In solid mechanics, linear structures often exhibit (local) nonlinear behavior when close to failure. For instance, the elastic deformation of a structure becomes plastic after being deformed beyond recovery. To properly assess such problems in a real-life application, we need fast and multi-query evaluations of coupled linear and nonlinear structural systems, whose approximations are not straight

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology will continue playing an important role in beyond 5G wireless systems. Fully digital beamforming at the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum enables applications that require high data rates and low latency. This paper investigates the development and deployment of mmWave massive MIMO systems in an in-flight cabin environment, from both system

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förbränningsmotorer används på flera platser i samhället där energi behöver göras tillgänglig i form av mekaniskt arbete eller elektrisk energi. Den kanske mest kända tillämpningen är som kraftkälla i en personbil. Förbränningsmotorerna har givetvis ett antal fördelar som bidragit till deras popularitet och omfattande användning - lågt pris, kompakthet, driftsäkerhet ocCurrent combustion engines provide excellent performance for vehicle propulsion and power generation. However, recent demands from society ask for higher efficiencies and lower emissions. These requirements are hard to meet with current technology and call for new solutions. Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, HCCI, offers a potential to combine high efficiency with very low emissions. It op

In the bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials to ethanol, the cost of the raw material and the cost of the enzymes have been identified as the major costs for the product. In addition, many lignocellulosic materials contain considerable amounts of five-carbon sugars which are not easily fermented to ethanol. The possibility of improving the cost-intensive steps was investigated. The steam pre

The dissertation is confined to the formal work of the boards of the parent companies as recorded in the approved minutes of meetings at Alfa Laval AB, Atlas Copco AB and Kockums Mekaniska Verkstads AB and is based on the Companies Law applying in Sweden since 1848. The study covers the time from the establishment of the joint stock company up to the ordinary general meeting of 1980 (1979 in the c

PURPOSE Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is diagnosed at the metastatic stage, and despite extensive diagnostic work-up, the primary tumor often remains unidentified. No data are available on familial clustering of CUP. We hypothesize that familial clustering of CUP with other cancers may be informative of the primary sites. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 35,168 patients with CUP were identified i

Information and communication technology has emerged significantly over the past two decades. The ever-growing trade and monetization of digital encounters are likely to extend technology even more in the upcoming decades. Recent technological developments have brought various advantages worldwide, such as effective communication, increased production, and artificial intelligence, which can solve

In the background of intensifying global climate change and rapid urbanisation, the frequent occurrence of extreme hydrological events and the increase in surface pollution pose serious challenges to the environmental quality of water bodies. Moreover, with the significant increase in public awareness of environmental protection, higher demands have been placed on water quality monitoring techniqu

Det har länge diskuterats om klimatförändringen som ett symptom på förhöjda utsläpp av växthusgaser orsakar några effekter. Ett resultat av årtionden av ökade växthusgasutsläpp är nu att effekterna av klimatförändringen kraftigt visar sig. Varmare väder, oregelbundet regn och kraftigare stormar är bara några exempel på effekterna som utsläpp av växthusgaser orsakar. När en individ får sin fastigheClimate change has been an issue for a long time. However, it is only in recent years that the effects have been highlighted, resulting in a discussion about climate change liability. Warmer weather, irregular rain patterns and more extreme weather are just some of the effects of climate change. What does an individual do when their property is swept away by a sudden flash surge? Naturally, they w

Microfluidic devices have so far not seen widespread use, even though they could potentially be cheaper, better and faster than traditional methods. A possible reason for this is the lack of a middle step between one-of-a-kind experimental devices and cheap mass produced devices. With ongoing improvements in resolution it is starting to look possible that 3D-printing will fill this role. This the

Thanks to the rapid development in areas such as artificial intelligence companies now have the possibility to collect and analyze data to improve their business. These algorithms quickly result in large volumes of data, which are to be processed and understood by humans. The stakeholder for this project, IKEA, cannot keep track of all data relations in their sales patterns by using regular tables

Although that the textile-industry is considered the world’s second most climate affecting industry, consumption seems to never cease. The Swedish start-up project Streamateria provides new opportunities through a distributed production-line that offers bio-degradable garments through 3D-printing technology, with the ambition to meet consumer demand for "fast fashion" The aim of the stu

Bevisföringen i svensk rätt förutsätter muntlighet, omedelbarhet och koncentration och har gjort det sedan den nya Rättegångsbalkens ikraftträdande på mitten av 1900-talet. Principerna har ansetts som förutsättningar för den fria bevisvärderingen och kan på många sätt förklaras som reaktioner på den tidigare gällande processordningen i Sverige. Brottmålsförfarandet delades med den nya RättegångsbaThe submission of evidence in Swedish law presupposes orality, momentum and concision and has done so since the new Code of Conduct entered into force in the mid-20th century. The principles have been considered as conditions for the free assessment of evidence and can in many ways be explained as reactions to the previous procedural system in Sweden. The criminal procedure was earlier divided int

This study aims to describe the structure of land management in Kosovo, and existing issues with the current urban planning strategy in the country. The land is currently utilized to the best extent when developing the urban area and the system seems to move toward more necessary controls. Two specific factors have been recognized as influencing the urban planning process. One is illegal buildings

Svensk strafflagstiftning särbehandlar unga lagöverträdare mellan 15 och 21 år vid både straffmätning och i val av påföljd. I uppsatsen beskrivs hur dagens ordning har vuxit fram sedan införandet av strafflagen 1864: dels genom att redovisa förändringarna i den positiva rätten, dels genom att analysera de straffteoretiska motiven bakom förändringarna. Den historiska utvecklingen ligger sedan till Young offenders between the ages of 15 and 21 are treated differently compared to adults in the Swedish penal system. They get their sanction reduced and can be subject to other kinds of sanctions. This essay examines how the penal system for young offenders has developed since 1864: both by describing the changes of the positive law and by analysing the influence from different penal theories. Th

One way to make a UV curable ink is to mix a pigment dispersion with monomers, oligomers, photoinitiators and additives. Creating a pigment dispersion is in many cases the first processing step of making a UV curable ink and is of large importance. To process pigment dispersions of Pigment red 2 and Pigment red 122 a premixing step with a dissolver is used followed by a grinding step employing a t
