  2. 1. Car movement patterns and the PHEV

    Author : Lars Henrik Björnsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PHEV; Sweden; PHEV viability; PHEV potential; car movement pattern; GPS logging; BEV; electrification; brake energy regeneration; battery size;

    Abstract : Roughly 30% of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions originate from transport and a majority of them from cars. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) avoids the range limitation of the fully electric vehicle while still allowing for a major share of the fuel to be replaced by electricity from the grid and can thereby reduce greenhouse gas emissions, local pollutants and energy security concerns.

  4. 2. Designing for Intercorporeality : An Interaction Design Approach to Technology-Supported Movement Learning

    Author : Laia Turmo Vidal; Annika Waern; Dag Svanæs; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Interaction Design; Movement Learning; Movement Teaching; Biofeedback; Wearables; Constructive Design Research; Research through Design; Practice Design; Soma Design; Technology Probes; Strong Concept; Movement Aesthetics; Människa-dator interaktion; Human-Computer Interaction;

    Abstract : Technology-supported movement learning has emerged as an area with ample possibilities within Human Computer Interaction and Interaction Design, as interactive technology can help people to develop and improve sensorimotor competencies. To date, design research has largely focused on technology development and on supporting individual learning experiences. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Nature of Women’s Career Development : Determinants and Consequences of Career Patterns

    Author : Qinghai Huang; Gunn Johansson; Lars Bergman; Magnus Sverke; Christian Dormann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; career patterns; life career; occupational career; life course; human agency; family context; job perception; work attitude; quality of life; allostatic load; wellbeing; person-oriented approach; life history approach; sequence analysis; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : Existing career theories are largely based on a stable working environment and have focused excessively on men and single work roles. In the postindustrial era, however, women’s careers, characterized by the constant negotiation of multiple roles and more frequent job changes, have had implications on the changing nature of careers.

  6. 4. On Battery Electric Vehicles: Driving Patterns, Multi-Car Households and Infrastructure

    Author : Niklas Jakobsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; BEV; battery size; individual movement pattern.; Electro-mobility; GPS-logging;

    Abstract : The transportation sector is responsible for a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Though the transport system may be difficult to change into a less polluting system, electric vehicles may be a possible approach. READ MORE

  7. 5. Simulation of individual cells in flow

    Author : Lailai Zhu; Luca Brandt; Michael Graham; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrodynamic interaction; swimming microorganisms; capsule; Stokes flow; finite element method; boundary integral method; general geometry Ewald method; spectral element method; viscoelastic fluid; cellular deformation; flow cytometry; cell sorting; microrheology; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, simulations are performed to study the motion ofindividual cells in flow, focusing on the hydrodynamics of actively swimming cells likethe self-propelling microorganisms, and of passively advected objects like the red bloodcells. In particular, we develop numerical tools to address the locomotion ofmicroswimmers in viscoelastic fluids and complex geometries, as well as the motion ofdeformable capsules in micro-fluidic flows.
