Den vanligaste metoden för att dimensionera vägar i Sverige tillåter inte att tjockleken av obundna lager i vägkonstruktionen underskrider 500 mm. Hade en vägs obundna lager kunnat minskas med bara ett fåtal centimeter hade material- och transportkostnader kunnat minska avsevärt. I examensarbetet Styvhetsanalys av vägkonstruktioner (Svensson, 2015) tas en metod fram för att kontrollera om konstrukIn order to measure the stiffness properties of a soil, a method called the plate loading test is used. Based on this test a modulus called Ev2 [Pa] is obtained among others. When building a road construction there are different requirements for this Ev2-modulus for different layers in the road. According to the Swedish Transport Administration regulatory document TRVK Väg and the dimensioning ca

Syftet med studien är att få en inblick i hur executive search-konsulter arbetar med att porträttera och legitimera sitt arbete och sin image.

Multivariat mönsteranalys (MVPA) är en maskininlärningsmetod som de senaste 15 åren använts inom hjärnavbildningsstudier för att avkoda och klassificera neurala representationer som uppstår vid kognitiv bearbetning hos försöksdeltagare då de utsätts för olika slags stimuli. Syftet med denna undersökning har varit att med hjälp av klassificerare avkoda den elektroencefalografiska hjärnaktivitet somMultivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) is a machine learning method that has, over the past 15 years, been used in brain imaging studies to decode and to classify neural representations that emerges when participants cognitively process the exposure of various stimuli. The purpose of this study was, with the use of classifiers, to decode the electroencephalographic brain activity that occurred when

Strängare lagstiftning (SFS 2001:512) har medfört att ett stort antal deponier kommer att avslutas och sluttäckas inom de närmaste åren. Till detta behövs stora mängder material, som lever upp till olika krav som täthet och långtidsbeständighet.

In modeling unsteady compressible viscous flow problems with the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, time adaptive implicit methods are needed to solve the initial value problems that arise when discretizing the equations in accordance with the method of lines. The methods most used in industrial code today are a family of multistep methods called BDF-methods. Because BDF-methods with higher ord

The purpose of this study was to look at two autobiographies through qualitative methods.
