In multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO), the complexity of the base-station scheduler has increased further compared to single-user multiple input multiple output (SU-MIMO). The scheduler must understand if several users can be spatially multiplexed in the same time-frequency resource. One way to spatially separate users is through beamforming with sufficiently many antennas. In thi

Personalised nutrition is a concept which include dietary advice developed according to an individual’s needs and preferences. This by the usage of information regarding an individual’s lifestyle choices as well as of dietary, phenotypic and genotyping information. Scientists have had high expectations regarding personalised nutrition’s ability to optimise health and prevent and treat diseases. Ho

In the EU, climate policy-making takes place in a complex environment, where multiple climate and energy policy instruments co-exist and interact together. Interactions between different climate and energy instruments can affect - positively or negatively - the achievement of the climate targets. However, the performance of instruments is often evaluated without taking into account those interacti

Green energy defaults (where the uptake of renewable energy is promoted among households by opt-out tariffs) are gaining increasing interest with policy makers, due to the high enrolment rates shown in (experimental) studies. Such default choices are often justified on normative and behavioural grounds as although consumers express a desire and willingness to pay for green energy, they often fail

C-H activation with transition metal catalysts is one the most intense areas of research today and new advancements aid in the production of bulk chemicals, simplifying synthetic routes and transforming inert substrates into functionalized ones. By attempting to synthesize two N- heterocyclic palladium complexes (1 and 2, complex 3 is received) heterogenous, ligand- directed halogenation of substr

This thesis addresses the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in the context of two case studies on HEXPOL AB and Nolato AB. Findings suggest that companies with an advanced approach to sustainability usually have already implemented the SBTi. Therefore, for these companies, implementation of this initiative does not result in major internal or external changes. The interviews suggest that imp

Denna uppsats kommer studera prisspridningen på elbolagsmarknaden och syftet är att se om antalet elbolag påverkar prisspridningen. Enligt de sökkostnadsteorier som tas upp här kommer prisspridningen uppstå som ett resultat av att konsumenter har en positiv sökkostnad. Då sökkostnaden går mot noll borde priserna konvergera. Sökkostnadsteorier skiljer sig åt gällande effekten av ett ökat antal före

Purpose: The Catalyst TM is a non-ionizing and non-invasive optical scanning system that has attractive features for patient setup and monitoring, as well as for respiratory gating during, radiotherapy treatments. In this study, the conventional laser based setup was compared with the surface based setup by the CatalystTM. A new non-rigid algorithm was used taking the whole planning target volume 60 00 cancerfall rapporteras in varje år till socialstyrelsen men där numera fler än hälften botas. Detta eftersom vi blir skickligare inom området och nya behandlingstekniker utvecklas. Rektalcancer, även kallat ändtarmscancer är en cancerform som ökat under de senaste decennierna. Behandling av patienter med rektalcancer varierar beroende på var och i vilket stadie tumören befinner sig i. Oftast

Can there be causation between actual and non-actual states of affairs? To me it seems so, but few modal theories seem to be able to handle the question. I present and compare two theories of modality: David Lewis' modal realism and Alvin Plantinga's abstractionist theory of modality. None of the theories can give a perfect answer, but while Lewis' theory simply make such causal relati

Denna rapport avser en stabilitetsanalys för att undersöka möjligheten att bygga en kupol i trä med en spännvidd på 300 meter. Alla lastbärande delar har modellerats med limträ av klassen GL30c och med dimensionerna 0.8×1.6 m2. Lastfallen valdes till 2 kN/m2 respektive 4 kN/m2 för symmetriska och asymmetriska snölaster. De numeriska beräkningarna utfördes i finita element-mjukvaran Abaqus FEA och The aim of this thesis is to study the feasibility of building a timber dome with a span of 300 metres, concerning elastic stability. The load-bearing members were modelled with the properties of glued laminated timber GL30c with the dimensions 0.8×1.6 m2. The design loads were 2 kN/m2 and 4 kN/m2 in symmetrical and asymmetrical load cases, respectively. The numerical calculations were performed u

This thesis evaluates the concept of characterization process of ultra-high vacuum system, known as SEA5 Serial Expansion Apparatus at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden. To produce precisely known pressures in the medium, high, and ultra-high vacuum range for gauge calibrations, the volume expansion system is often used for that purpose. There are different methods to determine the volume or the

Buildings that are built and the asphalt that is used for the paving needs to be tested to see if they fulfill certain requirements and standards. These types of tests are performed at Peab’s technology centers/laboratories and it is in one of their labs in Helsingborg that the degree project has been executed. As soon as the laboratory gets a concrete sample, they are supposed to register it in t

The passing of Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej on October 13, 2016 marked a significant turning point in modern Thai history. As the world’s longest-reigning monarch, King Bhumibol had been much loved and revered as the country’s father figure for 70 years. In the wake of his demise, it seemed to be that every corner of Thailand was packed with emotions that also came with an array of cultural

It is important to examine parent advocacy programs to understand how they function in a society where there are many structural obstacles to those with little power. These programs can provide an impactful way to level out power imbalances. This case study examined through a lens of legal consciousness theory, power and empowerment theory, and the four capitals as developed by Bourdieu, the pur

The dominant food system is unable to guarantee food security for 11% of the global population and hasn't solved problems of hunger, malnutrition, and obesity on the one hand side, while it also contributes fundamentally to the degradation of natural resources and makes living in a safe operating space for humankind increasingly unlikely. A transformational reform of the food system enabling i

In colour polymorphic species the different morphs have discrete coloration and are typically correlated with particular phenotypic traits. In P.muralis the two evolutionary forces that maintain polymorphism has been suggested to be natural and sexual selection. Establishing the phylogenetic and geographic distribution of polymorphism is an important step to reveal if and how these selective proce

The paper analyses data from the “Forbes World Billionaires List” from 1996 to 2015. Decomposing the sample finds, that inherited wealth exhibits higher levels of inequality than self-made wealth. Overall inequality decreases and the inequality level of the self-made subgroup converges to the one of inherited wealth. In addition, self-made billionaires also experience higher social mobility.

Kraven som ställs på dagens samhällen är stora. Infrastrukturmässiga förändringar såsom stadsförtätningar och bebyggelser av bostäder på tidigare otänkbara platser påskyndas av en ökad befolkningsmängd samt en pågående urbanisering. Miljömässiga förändringar har även drivit frågan om en utökad och effektiviserad spårtrafik framåt. Anpassningar såsom dessa har ökat behovet av kunskap om anläggningeMany construction projects, entail excavations into water-bearing soils. As a consequence of this a groundwater lowering must be made which can cause major environmental impacts, such as drainage of adjacent rivers or wetlands or subsidence of adjacent buildings. The groundwater that flows into the excavation is also of importance since it determines the volume of water that has to be pumped away
