Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det var en gång... historien om en vulkan. The Dunedin Volcano är belägen utmed östkusten på Nya Zeelands södra ö. Stora delar av både östkusten och de centrala delarna har under de senaste 40 miljoner åren upplevt perioder med intra platt vulkanism orsakad av en temperatur anomali i övre manteln under både Nya Zeelands Sydö och delar av havet öster om. VulkaneThe Portobello Peninsula is made up by volcanic sediments, lava flows and numerous dikes. Deposition of sediments and lava flows is thought be early in the evolution of the Dunedin Volcano. The lava flows of Portobello Peninsula are silica saturated, belonging to a lineage differing from the two major lineages previously inferred to exist in the volcano (Coombs and Wilkinson, 1969). This new linea

Over a 15-year period, mobile phones have evolved from providing one single feature - the mobile voice call - to multi-featured multi-media communication and entertainment devices. Customer value has been added through successive integration of features previously conveyed by dedicated devices, as clock, timer, camera, media player, radio, etc. This continued integration strategy now poses several

Vi har studerat kundmöten i flygbranschen eftersom det är en industri som efter 11 september drabbats hårt av både rädsla för terrorn och den ihållande lågkonjunkturen. Företag som tidigare har betalat dyra biljetter för att skicka sina chefer runt om i världen, har omvärderat deras tidigare självklara rätt att flyga businessclass.

Nowadays, one of the most challenging problems in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is to make robots able to understand humans to successfully accomplish tasks in human environments. HRI has a very different role in all the robotics fields. While autonomous robots do not require a complex HRI system, it is of vital importance for service robots. The goal of this thesis is to study if behavioural pa
