För att undersöka och utvärdera temperaturfördelningar och efterföljande lastfall i betongkonstruktioner kan exempelvis temperatursimuleringar användas. Sådana simuleringar har gjorts i flera tidigare studier med hjälp av väderdata som mätts upp i närheten av den konstruktion som studeras. Denna metod har dock begränsningar i och med att viktiga klimatparametrar som globalstrålning och långvågig sTo study and evaluate temperature distributions and subsequent load cases in concrete structures it is common to use thermal simulations. Such simulations have been performed in multiple previous studies using weather data measured in the vicinity of the studied object. However, this method has limitations, since important factors such as solar radiation and longwave heat radiation are only measur

This study reveals different types of self-service kiosk customer value and synthesizes the self-service kiosk customer value framework, which includes four value groups and three types of customer value elements. The study also reveals gaps which stem from the inconsistency and fragmented nature of previous research on customer value in self-service kiosks. Based on the review of relevant literat

If you live in Sweden (and I guess you do), there is a two in three chance that youhave shopped online at least once in the last month. You may also know that inSweden on average, each of us spends over 3000 SEK per month buying goods andservices online. It is expected that over 2 billion people will be shopping online bythe year 2020, thus generating a global revenue of 4.1 trillion USD. One imag

This paper presents algorithms for continuous-time direct adaptive control of robot manipulators. Lyapunov theory is used for controller design and stability investigation. Algorithms for rapid continuous-time adaptive control are presented.

For various industries worldwide, recent years have been defined by the remarkable growth of e-commerce. Enabled by the Internet, retailers can reach more customers, spread much further in the distribution chain, and optimize their resources. In the new market environment, customer experience has become a source of competitive advantage. This study investigates the role of last mile delivery in th

Denna avhandling undersöker vetenskapens roll i den politiska processens tidiga stadier. Detta görs genom att studera hur "geoengineering" kommer upp på den politiska agendan. Begreppet ”geoengineering” används även på svenska och beskriver en uppsättning idéer om hur man stabiliserar den globala temperaturen genom att ingripa i jordens miljösystem. Begreppet mötte stark skepsis i det vetenskapligThis thesis examines the role of science in the earliest stages of the political process. It does this by studying the emergence of ‘geoengineering’ on the political agenda. The term describes a set of ideas on how to stabilize global temperature by intervening into the Earth’s natural systems, and was subject to a strong taboo in the scientific community until the mid-2000s. Yet within a decade,
