Microsoft Word - Classrooms - 2012, nov, digital classroom, invitation.docx Signatures  of  Life  on  Earth  and  in  Cosmos   An important aspect of astrobiology is the ability to clearly distinguish signs of past or present life in extraterrestrial environments. A better understanding of how to distinguish signs of life from alternative inorganic processes has the potential to enrich the general

Den additiva tillverkningsprocessen och kvalificeringen av komponenter i metall är komplex och tillverkningsmetoden är inte ännu fullständigt förstådd. Syftet med detta examensarbete är därför att förvärva kunskap om kvalificeringsprocesser kopplade till additiv tillverkning i metall och att utveckla en hållbar kvalificering för additivt tillverkade komponenter hos Alfa Laval. KvalificeringsprocedThe process of additive manufacturing and qualification of components in metal is complex, and the manufacturing method is still not fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to gather knowledge of the qualification procedures connected to additive manufacturing in metal and to develop sustainable qualification for additively manufactured parts at Alfa Laval. The qualification pro

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) has become a commercially viable technology. The technology uses the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction between coils to transfer electrical power wirelessly. Due to the increasing interest in WPT, the need to understand how the power transfer between coils behaves in different settings, as well as the ability to simulate the process, have become increasingly imp

This thesis describes a method for concluding attributes of a star (including ages, temperatures, chemical element abundances) from its spectra. The method was developed by the 4MOST (4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope) consortium. How the model outputs stellar attributes by receiving spectra is too complicated to be included in one thesis, so only introductions of numerical methods whic

A case study is presented that evaluates the impact of partial automation strategies on productivity and ergonomics. A company partly automated its assembly and transportation functions while moving from a parallel-batch to a serial line-based production system. Data obtained from company records and key informants were combined with detailed video analysis, biomechanical modelling data and field

A particle-based transported probability density function (PDF) method with a novel chemistry acceleration technique is developed in this work. The technique is based on the chemistry coordinate mapping (CCM) approach that was proposed in our previous works for accelerating direct numerical simulations (DNS) of partially premixed combustion. The method is first validated using Sandia flames D and

Forest soil carbon (C) pools may act as sinks for, or sources of, atmospheric carbon dioxide, while nitrogen (N) fertilization may affect the net exchange of C in forest ecosystems. Since all major C and N processes in soil are driven by soil microorganisms, we evaluated the effects of N fertilization on biomass and bacterial and fungal activity in soils from three Norway spruce forests with diffe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Drygt en tiondel av Sveriges befolkning lider av hjärt-kärlsjukdom som också är den vanligaste dödsorsaken. Många av de akuta sjukdomstillstånden orsakas av att en bit inflammerad blodkärlsvävnad bryts loss från sitt fäste i något av de stora blodkärlen, färdas med blodet och täpper till blodflödet i mindre blodkärl. Detta leder till syrebrist och celldöd nedströms om dAbstract Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disease, but an unbalanced immune system plays a critical role in the disease development. A common theory states that a continuous stress to the vascular vessel wall initiates a repair process that however is insufficient to completely heal the tissue. This imbalance is associated with accumulation of cholesterol, which is an essential component of ce

Abstract: Purpose – While the importance of measuring customer satisfaction levels is well established, less research exists on how organizations operationalize such knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to describe an action research (AR) case study resulting in a workshop model to operationalize the concept of value. The model facilitates organizational learning and mindset changes in order to

The purpose of this master thesis is to explore IKEA’s return system and to suggest potential areas of improvement. The master thesis shall describe and identify the problems regarding handling material of the present return system, in order to suggest potential areas of improvement. This master thesis is an explorative study. Wide ranges of interviews were made and are the base of the study. Ob

This thesis describes how business can be improved using a number of rather new methods; Data Mining, Business Intelligence and Customer Relationship Management. The idea presented is that an organization, through data, owns a lot of information about their business and customers. In order to turn this information into knowledge, it needs to be interpreted. The knowledge acquired will improve the

Although Global Digital Elevation Models (GDEMs) are widely used, their spatial error distributions over extensive regions remain insufficiently understood. Using ICESat-2 Reference Control Points (RCPs) (~ 30 points/km²), this paper not only evaluates GDEMs with point-based metrics such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Error (ME), but also proposes a novel raster-independent Spatial Erro

The Gaussian β-ensemble is a real n-point configuration {xj}n1 picked randomly with respect to the Boltzmann factor e− β 2 Hn, where Hn = ∑i≠j log |xi−1xj| + n ∑ni=112 xi2. It is well known that the point process {xj }n1 tends to follow the semicircle law σ (x) = 21π√(4 − x2 )+ in certain average senses. A Fekete configuration (minimizer of Hn) is spread out in a much more uniform way in the inter

Photoionization of atoms by high-order harmonics in the presence of a laser may lead to quantum interference from which information about the photoionization dynamics or the light fields can be extracted. Traditionally, this interference arises from two-photon transitions involving the absorption of consecutive harmonics combined with the absorption and stimulated emission of a laser photon. In th

In the late 1990s, the member states of the European Union decided to establish a Common European Asylum System (CEAS), in order to enhance refugee protection. However, the emerging common asylum policies have been deeply criticized for breaching international norms and principles. In this thesis I argue that a discrepancy does exist between the international human rights norm expressed as the Gen
