    Author : Ylva Edwards; Ulf Isacsson; Klaus-Werner Damm; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bitumen; asphalt; additives; wax in bitumen; polyphosphoric acid in bitumen; rheology; IR-spectroscopy; dynamic mechanic analysis DMA ; bending beam rheometer BBR ; literature study; low temperature physical hardening; highway materials; morphology; modified bitumens; temperature susceptibility; low temperature performance; ageing; microscopy; chromatography; Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; force ductility; conventional binder tests; asphalt performance; tensile strain restrained specimen test TSRST ; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis consists of a literature review, presented in two papers, and another six papers describing experimental studies of the influence of different kinds of wax and polyphosporic acid on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture properties. The literature review should give an extensive description of the field of knowledge concerning wax in bitumen. READ MORE

  2. 2. Bringing Game Analytics to Indie Game Publishing : Method and Tool Support for Indie Mobile Game Publishing

    Author : Yanhui Su; Per Backlund; Henrik Engström; Björn Johansson; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; business intelligence; game analytics; metrics; indie game developer; marketing; revenue forecast; GAME Research Group; GAME Research Group;

    Abstract : With the continuous development of the game industry, the research in the game field is also deepening. Many interdisciplinary knowledge areas and theories have been used to promote the development of the game industry. Business Intelligence (BI) has been applied in game development for game design and game optimization. READ MORE

  3. 3. Spherical Indentation Technique for Multiscale Characterisation of Asphalt Mixtures

    Author : Hassan Fadil; Denis Jelagin; Manfred Partl; Per-Lennart Larsson; Said Safwat; Eshan Dave; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Building Materials; Byggnadsmaterial;

    Abstract : The viscoelastic properties of asphalt  mixtures  strongly  influence the  performance of flexible pavements  with respect to  their resistance to several common distress modes. Therefore, accurate measurement of these properties and their change during the service life is an important area of ongoing research. READ MORE

  4. 4. Sample preparation effect on measured rheological properties of bitumen using Dynamic Shear Rheometer

    Author : Maya Sheidaei; Trafik och väg; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bitumen rheology; dynamic shear rheometer; complex modulus;

    Abstract : Through improved bitumen characterization, which will increase the road'sdurability, stability, and performance, pavement engineering can apply thesustainability notion that should be followed in all disciplines nowadays. The newtechniques distinguish between the rheological properties of bituminous binders as a function of loading time and temperature to depict real-world behavior rather than only considering empirical properties.

  5. 5. Creating Correct Network Protocols

    Author : Oskar Wibling; Joachim Parrow; Parosh Abdulla; Ansgar Fehnker; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; network protocols; formal methods; verification; testing; routing protocols; wireless ad hoc networks; model checking; graph transformation; infinite-state systems; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Network protocol construction is a complex and error prone task. The challenges originate both from the inherent complexity of developing correct program code and from the distributed nature of networked systems. Protocol errors can have devastating consequences. READ MORE
