, e.g. turbine blades or rocket nozzles. The main goal of this work is to present a high order time adaptive multirate parallel partitioned coupled method for the efficient numerical solution of two parabolic problems with strong jumps in the material coefficients that

An integrated biological process for the production of hydrogen based on thermophilic and photo-heterotrophic fermentation was evaluated from a technical and economic standpoint. Besides the two fermentation steps the process also includes pretreatment of the raw material (potato steam peels) and purification of hydrogen using amine absorption. The study aimed neither at determining the absolute c

The quality of a product can be defined by its ability to satisfy the needs and expectations of its customers. Achieving quality is especially difficult in market-driven situations since the product is released on an open market with numerous potential customers and users with various wishes. The quality of the software product is to a large extent determined by the quality of the requirements eng

Software process simulation can be a valuable support for process analysis and improvement provided the respective model development can focus on the issues at hand without spending effort on basically modeling everything from scratch. Rather, the modeling groundwork should readily be available as building blocks for (re)use. In the domain of software engineering, the work-test-rework cycle is one

Our future built environment will not only consume energy, it will also produce (partly) its own energy need. Solar energy has been proven to be a valid strategy for producing on-site renewable energy. Planning for integrating solar energy in buildings involves many players and decision-making. In this article, a process map defining which decisions regarding solar energy needs to be discussed in

In this work, we present a novel self-aligned gate-last fabrication process for vertical nanowire metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. The fabrication method allows for exposure dose-defined gate lengths and a local diameter reduction of the intrinsic channel segment, while maintaining thicker highly doped access regions. Using this process, InAs nanowire transistors combining good

The focus of this paper is on the design of pervaporation units for wastewater treatment taking into account technical, economic, and environmental aspects. Two different sized industrial wastewater streams of water-chloroform, and of water-methyl-isobutylketone (MIBK) are considered. Based on a wastewater stream of 1,500 kg/d, a semi-batch process combining pervaporation with a decanter recycle l

Research on monoclonal antibody (mAb) has considerably gained importance during the last decades, not only for cancer therapy but also for its importance in variety of fields. Unfortunately, the development phase can take several years before obtaining FDA approval, hence alternative approaches that could potentially shorten this timeline are critically needed. For instance, flow-injection analysi

The Hawkes process, also referred to as a self-exciting point process, is a class of point processes where the intensity is conditioned on previous events. More specifically, an event occurrence excites the process, temporarily increasing the probability of more events occurring. One application of Hawkes processes is to model occurrences of crimes, such as burglaries or shootings. The present the
