  2. 1. Entrepreneurial Dynamics and Acquisitions of New Technology-Based Firms

    Author : Jing Xiao; Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Business groups; New technology-based firms NTBFs ; Acquisitions; Entrepreneurial dynamics; Acquisition effects; Survival; Firm growth; Business cycle; Multinational enterprises MNEs ; Longitudinal data; Discrete-time duration models; Competition risks models; Fixed effects model; Inverse-probability-of-treatment weights IPTW ; Sweden;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to explore the evolution of new technology-based firms (NTBFs) based on solid empirical material for the Swedish economy. NTBFs are argued to be one important type of entrepreneurial firms that contribute to technology change, knowledge spillovers, and economic growth. READ MORE

  4. 2. Towards a Holistic Development Approach for Adaptable Manufacturing Paradigms : A Case Study of Evolvable Production Systems

    Author : Afifa Rahatulain; Mauro Onori; DeJiu Chen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Evolvable Production Systems; Model-based Development; System Thinking; Viewpoints; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Engineering and Management;

    Abstract : Increasing global competition, market uncertainties and high product variance are a few of the factors posing challenges to the existing manufacturing industry. Having a quick response to market fluctuations and adapting to changing customer demands while maintaining shorter lead times and low costs are a few of the major challenges. READ MORE

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Additivity; Apatite iron ore; AIO; Block model; Change of support; Classification; Data integration; DT; Feed quality; Geometallurgical program; Geometallurgy; Iron ore; Iron recovery; Leveäniemi; Liberation; Machine learning; Magnetic separation; Malmberget; Mineralogical approach; Mineralogy; Prediction; Proxies; Proxies approach; Sampling; Simulation; Synthetic ore body; Traditional approach; WLIMS; Mineral Processing; Mineralteknik;

    Abstract : The risks of starting, operating and closing mining projects have become higher than ever. In order to stay ahead of the competition, mining companies have to manage various risks: technical, environmental, legal, regulatory, political, cyber, financial and social. Some of these can be mitigated with the help of geometallurgy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Simulation and Measurement of Wheel on Rail Fatigue and Wear

    Author : Babette Dirks; Mats Berg; Roger Enblom; Mark Burstow; KTH; []
    Keywords : multibody simulations; prediction; wear; RCF; wheel; rail; cracks; measurements; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : The life of railway wheels and rails has been decreasing in recent years. This is mainly caused by more traffic and running at higher vehicle speed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Biodiversity and Species Extinctions in Model Food Webs

    Author : Charlotte Borrvall; Bo Ebenman; Owen Petchey; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; food webs; redundancy; relaxation time; stability; stochasticity; species deletion; species extinction; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Many of the earth’s ecosystems are experiencing large species losses due to human impacts such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, climate change, species invasions, pollution, and overfishing. Due to the complex interactions between species in food webs the extinction of one species could lead to a cascade of further extinctions and hence cause dramatic changes in species composition and ecosystem processes.
