  2. 1. Conceptual Politics in Practice : How Soft Power Changed the World

    Author : Stephanie Christine Winkler; Mark Rhinard; Linus Hagström; Patrick Thaddeus Jackson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; academia policy nexus; alliance; China; concepts; critical concept studies; decline; feedback loops; interaction effects; International Relations; Japan; power shift; power; reification; rise; science; security; sharp power; smart power; soft power; travel; United States; internationella relationer; International Relations;

    Abstract : Concepts are a key feature of academic research and international politics. Despite the fact that interpreting, classifying and communicating the world through concepts has far-reaching social and political consequences, their various roles and complex dynamics remain poorly understood in International Relations (IR).

  4. 2. InP High Electron Mobility Transistors for Cryogenic Low-Noise and Low-Power Amplifiers

    Author : Eunjung Cha; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; indium channel content; electrical stability.; dc power dissipation; noise temperature; scaling; low-noise amplifier LNA ; InP high-electron mobility transistor InP HEMT ; cryogenic;

    Abstract : The InAlAs/InGaAs/InP high-electron mobility transistor (InP HEMT) is the preferred low-noise device in cryogenic low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) operating at 5-15 K. Such LNAs are utilized in microwave and millimeter-wave detection in radio astronomy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Energy Use, Efficiency Gains and Emission Abatement in Transitional Industrialised Economies: Poland and the Baltic States

    Author : Jürgen Salay; Miljö- och energisystem; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; implementation; sustainable energy; renewable energy; electricity production; power industry; Baltic states; Poland; transition; sulphur dioxide; air pollution; energy efficiency; Energy; energy use; Environmental technology; pollution control; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Energy research; Energiforskning;

    Abstract : This thesis is a study of how energy use and air pollution in Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been affected by the economic transition after 1989. It consists of six articles, which examine three different aspects of these changes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Developing Computational Methods for Moored Floating Wave Energy Devices

    Author : Johannes Palm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wave Power; RANS simulations; Discontinuous Galerkin; Mooring Dynamics;

    Abstract : Floating point absorbers are a common class of wave-power devices typically designed to move with large amplitude in energetic waves. This stands in sharp contrast to traditional marine design, where the wave-excited motions of the structure are preferably kept to a minimum. READ MORE

  7. 5. Fundamental Limitations of Distributed Feedback Control in Large-Scale Networks

    Author : Emma Tegling; Henrik Sandberg; Ali Jadbabaie; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Distributed control; Large-scale systems; networked control; decentralized control; fundamental limitations; networked systems; frequency control; smart grid; consensus; spatial invariance; power system dynamics; microgrids; vehicular formation systems; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Networked systems accomplish global behaviors through local feedback interactions. The purpose of a distributed control design is to select interaction rules and control protocols that achieve desired global control objectives. READ MORE
