  2. 1. In-situ assessment of timber structures - Assessment methods and case studies

    Author : Thomas Lechner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; non-destructive testing NDT ; historical structures; density; In-situ assessment; timber structures; mechanical properties; assessment methods; X-ray;

    Abstract : In the assessment of timber structures, diagnostic investigations with reference to the condition and structural performance of these structures are necessary and often require appropriate health monitoring techniques. This thesis covers four aspects within the research area of the in-situ assessment of timber structures based on scientific knowledge and guidelines to perform assessment of existing timber structures:IDetermination of density of wood with portable X-rayThe mechanical performance of timber is often strongly related to the density of wood.

    Abstract : The product model approach for the construction industry is fairly new subject field, especially the implementation of the result in the building process. The aim of the research and the contribution to the goal of better utilize processes is shortly described below. READ MORE

  5. 3. Integrated Cellulosic Wood Aerogel Structures

    Author : Jonas Garemark; Yuanyuan Li; Lars Berglund; Gustav Nyström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aerogel; cellulose; energy harvesting; ionic liquids; nanotechnology; wood; thermal insulation; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : Highly porous aerogels based on renewable materials that possess structural functionality are appealing for sustainable energy regulation and harvesting. Achieving structural anisotropy provides advantageous directional diffusion and mechanical strength, however, introduces great engineering challenges, such as complex, costly, and time-consuming processing.

  6. 4. Threatening and Appropriate Bodies in Nation Building: Paths to the World’s 1st Female Parliamentary Majority in Post-Genocide Rwanda

    Author : Christopher Kayumba; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : women; opportunity structures; representation; presence; war; genocide; political systems; electoral systems; gender; nationalism; ethnicity; ideology; missing men; reserved seats; quotas; parliament;

    Abstract : While Rwanda first attracted the world’s attention for the genocide that took place in 1994, 16 years later the country is capturing interest because it now has the highest number of women in its parliament than in any other country in the world. After the first post-genocide legislative elections, in 2003, about 49% of elected legislators in the lower house of Parliament were women. READ MORE

  7. 5. Media processes for content production : Studies of structures and climate impacts

    Author : Malin Picha Edwardsson; Johan Stenberg; Nils Enlund; Åsa Moberg; Gunnar Nygren; KTH; []
    Keywords : media; work processes; content production; LCA; climate impacts; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

    Abstract : The business environment in which media companies exist today is rapidly changing. Many media companies are in the process of positioning themselves to this ongoing change and to finding their place in the new media landscape. A process of change creates an opportunity to optimize work processes on different levels. READ MORE
