  2. 21. Service Life Estimations in the Design of Buildings : A Development of the Factor Method

    Author : Björn Marteinsson; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : Construction engineering; factor method; service life prediction; durability; degradation;

    Abstract :   The built environment usually constitutes a very important part of the real capital of a nation, and the construction sector represents more than 10% of the yearly Gross National Product of the industrialised world. Good planning of all construction is important, and consideration of the service life of the work is of great interest and is a significant aspect of sustainability considerations. READ MORE

  4. 22. Electronic structure studies and method development for complex materials

    Author : Andreas Östlin; Levente Vitos; Olle Eriksson; KTH; []
    Keywords : electronic structure theory; transition metals; method development;

    Abstract : Over the years electronic structure theory has proven to be a powerful method with which one can probe the behaviour of materials, making it possible to predict properties that are difficult to measure experimentally. The numerical tools needed for these methods are always in need of development, since the desire to calculate more complex materials pushes this field forward. READ MORE

  5. 23. On development of production methods for transfer to SMEs

    Author : Jens von Axelson; Peter Gröndahl; Per Odenrick; KTH; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; SME; production method; innovation diffusion; networks; transfer; development; dissemination; clustering; Product science; Produktforskning;

    Abstract : The main problem in this thesis is: How should research and development results regarding production methods be represented for better adoption by SMEs? Manufacturing SMEs in Sweden have in general low profit margins and risk to go bankrupt. Different production methods could facilitate the needed performance improvement. READ MORE

  6. 24. A Foundation for Sustainable Product Development

    Author : Sophie Hallstedt; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; backcasting; decision processes; ecodesign; integrated; product development; sustainability principles; sustainable product development; strategic sustainable development;

    Abstract : Product development is a particularly critical intervention point for the transformation of society towards sustainability. Current socio-ecological impacts over product life-cycles are evidence that current practices are insufficient. READ MORE

  7. 25. Drug Analysis : Bioanalytical Method Development and Validation

    Author : Mikaela Malm; Yngve Bergqvist; Anders Colmsjö; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Analytical chemistry; African trypanosomiasis; calibration model; chiral chromatography; dried blood spots; eflornithine; evaporative light-scattering detection; HIV AIDS; lamivudine; liquid chromatography; malaria; nevirapine; piperaquine; pneumonia; solid-phase extraction; sulfadoxine; sulfamethoxazole; validation; zidovudine; Analytisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes bioanalytical methods for drug determination in biological matrixes, with drugs in focus used against diseases largely affecting low-income countries. Solid-phase extraction is used for sample cleanup, and processed samples are analyzed by liquid chromatography. READ MORE
