2. 21. A Numerical Study of Reacting Flows Using Finite Rate Chemistry

   Author : Mohammad Irannezhad; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Combustion modeling; Lean blow off; Finite rate chemistry; Inlet boundary condition; Combustion; Lean premixed; Engine configuration; Pulse Detonation Engine; Emissions; URANS; Unsteady phenomena; Flame stabilization; Low Swirl Burner; Large Eddy Simulation; Dynamic flame; Working cycle;

   Abstract : Fossil fuels will remain the main source of energy for mankind in theforeseeable future. Heat released in combustion of fossil fuels is alwaysaccompanied by emission of undesired pollutants. Environmental concernshave led to stringent emission rules for combustion industry speciallyfor reducing the amount of NOx production. READ MORE

4. 22. Relay Feedback and Multivariable Control

   Author : Karl Henrik Johansson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; robotics; Automation; Frequency methods; Process control; Sequential control; Automatic tuning; Control education; Laboratory process; Performance limitations; Decentralized control; Multivariable zero; Multivariable systems; Hybrid control; Nonlinear dynamics; Limit cycles; Oscillations; Relay feedback; Sliding modes; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

   Abstract : This doctoral thesis treats three issues in control engineering related to relay feedback and multivariable control systems. Linear systems with relay feedback is the first topic. Such systems are shown to exhibit several interesting behaviors. READ MORE

5. 23. Life history evolution during a climate-driven butterfly range expansion

   Author : Mats Ittonen; Karl Gotthard; Philipp Lehmann; Christopher Wheat; Sarah Diamond; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climate change; diapause; genomics; insect cold tolerance; life cycle; local adaptation; parallel evolution; photoperiodism; reciprocal transplant; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

   Abstract : Climate change pushes species polewards and upwards – as temperatures rise, species move to areas that were previously too cold for them. During range expansions, species encounter unfamiliar environmental conditions, which may require evolutionary adaptation, but expanding populations may often be hampered by their genetic and demographic properties.

6. 24. Sustainable Packaging of Organic Food: Myth or Reality?

   Author : Helena Lindh; Förpackningslogistik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Packaging; Features; Functions; Food; Organic; Life cycle; Eco; Sustainable Packaging; Development; Design;

   Abstract : Previous research has argued that packaging has a great potential to contribute to sustainable development, but how to put this potential into practice is not yet fully explored. The theoretical foundation of the research presented is at the intersection of packaging logistics and sustainable development. READ MORE

7. 25. Green procurement of buildings: estimation of environmental impact and life-cycle cost

   Author : Eva Sterner; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel Structures; Stålbyggnad; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on environmental impact reduction and life-cycle cost estimations in building procurement. The aim for the work presented in this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of whether costs and environmental impact of a building can be integrated in a, from the users perspective, practical model applied for tender evaluation.
