Battery cell assembly and testing in conventional battery research is acknowledged to be heavily time-consuming and often suffers from large cell-to-cell variations. Manual battery cell assembly and electrolyte formulations are prone to introducing errors which confound optimization strategies and upscaling. Herein we present ODACell, an automated electrolyte formulation and battery assembly setup

This research monograph explores new frontiers in Markov chains. Although time-homogeneous Markov chains are well understood, this is not at all the case with time-inhomogeneous ones. The book, after a review on the classical theory of homogeneous chains, including the electrical network approach, introduces several new models which involve inhomogeneous chains as well as related new types of rand

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, a pandemic on March 12, 2020. COVID-19 is causing massive health problems and economic suffering around the world. The European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) promptly recognised the impact that the outbreak could have on people with obesity. On one side, emerging data suggest

This thesis investigates the role of trust in the context of decentralised finance (DeFi). Representing a new paradigm shift in finance, DeFi emerge from the technological developments that we have witnessing in the last decades, particularly decentralised ledger technologies (DLTs) of which Blockchain is perhaps the most popular. DeFi is changing the way that firms raise financial capital and a c

The purpose of this thesis’ topic is to investigate the evolutionary dispersal of the Charon’s fee or Obolus rite outside the Roman provinces in Northern Europe, with a specific focus on Roman Iron Age and Migration Period Scandinavia. The aim of this study is therefore to add further understanding to the spread of Roman cultural influences outside the imperial borders and what made Roman material

Purpose: This research aims to gain an understanding on how consultants in small consultancies, who also hold internal human resource responsibilities, promote their organisation in employee and employer branding. Relevance: Due to the ambiguous consultancy profession and the high potential for individual influences on the corporate brand, branding becomes a very germane topic in our particular r

Payment for water ecosystem services has been gaining attention in Latin America because of the direct response for environmental conservation through economic mechanisms. By connecting nature services with people who benefit from them, it creates a sustainable intervention for the ecosystem’s management while enhancing human well-being according to policy implementers. Nevertheless, these initiat

Climate change poses a significant threat to global stability, with rising temperatures leading to severe environmental and economic impacts. In response, innovative policy mechanisms such as the Global Carbon Reward (GCR) have been designed to enhance the effectiveness of carbon pricing strategies. The foundational aspect of the GCR is a carbon reward, which acts as a financial incentive distribu

The aim of this paper is to study the extent to which non-Annex I countries are implementing or exploring select actions that support both climate change mitigation and sustainable development objectives in the energy sector. The research is based on a survey of the national communications of 100 non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC. Although national communications are intended to provide informatio

Purpose: This study’s purpose is to study the long term effects of M&A and to examine whether stock price is the only determinant of post-merger performance or if operating performance can be used as an additional determinant. How underlying variables impact these measures are also part of this study´s purpose. Methodology: A quantitative approach is used where two event studies are conducte

The properties of the bootstrap test for restrictions are studied in two versions: 1) bootstrapping under the null hypothesis, restricted, and 2) bootstrapping under the alternative hypothesis, unrestricted. This article demonstrates the equivalence of these two methods, and illustrates the small sample properties of the Wald test for testing Granger-Causality in a stable stationary VAR system by
