  2. 1. The Lure of Origins : An Inquiry into Human-Environmental Relations, Focused on the ”Neolithization” of Sweden

    Author : Per Johansson; Humanekologi; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Neolithization; Origins research; Organism concept; Artifact concept; Person concept; Ecological relations; Human-environment relations; Human ecology; Umwelt concept; Symbolism; Archaeology; Tim Ingold; Early Neolithic in Sweden; Cultural anthropology; ethnology; Arkeologi; Kulturantropologi; etnologi;

    Abstract : The purpose of this dissertation is to contribute to the discussion of the deeper meaning, in our contemporary context, of the ”neolithization” of Sweden. The basis for the investigation is twofold: * a critical examination of recent research reports dealing mostly with the Early Neolithic of (Middle) Sweden which shows, inter alia, that ”agriculture” was of marginal importance for a very long time from about 4000 BC onwards, while, at the same time, the idea of ”the transition to farming” dominates discourse.

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In this dissertation, energy efficient hydraulic systems are studied. The research focuses on solutions for linear actuators in mobile applications, with emphasis on construction machines. Alongside the aspect of energy efficiency, the thesis deals with competing aspects in hydraulic system design found in the development of construction machines. READ MORE

  7. 5. On Complex Hydrostatic Transmissions : Design of a Two-Motor Concept using Computer-Aided Development Tools

    Author : Mikael Sannelius; Jan Wikander; Stockholm Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Hydrostatic drives are being used in heavy, low-speed vehicles to an ever-increasing extent. The reason for this is that a number of advantages can be achieved such as stepless gear ratios, simple power distribution and high stiffness. Increased demands have led to an interest for new conceptual designs for hydrostatic transmissions. READ MORE
