This thesis covers different topics related to the application of pseudospectral optimization methods in the field of automatic control. Pseudospectral optimization methods solve dynamic optimization problems by discretizing the state-space, creating a discretized version of a continuous problem. The resulting discretized optimization problems are solved by standard software for nonlinear optimiza
Popular Abstract in Swedish Många material som ingår i tillverkade varor har kvar sina kvaliteter även när varorna är uttjänta. Men bara en liten del av dessa material återvinns idag på ett sätt som gör det möjligt att återanvända materialet för samma syfte och med bevarade egenskaper. I allmänhet har det industriella samhället fortsatt att praktisera en slit- och slängmentalitet, trots att det be
This book explores the need to develop business strategies, organise and fund transformation projects and manage the transformation programme in order to further a circular economy. Circular Business Models outlines sustainable business models that can be used by companies to move transformation forward on a large scale. In addition to business models the book will cover and discuss a number of ot
Title: Destination branding through local food products: The case of Südtirol / Alto Adige Date of the Seminar: 4th of June 2020 Course: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Florian Felder & Edoardo Macelloni Supervisor: Tommy Shih Keywords: Destination branding, food tourism, inverse country of origin, stakeholder collaboration, Südtirol / Alto Adige Thesis purpose: The pu
In this work, we propose a novel method for interpolation and extrapolation of Toeplitz structured covariance matrices. By considering a spectral representation of Toeplitz matrices, we use an optimal mass transport problem in the spectral domain in order to define a notion of distance between such matrices. The obtained optimal transport plan naturally induces a way of interpolating, as well as e
There existed a great ambivalence concerning masculinity and its relationship to religion in the decades around the last turn of the century. The historical encoding process of religion, from gender neutral to feminine, have in general been interpreted as something solely negative for the constitution of masculinity during this period. Consequently, religious encoded masculinities have been deemed
Popular Abstract in Swedish SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA (Swedish summary) Ultraljud används sedan 1970-talet rutinmässigt under graviditet. Undersökningen görs vanligen vid 17-18 graviditetsveckor och syftet med undersökningen är att datera graviditeten dvs bestämma tiden för beräknad förlossning. Man upptäcker också eventuella tvillingar vid denna undersökning. Redan tidigt visade det sig att visWe studied the prenatal detection rate of various malformations during a study period of 16 years in a population in southern Sweden consisting of 141 240 deliveries. The overall detection rate was 28.4% and the false positive diagnoses were very few. We studied the effect of prenatal diagnosis on the rate of spina bifida in southern Sweden compared with the rest of the country and could show tha
During south Scandinavian Late Bronze Age, c. 900-500 BC, a new tool was invented. It consisted of a wooden shaft and a knife blade made out of flint. One singel of this tool still exists today. It was found in a Danish bog in late 19th century. But there are many of the knife blades of flint; in museum collections or in flint assemblages from archaeological excavations. Archaeologists call them l
Popular Abstract in Swedish Mai Zetterling (1925-1994) var under fyrtiotalet skådespelare, både på Dramatens scen och i populära svenska filmer. Under sextiotalet regisserade hon fyra långfilmer. Dessa filmer ? Älskande par (1964), Nattlek (1966), Flickorna (1968) och Dr. Glas (1969) ? bemöttes emellertid allt mer negativt av de svenska filmkritikerna. Under återstoden av sitt liv regisserade ZettMai Zetterling (1925-1994) was a popular actress in the 1940s. In the 1960s, she directed four feature films. The films ? Loving Couples (1964), Night Games (1966), The Girls (1968) and Dr. Glas (1969) ? were met with increasing hostility by Swedish critics, however, and after the 1960s, Mai Zetterling only directed two more feature films in her life, the British Scrubbers (1982) and the Swedish A
A dual-band CMOS front-end was designed and fabricated in a 0.18 μm CMOS process. The front-end employs a common-gate low noise amplifier (LNA) with capacitive cross coupling (CCC) technique and a passive mixer. The band selection is performed by switching a capacitor in and out of the LNA load, changing the resonance frequency between 2.2GHz and 4.0GHz. The measured noise figure is below 3.5dB fo
With the development of the society and the times, traditional parametric design methods are witnessing a severe challenge due to the more and more complex physical systems. Thus, developing novel parametric analysis methods is very important for dealing with complex physical systems, refining useful parameters from numerous data, and proposing accurate prediction formulas. A spring slider system,
Diagnostic reference levels are the main and the most effective tools of optimization of the radiation protection of patients from medical exposure. Diagnostic reference levels should be established based on theresults of dedicated dose surveys, allowing evaluating typical patient dose distributions in a selected dose quantity for the selected X-ray examinations. The aim of the current study was t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Från skärva till kärl fokuserar på ett arkeologiskt massmaterial, en materialkategori som är särskilt vanlig framför andra bland de arkeologiska fynden. Skärvor är fragment av keramiska kärl och analysen kommer att färdas från det lilla till det något större - från skärva till kärl. I centrum återfinns de kärl som varit i bruk i Uppsala från 1100-talets mitt till 1700-tAbstract From Sherd to Pot. A Contribution to the History of Everyday Life in Uppsala tackles the question: how is the culturally created reality produced, fixed, and changed, and how can this be related to the social structure as a whole? The hypothesis is that changes in society result in new cultural patterns which can be read in objects. The work consists of three main parts, an extensive summ
Introduction. Along with the great expansion of research being published in Open Access (OA) journals over the last decade, the interest for analysing the OA literature using informetric methods has also increased. Most studies have focused on the citation impact of OA journals and whether OA publishing increases the chances of a research publication being cited. Fewer analyses, however, have inve
We present a qualitative physical model of the origin of two very brightUV lines of Fe II at 2507-2509 Å, present in high-resolutionspectra of gaseous condensations (blobs) close to the central star ofeta Carinae. The spectra have been obtained with the Hubble SpaceTelescope (HST). The model is based on a type of Bowen mechanism withselective photoexcitation of Fe II by a broad HLyalpha profile,ge
This paper analyzes the process of industrial diversification in the countries that were part of the European Union (EU-27) and those that were the target of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) in the period 1995–2010 by means of world trade data derived from the BACI database (elaborated UN Comtrade data). Our results show that in both the EU-27 and the ENP countries, the evolution of the pro
Partially premixed combustion (PPC) in internal combustion engine as a low temperature combustion strategy has shown great potential to achieve high thermodynamic efficiency. Methanol due to its unique properties is considered as a preferable PPC engine fuel. The injection timing to achieve methanol PPC conditions should be set very close to TDC, allowing to utilize spray-bowl interaction to furth
The process ${⤪ e}^{+}{⤪ e}^{-}⌝ghtarrow {⤪ W}^{+}{⤪ W}^{-}⌝ghtarrow {⤪ f}_{1}{⩈erline {⤪ f}}_{2}{⤪ f}_{3}{⩈erline {⤪ f}}_{4}$ contains charges in the initial, intermediate and final stages. This gives a rich selection of possible QED interconnection effects. Coulomb interaction is the simplest of these, and can thus be used to explore consequences. We study a number of experimental observables, w
This paper aims to describe the reasons why abnormal heat transfer occurs under the condition of regenerative cooling applied in scramjet engines. Supercritical n-decane flowing in a horizontal tube under various mass flow rates (G = 0.001, 0.002, 0.003, 0.004 kg/s) and heat fluxes (qw = 100, 200, 300, 400 kW/m2) is investigated by numerical simulations. The mechanisms of the abnormal heat transfe
