2. 26. FLEXIBLE FIXTURES - A TREATISE ON FIXTURE DESIGN AND EFFICIENCY

   Author : Ilker Erdem; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design; reconfigurable; Flexible; fixture; efficiency; tooling;

   Abstract : Even though a variety of efforts have been made in the area of flexible fixtures, the manufacturing industry still relies on dedicated fixtures with minor modular features. The main underlying reason, as these attempts have shown, is that the application of flexible fixtures has failed to yield the expected results, with the implemented technologies often leading to increased manufacturing costs when compared to dedicated fixtures.

4. 27. Heat Transfer and Energy Efficiency in Infrared Paper Dryers

   Author : Magnus Pettersson; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; experimental; modelling; electricity; gas; efficiency; energy; drying; dryer; heat transfer; radiation; paper; infrared; IR; coating; Chemical technology and engineering; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi;

   Abstract : Infrared (IR) dryers are widely used in the paper industry, mainly in the production of coated paper grades. The thesis deals with various aspects of heat transfer and energy use in infrared heaters and dryers as employed in the paper industry. Both gas-fired and electric IR dryers are considered and compared. READ MORE

5. 28. MATERIAL EFFICIENCY MANAGEMENT IN MANUFACTURING

   Author : Sasha Shahbazi; Magnus Wiktorsson; Marcus Bjelkemyr; Christina Jönsson; Thomas Lindhqvist; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Material efficiency; industrial waste management; manufacturing; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

   Abstract : Material efficiency is a key solution to provide a reduction in the total environmental impact of global manufacturing, which contributes to avoid generating larger volumes of industrial waste, to reduce extracting and consuming ever more resources and to decrease energy demand and carbon emissions. However, the area of material efficiency in manufacturing has been under-researched and related knowledge is limited. READ MORE

6. 29. Essays on University Efficiency Analysis and Entrepreneurship among University Graduates

   Author : Zara Daghbashyan; Björn Hårsman; Peter McGregor; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; universities; efficiency; entrepreneurship; education; graduates; arts education;

   Abstract : The thesis consists of five papers: three deal with the efficiency of higher education institutions (HEI) and two with entrepreneurship among university graduates. The efficiency of HEIs is analyzed at three different levels: units of one university, universities of one country and universities of a group of European countries. READ MORE

7. 30. Energy Efficiency in Shopping Malls : Some Aspects Based on a Case Study

   Author : Sofia Stensson; Jan-Olof Dalenbäck; Per Fahlén; Monica Axell; Jeffrey Spitler; Sweden Chalmers University of Technology; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shopping mall; energy use; energy efficiency; HVAC system; load patterns; case study; regulatory requirements; building code; and energy declarations;

   Abstract : The building sector accounts for approximately 40 percent of our energy use. To reach existing environmental targets energy use will have to be reduced in all building types. At the European level, the main legislative instrument for improving the energy efficiency of the building stock is the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). READ MORE
