Kartläggning av sand och naturgrus med hjälp av resistivitetsmätning på Själland, Danmark

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera resistivitetsdata från ett område i Hilleröd kommun och att kartlägga förekomsten av sand och grus. Naturgrus och sand är eftertraktade material inom anläggnings- och byggnadssektorn men fungerar också som bra grundvattenreservoarer. Region Hovedstaden i Danmark försöker hitta mäktiga lager av sand (0,6-2 mm) och naturgrus (2-20 mm) på Själland för utvinninThe purpose of this study is to analyze resistivity data from an area in Hilleröd municipality and to map the presence of sand and gravel. Gravel and sand are materials with high a demand in the construction sector, but also function as great groundwater reservoirs. Region Hovedstaden in Denmark wants to search for thick layers of sand (0.6-2 mm) and gravel (2-20 mm) in Själland for extraction. Th

Evaluation of an adiabatic pre-reactor concept for methanol oxidation

Formaldehyd är en kemikalie som används till allt möjligt. I första hand används den som en råvara till andra kemiska fabriker, men kan också användas för att göra olika typer av laminater. Johnson Matthey Formox är ett företag som utvecklar och säljer fabriker som producerar formaldehyd. Formaldehyd skapas när metanol reagerar med syre under specifika situationer. Formox har gjort många utvecklinA pre-adiabatic reactor concept for catalytic methanol oxidation was investigated. The reason was the possibilities of a reduced catalyst reloading time and reduced deflagration risk. An adiabatic reactor pilot was constructed. Trials were performed to confirm that the pilot was running at an adiabatic state. Information about the pilot pressure drop, temperature profile and outlet composition was

Forming a strategy for distribution inventory management

For most companies, especially the ones handling large flows of material there are buffers in different stages of the value chain, also referred to as inventory. By effectively managing inventories, businesses can see bottom line impact on financial performance factors such as revenue streams, costs and capital efficiency. The authors built a relevant frame of references based upon theories within

Hur dimensionerar vi framtidens elnät? Fallstudie med avseende på e-mobilitet

During the last few years, the interest for electric vehicles has increased enormously, there are even talk of prohibiting fossil fuels in the coming years. There is a risk that the charging of these electric vehicles can strain the electric grid. The simulations of the grid with added power demand from the electric vehicles concludes that there will not be a problem on the low- and medium voltage

Study of radiometric variations in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle remote sensing imagery for vegetation mapping

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide a flexible method for acquiring high-resolution imagery with relative simple operation and cost-effectiveness. This technology emerged 30 years ago and it is widely used by commercial, scientific, and military communities due to its versatility. However, new technology brings new challenges. One of them is the radiometric accuracy of the UAV imagery. Radiome

The Creative Economy & Development: Understanding the growth and potential of the cultural and creative industries in South Africa

Often-times referred to as “Africa’s untapped market”, the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) have become a prominent element of economic strategy and policy dialogue in South Africa over the past several decades. Although a relatively new sector of the economy, the CCIs have experienced rapid growth, now contributing over 3% to GDP annually. However there remains considerable debate regardin

Archaeology in Modernity, Two World Heritage Sites in Scandinavia as Cultural Identity?

The designation of World Heritage Site overcomes a serious of events in the life of each location. The social life of the sites that are designated brings a discussion about the characters that are responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the physical and ontological characteristics of the data and knowledge originated in it. Archaeology today involves certain characteristics that overc

Bluetooth Automation IO, and its place in a cable replacement solution

Bluetooth Automation IO, and its place in a Cable Replacement Solution: With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and a desire for connectivity between even the smallest devices, several low powered wireless technologies are fighting for a place in the IoT market. The Automation IO profile for Bluetooth Low Energy was designed to provide a low-level standardized way of exposing digital and an

Should I stay or should I… Pokémon Go? : En undersökning av svensk massmedias diskussion om det digitala spelet Pokémon Go

Since digital games entered the market they have been classified as a problematic medium, something that makes people aggressive and isolated from their surroundings. A stereotype of a white, adult male, playing alone and killing virtual people started to spread in the public. During the summer and early autumn of 2016, a new game entered the public sphere, which made people all over the world lea

Unagi-sentences in Japanese and Korean: A comparative study based on acceptability judgments

Unagi-sentences are, as defined in this thesis, sentences where there is a mismatch between the literal interpretation of the sentence and its meaning in context, often accompanying an apparent violation of selection restrictions of the predicate. This thesis argues that the phenomenon of unagi-sentences shows more variation than previously thought, as well as provides a much needed comparison of

EMOME

This project focus on mouthfeel and textures within food area and try to connect it with emotion. The concept is inspired from space and Mars exploration in food related topics. Developing with experiments and coming up with a set of emotions outlet tools for not only eating but exploring your mouth. There are tons of product in markets that focus on only getting food from plate to mouth. However,

Aegis - Architectural Solution for Community and Critical Facility Resilience

There is a lot of discussion going on how to adapt to the changing climatic conditions, especially in countries where financial resources are limited. The built environment has been identified as a key area of intervention. As disasters, such as typhoons, can devastate entire cities, it is essential that the most important buildings in these cities, the lifelines so to speak, are resilient and can

This will be done by a case study of AAK, a leading producer of vegetable fats, to empirically analyze how they work with talent acqui

Robusthet och fortskridande ras av 22-våningshus med trästomme

Intresset för att bygga fler och högre trähus i Sverige har senaste tiden ökat bland annat då trä är ett betydligt mer miljövänligt alternativ att bygga med än stål och betong. Stomsystem i trä har dock ingen naturlig sammanhållning likt en platsgjuten betongstomme och därför måste anslutningarna i en trästomme hanteras explicit. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) driver en konceptstudie om högaThe interest in building more and higher timber buildings in Sweden has recently increased, for example, because wood is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to construct with then steel and concrete. Frame system in wood has no natural cohesion like a cast concrete frame and therefore the connection in a wooden frame must be managed explicitly. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) run

The link between secondary organic aerosol and monoterpenes at a boreal forest site

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) plays a significant role in climate change by altering the global atmospheric radiation budget. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are major sources for the formation of SOA. Their relationship is critical to understand the continental biosphere-aerosol-cloud-climate (COBACC) feedback mechanism but receives less attention in previous studies. In this study,

She seldoms to what? An investigation into adverbial verbs and interrogative verbs in verb-initial languages

Adverbial verbs and interrogative verbs are two relatively rare and underexplored linguistic phenomena that are investigated in this typological study. Adverbial verbs are verbal constituents that possess the morphosyntactic properties of verbs but that encode manner and temporal information, instead of referring to states or events as verbs prototypically do. Interrogative verbs possess the morph
