2. 16. Insurances against job loss and disability : Private and public interventions and their effects on job search and labor supply

   Author : Josefine Andersson; Anders Forslund; Stefan Eriksson; Michael Rosholm; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Employment Security Agreements; job search assistance; job loss; notification; lump-sum severance grant; liquidity effect; disability insurance; financial incentives; continuous deduction; regression discontinuity design; propensity score matching; nearest neighbor matching; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Abstract : Essay I: Employment Security Agreements, which are elements of Swedish collective agreements, offer a unique opportunity to study very early job search counselling of displaced workers. These agreements provide individual job search assistance to workers who are dismissed due to redundancy, often as early as during the period of notice. READ MORE

4. 17. Quantitative New Keynesian Macroeconomics and Monetary Policy

   Author : Peter Welz; Nils Gottfries; Annika Alexius; Paul Söderlind; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; New Keynesian Economics; Monetary Policy; Bayesian Econometrics; Nationalekonomi; Economics; Nationalekonomi; nationalekonomi; Economics;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of four self-contained essays.Essay 1 compares the dynamic behaviour of an estimated New Keynesian sticky-price model with one-period delayed effects of monetary policy shocks to the dynamics of a structural vector autoregression model. The model is estimated with Bayesian techniques on German pre-EMU data. READ MORE

5. 18. Design of Optimal Control Processes for Closed-Loop Chain SCARA-Like Robots

   Author : Mathias R Lidberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; unpowered actuator.; SCARA-robot; closed-loop chain; manipulator;

   Abstract : The design of optimal control processes for closed-loop chain SCARA-like robots is the subject of this thesis. In comparison with the well-known SCARA robot, the proposed new structure is characterized by the incorporation of an additional powered actuator, several unpoweredactuators and an additional link that gives a closed-loop chain robot.

6. 19. Geometric Computer Vision for Rolling-shutter and Push-broom Sensors

   Author : Erik Ringaby; Per-Erik Forssén; Anders Heyden; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rolling shutter cmos video rectification stabilisation push-broom kinect;

   Abstract : Almost all cell-phones and camcorders sold today are equipped with a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor and there is also a general trend to incorporate CMOS sensors in other types of cameras. The sensor has many advantages over the more conventional CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) sensor such as lower power consumption, cheaper manufacturing and the potential for on-chip processing.

7. 20. The future load curve of the Swedish building stock – Interactions between the heating load and district heating

   Author : Dmytro Romanchenko; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal energy storage; District heating; demand response; buildings; optimisation; space heating;

   Abstract : In line with global efforts directed against climate change, the building sector is required to undergo significant changes in terms of its energy management. This is the case for both the use of energy (reduced energy consumption) and the supply of energy (heat and electricity), and how these two interact. READ MORE
