  2. 1. CVD Growth of Silicon Carbide for High Frequency Applications

    Author : Urban Forsberg; Erik Janzén; Anne Henry; Christian Brylinski; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Material physics with surface physics; Materialfysik med ytfysik;

    Abstract : Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an important wide band gap semiconductor with outstanding electronic properties. With figures of merit far better than silicon, SiC is believed to replace and outcompete silicon in many applications using high frequencies, high voltage and high temperatures. READ MORE

  4. 2. Networks of urban interaction - Growth and centrality in the complex geography of urban activity

    Author : Alexander Hellervik; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; accessibility; power law; urban activity; centrality; urban growth; transport infrastructure; spatial interaction; complex networks; Zipf’s law;

    Abstract : How cities and regions grow and decline depend on technological, social and economic factors. Understanding the interplay of these forces is central in research efforts aiming to improve urban and transport planning. READ MORE

  5. 3. Spatial-Temporal Patterns of Urban Growth in Shanghai, China: Monitoring, Analysis, and Simulation

    Author : Qian Zhang; Yifang Ban; Jiyuan Liu; Bin Jiang; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; urban growth; spatial-temporal pattern; remote sensing; spatial metrics; scenarios-based simulation; Shanghai; Geoengineering; Geoteknik;

    Abstract : Supporting huge population, megacities are definitely the hot spots of production, consumption, and waste generation. Without careful investment and planning, megacities will be overwhelmed by burgeoning negative impacts on the environment, natural resources, and human health, as well as a host of social and economic issues.

    Abstract : A city is considered as a complex system. It consists of numerous interactivesub-systems and is affected by diverse factors including governmental landpolicies, population growth, transportation infrastructure, and market behavior. READ MORE

  7. 5. Perspectives on Modeling and Simulation of Urban Systems with Multiple Actors and Subsystems

    Author : Elhabib Moustaid; Sebastiaan Meijer; Gunnar Flötteröd; S Rajagopalan; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Simulation Modeling; Urban Systems; Expert Knowledge; Complexity Science; Mathematical Modeling; Second Order Effects.; Simulering och modellering; urbana system; expertkunskap; Komplexitetsvetenskap; matematisk modellering; andra graden effekt; Teknik och hälsa; Technology and Health;

    Abstract : Cities are the spaces of the interaction between social, physical, political, and economic entities, which makes planning and intervening in such systems difficult. Urban systems are complex adaptive systems in that their behaviours are often the result of the interaction of their components. READ MORE
