We examine consumer certainty of future preferences and overconfidence in predicting future preferences. We explore how preference certainty and overconfidence impact the option value to revise today’s decisions in the future. We design a laboratory experiment that creates a controlled choice environment, in which a subject's choice set (over food snacks) is known and constant over time, and the t
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) in radiotherapy has the potential to facilitate the identification of treatment resistant regions within tumours, such as areas with insufficient oxygen supply. This is particularly interesting in head and neck (H&N) tumours with poor prognosis correlated with unidentified hypoxic areas. However, dMRI is sensitivive to the magnetic susceptibility dif
Eftersom information blir mer och mer tillgänglig börjar företag idag leta efter potentiella sätt att använda informationen för att blir mer attraktiva på marknaden. Ett sätt att utnyttja informationen på är att stödja datadrivna beslut. Målet med detta examensarbetet är att utveckla och designa en applikation som underlättar datadrivna beslut för företaget Grade AB. Detta genom att erbjuda behövaWith data becoming more and more abundant, companies will want to use this data in meaningful ways to gain competitive advantages on the market. One way of utilizing the data is to make data-driven decisions, which is often called data-driven decision-making. The goal of this master's thesis is to develop and design an application for the company Grade AB to alleviate data-driven decisions mad
Norway has Europe’s highest share of renewable electricity production and the lowest power sector emissions. Thanks to the country’s stable power production, Norway has affordable and stable access to electricity, leading to industries choosing to relocate to the country. To keep this industry, the country needs to meet the increasing electricity demand and ensure it is still competitively priced.
This report is the result of a thesis in mechanical engineering focused on product development. The project was performed at MarineDiesel, a company producing diesel engines for marine applications in Ängelholm, Sweden. A need of a sterndrive strong enough for large diesel engines is present on the market. This thesis involves hydraulic systems and mechanical geometry for trimming and steering of
The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations uppskattar att så många som 840 miljoner människor är undernärda, de flesta av dem människor i utvecklingsländer. Samtidigt försöker många parter förbättra och skapa nya växtsorter som ger större skördar, ökade näringsvärden, och andra fördelaktiga egenskaper. Nya växtsorter kan få skydd genom den internationella immaterialrätten vilket The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations estimates that as many as 840 million people are undernourished, most of them living in developing countries. Meanwhile many parties are looking to improve and create new plant varieties that gain greater yields, increased nutritional values, and other beneficial traits. These new plant varieties can gain protection by the international
Mitochondrial damage and dysfunction are associated with the aging process, and can be attributed to mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes involved in cellular respiration. Mitochondrial DNA is particularly prone to damage due to its proximity to reactive oxygen species in the mitochondrial matrix. With the current advances in gene therapy studies for both inherited and acquired diseas
Requirements from consumers and governments to produce more sustainable products have increased during recent years. Even if products are certified, one cannot make sure companies meet these requirements, since no chain of events can verify this exists. The transportation industry lacks certification and information on whether a product is transported in a sustainable way. The food industry, on th
Purpose – The purpose of this master’s thesis is to investigate the applicability and functions of tender platforms for logistics projects hosted by consultancy firms (CFs), and the benefits and challenges for logistics companies. Background – The digitization trend has transformed procurement practices, with e-tendering and tender platforms gaining attraction across industries. This shift is gra
This master thesis present a simulation environment developed in Matlab/Simulink, which can be used for control design and code generation for real-time control experiments for the Gantry-Tau parallel robot. The Gantry-Tau is a new parallel robot concept which offers great rigidity, high speeds and large workspace. The kinematics library presented in this thesis is developed for the 5 degrees of f
Every car has its own cornering dynamics, some are oversteered, meaning that they respond more to a steering input, and some are understeered, responding less to a steering input. These dynamics depend on a wide range of parameters, the size and weight of a car and the distribution of the weight to name a few. The main part of this thesis is aimed at controlling the cornering dynamics. More specif
The ball-and-beam process is one of the most famous control laboratory processes [1]. At the Department of Automatic Control at Lund Institute of Technology a light-weight ballandbeam process has been made portable by implementing the controls on a laptop with a webcam. The main contribution of this master thesis was the testing and implementation of a variety of vision-based algorithms used to lo
When using industrial robots in production lines both speed and accuracy is of great importance. This thesis investigates how off-line optimization can be used to create references to a control structure with the aim of traversing a given path in as little time as possible, under given input constraints, without deviating from the path. In this thesis Modelica and Optimica is used to formulate and
