    Abstract : The history of surgery is nearly as old as the human race. Control of wound infection has always been an essential part of any surgical procedure, and is still an important challenge in hospital operating rooms today. For patients undergoing surgery there is always a risk that they will develop some kind of postoperative complication. READ MORE

    Abstract : The current data center architectures based on blade servers and elec- tronic packet switches face several problems, e.g., limited resource utilization, high power consumption and cost, when handling the rapidly growing of data traffic. READ MORE

  6. 4. Producing Publicness : Investigating the Dialectics of Unintended Consequences in Urban Design  - Practices in Stockholm and Malmö

    Author : ELAHE KARIMNIA; TIGRAN HAAS; INGA BRITT WERNER; MAHYAR AREFI; CHARLES BOHL; KTH; []
    Keywords : Urban Design Process; Publicness; Public Space; Appropriation of Space; Intentions and Outcomes; Unintended Consequences; Stockholm; Malmö; Stadsbyggnadsprocess; social offentlighet; offentliga rum; ianspråktagande av miljön; avsikter och utfall; oavsiktliga konsekvenser; Stockholm; Malmö; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis; Arkitektur; Architecture;

    Abstract : The creation of public space is intended to contribute to the civic infrastructure of a city. The conventional dichotomy of intentions versus outcomes in urban design practice posits that, while intentions represent more abstract thinking about the various facets of publicness, outcomes are the manifest realizations of those intentions in public spaces.

  7. 5. Solar Shading for Low Energy Use and Daylight Quality in Offices: Simulations, Measurements and Design Tools

    Author : Marie-Claude Dubois; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; screens; venetian blinds; awnings; design tools; measurements; computer simulations; solar-protective glass; heating; cooling; visual comfort; daylighting; energy use; Shading devices; solar protection; Architecture; interior design; Arkitektur; inredningsarkitektur; Energy research; Energiforskning;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the impact of solar shading devices on energy use and daylight quality in office rooms. The impact on energy use is analysed through computer simulations with the dynamic energy simulation program Derob-LTH while the impact on daylight quality is investigated through measurements in full-scale experimental office rooms and simulations with the program Radiance.
