2. 16. Climate change and urban drainage : future precipitation and hydraulic impact

   Author : Mats Olofsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

   Abstract : Increasing global mean temperature influences the hydrologic cycle. In the 21st century, hydrologic change featuring more heavy precipitation events is very likely according to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC. This change will have a great impact on urban environments and infrastructures. READ MORE

4. 17. A Methodology for the Design of Cost Effective Hybrid Vehicles

   Author : Jonas Hellgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fuzzy logic; system engineering; model car; optimal design; evolutionary algorithms; hybrid electric vehicle; alternative powertrain; simulation; modeling; genetic algorithms; fuel cell vehicle; hybrid vehicle;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with system design of cost effective hybrid and fuel cell vehicles. Today (2004) the major disadvantages of these vehicles are increased complexity and component costs. However, the decrease in cost of electrical components and the environmental concern make these vehicles more and more competitive. READ MORE

5. 18. District heating system analysis and challenges within the urban transformation of Kiruna

   Author : Mattias Vesterlund; Jan Dahl; Henrik Saxen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; District heating; analysis; optimization; design; heat production; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : There is currently an ongoing urban transformation in a small Swedish town named Kiruna, it is located in the very north of Sweden well above the Arctic Circle in a sub-arctic climate. Large part of the town will be relocated due to the ground deformation that is caused by the progressing iron ore mining activity and it is affecting all infrastructures of the town. READ MORE

6. 19. Time, justice and the future of mobility : Essays in philosophy of transport
