Nya typer av material som kan ersätta den fossila plasFossil-based resources for plastic production is growingly being challenged by renewable material in applications such as wood-plastic composites. One company dedicated to contribute to this transition is Bio Fiber Tech AB (BFT) who have patented a novel treatment of the wood component for improved compatibility with the polymer matrix. This thesis was in collaboration with BFT with the aim to cha

Anthropogenic climate change has increased the frequency of extreme drought events and leads to “hotter” droughts. Topography controls plant available water and site-specific climatic conditions. Drought sensitivity may therefore vary over short distances between wet and dry locations of the landscape. However, topography is rarely included as a factor in research investigating vegetation dynamics

From a managerial perspective, organizational effectiveness, whether internal or external, is of extreme importance.

Precis som internet har möjliggjort för datorer över hela världen att kommunicera på en gemensam plattform, vill det amerikanska företaget StellThe colossal electricity consumption of proof-of-work cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum has caused critical examination of how consensus in blockchain-solutions is designed. Stellar is a decentralized, open-membership payment network built on blockchain technology, with the goal of enabling money to flow between banks, businesses and people across the global financial infrastructure, w

Robust optimization plays a vital role in proton therapy treatment planning. A monoenergetic beam of protons has a finite range and delivers most of its dose at some specific depth in the patient. This allows the design of treatments that mainly damage the tumor and not any surrounding tissue. However, this property also makes proton therapy sensitive to uncertainties in the patient model used for

Industry 4.0 can be described as the next generation-factories that is characterised by putting a high demand for automation and flexible production lines. The proposed way to achieve this goal is through a large number of Industrial IoT devices(IIoT) in the factory, some having high availability- and low-latency requirements. This demands for a software that can monitor and manage the application

Using data spanning from 1910 to 2020, house price dynamics of Stockholm and Gothenburg are found to be significantly affected by income, household debt, interest rates, construction costs and immigration. Real house prices in Stockholm and Gothenburg exhibit debt elasticities of 1.34 and 1.12, noticeably greater than their respective income elasticities of 0.24 and 0.39. Real house prices in both

The goal of the thesis is to simulate the Ericsson Many-Core Architecture, EMCA, and implement a dynamic scheduler for the system using reinforcement learning methods. The system contains shared resources that receive and complete jobs. Also, the deadlines and latency definitions can change depending on the job type. The scheduler should aim to avoid missing deadlines as well as aim to reduce the

Brákarey has played a variety of roles over the past years, but transport of people and goods was one of its bigg

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Sweden, accounting for approximately 30 % of the cancer cases. The overall prognosis is good, but worsens if the cancer metastasizes from the primary tumor. In order to exclude or confirm lymph node metastasis in clinically node negative breast cancer, axillary lymph nodes are examined by sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Up to 85 % of the pa
