2. 1. Green Logistics through Modal Shift - exploring the role of the transport capacity contract

   Author : Fredrik Eng Larsson; Teknisk logistik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; green logistics; modal shift; mode choice; capacity management; supply chain contracting; intermodal transport;

   Abstract : Among policy-makers in Europe the modal shift - a shift från polluting modes of freight transport to less polluting modes - has been a popular suggestion for reducing CO2-emissions of transportation. In particular, intermodal road-rail solutions, where a combination of road and rail transport is utilized to move trailers and containers, have been stressed as an important measure to reach de desired reduction in emissions.

4. 2. On the Incentives to Shift to Low-Carbon Freight Transport

   Author : Fredrik Eng Larsson; Teknisk logistik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; low-carbon transport; green logistics; sustainability; operations and the environment; supply chain management; incentive alignment;

   Abstract : The transport sector accounts for approximately 20% of EU-27 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and 27% of U.S. GHG emissions. With the Kyoto Protocol, Sweden and several other nations have agreed to reduce these emissions. READ MORE

5. 3. Lithium-ion Battery Safety - Assessment by Abuse Testing, Fluoride Gas Emissions and Fire Propagation

   Author : Carl Fredrik Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fire; thermal runaway; gas emission; gas explosion; propagation; safety; abuse testing; Lithium-ion; cell case explosion; hydrogen fluoride;

   Abstract : Lithium-ion batteries offer high energy and power densities as well as long life time but have a more narrow stability window compared to other battery types and contain reactive and flammable materials. In case of overheating the battery cell can release gas (vent) and, at temperatures of about 150-200 °C, a so called thermal runaway can occur, that is a rapid self-heated temperature increase which is typically accompanied with a large release of smoke and gas, fire and a potential cell case explosion or gas explosion.

6. 4. The Heterogeneity of Behavior in Operations Processes : Empirical Evidence

   Author : Neslihan Özlü; Fredrik Eng Larsson; Thomas Hartman; Olov Isaksson; Kai Hoberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; behavioral operations; empirical operations; heterogeneity; experience effects; ordering decisions; choice models; judgmental forecasting; operations processes; Business Administration; företagsekonomi;

   Abstract : Behavioral science research has established that observed human behavior may deviate considerably from model suggestions. In addition to the realization that there is no such thing as standardized human behavior, there are also substantial differences in how people deviate from the model: Different individuals make dissimilar decisions in the same situation when using the same information.

7. 5. Empirical Essays on Retail Logistics and Customer Behavior

   Author : Christoph Baldauf; Olov Isaksson; Fredrik Eng Larsson; Jan Fransoo; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; retail logistics; online retail; omnichannel retail; customer behavior; marketing-operations interface; Business Administration; företagsekonomi;

   Abstract : Retail logistics is responsible for making products available to end customers. Traditionally, this was facilitated through a network of brick and mortar stores that customers visit to buy items. However, the advent of online and omnichannel retail started to challenge this established system. READ MORE
