In Sweden, what we eat accounts for about a third of the consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions, and there is strong evidence that the most effective way to reduce emissions is to switch to a more plant-based diet. A shift is currently underway in the Swedish food system; the market for plant-based products is showing an exponential growth, coupled with, for the first time since the 1950s, a d
The growing number of African Presidents on Twitter affirms that media, in all its forms, will always play a fundamental role in contemporary politics. Moreover, based on its face value, the presence of Presidents on Twitter could suggest that citizens are gaining unprecedented access to their president. But, this thesis contends that the newness of Twitter should not blind us into thinking that t
The engineers at Westinghouse Electric Company have developed a new nuclear fuel design called TRITON11™, which will be used in Boiling Water Reactors (BWR). This project has been to develop a test program and an assembly fixture for TRITON11™. The test program can not be fully presented in this repport due to confidentiality. The test program is for the first scoping test that will be performed o
A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was succes
The purpose of this master’s thesis was to examine existing augmented reality technologies and develop an application for Windows phone. The goal with the application was to find new ways to use augmented reality technologies together with public transport. The end user would use the application to search for and find new journey options. The development process consisted of four steps – investig
This thesis has two values. On one side, it aims at being a contribution to a betterunderstanding of the original concept of distributed economies. On the other side, it aspires atproviding useful decision criteria to those stakeholders that plan to locally develop a biogassystem.This thesis is developed from the Distributed Economies concept, which envisionsdecentralized, self-reliant and synergi
Parallel kinematik machines are nowadays an important branch of investigation in the robotics field. Its design allows for high speeds, accelerations and tool forces as well as makes them ideals for faster cycle times and high repeatability works. TAU is a parallel kinematic machine from ABB Company with three degrees of freedom. Therefore, it can be positioned anywhere of the workspace but not or
Objective: The objectives set out for this Master Thesis were: · How should a coffee machine for home use be designed and which features should the machine provide? · How should an experimental prototype be manufactured? · How should an experimental prototype be tested? Method: The thesis is written as a product development report and essentially follows the methods described by Ulrich and Eppinge
Formula Student is an international inter-universities competition about designing and building a single-seater racing car. One of the most important parts in a car is the suspension system, from the tires to the shock absorbers. This Master Thesis’ report goes through all these parts, looking to theory, different design options, the constraints (rules, economical, packaging, etc) and the final de
The Republic of Moldova is celebrating 20 years of independence and is still almost completely dependent on energy imports from the Russian federation. Renewable energy is in its infancy despite a climate that is well suited for solar and wind energy with 2,300 sunshine hours per year and measured wind speeds up to 8.5 m/s. Moldova has a history of wine production and wide spread usage of more tha
In this thesis, InGaAs fins with vertical sidewalls consisting of {110} facets were epitaxially grown on InP(111)B substrates using metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. A lithography patterned hydrogen silsesquixane growth mask was used to promote the formation of vertical {110} facets during the growth. The relative growth rate of the {111B} and {110} facets was controlled by the input V/III ratio i
Two decades after emerging from war and after many years of delay, Bosnia and Herzegovina at last submitted an EU membership application in 2016. There is little doubt, however, that candidate status and accession are still a long way off. Reform process is slow, and the country’s state of democracy is undermined by a variety of factors. To evaluate perspectives for the future, this paper investig
The purpose of this master’s thesis project is to aid Thomson Reuters to forecast soil moisture, enhancing the agricultural productivity of its clients. This thesis focuses on testing the company’s HBV model (HBV-TR) to accurately produce daily soil moisture values in Brazil, France, and the U.S.A. The problem is that, up to this day, the most reliable monitoring of this soil water content is als
During the past few years the focus on bioprocess monitoring and control has increased. An area still under intensive development is the sampling methods for efficient and rapid analysis during fermentations. In this thesis, an online-sampling and monitoring scheme was developed using the versatile automated continuous flow system (VersAFlo) for recombinant protein production. From the implementat
With modern day interest to continue the reduction of harmful emissions and improve the efficiency of combustion devices, the need to further improve upon accuracy and ability to describe combustive processes is of high value. Nowadays, multiple capable point (0D) and two-dimensional measurement (2D) techniques exist for flame investigation, however as combustion nearly always is a three-dimension
The accuracy and portability of depth cameras have increased by a lot in recent years, which allows for advanced 3D scanning of the environment for robotic applications. In this thesis we have developed a system that uses a depth camera mounted on a robot arm to identify and localize arbitrary objects, and give hints on how to move the camera to get better localization results. The system works by
CellaVision develops automated microscopy for blood analysis. Their products can pre-classify 19 different types of white blood cells and support the medical technologist performing the final classification. CellaVision provides reference cells. The reference cells are a fixed set of cells handpicked by a technologist, chosen to be typical for that specific class. The reference cells are static, i
