Due to increasing global energy demands and a need to move away from non-renewable energy sources, green hydrogen is now being considered as a possible replacement for fossil-based energy sources. Especially in “hard-to-abate” sectors, such as steel and petrochemical production, and long-distance transport, where the change to renewable electricity is more difficult. Green hydrogen is produced thr
The electricity demand in Sweden is expected to double between 2022 and 2035 and the majority of the new electricity is expected to come from wind energy. As intermittent energy increases, so does the need for energy storage that can balance the supply and demand for energy. Batteries can offer short-term energy storage and their fast response time enables them to offer ancillary services on shor

Current rehabilitation methods lack the capacity to objectively measure post-fracture wrist function. Proprioception, the awareness of the body in space, is crucial for wrist function but remains challengi
Abstract in Undetermined Assume that in periods with stochastic demand remain until the next replenishment arrives at a central warehouse. How should the available inventory be allocated among N retailers? This paper presents a new policy and a new lower bound for the expected cost of this problem. The lower bound becomes tight as N -> infinity. The infinite horizon problem then decomposes into N
To keep a high standard of the golf courses intensive maintenance work might be required. To avoid weeds, fungi and diseases on the courses almost half of all golf clubs in Sweden use chemical pesticides. Because of the toxic nature of the the substances it may cause negative impacts on the environment which makes it important to reduce or stop entirely with the use of chemical pesticides. This st

Studies of decision-making have shown that attitudes can be influenced by choices. One way in which to study these types of attitude changes can be through the choice blindness paradigm. Choice blindness is the well documented finding that people may both fail to notice that the outcome of a choice does not correspond to what was intended, and at the same time construct coherent arguments in suppo
