Almost half of the energy consumption in the EU originates from heating and cooling of buildings. The European Commission states that smart control of building systems may reduce the energy consumption. Cloud based smart control or even advanced fault-detection systems are becoming more common and should work for any building in the world. These systems need to receive data from the physical build
Protoplanetary discs surround young stars for the first few million years after their formation and they are the birthplaces of planetary systems. The thermal structure of the discs is regulated by their dust content and the opacity that it provides. The aim of this project is to investigate the effect grain growth has on the structure of the protoplanetary discs. Hydrodynamical simulations have b
The aim of this project was to investigate how Bacillus can survive in the finished beer. This was evaluated by producing batches of beer with starter cultures that were deemed to be interesting in terms of their Bacillus content. This beer, together with beer from microbreweries and store-bought beer were plated onto Bacillus Chromoselect agar, a selective agar for Bacillus. Samples were then tak

This report focuses on the region around Thu Bon river mouth in the central part of Vietnam. The beaches next to the river mouth are experiencing severe erosion, especially Cua Dai Beach. The beach is totally eroded
This thesis concludes that financially distressed targets’ shareholders gain significantly higher premiums. Acquirers’ shareholders suffer from value destruction in the short-run when acquiring distressed targets, whereas in the long-run value is created. However, both findings are insignificantly different from non-distressed M&As. Key long-term value drivers in distressed M&As are relati
