2. 1. Assessment of tools for environmentally preferable procurement with a life cycle perspective : the case of acquisition in Swedish defence

   Author : Elisabeth Hochschorner; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical engineering; Acquisition; Ecodesign tools; Life Cycle Assessment; LCA; MECO; Public procurement; Simplified; Kemiteknik; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : Procurement in public and non-public organisations has the potential to influence product development towards more environmentally preferable products. In 2003, public procurement in Sweden was 28% of GDP. Different types of approaches can contribute some knowledge and thereby facilitate the choice of environmentally preferable products. READ MORE

4. 2. Life Cycle Thinking in Environmentally Preferable Procurement

   Author : Elisabeth Hochschorner; Göran Finnveden; Anna Björklund; Ann-Marie Tillman; KTH; []
   Keywords : Life Cycle Thinking; Life Cycle Assessment; Environmental Procurement; Life Cycle Costing; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Products generate environmental impacts during their life cycle by consuming raw materials and energy, releasing emissions and producing waste. A procurement organisation can be a considerable driving force for more environmentally friendly products e.g. by requiring that products meet certain environmental criteria. READ MORE

5. 3. Millimeter-Wave Radar for Low-Power Applications

   Author : Sebastian Heunisch; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gesture Recognition; Material Characterization; Radar; Reflectrometry; Resonant-Tunnelling Diode; Wavelet Generator; Wideband Millimeter-Wave Circuits;

   Abstract : Radar technology has developed rapidly during the last century. Besides its initial use for military, it is nowadays also applied for many civil applications. Improvements in circuit technology make integrated radar sensors possible, allowing a significant reduction of the production cost. READ MORE

6. 4. Multidimensional MRI  of Myocardial Dynamics : Acquisition, Reconstruction and Visualization

   Author : Andreas Sigfridsson; Hans Knutsson; Sebastian Kozerke; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MRI; Cardiac motion; myocardial dynamics; strain; tensor; deformation; DENSE; k-t BLAST; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

   Abstract : Methods for measuring deformation and motion of the human heart in-vivo are crucial in the assessment of cardiac function. Applications ranging from basic physiological research, through early detection of disease to follow-up studies, all rely on the quality of the measurements of heart dynamics. READ MORE

7. 5. Entrepreneurial Dynamics and Acquisitions of New Technology-Based Firms

   Author : Jing Xiao; Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Business groups; New technology-based firms NTBFs ; Acquisitions; Entrepreneurial dynamics; Acquisition effects; Survival; Firm growth; Business cycle; Multinational enterprises MNEs ; Longitudinal data; Discrete-time duration models; Competition risks models; Fixed effects model; Inverse-probability-of-treatment weights IPTW ; Sweden;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to explore the evolution of new technology-based firms (NTBFs) based on solid empirical material for the Swedish economy. NTBFs are argued to be one important type of entrepreneurial firms that contribute to technology change, knowledge spillovers, and economic growth. READ MORE
