2. 11. Optimal Stopping and Model Robustness in Mathematical Finance

   Author : Henrik Wanntorp; Johan Tysk; Svante Janson; Boualem Djehiche; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimal stopping; model robustness; American options; free boundary problems; hedging; option pricing; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik;

   Abstract : Optimal stopping and mathematical finance are intimately connected since the value of an American option is given as the solution to an optimal stopping problem. Such a problem can be viewed as a game in which we are trying to maximize an expected reward. READ MORE

4. 12. Integrated pedestrian safety assessment methodology

   Author : Nils Lübbe; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; assessment; driver behavior; comfort zone boundary; integrated safety; pedestrian; Forward Collision Warning; False Positive;

   Abstract : Pedestrian fatalities and injuries are a concern in many regions. Passive safety assessment is well established, and additional active safety assessment has recently emerged. However, assessment methods reflecting on the interaction between active and passive safety do not exist in regulatory or consumer testing. READ MORE

5. 13. Boundaries, believers and bodies : a cultural analysis of a multidisciplinary research community

   Author : Helena Pettersson; Britta Lundgren; Erik Stolterman; David Hakken; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Culture; ethnographic method; research; technology; boundary object work; symbolic capital; technoromanticism; future; speed; creativity; reality; dystopia; focal things; trading; multidisciplinary; gender; reflexivity; Ethnology; Etnologi;

   Abstract : The aim of this study is to analyze the construction of research culture and collaboration within the research studio Tools for Creativity, one node in the larger Interactive Institute. This studio is an arena that in today’s society is associated with boundary crossing, dynamics and variability: An environment with high-tech equipment, a staff equipped with diverse skills, and a flexible approach with the ambition of developing innovative tools based on ICT to strengthen human creativity.

6. 14. Towards Crash-Free Driving: Opportunities and Limitations of Automated Emergency Braking in Intersections

   Author : Ulrich Sander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; AEB; left turn across path; V2X communication; Intersection; accident avoidance; straight crossing path; automated emergency braking; market penetration; injury mitigation; junction;

   Abstract : Intersections are a global traffic safety concern. In the Unites States, about half of the fatal road traffic accidents take place at intersections or were related to them. In the European Union, about one fifth of the road traffic fatalities occur at intersections. READ MORE

7. 15. Three Dimensional Multiphysics Modeling of Reversible Solid Oxide Electrochemical Cells for Degradation Studies

   Author : Maria Navasa; Värmeöverföring; []
   Keywords : SOCs; SOECs; SOFCs; multiphysics; modeling; three dimensional; transport phenomena; electrochemical reactions; overpotentials; potentials; boundary conditions; validation; experimental data; degradation; carbon deposition; steam; hydrogen; carbon dioxide; carbon monoxide; carbon activity;

   Abstract : Solid oxide electrochemical cells (SOCs) are considered a highly promising technology for providing efficient, sustainable and economic conversion between chemical energy and electrical energy. SOCs can be operated as fuel cells, where electric power is obtained from fossil or non-fossil hydrocarbon fuels depending on the origin or as electrolysis cells, whereby using electrical energy from renewable sources like wind or solar, chemical energy can be stored as fuels.
