The purpose of this Master's Thesis was to compare and coordinate active chassis systems in a search for new ways of controlling two driving situations; side wind exposure and split friction braking. These situations were to be mastered by three active systems; active steering, brakes and suspension. Examples of how to use the systems were presented for each driving situation. The results from
A wheel loader is a tractor-like universal working machine with a bucket in the front which can be used for digging, loading and transporting different type of material. A driver of such a vehicle needs a lot of training and experience before he can handle the vehicle in a safe and efficient way. In order to reduce these demands on the driver, the vehicle should be made more autonomous. As a first
Using data from the 2007 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), this research uses a logistic probability model to determine the associations between maternal characteristics, such as the exposure to physical domestic violence and low women’s status, and the risk of develop problems of malnutrition in children under 5 years. Using anthropometric indicators of malnutrition such as stuntin
After the formation of the European Union internal market in 1992, member state specific obstacles and barriers were largely removed. This was especially the case in harmonised industries where standardisation and technical regulation have led to legal certainty. Despite this, a large range of trade regulation continues to remain distortional to trade, in addition to the ongoing tariffs and subsid
We apply the resummed version of the Luscher formula to analyze finite volume corrections to the mass of the nucleon and of heavy mesons. We show that by applying the subthreshold expansion of the scattering amplitudes one can express the finite volume corrections in terms of only a few physical observables and the size of the box. In the case of the nucleon, the available information about the qu
The renal cell carcinomas (RCC) denote a diverse set of neoplasias with unique genetic and histological features. The RCCs emanate from the renal tubule, a highly heterogeneous epithelial structure, and depending on which cell is malignified the resulting cancer displays unique characteristics. Notwithstanding this, the cells of origin for the RCC forms are far from established, and only inferred
For monotone systems evolving on the positive orthant, two types of Lyapunov functions are considered: Sum- and max-separable Lyapunov functions. One can be written as a sum, the other as a maximum of functions of scalar arguments. Several constructive existence results for both types are given. Notably, one construction provides a max-separable Lyapunov function that is defined at least on an arb
This work develops a scattering and an inverse scattering theory for the Sturm-Liouville equation u '' qu = lambda wu where w may change sign but q >= 0. Thus the left-hand side of the equation gives rise to a positive quadratic form and one is led to a left-definite spectral problem. The crucial ingredient of the approach is a generalized transform built on the Jost solutions of the problem and h
This introductory article situates the contributions that comprise this special issue within the field of sustainable consumption and production (SCP) studies. After a brief review of the policy history surrounding SCP, we organize our discussion and the subsequent collection of articles into two groups. The first suite of articles views the environmental impacts associated with household consumpt
We consider a class of pseudodifferential operators with a doubly characteristic point, where the quadratic part of the symbol fails to be elliptic but obeys an averaging assumption. Under suitable additional assumptions, semiclassical resolvent estimates are established, where the modulus of the spectral parameter is allowed to grow slightly more rapidly than the semiclassical parameter.
Parkinson disease (PD) is characterized by loss of the A9 nigral neurons that provide dopaminergic innervation to the striatum. This discovery led to the successful instigation of dopaminergic drug treatments in the 1960s, although these drugs were soon recognized to lose some of their efficacy and generate their own adverse effects over time. Despite the fact that PD is now known to have extensiv
Palaeomagnetic analysis of the Lakhna Dykes (Bastar Craton, India) yields a palaeopole at 36.6 degrees N, 132.8 degrees E, dp=12.4 degrees, dm=15.9 degrees, and the U-Pb zircon age obtained from one of the rhyolitic dykes is 1466.4 +/- 2.6 Ma (MSWD = 0.21, concordia age based on two analyses with identical Pb/U ages), similar to previously published U-Pb ages. Major and trace element analyses of t
This report titled Best available technologies and techniques for large point sources has been prepared within the framework of the programme on Regional Air Pollution in Developing Countries (RAPIDC), Phase III conducted during the period 2005-2008. RAPIDC is funded by the Department of Infrastructure and Economic Cooperation (INEC) of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency SIDA
Using accurate correlated wave functions calculated earlier by Bunge and by Larsson, we have constructed the Hohenberg-Kohn-Sham density functionals and exchange-correlation (ground-state) potentials and have obtained orbital energy eigenvalues for a number of light atoms by in principle exact numerical algorithms. While the uppermost occupied density-functional eigenvalue always gives an exact ex
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vetskap om strömning av vätskor och gaser är viktigt i dagens samhälle, vilket inkluderar transport i rör, förbränning, och flödesinducerade vibrationer. På grund av sin flyktiga form är möjligheten att kontrollera flöden i diverse applikationer begränsad. Strömning kan vara väldigt svårt att beskriva och kategorisera, speciellt då höga hastigheter är inblandade. HastigThis thesis presents the utilization of two different decomposition techniques, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), for enhanced understanding of flow structures and their stability. The advantages of these techniques are shown for a range of flow situations, most of which are turbulent. It is shown that by these methods additional insight into complex flow
