  2. 6. Industrial development of car disassembly - ergonomics and system performance

    Author : Karolina Kazmierczak; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; physical workloads; production systems; muskelsystem; reumatologi; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muscle system; Skeleton; flow and human simulations; video-task analysis; rationalizations; car disassembly; musculoskeletal disorders; Technological sciences; Teknik;

    Abstract : A new EU directive on used vehicles has recently been introduced. It demands that for every scrapped car, at least 85% by weight must be recycled by the year 2006 and 95% by 2015. The current level is about 80%. The car disassembly industry was chosen as the study object of this thesis. READ MORE

  4. 7. Production and Structural Dynamics of Microbial Rhodopsins

    Author : Cecilia Wickstrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacteriorhodopsin; channelrhodopsin; time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography;

    Abstract : Rhodopsins are a family of membrane proteins that are found in a wide range of organisms and provide them with the ability to sense and react to light. When light is absorbed by these proteins, structural changes occur that initiate the pumping of protons, opening of a channel or signal transfer. READ MORE

  5. 8. Fatigue properties of cut and welded high strength steels : Quality aspects in design and production

    Author : Thomas Stenberg; Zuheir Barsoum; Kenneth Alasdair MacDonald; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Welding; Fatigue assessment; Cutting; Weld quality; Fatigue design; Fracture Mechanics; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis concerns fatigue of welded structures. Welding is one of the world’s most common joining methods and it is frequently used in several structural applications in many fields. Some examples are construction vehicles, loader cranes, trucks, busses, forestry and agricultural machines, bridges and ships. READ MORE

  6. 9. Human-centred design for maritime technology and organizational change

    Author : Nicole Almeida Costa; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; participatory ergonomics; organizational change; technology acceptance; digitalization; systems theory; e-Navigation; human-centred design;

    Abstract : Context: The shipping industry is undergoing a transitional phase at different levels, including IMO’s e-Navigation initiative, and with this comes the need to use a human-centred design (HCD) approach to avoid accidents linked to automation issues, and to cater for the maintenance of safety and efficiency within this global transport system. Aims: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the value and challenges in HCD practice and how ergonomics/human factors (E/HF) principles can be introduced, as well as what gaps and opportunities exist in current standard operations and technologies in navigation that can potentially be followed upon by future e-Navigation developments, not only from a technological perspective but also regulatory, operational etc. READ MORE

  7. 10. A design-build contractor risk assessment framework for new technical solutions in the construction industry

    Author : Charlotte Svensson Tengberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Moisture safety; Hygrothermal performance; risk assessment; Design–build contractor; Serial failure; New technical solutions;

    Abstract : Design–build contractors are often challenged to introduce new technical solutions into construction projects. However, they might not have methods and resources required to avoid serial failure, which is defined as multiple cases of failure when a technical solution fails to sustain the performance requirements.
