  2. 1. Indoor emissions and fate of flame retardants : A modelling approach

    Author : Ioannis Liagkouridis; Ian Cousins; Anna Palm Cousins; Thomas McKone; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; flame retardants; BFRs; OPFRs; indoor environment; emissions; fate; modelling; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : A significant number of consumer goods and building materials act as emission sources of flame retardants (FRs) in the indoor environment. As a result, FRs have become ubiquitous indoors raising concerns about human exposure and possible health implications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Issues of Complex Hierarchical Data and Multilevel Analysis : Applications in Empirical Economics

    Author : Joel Karlsson; Ghazi Shukur; Håkan Locking; Scott Hacker; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Multilevel modelling; Hierarchical modelling; Single farm payments; Part-time unemployment; Educational attainment; Performance evaluation; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four individual essays and an introduction chapter. The essays are in the field of multilevel analysis of economic data. The first essay estimates capitalisation effects of farm attributes, with a particular focus on single farm payments (SFP), into the price of farms. READ MORE

  5. 3. An Empirical Investigation of Using Models During Requirements Engineering in the Automotive Industry

    Author : Grischa Liebel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Empirical Research; Automotive Engineering; Modelling; Requirements Engineering; Software Engineering; Model-Based Engineering;

    Abstract : Context: The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation from a manufacturing industry towards an industry that relies heavily on software. As one of the main factors for project success, requirements engineering (RE) plays a major role in this transition. READ MORE

  6. 4. Modelling and Analysis of Probabilistic Networks

    Author : Amin Kaveh; Matteo Magnani; Christian Rohner; Aristides Gionis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Probabilistic Networks; Local Measures; Modelling; Clustering; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : As empirical data collection and inference is often an imperfect process, and many systems can be represented as networks, it is important to develop modelling and analysis methods for imperfect network data. The main focus of this dissertation is the probabilistic network model G = (V, E, p) in which each edge is associated with an independent existence probability. READ MORE

  7. 5. Analysis and Modelling of Desalination Brines

    Author : Raed Bashitialshaaer; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Modelling.; Field data analysis; Negatively buoyant jet; Experiment; Brine discharge; Desalination; Water supply;

    Abstract : Seawater desalination constitutes an important water supply to the population bordering the Arabian Gulf, the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. The three regions represent about 11.8% of the world land area and the countrieshosted approximately 9% of the world population in 1950 and 2008 and are also projected to do so in 2050. READ MORE
