2. 11. Oligarchs, State Power and Mass Opinion : A Study of the Role of Oligarchs in Post-Soviet Pseudo-democracies

   Author : Tigran Babajan; Staffan Andersson; Torbjörn Bergman; Karl Loxbo; Joakim Ekman; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; oligarchs; post-Soviet pseudo-democracies; state power abuse; mass opinion; oligarker; postsovjetiska pseudodemokratier; missbruk av statens makt; folkopinioner; Statsvetenskap; Political Science;

   Abstract : This thesis attempts to understand the role of oligarchs in post-Soviet pseudo-democratic regime trajectories. The two dominant, competing streams of prior work have emphasized either the importance of state power or that of mass opinion in these processes in order to explain why some regimes successfully maintain their grip on power, while others make gradual steps towards democratization.

4. 12. Machine Tool Dynamics - A constrained state-space substructuring approach

   Author : Anders Liljerehn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; State-space component synthesis; System identification; Receptance coupling; Chatter stability; Metal cutting; State-space models;

   Abstract : Metal cutting is today one of the leading forming processes in the manufacturing industry. The metal cutting industry houses several actors providing machine tools and cutting tools with a fierce competition as a consequence. Extensive efforts are made to improve the performance of both machine tools and cutting tools. READ MORE

5. 13. Capacity Control of Residential Heat Pump Heating Systems

   Author : Fredrik Karlsson; RISE; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy efficiency; variable-speed; air-source; performance; hydronic heating system; ground-source; heat pump; defrost; optimisation; circulator; capacity control;

   Abstract : Heat pumps used for space and sanitary hot water heating of residential buildings are increasingly popular in northern Europe. As they compete with other heating equipment and in order to limit the environmental impact of their use, it is very important that heat pumps are energy efficient. READ MORE

6. 14. Capacity assessment of arch bridges with backfill : Case of the old Årsta railway bridge

   Author : Andreas Andersson; Håkan Sundquist; Raid Karoumi; Clive Melbourne; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concrete arch bridge; soil backfill; spandrel walls; field measurements; finite element method; load distribution; ultimate limit state.; Betongbågbro; jordfyllning; sidomur; fältmätningar; finita element metoder; lastspridning; brottgränstillstånd.; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis comprises the assessment of existing arch bridges with overlying backfill. The main objective is to estimate the load carrying capacity in ultimate limit state analysis. A case study of the old Årsta railway bridge is presented, serving as both the initiation and a direct application of the present research. READ MORE

7. 15. Coding Schemes for Relay Networks

   Author : Majid Nasiri Khormuji; Mikael Skoglund; Gerhard Kramer; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Relay networks; capacity; decode-and-forward; amplify-andforward; compress-and-forward; nonlinear relaying; noisy network coding; hybrid relaying; Telecommunication; Telekommunikation;

   Abstract : Cooperative communications by pooling available resources—for example, power and bandwidth—across the network, is a distributed solution for providing robust wireless transmission. Motivated by contemporary applications in multi-hop transmission and ad hoc networks, the classical three-node relay channel (RC) consisting of a source–destination pair and a relay node has received a renewed attention.
