Wastewater treatment consists of mechanical, chemical and biological purification. This master thesis concerns the biological part of the wastewater treatment called the activated sludge process (ASP). Two different mathematical models, one simplified and one complete, of the ASP are investigated. The models contain systems of nonlinear partial and ordinary differential equations. The nonlineariti

This master thesis project serves to investigate the possibilities of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) using the example of enthalpy control of the BENSON HRSG (heat recovery steam generator) of a combined cycle power plant (CCPP). The general idea of NMPC is to solve an optimization problem, to nd the next control action, and this optimization problem is based on a model of the system. T

In order to curb emissions and resulting environmental problems caused by the rapidly growing energy use of its building sector, China has implemented a number of policy instruments to promote Green Building practices, including market-based instruments for energy efficiency in buildings. This thesis aims to evaluate the economic efficiency of these policy measures, using the Four-High Award of Sh

Men Pierre Bourdieu och hans anhängare menar att vi än idag inte är så fria ifrån strukturer som ”Death of Class” teoretikerna menar. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera om vi verkligen blivit mer i

In this project, Esaki tunnel diodes have been made of InP(n+)/InGaAs(p+) core/sell nanowires and current-voltage characteristics of the nanowire tunnel diodes for future electronic and photovoltaic application have been investigated. Six different groups of nanowires with different doping concentrations of the shell have been studied with the aim of finding the best nanowire condition to use in t

This thesis is an argumentative analysis which utilizes the Toulmin model. The analysis is initially of a descriptive nature but progresses and transforms its intentions into a prescriptive and evidential form in a continuum. The materials which are processed are three opinion-forming articles published in august in English language newspapers. The analysis is performed by categorizing the element

Syftet med litteraturstudien är att belysa sjuksköterskors och patienters erfarenheter av omvårdnaden efter ett parasuicid. Uppföljningsstudier har visat att en del av de personer som har gjort ett parasuicid har under de närmaste tio åren fullbordat ett suicid, varav hälften gör det inom ett år. I litteraturstudien analyserades och kvalitetsgranskades åtta vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet visad

Credit Default Swaps (CDS) have been subject to criticism since the break out of the economic turmoil in 2008, triggered by a weak housing market in the USA and the default of the investment bank Lehman Brothers.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur modeföretags gröna marknadsföring uppfattas och vilken påverkan deras gröna marknadsföring har på konsumenters konsumtionsbeteende. För att kunna besvara syftet utfördes en fallstudie av två svenska modeföretag, Boomerang och Hennes & Mauritz, vilka båda har ett aktivt miljöarbete i sina verksamheter. Studieobjekten var konsumenter som under intervjuti

While various studies have been conducted on the innovative potential suffix of Japanese vowel verbs, commonly known as ranuki kotoba (lit. ra-omission words), few studies exist on the use of the innovative form based on situational context and style of speech. The main purpose of my thesis is to provide an up-to-date quantitative analysis on the situation-based use of ranuki kotoba (referred to a
