2. 1. Evaluation of test cycles for freight locomotives

   Author : Mattias Skoglund; Stefan Östlund; Peter Thelin; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; duty cycles; test cycles; diesel locomotives; locomotive emissions; dual modes; hybrid systems;

   Abstract : Diesel locomotives provide versatility to the railway system as they do not depend on electric feeding. Worldwide they constitute important parts of locomotive fleets used for various tasks such as mainline services, shunting and terminal operations. The main drawbacks are emissions of CO2, NOx and other pollutants. READ MORE

4. 2. Institutions, Political Cycles and Corruption : Essays on Dynamic Political Economy of Government

   Author : Yinan Li; John Hassler; Gerard Padró i Miquel; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Institutions; Political Cycles; Corruption; Economics; nationalekonomi;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of three essays in Political Economy:“China’s Political Business Cycle” uncovers the fact that the timing of China’s business cycle correlates to the timing of the Communist Party’s Congress and constructs a theory to explain the mechanism of the political business cycle. An empirical test of the theory derives a result consistent with the predictions of the theory. READ MORE

   Author : Camilla Josephson; Lennart Schön; Deirdre Nansen MC Closkey; Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Ekonomisk och social historia; Social and economic history; Nutidshistoria från 1914 ; Contemporary history since 1914 ; Manufacturing industry; Institutional change; Knowledge accumulation; Opportunity costs; The cointegrated VAR model; Business cycles; Economic growth; TFP growth; Cyclical economics; Konjunkturteori; cykliska förlopp; Contemporary history;

   Abstract : This study shows that the mechanisms behind knowledge accumulation and the sources of productivity growth differ from industry to industry depending on what is produced and what technology is used. Although it is apparent to most researchers in the field that the only way to explain long-run growth in output per capita is through technological progress and accumulation of knowledge that counteract the dampening effect of diminishing returns, we are still in the dark about how such mechanisms operate.

7. 5. Humidification in Evaporative Power Cycles

   Author : Farnosh Dalili; KTH; []
   Keywords : Gas Turbines; EvGT; HAT; Humidification; Evaporator; Saturator;

   Abstract : Evaporative gas turbine cycles (EvGT) show an exceptionalexhaust heat recovery potential, which makes them a strongcompetitor to other advanced gas turbine cycles, especiallyfrom small to intermediate sizes. Evaporative gas turbines aredistinguished by humidifying the working fluid beforecombustion at temperatures below the boiling point of water;and the heat required for evaporation of water is partly takenout of the exhaust gas.
