  2. 11. Decision support for complex planning challenges - Combining expert systems, engineering-oriented modeling, machine learning, information theory, and optimization technology

    Author : Larry M. Deschaine; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; optimization; energy; model mixing; analytic hierarchy processes; data modelling engineering-oriented modelling; environmental; and MEC; UXO; model blending; Decision analysis; machine learning;

    Abstract : This thesis develops an approach for addressing complex industrial planning challenges. The approach provides advice to select and blend modeling techniques that produce implementable optimal solutions. Industrial applications demonstrate its effectiveness. READ MORE

  4. 12. A decision-making framework for enhancing client well-being : When designing windows and blinds

    Author : Elaheh Jalilzadehazhari; Jimmy Johansson; Krushna Mahapatra; Peter Johansson; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Value creation; Well-being; Multi-criteria decision-making; Analytical hierarchy process; Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II; Technology acceptance model; Värdskap; Välbefinnandet; Multikriterieanalys vid beslutsfattning; Analytical hierarchy process; Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II; Technology acceptance model; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

    Abstract : The current state of window and blind design moves beyond evaluating a single function, such as energy consumption, to include a human perspective in architectural design approach to create value. A current thought among architects and design professionals is that the highest value outcomes can be obtained when any architectural design contributes to enhanced well-being. READ MORE

  5. 13. Energy efficiency, district heating and waste management : essays on environmental economics

    Author : Alejandro Egüez; Runar Brännlund; Thomas Broberg; Patrik Söderholm; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; energy efficiency gap; principal-agent; split incentives; ownership; energy performance certificates; quasi-natural experiment; policy evaluation; district heating prices; natural monopoly; waste management; EU waste hierarchy; policy stringency; policy enforcement; Economics; nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : Paper [I] investigates the energy efficiency of multi-dwelling buildings in Sweden to find out whether the ownership type matters. More specifically, we investigate whether rental apartment buildings are less energy efficient than cooperative apartment buildings and whether public ownership has a negative impact on energy efficiency.

  6. 14. Between the lines : gambling among athletes and coaches in four elite sports

    Author : Maria Vinberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background and aim: Knowledge of how gambling and problem gambling are distributed in different societal groups is valuable for developing preventive initiatives. Considering the financial connections between sports and the gambling industry, as well as the structural and cultural aspects of sports employment, we need more knowledge of gambling and problem gambling in this setting.

  7. 15. Model Adaptivity in Elasticity

    Author : David Heintz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; finite element method; dimension reduction; a posteriori error; model error; model adaptivity; model error;

    Abstract : We consider model adaptivity in elasticity for dimensionally reduced forms, and shall treat different conceptual approaches. The basic idea, however, is to adaptively refine, not only the computational mesh, but also the underlying mathematical formulation. READ MORE
