Business case as a decision support when relocating manufacturing

Companies are relocating in order to save cost and for strategic reason. In order to reveal in what extent company today use business case studies when making relocation decisions, an interview study was conducted. Throughout the interview study the following paper establish what cost different companies are taking in consideration when relocate and if those are calculated or estimated. The resear

Polar machinability diagrams - a model to predict the machinability of a work material

The article presents a newly developed model for the description and classification of machinability, based on comparison with a reference material. The model illustrates critical machinability properties in a polar diagram with 5 axes and poles. Each axis represents a behaviour or property, i.e. abrasiveness or hardness. The total machinability profile of a work material can then be outlined by g

Remote Sensing of Forest Decline in the Czech Republic

This thesis describes the localisation and quantification of deforestation and forest damage in Norway spruce forests in northern Czech Republic using Landsat data. Severe defoliation increases the spectral reflectance in all wavelength bands, especially in the mid infrared region. These spectral differences allow the separation of three damage categories with an accuracy of 75% using TM data and

Att se och tänka med ritual: kontrakterande ritualer i de isländska släktsagorna

To make it possible to classify an action as a ritual act we need to know exactly what constitutes it. In this thesis I try, with the aid from literature of the field called ritual studies and the sagas of Icelanders, to sort out what these constituent elements best should consist of if we want to use the term ritual as an analytical tool in the production of knowledge with scientific criteria. Ri

Stabilization of Vehicle Formations-A Case Study

This work treats a specific multi-vehicle control case, namely six vehicles on the Multi-Vehicle Wireless Testbed (MTWT), wich is an arena at Caltech, California, built for doing experiments on small vehicles. A model is set up and a controller is found through simulations that stabilizes the system. Stability is proven through a Nyquist-like criterion.

Polymer Gels and their Interactions with Ionic Surfactants

The response on chemically crosslinked gels and polymer solutions on the addition of ionic surfactants and/or addition of salt at different temperatures have been studied. All polymers studied are water soluble and slightly hydrophobic or hydrophobically modified. Because of their hydrophobicity the polymers have a strong tendency to associate, both with themselves and with surfactants. Another i
