  2. 6. Valuing environmental benefits using the contingent valuation method : an econometric analysis

    Author : Bengt Kriström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; environmental benefits; contingent valuation; econometrics; discrete response data; continuous and discrete valuation questions; cost-benefit analysis;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to investigate methods for assessing the value people place on preserving our natural environments and resources. It focuses on the contingent valuation method, which is a method for directly asking people about their preferences. READ MORE

  4. 7. Efficient and Reliable Communication in Distributed Embedded Systems

    Author : Vilgot Claesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The use of distributed computing elements has grown in the embedded systems arena, consequently the use of shared communication media linking these computers has garnered increasing attention. Two prominent and contemporary media sharing approaches include variations of controlled and contention based media access paradigms, with the time-triggered (TT) and the event-triggered (ET) approaches, respectively, being prominent manifestations of these paradigms.

  5. 8. Light scattering in two-dimensional inhomogeneous paper : Analysis using general radiative transfer theory

    Author : Madhuri Nukala; Egmont Porten; Jana Mendrok; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Modeling light scattering is important in diverse reasearch fields such as paper and print, optical tomography, remote sensing and also in computer rendering of im­ages. Particularly in paper and printing industry light scattering simulations play a significant role in understanding the optical response of paper in relation to its properties. READ MORE

  6. 9. Income and Fuel Price Elasticities of Car Use

    Author : Carl Berry; Maria Börjesson; Elisabeth Lång; Rob Hart; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Income elasticity; Fuel price elasticity; Car use; Car ownership; Registry data; Discrete-continuous model;

    Abstract : Understanding how car travel and ownership respond to income and fuel prices, and how that response varies between households is crucial for car use policies and forecasts. This thesis, consisting of two papers, aims to investigate this by estimating the intemporal income and fuel price elasticities of car use using micro registry panel data on all Swedish households from 1998 to 2018.

  7. 10. Frequency Analysis of Sampled-Data Systems Applied to a Lime Slaking Process

    Author : Olof Lindgärde; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; periodic systems; intersample behavior; sampled-data system; lime slaking; multirate sampling; frequency analysis; tank reactor; product inhibited; modeling;

    Abstract : Single-rate and multirate sampled-data (SD) systems as well as linear time periodic (LTP) systems with discrete jumps are analyzed in the frequency domain. The focus of the analysis is both on rejection of disturbances and on robust stability properties. READ MORE
