2. 1. Water and Heat Transport in Road Structures : Development of Mechanistic Models

   Author : Klas Hansson; Lars-Christer Lundin; Kurt Roth; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrology; Water flow; Heat flow; Unsaturated flow; Freeze-thaw; Numerical models; Uncertainty analysis; Sensitivity analysis; Roads; Overland flow; Flow patterns; TDR; Water content reflectometer; Calibration; Fractures; Hydrologi; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

   Abstract : The coupled transport of water and heat, involving freezing and thawing, in the road structure and its immediate environment is important to consider for optimal design and maintenance of roads and when assessing solute transport, of e.g. de-icing salt, from roads. READ MORE

4. 2. Intelligence and models for cognitive development

   Author : Linda Wänström; Daniel Thorburn; Gösta Hägglund; Dag Sörbom; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intelligence; cognitive development; sample size; multilevel models; latent growth curve models; Statistics; Statistik; statistik; Statistics;

   Abstract : This dissertation focuses on cognitive development. In papers I and II, I study a special model, the second order latent growth curve model, that can be used to study cognitive development. Algebraic expressions for the variance of the estimation of slope differences are given. READ MORE

5. 3. Entrepreneurial competence development : triggers, processes & consequences

   Author : Magdalena Markowska; Johan Wiklund; Friederike Welter; Dimo Dimov; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Entrepreneurial Competence; development; cases; gourmet restaurateurs;

   Abstract : This dissertation, comprised of the cover story and the four separate but interrelated articles, focuses on exploring the development of entrepreneurial competence. Building on the assumption that purposeful engagement in entrepreneurial action potentially leads to the acquisition of specific entrepreneurial competencies, this thesis investigates the mechanisms facilitating and enabling entrepreneurs’ acquisition of entrepreneurial expertise, and the consequences of this process.

6. 4. Development and Resilience : Re-thinking poverty and intervention in biocultural landscapes

   Author : L. Jamila Haider; Maja Schlüter; Wiebren Boonstra; M. Jahi Chappell; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biocultural diversity; coevolution; development; interdisciplinary; Pamir Mountains; poverty traps; resilience; social-ecological systems; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : The practices related to the growing, harvesting, preparation, and celebration of food over millennia have given rise to diverse biocultural landscapes the world over. These landscapes – rich in biological and cultural diversity – are often characterised by persistent poverty, and, as such, are often the target of development interventions. READ MORE

7. 5. Development of Interdisciplinary Platforms Using System Objects

   Author : Jonas Landahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; product development; function-means modeling; configurable; product architecture; mass customization; concurrent engineering; interdisciplinary development; reconfigurable; production development; platform- based development; flexible; design reuse; adaptable; interchange of information; producibility; systems engineering;

   Abstract : Conceptually “form follows function”, as stated by Louis Sullivan. Physically however, form follows producibility.There is an erroneous notion that many customers can be provided with customized products, produced without any battle. READ MORE
