2. 6. An Optimisation Approach to Cartographic Generalisation

   Author : Lars Harrie; Centrum för geografiska informationssystem (GIS-centrum); []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; incremental generalisation; multiple representation; least-squares method; optimisation; cartographic constraints; displacement; cartographic generalisation; graphic generalisation; map production; object-oriented spatial databases; Physical geography; geomorphology; pedology; cartography; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Technological sciences; Teknik;

   Abstract : Cartographic generalisation is the process of simplifying a representation to suit the scale and purpose of a map. As such, generalisation has always been a central part in map production. This thesis is a contribution to the ongoing work on automating cartographic generalisation. READ MORE

4. 7. Liquidity and Portfolio Optimisation

   Author : Björn Hagströmer; Jane M. Binner; Aston University Aston Business School; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; stock market; liquidity; systematic liquidity; portfolio optimisation; high-frequency data; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Abstract : This thesis presents research within empirical financial economics with focus on liquidity and portfolio optimisation in the stock markets. The discussion on liquidity is focussed on measurement issues, including TAQ data processing and measurement of systematic liquidity factors. READ MORE

5. 8. Experimental studies of wind turbine wakes : power optimisation and meandering

   Author : Davide Medici; Henrik Alfredsson; Martin O.L. Lansen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wind energy; power optimisation; active control; yaw; vortex shedding; wake meandering; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

   Abstract : Wind tunnel studies of the wake behind model wind turbines with one, two and three blades have been made in order to get a better understanding of wake development as well as the possibility to predict the power output from downstream turbines working in the wake of an upstream one. Both two-component hot-wire anemometry and particle image velocimetry (PIV) have been used to map the flow field downstream as well as upstream the turbine. READ MORE

6. 9. Slab track optimisation considering dynamic train–track interaction

   Author : Emil Aggestam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Modelling; Genetic algorithm; Slab track; Transition zones; Dynamic vehicle–track interaction; Optimisation; Measurement; Ballastless track;

   Abstract : Slab track is a type of railway track that is frequently used e.g. in high-speed applications as an alternative to ballasted track. Slab track is also well suited on bridges and in tunnels since no ballast is required and the cross-section of tunnels can be reduced. READ MORE

7. 10. Advancing the life cycle energy optimisation methodology

   Author : Hamza Bouchouireb; Ciarán J. O'Reilly; Peter Göransson; Rupert J. Baumgartner; José Potting; Tracy Bhamra; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; life cycle energy; vehicle design; optimisation; functional conflicts; livscykelenergi; fordonsdesign; optimering; tvär-funktionella konflikter; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : The Life Cycle Energy Optimisation (LCEO) methodology aims at finding a design solution that uses a minimum amount of cumulative energy demand over the different phases of the vehicle's life cycle, while complying with a set of functional constraints. This effectively balances trade-offs, and therewith avoids sub-optimal shifting between the energy demand for the cradle-to-production of materials, operation of the vehicle, and end-of-life phases.
