This thesis deals with control of production at large-scale process industrial sites in the presence of disturbances. The main focus is on disturbances in the supply of utilities such as steam, cooling water and electricity. A general method for reducing the revenue loss due to disturbances in utilities is introduced, which may provide both proactive and reactive disturbance management strategies.

This paper examines Sweden’s role as a pioneer in mitigating climate change. Critical discourse analysis of climate and energy policy unveils Sweden’s ambition to ‘lead-by-example’, by virtue of a win-win combination of economy and environment via stringent regulations and an early-mover strategy on eco-innovations. The extent of the unilateral approach is constrained by concerns for the competiti

A biologically active protein fraction was isolated from rabbit intestine, purified by one-dimensional SDS-PAGE and stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue. A predominant band of approximately 110-130 kDa was excised and digested in-gel with trypsin. The resulting peptides were extracted then separated by microbore reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Mass spectrometric data

Popular Abstract in Swedish NÄR ÖRESUNDSBRON INVIGDES ÅR 2000 nådde förväntningarna på dansk-svensk integration sin kulmen. Prognoser och framtidsspekulationer haglade. Nyhetsbrev, reklamkampanjer, webbplatser och konferenser producerades på löpande band. Öresundsbron förenade Öresundsregionen. Öresundsregionen förenade skåningar och själlänningar. Tillsammans skulle de forna broderfolken skapa enThe Öresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden was inaugurated in the year 2000, connecting the city of Malmö and the Danish capital Copenhagen. The bridge was an important move towards the visionary realisation of a transnational Öresund Region. In this dissertation the communicative aspects of the regional process are put in focus. The vision of the Öresund Region that developed during the 1990s

The healthcare sector constitutes a major part of the economy of developed nations and consumes significant quantities of consumables. The Region Scania commissioned IIIEE, Lund University, to develop a management tool for strategic decision-making in order to reduce the climate impact indirectly derived from material, consumption. The tool was streamlined to fit operational conditions at Region S

The paper presents numerical results for a two-scale damage model accounting for mixed-mode propagation of micro-cracks. A time-dependent propagation criterion is assumed for microcrack growth and a kinking direction criterion based on the maximum of the energy-release rate is used. The macroscopic damage evolution laws are obtained by homogenization based on asymptotic developments. A numerical p

This paper reports on research to estimate leaf area index (LAI) in Swedish forests with satellite sensor data. The study is part of a research programme that aims at generating input data for process-oriented forest carbon models. Field-work was carried out in two areas in Sweden about 530 km apart, in the nemoral and boreo-nemoral forest regions. Various ways of estimating LAI in the field were

Popular Abstract in Swedish Organiska miljögifter finns idag i hela världen och har spridits dels genom lokala utsläpp och dels genom atmosfärisk transport. Trots att flera miljögifter (som insektsmedlet DDT och industrikemikalien PCB) har varit förbjudna sedan början av 1970-talet ser vi fortfarande höga halter av miljögifter i vår natur. Dels beror detta på att organiska miljögifter är svårnedbrAtlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from the Baltic Sea suffer from a reproduction disease known as the M74-syndrome. Newly hatched fry develop nerve disorders and die between 3-5 days after the first symptoms are seen. This is a maternally transmitted disease that is casued by a thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. The factor(s) that casue(s) this thiamine deficiency are largely unknown. However, several

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to numerically investigate the heat transfer performance of aviation kerosene flowing in smooth and enhanced tubes with asymmetric fins at supercritical pressures and to reveal the effects of several key parameters, such as mass flow rate, heat flux, pressure and inlet temperature on the heat transfer. Design/methodology/approach - A CFD approach is taken and

Exploring a prolonged life cycle of materials through an adaptive transformation Take, make and waste. Our society is trapped in a linear economic system where we extract raw materials, process them into products and as they have served their purpose they are reduced to waste. This unsustainable mentality seeps through to all things consumable, from fashion and cellphones to kitchen counters and
