Background – As E.ON’s solar panel business has grown significantly, they are interested in finding new methods of working with inventory management. Currently, it is controlled manually and without any support of structured analytical inventory control methods. Purpose – The purpose of this Master’s Thesis Project is to investigate and suggest a method suitable for inventory control of E.ON’s so
Ultrafast pulse characterization is an ever-growing field of photonics, given the importance of knowing precisely the outcome of ultrafast laser sources and the impossibility to do so with electronics technology. A new approach to the well-established diagnostics technique d-scan has been recently developed in order to expand the capabilities of the d-scan in a single-shot manner. It is known as s
The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is one of the most important algorithms commonly used in baseband processing. While traditional hardware implemen- tations like the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) are highly optimized, they heav- ily suffer from the von Neumann bottleneck. To overcome this, performing the computations directly in memory using memristive crossbar arrays is a promising solution. Th
Historikerna Kjell Östberg & Jenny Andersson beskriver i encyklopedin Sveriges Historia från 2013 hur 1990-talet är en period som kanske framförallt kännetecknas av ett systemskifte inom välfärden och samhället i stort. Under samma tidsperiod utarbetas Lagen om Särskild Service för vissa funktionshindrade vilket är en lag som både präglats av samtidens ideologiska tendenser och internationella
During the past decade, scholars have produced a vast amount of research using linked historical individual-level data, shaping and changing our understanding of the past. This linked data revolution has been powered by methodological and computational advances, partly focused on supervised machine-learning methods that rely on training data. The importance of obtaining high-quality training data
Autonomous robots must operate reliably and safely under uncertain, dynamic conditions over extended periods. To ensure such operational robustness, it is vital that both developers and operators can clearly and verifiably specify functional requirements and safety constraints throughout the robot software lifecycle. My research targets different layers of robot operational safety: early error det
During the last few years, recombinant viral vectors derived from adenovirus (Ad), adeno-associated virus (AAV) or lentivirus (LV) have been developed into highly effective vehicles for gene transfer to the adult central nervous system. In recent experiments, in the rat model of Parkinson's disease, all three vector systems have been shown to be effective for long-term delivery of glial cell line-
The exclusive charmonium production process in pp annihilation with an associated π0 meson pp→J/ψπ0 is studied in the framework of QCD collinear factorization. The feasibility of measuring this reaction through the J/ψ→e+e- decay channel with the AntiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt (PANDA) experiment is investigated. Simulations on signal reconstruction efficiency as well as the background reject
Aim/hypothesis: Environmental factors are believed to contribute to the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate how size for gestational age affects the risk of developing childhood type 1 diabetes. Methods: Using the Swedish paediatric diabetes quality register and the Swedish medical birth register, children with type 1 diabetes diagnosed between 2000 and 201
Although being promoted as the most eco-friendly form of transportation, the shipping sector currently accounts for around 3 % of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, however, with increasing global trade emissions are expected to increase. Even if energy efficiency gains have been accomplished, the majority of the global fleet continue to run on fossil fuels and the total emissions from ships a
Water for firefighting is often associated with drinking water, due to fire hydrants. Fire hydrants have been installed in towns for a long time and are one of the most common ways for the rescue service to get hold of water for extinguishing fires. This report evaluates the ways that the rescue service uses their water and how the get continuously water to the fire site. Other extinguishing metho
Substitution of fossil transport fuels with biodiesel and bioethanol can lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduce dependency on oil and strengthen agriculture. This thesis describes, compares and analyses market penetration of biodiesel and bioethanol, as well as the socio-political context for biofuels, in Germany and the United Kingdom. General conclusions for policy makers wanting to design or ch
As growing populations concentrate in urban areas, it has become apparent that many global problems are a cumulative reflection of unsustainable practices at the local level. Correspondingly, there has been an increasing need to monitor and manage sustainable community growth, which includes a balance of environmental, economic, health, and social measures. Throughout the last decade, the communi
BackgroundTo enable people with stroke to achieve an active everyday life under altered conditions, the development of self-management programs is essential to facilitate the process of change that individuals must undergo. To improve access to self-management, internet-based solutions have been proposed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a novel internet-based intervention,
