The conclusion is that the pilot in a Viggen has to be evacuated with
The aim of this project was to develop a model that can be used during fire inspections to measure the quality of the fire safety in a building. The model was created by using method for Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM). Ten factors were identified, each of them contributing to the total fire safety in a building. Each factor was given a weight to specifiy its importance to the fire safet

Parallel kinematik machines are nowadays an important branch of investigation in the robotics field. Its design allows for high speeds, accelerations and tool forces as well as makes them ideals for faster cycle times and high repeatability works. TAU is a parallel kinematic machine from ABB Company with three degrees of freedom. Therefore, it can be positioned anywhere of the workspace but not or
Den här uppsatsen undersöker de positiva och negativa effekter en subventionering av utbildning framkallar i en ekonomi. En investering i humankapitalet är en viktig del av produktionen och påverkar därmed inkomstnivåerna i positiv riktning. Samtidigt ger subventioneringen upphov till kostnader som kan påverka produktionen negativt och förorsaka låga initiala inkomster, lägre konsumtion och lägre
