The purpose of this study is to design and investigate a pulsating heat pipe device (PHP). A PHP is a two-phase flow heat transfer device which can handle high heat fluxes with passive internal flow. It is made of a continuous loop serpentine, partially filled with a working fluid that can cool systems, such as electronic devices. It differs from a conventional heat pipe device in design and opera

In recent years, as Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning technologies have advanced, there has been increasing interest in the study of energy-efficient and flexible architectures for embedded systems. To bridge the performance gap between microprocessors and memory systems, Near-Data Processing (NDP) was introduced. Although some works have implemented NDP, few of them utilize the microp

Regularly described as hotspots for marine life, seamounts are important foraging grounds for marine predators. In surface waters over seamounts, diel vertically migrating organisms can be aggregated, making seamounts potentially attractive and profitable food sources for predators such as seabirds. Still, the potential association between seabirds and seamounts has seldom been described and littl

This paper analyzes the set of political skills that middle managers use to navigate the aerospace industry. The current study considers Mintzberg’s (1985), Ferris et al.’s (2007), and Treadway et al.’s (2005) conceptualization of organizations as political arenas, will, and skills. Thus, it constitutes a theoretical base to create a new tailored political skills framework that could help aerospac

Leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children, with B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL) being a common type in both children and adults. Different types of treatments are available, such as chemotherapy, stem cell treatment and immunotherapy. However, a recurring problem is relapses, with the survival rate after relapse being very low. In combating this issue new methods have been d

With the increased efficiency of sequencing methods, large quantities of genomic information are quickly becoming available. To make use of this, methods are needed that can discern useful information from these vast data quantities. Such information could be the presence and position of specified genes with known properties. Due to their highly conserved sequences and their prevalence across all

Alfa Laval has been using its unique adhesive mixture for over 50 years for bonding of rubber gaskets to the corrugated plates used in their heat exchangers. The adhesive mix is designated GC6 and is composed out of an epoxy component and a phenolic component. GC6 has throughout the years shown exceptionally good performance in both adhesion to the rubber gasket and to the plate with minimal pre-t

Engine development for reduced fuel consumption and for the ability to use alternative types of fuels is required as emissions and the limited access of petroleum are issues coupled to diesel engines. Experimental testing is in many cases insufficient and expensive in comparison with simulations for engine development. This thesis is focused on extending a model of a diesel compression-ignition en

Radiocarbon dating of human tissues has great potential in medical applications. A consequence of the complex path of radiocarbon to humans through diet is that the radiocarbon content of samples from human subjects is not directly comparable with the atmosphere's. By considering the harvest seasons in Sweden and its surrounding countries, a new software was developed to further investigate if

Distribution and warehousing networks of Humanitarian Organizations has proven to be an area where cost reductions and shortened lead times can be achieved. Humanitarian organizations have also started pre-positioning goods in anticipation of disasters as a way to improve their disaster preparedness. Research in the area has, generally, been extensive but few articles have tried to incorporate the

We consider a technique involving Neural Networks in order to try to predict trends for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc. In that respect the project involves construction, design and training of a deep learning Neural Network based on historical trading data for these cryptocurrencies. Subsequently we apply this trained network in order to better understand its ability to possibly f

Detta projekt utreder hur en by kan utvecklas genom att ha turism som drivkraft. Knäred är en ort med cirka 1200 invånare och har haft en stagnerande befolkningskurva de senaste 20 åren. Det är besultat att den tåget återigen ska gå mellan Markaryd och Halmstad för persontrafik med up- pehåll i Knäred. Men genom att anlägga en järnvägsstatoion innebär inte per automatik att ett samhälle växer. FörThis project is investigating how a village can be developed by using tourism as the main driving force. Knäred is a villa- ge with around 1200 inhabitants that has had a decreasing population the past 20 years. It has been decided that the old train stop will be opened for passenger transportation again. But reestablishing a train station does not automa- tically mean that a settlement will grow.

Control theory plays a big part in the development of more efficient and environ- mental friendly combustion engines. But the process of designing good controllers can be very time consuming and complex. One way to reduce the time spent on design and testing of a controller is to use simulations to get fast feedback of the controllers performance. Therefore, in this thesis it is investigated if a

Lysosomes are cell organelles in charge of degradation. Lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) causes the leakage of cathepsins and other digestive enzymes into the cytosol from lysosomal cavities. This usually causes the initiation of cell death. LMP can be triggered by many stimuli and this could potentially be used in new therapeutic approaches for removing cancer cells. However, excessive L

Prisutvecklingen på bostäder i Sverige har under lång tid varit en framgångssaga för säljare. Med låga räntor, stor efterfrågan och begränsat utbud har priserna stigit. Sedan hösten 2017 har en oro utvecklats på bostadsmarknaden. Priserna sjunker, efterfrågan minskar och byggföretag får svårare att sälja sina nyproducerade bostäder, vilket i förlängningen kan leda till minskad bostadsproduktion. DThe price development of housing in Sweden has long been a success story for sellers. With low interest rates, high demand and limited supply the prices have risen. Since the fall of 2017, the market uncertainty has grown. Prices are falling, demand decreases, and housing developers get harder to sell their newly produced homes, which in the long run can lead to reduced housing production. The pot

Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogen, sometimes occurring in fresh cheese, such as Queso Fresco. Antimicrobials could be utilized to prevent the presence of L. monocytogenes in this type of cheese. In order to be able to screen and assess several novel antimicrobials simultaneously in the future, the validated miniaturized laboratory-scale model for Queso Fresco (MLQF) was further developed into a

Advancement of technology with the aid of new application, wireless communication has grown rapidly in the past two decades. Recently, in the wireless communication industry, Narrowband- Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is being discussed by everyone, as the most important emerging technology of the day. Being a wireless technology, owing to the exodus of devices to be connected, with due consideration
