Traditionell produktutveckling har en tendens att förlita sig på fysiska prototyper och produkttester för att kunna presentera koncept, förbättra design och kalibrera tillverkningsinställningar. Detta projekt undersöker och utvärderar en virtualisering av prototypframtagning och testning av en plastprodukt för att se om det kan resultera i en snabbare produktframtagning och besparingar av utveckliTraditional product development tends to heavily rely on physical prototyping and testing to present concepts, improve design, and calibrate manufacturing settings. This project aims to explore and evaluate a virtualization of prototype development and testing of a plastic product to evaluate if it results in a faster product development process and savings in development costs, as well as a more

Den globala plastindustrin är fast i ett fossilberoende som sipprar ner till många olika delar av samhället. Det finns så många användningsområden för plast att individer som del av samhället också fastnar i beroendet. Den här studien har utforskat ett tidigare outforskat område, nämligen discgolf, en liten men snabbt växande sport, ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Fokus ligger på såväl tillverkarnasThe sport of disc golf has grown rapidly during the last five years, meaning a rapid increase in production of discs, and therefore also in the use of virgin plastics. The discs are usually produced with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or thermoplastic elastane (TPE). The disc golf market is dominated by a handfull of brands that all have one thing in common, their work on sustainability is eithe

Varje sommar publicerar Jordbruksverket en prognos för hur stora skördarna av tretton viktiga grödor kommer att bli det året. Den låter både bönder och livsmedelsföretag planera sin verksamhet. Därför är det viktigt att prognoserna är så bra som möjligt. Hur stora skördarna blir per odlad hektar (den s.k. hektarskörden) varierar mellan grödor och beror bl.a. på jordmånen och vädret. JordbruksverkeEvery summer the Swedish Department of Agriculture publishes a forecast of the national harvest of 13 key cereal and oilseed crops. The yield of each crop in each region is modeled individually based on weather observations using linear regression and empirically known relationships. This thesis investigates and improves these models. First, the forecasts are replicated along with simulation-based

Alzheimers sjukdom är den vanligaste typen av demenssjukdom. Den har drabbat miljontals människor, men ännu finns det inget sätt att bota sjukdomen. Huvudorsaken till Alzheimers sjukdom tros vara ansamlingar i hjärnan av peptiden amyloid β som självmant kan interagera med andra peptider av sin sort och bilda mycket stabila och organiserade amyloida fibriller. En mängd monomera amyloida β peptider The aggregation of amyloid β in the brain is considered to be the main cause of the currently incurable Alzheimer’s disease. Research investigating fibrils is being conducted continuously. Despite this, there is an incredibly large knowledge gap in what we know about the aggregation process. This study aims to investigate the temperature influence on the Aβ40 aggregation process using differential
