  2. 1. On Distributed Control-by-Wire Systems for Critical Applications

    Author : Roger Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; time-triggered communication; fault-tolerance; distributed systems; dependable systems; inherent redundancy; control-by-wire;

    Abstract : The implementation of closed loop control systems is an important field for the exploitation of embedded real-time computer systems. One can find a particularly interesting class of closed loop control applications within vehicle dynamics control. READ MORE

  4. 2. Deflating selection : On the interpretation and application of evolutionary theory

    Author : Björn Brunnander; Sören Häggqvist; Paul Needham; Denis Walsh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; ambiguity; causal factor; drift; evolutionary theory; force; function; intentional psychology; interpretation; multiple realisation; natural selection; philosophical method; pre-theoretical influence; redundancy; Theoretical Philosophy; teoretisk filosofi;

    Abstract : Although the theory of evolution is well-established it nevertheless presents us with a few unresolved matters of interpretation. One key task is to get clear about what exactly one should take the term 'natural selection' to denote. READ MORE

  5. 3. Food Webs, Models and Species Extinctions in a Stochastic Environment

    Author : Patrik Karlsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ekologi; Ecology; functional redundancy; trophospecies; species aggregation; environmental stochasticity; interaction strength; spectral colour; food web structure; food webs; extinction risk;

    Abstract : In light of the current global mass extinction of species, ecologists are facing great challenges. In order to reverse the path towards additional extinctions early warning systems to guide management actions need to be developed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Fatigue Life of Riveted Railway Bridges

    Author : Björn Åkesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; field tests; full-scale fatigue tests; steel bridges; fatigue life; railway bridges; riveted connections;

    Abstract : This dissertation, which focuses on the fatigue life of riveted steel railway bridges, is based on: - A series of full-scale fatigue tests of nine riveted stringers taken from a railway bridge built in 1896. A review of and comparison with the different full-scale fatigue tests on riveted railway bridge members, which have been conducted in other laboratories over the years, is also given. READ MORE

  7. 5. Exploiting individual wheel actuators to enhance vehicle dynamics and safety in electric vehicles
