2. 1. State-of-the-art Integrated Refrigeration Systems in Supermarkets : An Energy Efficiency Evaluation Based on Field Measurements Analysis and Computer Simulations

   Author : Mazyar Karampour; Samer Sawalha; Björn Palm; Silvia Minetto; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Carbon dioxide CO2 ; Supermarket; Supermarket refrigeration; Trans-critical cycle; Field meas-urements; Computer simulation; System integration; State-of-the-art; Heat recovery; Air condi-tioning; Reference HFC system; Geothermal energy storage; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : Supermarkets have become a vital feature of modern society. However, they have significant impact on the environment due to the large amount of refrigerants needed in the refrigeration system, and due to the large energy use in the supermarket, they are the commercial buildings with highest energy intensity.

4. 2. Investigations on moisture damage-related behaviour of bituminous materials

   Author : Umaru Bagampadde; Ulf Isacsson; Manfred Partl; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Moisture damage; State-of-the-Art; Stripping; Moisture sensitivity; Bituminous materials; Construction engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : This doctoral thesis presents results of literature review on classical and contemporary aspects of stripping, as well as experimental investigations on moisture damage as influenced by bituminous materials. Previous research in the area of moisture damage was reviewed and synthesized into a state-of-the-art. READ MORE

5. 3. Evaluation of Road Equipment with Emphasis on Condition Assessment

   Author : Sven-Olof Lundkvist; Ulf Isacsson; Rolf Magnusson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Road equipment; Condition assessment; State-of-the-art; Mobile measurement; Road marking; Road sign; Post delineator; Traffic light; Street lighting; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

   Abstract : This doctoral thesis deals primarily with condition assessment of road equipment. The road equipment concept is defined by five main groups, road lighting, fences and barriers, vertical signs, horizontal signs and traffic signals, respectively. READ MORE

6. 4. Initialization Methods for System Identification

   Author : Christian Lyzell; Lennart Ljung; Martin Enqvist; Magnus Jansson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; System identification; Initialization methods; Regressor selection; Identifiability; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

   Abstract : In the system identification community a popular framework for the problem of estimating a parametrized model structure given a sequence of input and output pairs is given by the prediction-error method. This method tries to find the parameters which maximize the prediction capability of the corresponding model via the minimization of some chosen cost function that depends on the prediction error.

7. 5. Numerical Solution Methods in Stochastic Chemical Kinetics

   Author : Stefan Engblom; Per Lötstedt; Wilhelm Huisinga; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stochastic models; chemical master equation; mesoscopic kinetics; Markov property; jump process; moment closure problem; spectral-Galerkin method; high dimensional problem; hybrid methods; time-parallel; homogenization; Beräkningsvetenskap med inriktning mot numerisk analys; Scientific Computing with specialization in Numerical Analysis;

   Abstract : This study is concerned with the numerical solution of certain stochastic models of chemical reactions. Such descriptions have been shown to be useful tools when studying biochemical processes inside living cells where classical deterministic rate equations fail to reproduce actual behavior. READ MORE
