The following thesis describes the construction of a model, made in Simscape, of an existing steam cycle at a pulp mill located in the south of Sweden. The pulp mill has had problems with produced steam being wasted, and the purpose of the model was to trim the regulation of existing components to reduce this surplus of steam. The model was built and extended incrementally, starting with the steam

Two different topologies of power amplifiers (PAs) are designed in the frequency range 130-174.8 GHz for use in backhaul transmitters. These are the pseudo-differential common source (PDCS) and the single-ended stacked amplifier topologies. The PAs are designed in Cadence AWR design environment with virtual source models, implemented in Verilog-A, of InGaAs nanowire transistors using a 20 nm gate
There are many unemployed in Sweden that do not qualify for unemployment insurance and instead are referred to social assistance.
