2. 1. Noise sensitivity and FK-type representations for Gaussian and stable processes

   Author : Malin Palö Forsström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; color representation; exclusion process; color process; Noise sensitivity; threshold stable vector; volatility; noise stability; interchange process; threshold Gaussian vector; multivariate stable distribution; Bernoulli random vector; mixing time;

   Abstract : This thesis contains four papers on probability theory. Paper A concerns the question of whether the exclusion sensitivity and exclusion stability of a sequence of Boolean functions are monotone with respect to adding edges to the underlying sequence of graphs. READ MORE

4. 2. An Arranged Marriage under Institutional Duality – The Local Integration Process between Two Globally Merging MNCs' Subsidiaries

   Author : Roger Schweizer; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; merger and acquisition; integration process; multinational company; subsidiary; institutional theory; institutional duality; relational context; arranged marriage;

   Abstract : "The thesis studies the local integration process between two globally merging multinational companies’ (MNCs) subsidiaries - a process, which is part of a concurrently ongoing global consolidation process and that has to be implemented in the two subsidiaries’ host country environment. The main question asked is how this specific setting influences the characteristics of the local integration process - such as the approach used, management styles applied, integration mechanisms employed, the physical and procedural solutions chosen, and not least the occurring human-related integration issues - as well as the outcome of the process.

6. 4. Development of Interdisciplinary Platforms Using System Objects

   Author : Jonas Landahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; product development; function-means modeling; configurable; product architecture; mass customization; concurrent engineering; interdisciplinary development; reconfigurable; production development; platform- based development; flexible; design reuse; adaptable; interchange of information; producibility; systems engineering;

   Abstract : Conceptually “form follows function”, as stated by Louis Sullivan. Physically however, form follows producibility.There is an erroneous notion that many customers can be provided with customized products, produced without any battle. READ MORE

7. 5. Analysis and optimisation of energy and environmental performance of an integrated steel plant by process integration

   Author : Mikael Larsson; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : The process industries stand for a substantial part of the energy used in Sweden. Industrial systems, such as an integrated steel plant, involve large interchange of energy between various processes and process streams. A major task for the steel industry is to minimize environmental impact, the consumption of energy and raw materials. READ MORE
