It is shown how first-order performance estimation of high-orderadaptive optics (AO) systems may be efficiently implemented in a hybridnumerical simulation by the use of 1) sparse matrix techniques forwavefront reconstruction, 2) undersampled pupil-plane turbulence-inducedaberrations, and 3) analytical models that compensate - in the limit ofinfinite exposure time - for the errors introduced by un
ABB Machines in Västerås, Sweden develop, sell, and manufacture generators and large electric motors worldwide. During the past years new competitors have emerged from a lower output range and some customers have reduced their demands in order to reduce the generator costs. In order to meet these changes in the market ABB Machines has developed a new pre-engineered standardized generator that allo
In the ongoing joint venture between Ericsson and ST Microelectronics, EMP spend data needed to be extracted, consolidated and analyzed to support the ongoing joint venture. Provide an understanding what spend analysis is and how it can support the business and operations in the company. Purpose: The purpose with this master thesis was to create a foundation of spend analysis knowledge at the comp
In Lalati, understanding women's roles, in respect to their needs, strategies and contribution to their household food security is seldom the focus of any discussion. Undoubtedly fisherwomen and fishermen are different but the question remains, how different and to what extent is it different.This thesis is a case study which documents the fishing practices and the traditional ecological knowl
We investigate whether stellar-mass black holes have to receive natal kicks in order to explain the observed distribution of low-mass X-ray binaries containing black holes within our Galaxy. Such binaries are the product of binary evolution, where the massive primary has exploded forming a stellar-mass black hole, probably after a common envelope phase where the system contracted down to separatio
VOR, the versatile optimal resolution chopper spectrometer, is designed to probe dynamic phenomena that are currently inaccessible for inelastic neutron scattering due to flux limitations. VOR is a short instrument by the standards of the European Spallation Source (ESS), 30.2m moderator to sample, and provides instantaneous access to a broad dynamic range, 1-120 meV within each ESS period. The sh
Despite increasing evidence suggesting the cerebellum works in concert with the cortex and basal ganglia, the nature of the reciprocal interactions between these three brain regions remains unclear. This consensus paper gathers diverse recent views on a variety of important roles played by the cerebellum within the cerebello-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical system across a range of motor and cogniti
Purpose - To provide an integrated perspective to similarities and differences between approaches to automated classification in different research communities (machine learning, information retrieval and library science), and point to problems with the approaches and automated classification as such. Design/methodology/approach - A range of works dealing with automated classification of full-text
Graphic correlation using graptolites and conodonts provides a high-resolution timescale for correlating from coastal to deep oceanic sections and, thereby, also a detailed record of the sequence of changes during the Mulde Secundo-Secundo Event. That interval includes sedimentary facies otherwise unknown in older Wenlock to early Ludlow strata on Gotland. The identified sequence of changes includ
What this paper endeavors to achieve is an exploration into the issues behind and within the debate surrounding the inclusion of GM plants in a green economic framework. What is first described is the green economic framework, what it is, how it works, why it is desired. Following this is the subject of plant biotechnology, what it is and how it differs from conventional plant breeding, its potent
I oceanerna finns ett system av vulkaniska ryggar, där ny oceanbotten bildas genom intensiv vulkanism. Svarta eller vita lösningar skjuter med hög hastighet ut från skorstenar, som kan vara flera meter i diameter. Upptäckten av dessa heta källor för 30 år sedan var av stor betydelse för till exempel biologin: man hittade levande organismer vid skorstenarna. Dessa kan överleva trots det höga tryckeCirculation of hot hydrothermal fluids in fractures and faults of the oceanic crust is driven by temperature and pressure gradients. Fluid discharge is focused to vertical structures, black or white smoker chimneys on the seafloor. Hydrothermal vent temperatures should hypothetically be directly related to water depth. The boiling point of seawater increases with depth and ends at the critical poi
Following changes on a European level, there are plans to also in Sweden reduce the characteristic value of shear strength of glued-laminated timber. In Sweden, a decrease of approximately 30% from a characteristic value of 4.0 MPa (for glulam L40) to 2.5 or 3.0 MPa is planned. This would mean that wood would lose competitiveness against other construction materials such as steel and concrete. T
Chemical Management Services (CMS), an application of Product Service Systems (PSS) in the chemical sector, attempts to optimise chemical consumption patterns. CMS works by changing the fundamental relationship between chemical suppliers and chemical customers and providing incentives to both to reduce the quantity of chemicals used. CMS is gaining increasing popularity as a tool for cost savings
Title: Technology Scouting in China For identifying cost reduction and opportunities for innovation Authors: Tor Blomdell and Oscar Örtendahl Tutors: Bengt Järrehult – Adjunct professor, Department of Packaging Logistic, Lund Institute of Technology Sigvald Harryson – Associate professor, Institute of Economic Research, Lund School of Economics and Management Lars Sickert - Technology Analyst, Tec
Vibration injuries are the most common approved occupational diseaseamong men in Sweden. Vibration injuries often involves chronic nerve and vascular damage, reduced ability to work, and great personal suffering. In a project, newdesign solutions have reduced harmful vibrations for several hand-held machines.The machines were tested in demonstration environments in the construction,stone, and stee
Importance: Although highly effective disease-modifying therapies for multiple sclerosis (MS) have been associated with an increased risk of infections vs injectable therapies interferon beta and glatiramer acetate (GA), the magnitude of potential risk increase is not well established in real-world populations. Even less is known about infection risk associated with rituximab, which is extensively
It’s been known that checking of construction documents has become worse over time. There’s a lot to get done in a very short period of time and many therefore choose to do a sloppy checking or no checking at all. Checking of construction documents is done to ensure quality. Checking include both strength, building technics and technical drawing. External checking was the standard over 20 years ag
There are great challenges we have to face in the environmental and climate field, especially when greenhouse gas emissions are changing the conditions for human life and impacting biodiversity. The main reason resulting in climate change is greenhouse gas emissions during production and consumption of goods and services. The Green Public Procurement (hereafter GPP) acts as a powerful tool to reac
This master thesis in Sociology of Law explored the persistency of low-level corruption in post-communist Hungary. By adopting an anthropological approach 20 unstructured in-depth interviews were conducted in Hungarian language. The main focus of the research was on how law actually works. The collected material suggested that inadequate legislation supports informal economic transactions (“bad re
