The combustion and melt dripping of poly(ethylene-co-butyl acrylate) (EBA), EBA blended with polypropylene (EBAePP) and poly (ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMAA), each blended with calcium carbonate and polydimethylsiloxane, were studied. In situ measurement of the temperature gradient in the cone calorimeter were combined with infrared spectroscopy measurements on specimens withdrawn and quenche
Popular Abstract in Swedish Aktie- och fondsparandet bland allmänheten har ökat dramatiskt i Sverige under 1990-talet, och allt fler företag har valt börsintroducering som finansieringsform. På så sätt har frågor som rör värdepappersmarknaden fått en ökad och mer allmän relevans, inte minst när det gäller regleringen av vad som är tillåtet och otillåtet att göra på marknaden. Både från statligt håIn this dissertation the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's (FSA) investigation of suspected insider trading offences is examined and analysed. The aim of the study is to describe FSA's investigative activity in insider cases during the 1990?s, a period of both increased activity on the Swedish stock market as well as changed regulation. The study places the investigation of insider offence
Summary. The reasons that inhibitory factor VIII antibodies develop in only a fraction of patients with haemophilia A remain unclear, but studies of genetically related subjects have indicated that the immunological outcome of replacement therapy is to a large extent determined by patient-related risk factors. Non-genetic factors will also influence the inhibitor risk, since events challenging the
Laser spectroscopy of free atoms has been pursued for 25 years starting in the visible region and with a constant thrust towards shorter wavelengths. A review of generation schemes and atomic-physics experiments in the short-wavelength region is given. Processes in ions and inner shells occur on a very fast timescale setting special demands on the sources. Using picosecond laser technology efficie
The proportion of public procurement is nowadays more than substantial; it amounts to all the goods and services that the State, perceived as both: central and local administrations, demands in order to assure the effective and sustainable functioning of the society. Moreover, as the procurement procedures aim at simultaneously achieving best value for money and high standards in non-financial mat
In this thesis the implementation of fundamental democratic values in municipal multi-party elected councils, Hamn- och gatunämnden and Barn- och utbildningsnämnden in Varberg, is discussed. A discussion about what implications expert knowledge can have in the decision-making process is also conducted. The thesis consists of two parts. In the first part an empirical analysis of ideas is conducted
This report details the process and result of developing a mathematical inventory control model to be use by AQ Electric Suzhou. The mathematical model was written in Microsoft Excels inherent programming language Visual Basic and utilizes printouts such as sales history, bill of materials, component data etc. from AQ Electric Suzhous ERP system Monitor to derive a demand history for each componen
This master thesis is about the mathematical modeling of an inventory control system. The system is a single-echelon two-location system with one type of item. The locations replenish from a supplier that is assumed to have an ample stock. The demand is modeled as customers arriving according to a Poisson process with a known intensity and each customer only demands one item. In addition to replen
The terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum is an important research area allowing insights into fundamental science such as inter-molecular interactions, and with applications in the environmental, medical and security field. Using femtosecond lasers, it is possible to design compact and efficient terahertz generation schemes, resulting in few-cycle broadband pulses. This master thesis i
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda artikel 17.3.a i Europeiska unionens förordning 2016/679, gällande behandling av personuppgifter, ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Artikel 17 i förordningen stadgar en juridisk rätt för registrerade att i vissa fall kräva att personuppgifter raderas. Artikel 17.3.a stadgar att denna rätt till radering av information inte gäller om behandlingen av informationeThe purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine article 17.3.a in regulation 2016/679 of the European Union, regarding the processing of personal data, from a perspective of legality. Article 17 in the regulation settles, under certain circumstances, a legal right for the data subject to have personal data deleted. Article 17.3.a settles that this right to have information deleted shall not appl
Knowledge transfer and learning in strategic alliances is mentioned in the literature as a business instrument to gain new knowledge in order to innovate and improve the competitive advantage. Most of the existing literature has been focusing on large organisations. Therefore, a better understanding about small and medium enterprises (hereafter referred to as SMEs) is necessary. By using a qualita
This paper presents a decomposition strategy applicable to DAE constrained optimization problems. A common solution method for such problems is to apply a direct transcription method and solve the re- sulting nonlinear program using an interior-point algorithm. For this approach, the time to solve the linearized KKT system at each iteration typically dominates the total solution time. In our propo
In this paper we address the test scheduling problem for system-on-chip designs. Different from previous approaches where it is assumed that all tests will be performed until completion, we consider the cases where the test process will be terminated as soon as a defect is detected. This is common practice in production test of chips. The proposed technique takes into account the probability of de
Contemporary business trends are more and more shifting focus to the requirements of the customers. One of the most important factors for the customer is quality, both in the interface with the selling company and in the products sold. Tetra Pak is a pioneer within the packaging of diaries and food. The company has been profitable in most situations which have created a state of mind where quality
It is said that Malmö, in the past few decades, has taken on a more entrepreneurial role in order to adjust to an increasing inter-urban competition. The new conditions of urban development mean that marketing plays an increasingly important role. In the marketing of Malmö, the city is being portrayed as successful, creative and attractive. The past few decades have, however, also entailed an incr
Organisationers ökade engagemang för hållbarhetsfrågor, kan idag ses som en re-aktion av att omvärlden i allt större utsträckning förväntar sig mer än endast en förskönad fasad. Både interna och externa intressenter kräver allt mer pålitliga or-ganisationer med autenticitet och substans. För att leva upp till omvärldens krav krävs det en stark organisation med distinkt organisationsidentitet som bThe increased commitment to corporate social responsibility, seen among organi-zations, can today be viewed as a reaction to the fact that the outside world increa-singly expects more than an embellished façade. Both internal and external stake-holders demand more and more dependable organizations with authenticity and substance. When building a strong organization - to succeed in creating a stron
