Bridges for pedestrians and bicycles are getting more common. Often, they are seen spanning motorways and railways, to separate walking and cycling traffic from fast going heavy traffic. It is common that the chosen bridge type for this purpose is a truss bridge consisting of rolled steel profiles. When more and more bridges are being planned, the planning process also needs to be rationalised. Th

A 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

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a wood material that is often used as load-carrying element in multi-storey buildings (with more than two floors) with wooden frame. Sometimes it is necessary to make notches in load-carrying elements in order to create space for installations. Today there are no instructions regarding how to design CLT in Eurocode. Design of CLT can instead be based on European tec

Economies have long been based on systems that emphasize production and explain results. In today's increased global competitiveness, the maturing capitalism advocates varied and lasting spatial concentrations as well as country-specific characteristics, National Innovation Systems. Even entrepreneurship has been given more and more attention in economic development and its importance in the i

Syftet med uppsatsen var att söka förståelse för ett företag i energibranschens interna employer brand. Uppsatsen ska ligga som grund för företagets utvecklande av en employer branding strategi. Employer branding strategin ska byggas från ett internt perspektiv som gäller för hela företaget, samt även vara styrt efter vissa kritiska målgruppers preferenser. Uppsatsen sökte även ökad förståelse föThe aim of this essay was to explore the internal employer brand within a company in the energy industry. This study will be the stepping stone from which the company will further develop their employer brand strategy. The employer branding strategy should be influenced by the preferences of the employees. Additionally, our study examined what makes an employer attractive in general and more spe

A lookup table (LUT)-based inverse model was designed and used to analyze the property of in vivo skin tissues. The investigated wavelength range was from 400 nm to 1300 nm. The LUT was created based on experimental measurements of 35 tissue-simulating phantoms. This LUT was then used to fit measured values of 3 types of pig skin in an inverse model. The results show that this LUT-based inverse mo

Uppsatsen som författats, berör associationsrätten, och har som syfte att utreda hur långtgående bolagsledningens lojalitetsplikt är, för att skadeståndsansvaret ska bli aktuellt. Ett aktiebolag består av tre organ, nämligen bolagsstämman, styrelsen och verkställande direktören. Uppsatsen kommer sikta in sig på styrelsen och verkställande direktörens roller och uppdrag i bolaget, eftersom dessa tiThe essay that has been written concerns company law, and aims to investigate how far-reaching the company management's loyalty duty is, in order for damage liability to become relevant. A stock company consists of three bodies, namely the shareholders meeting, the board and the managing director. The essay will focus on the roles and tasks of the board and the managing director in the company

An attempt was made at developing atomic layer etching from a cyclic etching process in an ICP-RIE tool. During the process OES was used for contamination monitoring and estimation of the relative amount of Cl2 left in the chamber during the etch step of cyclic etching processes. The process parameters were then optimized resulting in a quasi-ALE process suitable for pattern transfer as shown by t

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, increasing yearly. However, many abnormalities in heart cycles can be discovered and treated years before the onset of diseases. But in most societies, regular health checkups are a concept reserved for cars, not humans. In order to save lives, our healthcare systems must adopt a preventative rather than a reactive approach. To that

Pitting corrosion on 316L stainless steel has been widely studied, but knowledge is lacking within food processing environments. A new test setup was developed to enable electrochemical measurements inside a heat exchanger (pasteurizer) where solutions can be heated and cooled rapidly, allowing for corrosion tests of solutions that do not withstand high temperatures for a long period of time. Afte

Today many households in Sweden use small on-site sewage facilities to take care of their own wastewater which is then treated and released into the environment. The sewage sludge that remains contain many nutrients, like phosphorous and nitrogen, which could potentially be reused as fertilizers. The sludge is usually contaminated with pathogens and unwanted or even toxic substances and if not tre

The purpose of this project was to develop and test lipase-based in vitro release (IVR) assays for model and active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) entrapped in lipid formulations based on mixtures of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and glycerol dioleate (GDO). Two dyes, Fluorescein disodium salt and Patent Blue V sodium salt, functioning as model drug compounds, were investigated separately in the PC/G

Induced subgraph detection is a widely studied set of problems in theoretical computer science, with applications in e.g. social networks, molecular biology and other domains that use graph representations. Our focus lies on practical comparison of some well-known deterministic algorithms to recent Monte Carlo algorithms for detecting subgraphs on three and four vertices. For algorithms that invol

Vertical axis wind turbines have vertical rotation axles, unlike traditional wind turbines, which rotate around horizontal axles. Vertical wind turbines convert energy from turbulent winds, pick up wind energy from all directions and are easy to serve. The noise from a vertical axis wind turbine is only one-tenth as strong as horizontal-axle wind turbines, which make it possible to place the verti

During this bachelor thesis a first version of a digital tool has been formed. The tool is uniquely developed for the company Tirawa Solutions AB whose main task is to plan inspections of different railway track parts all across Sweden. The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate what functionalities are interesting to achieve a system that can display information about railway switches and

This Master Thesis was made under and in collaboration with Pond Healthcare Innovation for Celgene. Celgene is a global pharmaceutical company developing treatments for cancer and other severe, immune, inflammatory conditions. In March 2015 Celgene launched a new oral treatment called Otezla (effective substance aprimelast) on the Nordic market. With this move they entered the arena of Psoriasis a
