The Swedish power grid is actively balanced in order to maintain the nominal frequency of 50 Hz. Today, this is mostly done through flexible power generation. Emerging markets, allowing consuming resources to participate in balancing the grid, have the potential to increase the stability of the grid. This master thesis aimed to investigate the consequences and possibilities of using variable air v
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain knowledge about baby boomers’ motivations for using either digital or analogue touchpoints in the high involvement customer journey. This ultimately contributes to an increased understanding of the high involvement customer journey. Methodology: A qualitative study with social constructionism as the research philosophy, where an abductive appro
As we’re living in a modern society, most of us have been connected to the water and electricity grid, However, there’re still billions of people who are still lack of reliable water and electricity resource. In some developing countries like India and Philippines, the demand for electricity and water are far more than actual production, which causes frequent electricity and water shortage problem
Japan continuously attempts to reinterpret war-renouncing Article 9 while at the same time stressing its devotion to pacifism, most recently through the Legislation for Peace and Security. The new Legislation allows Japan to engage in collective self-defense, which was considered unconstitutional for 70 years. This thesis examines Japan’s legitimization of such change, answering the question; how
Cross-functional teams and meetings are recurrent structuring tools in contemporary knowledge organisations. They are recommended as solutions to enhance innovation and creativity. Current research gathers a myriad of reference to the benefits of such tools, but studies of their potential negative effects remain limited. This paper is specifically concerned with the effect of interdisciplinary tea
The many-body problem in quantum mechanics always presents new challenges and ways to discover new properties of existing materials. The difficulty (if not the impossibility) to solve the many-body problem analytically makes the numerical methods an appealing approach. Here we consider a Python code, which is under development to become an open-source tool to perform studies of finite lattice syst
In this thesis, a new probabilistic risk assessment tool for road tunnels has been verified and validated. The verification and validation were performed along with a literature review to find different key variables that affect the risk in a road tunnel and find out how these variables can be handled. Examples of variables are heat release, ventilation mode and factors within evacuation modelling
According to the United Nations, half of humanity now lives in cities. In recent years, many countries have seen a rise in the number of and intensity of heavy rainfall events due to the effects of climate change. The consequences of urban flooding in such a context can vary between just causing mild discomfort to tremendous devastation. Building cities that can resist flood is quickly becoming an
This paper examines the ambiguous property rights in China and if they affect the private sector development. The indicators for property rights include both broader property rights and intellectual property rights. The property rights theory offers a perspective as a fundamental component of a market economy to enable a growth of private enterprises. The incentives and constraints offered by the
An experiment to study mirror symmetry in the mass A = 60 region was performed at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in 2020. The fusion-evaporation reaction 40Ca + 24Mg → 64Ge* at a beam energy of 106 MeV was used to populate excited states in 62Ge. The experimental setup used was made up of various detector systems, including Gammasphere for γ-ray detection, Microball in combination with two
The previous studies that mention Tagore and Gibran together have dealt merely with their lives or the influences they have had to one another. There has not been a comparative study of their works, say Gitanjali and The Prophet, with the focus on certain themes, such as love and longing. The prose-poems of Gibran and Tagore's songs have been influenced by Sufi poetry on the themes mentioned a
Tendons connect muscle to bone and assist in joint motion. To be able to do this, they must withstand large forces and be able to alter their structure under load. If a tendon experiences too high or sudden forces, it will start to tear and eventually rupture. To examine how this happens and how the tendon behaves before rupture, mechanical testing is done. This study focuses on how to combine mec
This thesis investigates a new type of Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) architecture which combines a phase/frequency detector (PFD) and a digital loop filter. The quantization is done by a time-to-digital converter which continuously shrinks the pulse coming from the PFD and registers how far it propagates. Based on how far into the TDC each pulse propagates, the phase error is determined. The design is f
The study focuses on the eco-design of sustainable packaging solutions for plant-based meat analogues, particularly plant-based burger patties. This is in response to the growing need for more sustainable dietary choices which can replace those of animal-based meat. Currently, most of the plant-based meat analog products in the market are packaged like meat products, which in turn are more sensiti
EMC is crucial when it comes to designing modern electronic systems, ensuring their functionality, reliability, and regulatory compliance amidst the ever-expanding electromagnetic landscape. This master's thesis delves into the domain of EMC by investigating the possibility of developing a Python-based proof-of-concept tool. The software tool is designed to analyze frequency spectra acquired f
We present a data-driven proof of concept model capable of reproducing expected counterparty credit exposures from market and trade data. The model has its greatest advantages in quick single-contract exposure evaluations that could be used in front office xVA solutions. The data was generated using short rates from the Hull-White One-Factor model. The best performance was obtained from a GRU neur
With the ambition to contribute to a sustainable development, this project started with aim to recycle fiber boards. The idea behind the project is to take lose fibers that come from waste product or simply just worn out fiber boards, and make them into new fiber boards. In order to achieve this, a binder is needed to hold the boards together. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate different binde
The food industry is facing challenges in responding to the climate crisis, and research highlights the potential of using Business Intelligence & Analytics for organizations sustainability efforts. The aim of this study is to holistically map through the affordance lens, what capabilities organizations in the food industry may potentially gain by using BI&A for sustainability. The study i
The aim of this Master's Thesis was to develop a standard for structural testing of implants to be used in transfemoral osseointegrated prostheses, since there is a lack of such standards for this type of implant. The methods used in this project include a literature study, a review of ISO standards, simulations of gait in a software called OpenSim, and a comparison of the OpenSim results with
The degree project described in this report also acts as a deliverable for a research project. The research project focuses on a new technique for the upgrading of biogas. This new technology uses a sterically hindered amine to absorb carbon dioxide from the biogas to raise its energy value. The amine used for this method is 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol or AMP. When absorb-ing carbon dioxide with t
