Hydropower in Brazil stands for 64.5% of all energy sources in the country. The largest number of hydropower plants are located in the Paraná basin, which together have an installed capacity of approximately 40 GW including the world’s largest producing hydropower plant, Itaipu. The wet season during Brazilian summer (January-March) is the most important for hydropower. Occasionally, extreme, su
To guarantee that the products in the IKEA catalogue are available when requested, IKEA needs to plan and secure capacity. IKEA has developed a process called ONE Supplier Capacity Process to solve supplier capacity issues in a more proactive way. The thesis is focused on suppliers’ in the category Frames and Mirrors with frames in Greater China. Purpose The purposes of the thesis are fourfold: •
This Master Thesis is about developing a control panel for access control together with Axis Communications AB. The aim with the project was to develop the func- tional aspects of a conceptual aesthetic design. This included protection against the environment, choice of material and technique for wall mounting the panel. The method used for the project, was a modified version of Ulrich & Eppin
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the possibilities and challenges of certification for obtaining sustainable tourism. On the basis of the purpose, I have designed two research questions. 1.Which are the possibilities of certification? 2.Which are the challenges of certification? My problem approach is descriptive and my aim with the thesis is to explain “how things are” at a certain time a
RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the main drivers and barriers affecting the Swedish energy industry and its institutional logic? PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to examine the drivers and barriers affecting the Swedish energy sector and its institutional logic. THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE:The theories used for this paper, give the reader an overview of the subject and include: Dominant Logic, Invest
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by diverse presentations and a strong genetic component. Environmental factors, such as prematurity, have also been linked to increased liability for ASD, though the interaction between genetic predisposition and prematurity remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the impact of genetic liability and
Energy expenditure, energy intake, body composition and selected biochemical analyses were studied in 14 males and 16 females with a mean age of 83 years (range 68-92) in geriatric long-stay wards. Energy expenditure was predicted from heart rate monitoring, and energy intake was assessed with a 4-day dietary record. Lean body mass (LBM), body fat (BF), and total body water (TBW) were estimated wi

Randomized clinical trials are the preferred study design to address key research questions about the benefits or harms of interventions. However, randomized trials of oxygen therapy are difficult to conduct and have limitations. The purpose of this article is to offer our view on the potential use of patient registries in the field of home oxygen in COPD as an alternative to randomized trials by
This article analyses the evolution of public support for the single European currency, the euro, from 1990 to 2014 for a 12-country sample of the euro area (EA-12), focusing on the most recent period of the financial and sovereign debt crisis, starting in 2008. We find that citizens’ support for the euro on average was marginally reduced during the first six years of the crisis, and that support
This article describes the development and deployment of Physics Toolbox Play, a gamified component of the Android Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite app, that can introduce young children through adults to fundamental physics principles. The app was used successfully in a variety of contexts, including STEM fairs with primary and secondary students and workshops with undergraduate physics majors and pr
Fundamental bounds on antenna and scattering metrics are presented in this paper utilizing volumetric method of moments. This makes it possible to investigate scenarios not solvable with classical surface method of moments which assumes that good conductors as used. One practical example is the study of plasmonic devices whose operation relies on the interaction between material properties and rad
The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh has put the Islamic regime of Iran in a difficult position. While the government is trying to be neutral, other regime elements have openly taken sides in the conflict.
Understanding the mechanism of action of compounds capable of inhibiting amyloid-fibril formation is critical to the development of potential therapeutics against protein-misfolding diseases. A fundamental challenge for progress is the range of possible target species and the disparate timescales involved, since the aggregating proteins are simultaneously the reactants, products, intermediates, an
