  2. 1. A living systems approach to product design and development

    Author : Parviz Ahari; KTH; []
    Keywords : product design and development; living systems theory; needs; managing complesity; modeling; systems thinking; ;

    Abstract : Product development is a complex activity that involvespeople with different expertise, financial resources,materials, and machines. Organizations that carry out theseprocesses and their products are in fact living and artificialsystems. READ MORE

  4. 2. Privacy-by-Design for Cyber-Physical Systems

    Author : Zuxing Li; Tobias Oechtering; Joakim Jaldén; Stefano Marano; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cyber-physical system; hypothesis testing; information theory; Markov decision process; privacy; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : It is envisioned that future cyber-physical systems will provide a more convenient living and working environment. However, such systems need inevitably to collect and process privacy-sensitive information. That means the benefits come with potential privacy leakage risks. READ MORE

  5. 3. Challenges in Enzyme Catalysis - Photosystem II and Orotidine Decarboxylase : A Density Functional Theory Treatment

    Author : Marcus Lundberg; Margareta Blomberg; Per Siegbahn; Jeremy Harvey; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photosystem II; oxyl radical; manganese systems; orotidine decarboxylase; reaction mechanism; density functional theory; Quantum chemistry; Kvantkemi;

    Abstract : Possibly the most fascinating biochemical mechanism remaining to be solved is the formation of oxygen from water in photosystem II. This is a critical part of the photosynthetic reaction that makes solar energy accessible to living organisms. READ MORE

  6. 4. An analysis of architectural and urban planning strategies for developing energy efficient cities in China
