With increasing pressure to get rid of the world’s dependence on fossil fuels to reach the world’s climate goals, the use of alternative fuels for propulsion are needed. This is a challenge for the maritime industry, where ferries have good properties to become renewable by the usage of batteries. Their routes are mostly fixed routes and with good infrastructure established at each stop, fully bat
NMDA receptors are part of the family iGluRs that regulate the flow of positive ions, such as Na+, K+ and Ca2+, by ligand gating. Upon activation with Glutamate, the channel opens, and a flowthrough of ions occurs. NMDA receptors are unique in that they require the co-agonist glycine for activation and that they exhibit voltage-dependent ion flow due to Mg2+ blockade. The NMDA receptors have three
The telecom industry falls among one of the most progressive markets that operates at the level of advanced technologies and has the fastest rate of growth all over the world, including from the perspective of 5G technology, the integration of digital products, and the constant increase in demand for broadband internet. In such a competitive environment, customer attrition has been known to be a m
The aim of this project is to explore the tiled stove as a historical everyday object and examine its potential influence on contemporary design. The project further investigates direct heating using infrared panels. The result is a fusion of tradition and innovation, combining the material and visual qualities of tiled stoves with contemporary heating technology. The final design consists of tw
The use of technology, specifically machine learning, to address complex issues in developing regions has become increasingly prominent. In the context of wildlife conservation, combating poaching has emerged as a significant application of such technology. This research project aims to develop machine-learning-based low-cost antipoaching solutions. It presents three case studies, each exploring a
Climate change is a long-term challenge that requires urgent actions. An increased amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing changes in the climate system such as melting glaciers and extreme weather conditions, are correlated to economic growth. To mitigate climate change, there is a need to evolve efficient strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from companies within all branc
The thesis introduces a range of communication protocols used to implementing smart homes currently available on the market. Two protocols are chosen and theoretically analysed in depth. The analysis both describes how the protocols works and describes the measures taken in order to protect it against attacks from third parties. The theoretical evaluation analyses how susceptible the protocols are
Direct Fastening tools are popular for quick fastenings in concrete and steel by propelling the nail with gun powder, gas or electricity. Because of this the users hand needs to absorb a shock caused by the recoil when a setting is performed. The link between the recoil and its effect on the user is essentially unexplored. This makes it hard to design an optimum handle for a direct fastening tool
In this thesis we show that the best forecast for near future yield curves are performed with a full specication of our chosen model and for far future yield curves the forecast is better with a partial specication of the model. We conclude that the driving factors for the banks' yield curves are not as closely related to Swedbank's as amongst the other peers which show that Swedbank stand
This thesis project was completed in collaboration with Arjo, a MedTech company headquartered in Malmö, Sweden. Arjo’s product offering is largely centered around providing healthier outcomes for individuals with limited mobility and includes products for patient transfer, hygiene, disinfection, etc. One product type which is central to Arjo’s mission is the hygiene chair. This type of product is
This thesis examines Swedish bilateral imports between 1860 to 1913 to assess Sweden’s 1888 shift from free trade to protectionism on Swedish bilateral imports while also exploring the Swedish Norwegian free trade agreement known as Mellanrikslagen during this period. This is approached using Difference in Differences and an event study within a gravity framework. The gravity methodology is co
With the rapid advancement of urban renewal and the shift toward sustainable development, the integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and industrial heritage preservation has become a key strategy in revitalizing post-industrial cities. Rather than viewing industrial heritage sites as obsolete, new approaches now emphasize their adaptive reuse within the framework of transit-accessible,
In paediatric hospital wards, parents or caregivers who are physically capable are already present with their child when a fire emergency occurs. Yet existing approaches to hospital evacuation have either overlooked their potential role or treated them as additional occupants for staff to manage. If these caregivers could evacuate independently with their child, staff could direct their efforts to
Producing syngas with a low H2/CO ratio remains challenging in current industrial practice, primarily due to process limitations related to feedstock composition, reaction thermodynamics and restricted flexibility in conventional reforming technologies. This report investigates the potential of the Topsoe ReShiftTM technology as a revamp option for syngas production with a lower H2/CO ratio, lower
Global manufacturing companies operate in increasingly uncertain and complex environments where changes in sourcing strategies, supplier structures and logistics networks create significant challenges for decisionmaking. Traditional analytical methods often struggle to capture the dynamic and interconnected nature of modern supply chains, limiting their ability to support proactive evaluation of s
Vast amounts of resources extracted through the times are in today’s built environment, with only an estimated 20-30% of building material recycled or reused and the sector accounting for over 35% of the EU’s total waste generation. Buildings are also responsible for 25-40% of all global carbon dioxide emissions. Circular Economy (CE) refers to the better management of resources and waste by closi
Conservation and consistency are fundamental properties of discretizations of systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. Re- cently, these concepts have been extended to the realm of iterative methods by defining locally conservative and flux consistent iterations. In this note, the current status of such iterative methods is summarized. In particular, it has been shown that Krylov subspace methods
The T matrix for scattering of waves by a circular disk is derived. Both the scalar (Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions) and the vector (perfectly conducting disk) cases are considered and the use of alternative choices for surface field functions is discussed in detail, and it is found that either type of the surface field representation is equally good for the disk case. Analytic expressi
