  1. 1. On System Dynamics as an Approach for Manufacturing Systems Development

    Author : Gary Linnéusson; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; system dynamics; manufacturing systems development; operational; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Teknik; Technology;

    Abstract : Improvement work in manufacturing industry usually focuses on the utilisation of equipment. System dynamics simulation is a potential tool for increasing the utilisation of systems. By using group model building and simulation it facilitates a common view and better informed decisions for change. READ MORE

  2. 2. Work, Wages and Income : Remuneration and Labor Patterrns in Sweden 1500-1850

    Author : Kathryn Gary; Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; wages; casual wages; women s wages; labor market; early modern; Sweden; annual wages;

    Abstract : Since the earliest economic historical studies wage series have been used to sketch economic development both at the macro and the household level. This dissertation takes advantage of new data from women and men, working in both the countryside and in towns, as well as employed both by the day and on long-term contracts, in order to make an in-depth quantitative look at the relationships between different kinds of work and how they were compensated within an extended labor market.

  3. 3. Towards strategic development of maintenance and its effects on production performance : A hybrid simulation-based optimization framework

    Author : Gary Linnéusson; Amos H. C. Ng; Tehseen Aslam; Daniel Tesfamariam Semere; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strategic development; maintenance behavior; maintenance management; sustainable change; tradeoff optimization; system dynamics; discrete event simulation; problem structuring; multi-objective optimization; decision support; Production and Automation Engineering; Produktion och automatiseringsteknik;

    Abstract : Managing maintenance in manufacturing within an economical short-termism framework and taking the consequential long-term cost effects into account is hard. The increasing complexity of managing maintenance and its impact on the business results calls for more advanced methods to support long-term development through effective activities in the production system environment.

  4. 4. Evaluation of reverse transcriptase assay for viral load monitoring

    Author : Gary E Corrigan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Retaining an active reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme is a fundamental requirement for all retroviruses to replicate. Bearing in mind that HIV has a very high propensity to mutate measuring RT activity to determine the level of retroviral replication has the capacity to eliminate problems associated with divergence, as the virus at all costs must retain an active RT enzyme.

  5. 5. Radar Remote Sensing of Forests Using CARABAS and ERS

    Author : Gary Smith Jonforsen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; clear-cut; stem volume; ERS; forest; interferometry; remote sensing; SAR; biomass; CARABAS;

    Abstract : Forests cover more than 30% of the Earth's land surface, and represent an important resource. In order to manage this resource effectively, accurate and up-to-date information is required on the extent and state of the forests. Radar remote sensing offers the possibility of providing some of this information. READ MORE
