NIMCO Controls AB is a company located in Malmö, Sweden, that manufactures hydraulic valves mainly for the farming industry. They proposed me to work on three independent design projects to renew their product range. The first topic was a platform research for handgrips. As the company uses lots of different lever systems that need a handle, the main objective was to design a platform which deriva
Bangladesh is known to be the country worst hit by environmental changes at the same time as it is a densely populated country in South Asia. Questions of climate change have been debated during the last decades and the voices of the affected have now also been heard. Bangladesh will lose land as the sea level rises and floods occur more often. People have to escape these challenges and move to a
Computer simulation and modelling was used to simulate a real time environment in preparative chromatography to evaluate the performance of three different strategies for pooling control for different levels of robustness. The pooling problem was based around a separation case where three different insulin species were to be separated while disturbances to the modulators potassium chloride, ethano
The purpose of our study is to determine the importance of oil exports in relation to GDP in countries located in Sub-Saharan Africa when it comes to promoting economic growth. Due to the fact that oil accounts for approximately 40 percent of the world’s total energy production, and is predicted to do so for at least 45 more years to come, we found this a highly relevant topic to look into. At th
The ‘superman’ does not simply carry the accustomed drives and strivings of the customary type of man beyond all measures and bounds. Superman is a qualitatively, not quantitatively, different form of existing man. The thing that the superman discards is precisely our boundless, purely quantitative non-stop progress. The superman is poorer, simpler, tenderer and tougher, quieter and more self-sacr
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the motives for investments with special focus on the impact of taxation and implementation of tax incentives in tax systems of Turkey and China depending on the related literature of books , articles , the laws of the both countries and empirical results.
Background In a competitive market place a competing company has to focus on continuous improvements and effectiveness, something that can be achieved by investing in product resources which then generates a need of capital. The need of capital can be financed through direct financing or external financing such as leasing where the leasing company offers the customer capital support. Since 1999, A
This Master Thesis report contains a development process of an interface on a dialysis machine. The evaluation of different methods of design processes will first be described. When the design method has been selected the different step of this method will be explained. After a theory part the method steps will be implemented and the result of the tasks will be demonstrated. The design development
With the popularity of sustainability reports in industry due to rising awareness about environmental, economic, and social issues stakeholder pressure has increased on companies to formally report on the triple bottom line. Not only that, the process of developing a sustainability report by itself is beneficial to the company in monitoring its practices and planning for the future. This need has
We prove an operator identity for the shift operator in the scale of standard weighted Bergman spaces in the unit disc. This operator identity is then applied in the context of functional calculus for the shift operator and a characterization of harmonic symbol Bergman space Toeplitz operators is obtained generalizing an earlier result by Louhichi and Olofsson. Duality arguments lead to operator i
The aim of this collaboration, between the division of Thermal Power Engineering and Lunds Energi AB, is to investigate the possibilities of training artificial neural networks (ANNs) with power plant operational data. For this purpose operational data from Lunds Energi's gas turbine GT10B with heat recovery unit (HRU) will be used. Furthermore a model with user interface is created to dem
Improving energy efficiency is a popular means of reducing consumption of energy. When energy efficiency is improved, the marginal cost of energy and energy services will fall, leading to an increase in demand. This is called the rebound effect. This paper explains how the rebound effect arises and what determines the size of it. By examining existing research, it finds that rebound effects are ul
Patent pools are contractual agreements where patent rights are transferred to a common holding company for the purpose of jointly licensing of patent portfolios. They have posed and still constitute one of the major challenges to competition policy. The arrangements have the ability to integrate complementary technology, reduce transaction costs and avoid infringement. At the same time, they cons
The purpose of this thesis was to examine the EC Commission's role and policy in the EC control of state aid to companies that risk going out of business. The thesis explores the Commission's role in relation to the Member States as well as to the Community courts. It also examines the Commission's policy towards such aid in order to establish whether the Commission is coherent in its
This thesis has been written as a part of the degree project course in the Master’s program “Sustainable Business Leadership” at the School of Economics and Management, Lund University. The course was based on the methodology of action learning and self-managed learning. The students were all assigned to an in-company project, having a role as consultants. This project constituted the main part of
During the past two decades several studies pointed out the contradiction between abundance of natural resources and its negative impact on economic growth and development. This paradox has been widely observed and documented throughout the development literature. In this context, China’s increasing demand for natural resources and consequent growing trade and influence in developing countries has
Temperature recordings from a moving vehicle are frequently used in microclimatological research. This work aims at investigating three aspects of the quality and the representability of mobile-recorded temperature data: the displacement of air near the car's front; the inertia of the sensors which hinders the accurate recording of fast fluctuations, and how good temperature profiles obtained
