  2. 21. Fibre-reinforced Concrete for Industrial Construction - a fracture mechanics approach to material testing and structural analysis

    Author : Ingemar Lövgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; in-situ cast; non-linear; self-compacting; fibre-reinforced; concrete;

    Abstract : ABSTRACTMore efficient and industrialised construction methods are both necessary for thecompetitiveness of in-situ concrete and essential if the construction industry is to moveforward. At present, the expenditure on labour (preparation and dismantling offormwork, reinforcing, and casting and finishing of concrete) almost equals the cost ofmaterial. READ MORE

  4. 22. Essays in Industry Dynamics on Imperfectly Competitive Markets

    Author : Florin G. Maican; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; industry dynamics; imperfect competition; dynamic oligopoly model; productivity dynamics; service markets; structural estimation; R D; IT services; retail food;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four empirical essays on imperfectly competitive markets. Entry of large (“big-box”) stores along with a drastic fall in the total number of stores is a striking trend in retail markets. The first essay uses a dynamic structural model to estimate total factor productivity in retail. READ MORE

  5. 23. On modelling of postglacial gravity change

    Author : Per-Anders Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; accurate predictions of the gravity change are important for e.g. reductions of geodetic observations to a reference epoch. During the last decade; Glacial isostatic adjustment GIA is the Earth s response to glacial-induced load variations on its surface. This phenomenon can today be observed in; contribute different and complemental information on the phenomenon. Knowledge of the gravitational component is important for understanding the underlying geodynamical processes. Further; such as vertical and horizontal deformation of the crust; efforts to observe the surface gravity change in Fennoscandia have been intensified and the observational accuracy successively improved. This offers new possibilities at the same time as it puts new demands on modelling. The purpose of this thesis is to study some aspects of the modelling of GIA-induced gravity change; North America and Fennoscandia. Different observables; relative sea level change and disturbances in the gravity field; for example;

    Abstract : Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is the Earth's response to glacial-induced load variations on its surface. This phenomenon can today be observed in, for example, North America and Fennoscandia. READ MORE

  6. 24. Savings, investment, and economic reforms in developing countries

    Author : Sara Johansson; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This dissertation consists of four chapters. Chapter 1: Introduction and summary of the thesis. This thesis consists of three essays (chapters 2-4) within the field of macroeconomics and development. The purpose of this first chapter is to provide an overview of the issues covered and the results obtained. READ MORE

  7. 25. Design and Optimization of CO2 sorbents for Point Source Emissions and Direct Air Capture

    Author : Ribooga Chang; Ocean Cheung; Jean-Francois Boily; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CCS; CO2 Sorbents; Direct Air Capture;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the design and optimization of CO2 sorbents, targeting two distinct applications: CO2 capture from point source emissions and Direct Air Capture (DAC). The research first introduces Na2HfO3 as a potential CO2 sorbent for point source emissions, using the molten salt effects of Na2CO3 and the thermal stability of HfO2. READ MORE
