  2. 21. Calibration of Urban Network Capacities

    Author : Guang Wei; Gunnar Flötteröd; Joakim Ekström; Zhenliang Ma; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Capacity of a road in an urban network is defined as the maximum number of vehicles which could pass this road in a unit time. Since travel delays occur when the travel demand exceeds the capacity, performance of congestion estimation strongly depends on capacity values. READ MORE

  4. 22. Water for a few : a history of urban water and sanitation in East Africa

    Author : David Nilsson; Arne Kaijser; Gunilla Andrae; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; urban water; urban sanitation; urban history; development studies; African history; environmental history; large technical systems; socio-technical systems; institutional change; public service; History of technology; Teknikhistoria;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis describes and analyses the modern history of the socio-technical systems for urban water supply and sanitation in East Africa with focus on Uganda and Kenya. The key objective of the thesis is to evaluate to what extent the historic processes frame and influence the water and sanitation services sectors in these countries today. READ MORE

  5. 23. Computation of Parameters in some Mathematical Models

    Author : Gunilla Wikström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; inverse problems; parameter estimation; systems of ordinary differential equations; short-cut methods; separable nonlinear least squares problems; Matlab toolbox for nonlinear least squares ; linear systems of equations; pseudoinverse solution; perturbation theory; singular value decomposition; experimental error analysis; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : In computational science it is common to describe dynamic systems by mathematical models in forms of differential or integral equations. These models may contain parameters that have to be computed for the model to be complete. READ MORE

  6. 24. Evolutionary Consequences of Reproductive Strategies : Testing Theory on Sex and Reproductive Gene Evolution in the Fungal Model Neurospora

    Author : Kristiina Nygren; Hanna Johannesson; Tatiana Giraud; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I used the filamentous ascomycete genus Neurospora as a model to test theoretical predictions on the evolutionary consequences of different reproductive strategies and reproductive gene evolution. The genus Neurospora contains taxa representing a diversity of reproductive strategies, and here I constructed a phylogeny by which I was able to show that several independent transitions in reproductive mode have occurred in the evolutionary history of the genus.

  7. 25. Fighter Aircraft Maneuver Limiting Using MPC : Theory and Application

    Author : Daniel Simon; Johan Löfberg; Torkel Glad; Jan Maciejowski; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Model predictive control; flight control;

    Abstract : Flight control design for modern fighter aircraft is a challenging task. Aircraft are dynamical systems, which naturally contain a variety of constraints and nonlinearities such as, e.g., maximum permissible load factor, angle of attack and control surface deflections. READ MORE
