In the Formox-process, methanol is converted to formaldehyde via partial oxidation on a heterogeneous iron-molybdate catalyst. To an extent, the formed formaldehyde (FA) is over-oxidized into carbon monoxide (CO) which cannot be recycled into FA. As CO affects the environment negatively and decreases the process economy, internal attempts have previously been made to decrease the CO formation of t
The growing proportion of green energy in the electricity grids brings with it a growing need of grid stabilizing resources to counteract the inherent intermittency of renewable energy resources. This is where the grid scale energy storages come in handy. They efficiently offset the intermittencies of solar, wind etc. resources by energy arbitrage and peak shifting. This thesis looks into the econ
Neural networks are effective for solving many complex human-level tasks, one type of neural network often used in imaging tasks is the convolutional neural network (CNN). They can effectively solve problems in areas like image recognition, object detection, and classification tasks. Using a CNN for one of these tasks requires a huge computational cost relative to what a typical algorithm would ha
Contemporary English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms in upper secondary schools in Sweden make frequent use of receptive media such as movies and television to facilitate language learning. The more interactive medium of video games is seldom used for the same purpose, despite previous research indicating that the added layer of interactivity can bring benefits such as improvements to vocab
This industrial design bachelor project aimed to improve the functionality of patient alarm systems in hospitals across the Skåne region. The project was conducted through nurse surveys, interviews with patients and nurses, as well as research into inclusive and universal design. The research found that there were three main problems with the current alarm systems. The primary issue was an abundan
Quality Indicators: Help or hinder? - The study examines the National Board of Health and Welfare's construction of quality in women's shelters in relation to women's safety and security. The study is based on the quality indicators developed by the National Board of Health and Welfare on behalf of the government. The National Board of Health and Welfare is an authority in Sweden with
Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT) is a proposed diagnostic technique with potential as a means of discovering cancerous tumours. The technique combines ultrasound and laser radiation to probe tissue in a non-invasive, harmless way. An important aspect in UOT is the ability to distinguish the probing light from background scattered light generated by the technique, which limits its reso
Abstract The aim of this thesis is to discuss the tools needed to work with environmental issues in a condominium. This includes what the tenants can do to reduce their environmental impacts, and what can be expected in their voluntary work from an environmental perspective. Through a case study in the form of an environmental review of the condominium association Malmöhus 49, a model has been dev
Climate change are starting to receive more attention, even so, transport sector is responsible for approximately 20% of energy related GHG emission, which still has increasing trend. Solutions based on using information and communication technologies are started to be used for reducing anthropogenic GHG emissions and replacing business related travels. Meetings that is held by using ICT, can save
EU’s and the Swedish government’s requirements to lower the energy consumption for buildings are getting stricter. In April 30 2014 the law on energy metering (SFS 2014: 267) was issued. The law deals with energy metering in new construction and reconstruction, during 2015 a decision must be taken on how measurement in existing buildings should be handled. Individual metering and charging (IMC) co
Issue of study: Consumers interact with primary food packaging and the refrigerator on a daily basis, although the interaction and impact food packaging has on the design of refrigerators is not clear. The Swedish home appliances company Electrolux, manufacturer’s refrigerators with the consumer needs in mind. The food packaging market is diversified in terms of formats, dimensions, functions and
Social work with quality? Public Comparisons as show-window and tool Auditing, evaluations, rankings and performance measurements of the public sector are often presented as tools to ensure accountability, improvement, quality and transparancy in publicly funded organizations. One such tool is called "Public Comparisons" (Öppna jämförelser), a Swedish publicly reported measurement of qu
Soft regionalism och regionala identiteter i Storbritannien har sällan blivit utforskade utöver nationella debatter avseende Skottland, England, Wales och Cornwall. Dessutom har även många senare regionala studier i England försummats helt. Denna studie har sin bakgrund i den pågående debatten om decentrialisering (devolution) och skapandet av nya regionala myndigheter och urbaner-regioner i StorbSoft regionalism and regional identities in Great Britain has seldom been explored beyond the national debates of Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall. Many recent local studies in England have, too, been neglected. This study is set against the backdrop of the ongoing debates around devolution within the United Kingdom and the creation of new regional authorities and city-regions. This thesis investigat
