  2. 1. Enriching Automated Travel Diaries Using Biometric Information

    Author : Robin C. O. Palmberg; Yusak O. Susilo; Gyözö Gidofalvi; Clas Rydergren; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    Abstract : The methods for collecting travel data about travellers today incorporate either fully manual or semi-automatic elements, which makes the methods susceptible to errors. The travellers might respond subjectively rather than objectively or even wholly incorrect, albeit with or without purpose. READ MORE

    Abstract : The objective of this dissertation is to develop a theoretical and analytical framework for understanding the political in education from a social and global perspective. With this objective in mind, it employs an empirical engagement and theoretical reflection on how this political can be seen to emerge in policy making on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).

    Abstract : Fossil fuels have greatly improved human living standards and saved countless lives. However, today, their continued use threatens human survival, as CO2 levels rise at an unprecedented pace to levels never seen during human existenceon earth. READ MORE

  6. 4. Reflector Optimization for Low Concentration Photovoltaic-Thermal Solar Collectors

    Author : Diogo Cabral; Hans Wigö; Björn O. Karlsson; Maria João Carvalho; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Photovoltaic-thermal collector; experimental assessment; collector performance assessment; optical efficiency; concentrating PVT solar collector; ray tracing; Fotovoltaisk-termisk kollektor; experimentell utvärdering; prestandautvärdering; optisk effektivitet; koncentrerande PVT-solfångare; strålgångsanalys;

    Abstract : The alarming new global warming and increasing awareness related to climate change (mainly due to the high emissions of carbon dioxide) in recent decades linked all nations into a common cause, which requires ambitious efforts to combat climate change by adapting energy systems to its effects.The knowledge gain presented in this dissertation establishes the foundations for the development of a more efficient concentrating photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) solar collector.

  7. 5. Specification and synthesis of plans using the features and fluents framework

    Author : Lars O Karlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : An autonomous agent operating in a dynamical environment will face a number of different reasoning problems, one of which is how to plan its actions in order to pursue its goals. For this purpose, it is important that the agent represents its knowledge about the world in a coherent, expressive and well-understood way, in our case the temporal logics from Erik Sandewall's ”Features and Fluents” framework.
