Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC) has shown its potential by combining high combustion controllability with emission characteristics that are close to those of an HCCI engine. In order to get PPC the ignition delay needs to be long enough for the fuel and air to mix prior to combustion. This can be achieved by injecting the fuel sufficiently early while running with high EGR.In order to find outPartially Premixed Combustion (PPC) has shown its potential by combining high combustion controllability with emission characteristics that are close to those of an HCCI engine.

Accurate seasonal forecasting of cereal yields is an important decision support tool for countries, such as Morocco, that are not self-sufficient in order to predict, as early as possible, importation needs. This study aims to develop an early forecasting model of cereal yields (soft wheat, barley and durum wheat) at the scale of the agricultural province considering the 15 most productive over 20

Despite various ongoing international initiatives, the intensity and frequency of weather-related natural hazards is expected to continue to increase globally. Increasing our understanding of how to mitigate the consequences of such natural hazards through better detection, planning and preparedness, has constituted the overarching objective of this thesis.

Background To benefit from the increasing clinical evidence, organisational changes have been among the main drivers behind the reduction of ICU mortality during the last decade. Increasing demand, costs and complexity, amplifies the need for optimisation of clinical processes and resource utilisation. Thus, multidisciplinary teamwork and critical care processes needs to be adapted to profit from

To date, research on warehouse order-batching has been limited by reliance on rigid assumptions regarding rack layouts. Although efficient optimization algorithms have been provided for conventional warehouse layouts with Manhattan style blocks of racks, they are limited in that they fail to generalize to unconventional layouts. This paper builds on a generalized procedure for digitization of ware

This study examines the streetlife of London at the end of the nineteenth century from the perspective of behaviour and practice. In reaction to the large number of works on the Victorian city based on a study of literary sources, this thesis takes the approach of analysing social interaction in the street. The focus of the book is the relationship between police constables and civilians in the st

Gräsrotsfinansiering är en finansieringsform som växer i omfattning och popularitet. Kortfattat handlar det om att bolag söker kapital från den stora massan istället för de mer traditionella källorna. Det finns flera varianter av gräsrotsfinansiering, den som vållar de största juridiska spörsmålen är den delägarbaserade varianten. Denna innebär att investerare erbjuds aktier eller andra värdepappeCrowdfunding is a form of financing that grows in scope and popularity. In short, it is about companies seeking capital from the crowd instead of the more traditional sources. There are several different forms of crowdfunding. The one who mainly causes the legal questions is the equity form. This means that companies offer shares or other securities in, usually private, limited liability companies

Genom en intern revision och en analys av vad som behöver göras fick ett företag hjälp med att uppdatera sitt miljöledningssystem inför en kommande certifiering Fler och fler blir mer medvetna om människans påverkan på miljön och många gör sitt bästa för att minska sitt eget negativa avtryck, detta gäller inte minst för företag och organisationer. Det är vanligt att man som företag gör detta genoThe interest in sustainability is increasing in the society. In order to work systematically with the environmental issues, a lot of companies use management systems such as ISO 14001. This standard has recently been updated and includes many new demands which means that a lot of changes need to be managed at the companies that use the system. Thus, these companies must get a new certificate. In o

De senaste åren har den svenska sockerkonsumtionen debatterats flitigt i media. Att Sverige skulle införa en sockerskatt för att minska den höga konsumtionen har föreslagits av såväl akademiker som politiker. Trots att ett införande av en svensk sockerskatt har föreslagits i en rad riksdagsmotioner, har dessa avslagits gång på gång. Debatten har trots detta fortsatt, och att den till slut kommer uIn the past few years the high sugar consumption has been a concern in Sweden as well as world wide because of the health problems it may lead to. As a result of the increased sugar consumption, some countries have introduced a tax on sugar to reduce the consumption. In Sweden there is an ongoing debate concerning a possible introduction of this kind of tax, but the Swedish tax committee has rejec

The proposed evaluation process concluded with providing some suggestions for the stockyard that helps S:t Eriks Staffanstorp to work in a more time efficient way, to achieve a better customer service related to shipping times. The solution is divided into two different ideas: storing according the ABC analysis assigning the areas close to the shipping area the A products, and the second one is fo

This study aims to understand president Duterte’s ’war on drugs’ through human security theory. In order to achieve an analytical framework for human security, two of its subcategories have been used as a theoretical entrance: personal and political security. The study consists of a single case study with an understanding approach to the phenomenon of the Philippine drug war through human security

En ny anställningsform som växt fram i digitaliseringens fotspår är arbete som utförs via digitala plattformar. Plattformsarbete är en del av en större pågående strukturell förändring, nämligen flexibiliseringen av arbetsmarknaden. Denna strukturella förändring gör att den nuvarande gränsen mellan arbetstagare och uppdragstagare suddas ut. Begreppet arbetstagare anger gränserna för arbetslagstiftnWork supplied through digital platforms is a new form of employment that has emerged in the course of digitalization. Platform work is part of a bigger ongoing structural shift, namely the flexibilisation of working life. This structural shift blurs out the distinction between an employee and a self-employed worker. The personal scope of Swedish labor law is defined by use of the notion of employe

Under de senaste årtiondena har det i norra Europa och Nordamerika rapporterats om att sjöar och vattendrag blir allt brunare. Den bruna färgen kommer från naturligt organiskt material (NOM), vilket är material från döda djur och växtdelar, som transporterats med vattnet från intilliggande skog och mark. Denna ”brunifiering”, som den också kallas, tros bland annat kunna vara ett resultat av de pågDuring the last decades, increased concentrations of natural organic matter (NOM) and colour of surface waters have been reported from northern Europe and North America. Since surface waters are widely used for drinking water production this development has been problematic for drinking water producers. Even though NOM in itself is not harmful, it can cause production of undesirable disinfection b

For many years, critics of the European Union copyright framework have raised concerns about the lack of legal recognition of exceptions and limitations to copyright-protected works and other protected subject matter, and argued that the European Union copyright framework favours the protection of intellectual property over fundamental rights. The debate about this imbalance reached new heights wh
