This master’s thesis explores the design of monopile foundations for a conceptual offshore wind farm in the Golfo de Cádiz, Spain. It uses a one-dimensional (1D) finite element (FE) modeling approach, based on the PISA-study. With the PISAstudy, new design models are available, which replace the traditionally used p-y method. A central part of this thesis is the Abaqus software, which is used to m

Following the discontinuation of LIBOR, the interest rate market has transitioned to backward-looking benchmarks such as SOFR. Unlike traditional forward-looking rates like LIBOR, SOFR is set in arrears, which affects the pricing methods of derivatives linked to these benchmarks. This thesis studies the impact of this transition on the pricing and calibration of caps within the Hull-White framewor

One promising opportunity is to make the plastic lid fully removable, allowing easi

Kraftvärmeverk producerar el, och levererar värme till fjärrvärmenätet. Nätets returflöde till dessa verk har generellt en relativt hög temperatur, och det finns idag verksamheter som använder sig av denna returvärme för att värma upp anläggningar och utrymmen som har värmebehov. Det finns en potential att på liknande sätt utnyttja denna för uppvärmning av växthus, vilket utgör en synergimöjlighetCogeneration plants generate electricity and supply heat to the district heating network. The return flow from the network to these plants generally has a relatively high temperature, and there are currently operations that utilize this return heat to warm facilities and spaces with heating needs. There is potential to similarly use this return heat for greenhouse heating, which presents a synergy

Video cameras are widely used for gait-based surveillance systems. However, they raise privacy concerns in sensitive environments such as private homes or restricted areas. As a result, radar-based methods are being explored as a privacy-preserving alternative. These methods are particularly promising with the emergence of high-resolution radar sensors capable of operating effectively in indoor co

To mitigate greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels in conventional transportation—including vehicles, ships, and aircraft—a wide range of alternative energy sources have been explored, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), methanol, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), biomass, solar energy, hydrogen, fuel cells, and batteries. Among these, battery electric propulsion syst

Background We seek to clarify how changes in the prevalence of drug use disorder (DUD) in Sweden in the 1950-1990 birth cohort impact the aggregation and co-aggregation in siblings of DUD and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Methods We examined risk for DUD and AUD in siblings of 102,624 DUD cases and matched control probands and 123,837 AUD case and matched control probands identified using Swedish re

INTRODUCTION: Low birth weight is an important measure of the health of pregnant women and newborns. We investigated the prevalence of low birth weights in India over nearly three decades to assess trends and convergence across states.METHODS: Data came from five waves of the National Family Health Survey (1992-93 to 2019-21). The prevalence of low birth weight was estimated. To explore the sensit

Ammonia (NH3) emerges as a promising carbon-free fuel, necessitating an understanding of its fundamental combustion properties, particularly the laminar burning velocity (SL), at very high unburnt temperatures (Tu). Despite this need, a consensus on the relationship between SL and Tu across a broad temperature range has not yet been established. This study investigated the SL vs. Tu relationship f

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by dopaminergic neurodegeneration, α-Synuclein (α-Syn) pathology, and inflammation. Microglia in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) upregulate major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII), and variants in genes encoding MHCII affect PD risk. Additionally, elevated TNF levels and α-Syn-reactive T cells in circulation suggest a strong link betwee

På senare tid har en särskild typ av företag, vars affärsverksamhet går ut på att hyra bostadslägenheter för att vidareupplåta dem till företag som behöver personalbostäder, vuxit fram på hyresmarknaden i Sverige. Detta fenomen är vanligast i storstadsregionerna, företagen brukar kallas för mellanhandsföretag och bostäderna som hyrs ut för företagsbostäder.

This phenomenon is most prevalent in metropolitan areas. Such businesses are usually referred to as intermediary companies, and the flats as corporate apartments. One of the legal provi

När två eller flera faktorer samverkar till en skada uppstår i försäkringsrätten en fråga om vem som ska bära det ekonomiska ansvaret för skadan. Detta gäller särskilt när en orsak omfattas av försäkringen medan den andra orsaken är undantagen försäkringsskydd, annars faller utanför försäkringen eller om- fattas av en annan försäkring. Uppsatsen har utifrån praxis och litteratur kun- nat identifieWhen two or more risks cause an injury, question arises in insurance law who should bear the responsibility for the injury. This is particularly the case when one risk is covered by the insurance whereas the other risk is excluded, oth- erwise not covered or covered by another insurance. Through studies of case law and literature, this essay has found that there are three viable solutions. The dom
