  2. 1. Inducing large-scale diffusion of innovation : An integrated actor- and system-level approach

    Author : Ingrid Mignon; Anna Bergek; Johanna Nählinder; Volker Hoffmann; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Innovation; large-scale diffusion; adopters; actor; system; drivers; challenges; motives; strategies; policies; renewable electricity; technology; intermediaries;

    Abstract : In order for the innovation process to be successful, not only do innovations need to be developed and reached the market, but, once they are available for users, they have to spread on a large scale. In the innovation literature, a complete explanation is lacking of why some innovations reach a phase of large-scale diffusion faster than others, including both actor- and system-level components.

  4. 2. Accelerating Convergence of Large-scale Optimization Algorithms

    Author : Euhanna Ghadimi; Mikael Johansson; Angelia Nedich; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Convex optimization; Large-scale systems; First-order methods; Convergence analysis; ADMM; Optimization algorithms; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik; Matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : Several recent engineering applications in multi-agent systems, communication networks, and machine learning deal with decision problems that can be formulated as optimization problems. For many of these problems, new constraints limit the usefulness of traditional optimization algorithms. READ MORE

  5. 3. Large-scale releases of native species : the mallard as a predictive model system

    Author : Pär Söderquist; Högskolan Kristianstad; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; NATURVETENSKAP; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Anas platyrhynchos; Farmed; Hunting; Introgression; Longevity; Mallard; Migration; Morphology; Population genetic; Restocking; SNPs; Sweden;

    Abstract : Human alteration of natural systems, and its consequences are of great concern and the impact on global ecosystems is one of the biggest threats that biodiversity stands before. Translocations of invasive species, as well as intraspecific contingents with non-native genotypes, whether they are deliberate or unintentional, are one such alteration and its consequences are continuously being assessed.

  6. 4. Distributed Stochastic Programming with Applications to Large-Scale Hydropower Operations

    Author : Martin Biel; Mikael Johansson; Lennart Söder; David Woodruff; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; stochastic programming; distributed; algorithms; large-scale; optimization; hydropower; software; julia language; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Stochastic programming is a subfield of mathematical programming concerned with optimization problems subjected to uncertainty. Many engineering problems with random elements can be accurately modeled as a stochastic program. In particular, decision problems associated with hydropower operations motivate the application of stochastic programming. READ MORE

  7. 5. Calibration and Reduction of Large-Scale Dynamic Models - Application to Wind Turbine Blades

    Author : Majid Khorsand Vakilzadeh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; maximum likelihood estimator; model reduction; finite element model calibration; Bayesian model calibration; Verification and validation; wind turbine blade; logarithmic least square estimator; large-scale dynamics model; SWPTC;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the validity of structural dynamics models of wind turbine blades. An outlook on methods for model calibration to make models valid for their intended use is presented in the thesis. The intention is to make the models valid for robust predictions. The model validity is here assessed to be of hierarchical dual level. READ MORE
