  2. 1. Improving Machining System Performance through designed-in Damping : Modelling, Analysis and Design Solutions

    Author : Lorenzo Daghini; Cornel Mihai Nicolescu; Miroslav Píška; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machining performance; Cutting stability; Passive damping; High Damping Interface; Boring bar; Turret; SRA - Production; SRA - Produktion;

    Abstract : With advances in material technology, allowing, for instance, engines to withstand higher combustion pressure and consequently improving performance, comes challenges to productivity. These materials are, in fact, more difficult to machine with regards to tool wear and especially machine tool stability. READ MORE

  4. 2. Performance of MCrAlX coatings : Oxidation, Hot corrosion and Interdiffusion

    Author : Pimin Zhang; Ru Lin Peng; Xin-Hai Li; Sten Johansson; Ping Xiao; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : MCrAlY coatings (M=Ni and/or Co) are widely used for the protection of superalloy components against oxidation and hot corrosion in the hot sections of gas turbines. The drive for coating systems to bestow adequate oxidation and corrosion resistance upon the components becomes urgent as an inevitable result of the necessary improvement in engine combustion efficiency and service lifetime.

  5. 3. The Development and Evaluation of Hospital Pay-for-Performance in Lebanon: Casemix, Readmissions and Patient Perspectives

    Author : Jade Khalife; Socialmedicin och global hälsa; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Health system; Hospital performance; Pay-for-performance; Evaluation; Patient perspectives; Casemix; Readmissions; Lebanon;

    Abstract : Background: Pay-for-performance (P4P) has been widely used in healthcare, but there are few experiences of hospital-based P4P at scale. The evidence of impact from these has been mixed, and there has been increased recognition of the importance of different contexts, designs, incentives and other factors. READ MORE

  6. 4. Small-Scale Decentralized Energy Systems : optimization and performance analysis

    Author : Sara Ghaem Sigarchian; Viktoria Martin; Anders Malmquist; Erik Dahlquist; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Small-scale polygeneration energy systems; techno-economic optimization; renewable energy; operating strategy; particle swarm optimization; optimization algorithm; decentralized energy system;

    Abstract : Small-scale polygeneration energy systems, providing multiple energy services, such as heating, electricity, cooling, and clean water, using multiple energy sources (renewable and non-renewable) are considered an important component in the energy transition movement. Exploiting locally available energy sources and providing energy services close to the end users have potential environmental, economic, and societal benefits. READ MORE

  7. 5. Towards System Supply : Development of Small and Medium-Sized Contract Manufacturers

    Author : Inga-Lill Carlsson; Håkan Aronsson; Lars Bengtsson; Mats Abrahamsson; Per Hilletofth; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : One way for a small subcontractor to meet increasing global competition is to develop a system supplying ability, implying a transition in the supply chain toward a larger overall responsibility. As large corporations outsource parts of their manufacturing and services, many small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) suppliers are expected to deepen their capabilities and take on the role of system suppliers.
