Renewable energy is gaining increasing importance in the generation of power due to the finite existence of fossil fuels and concerns about climate change. As its demand grows financial interest from investors’ increases, thus it is important to find the most effective way of quantifying the risk of the renewable energy market. Furthermore as renewable energy can be viewed as an economic substitut

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning ”Byggnader och anläggningar ska lokaliseras och utformas på ett miljöanpassat sätt…”, så lyder riksdagens defintion av miljökvalitetsmålet God bebyggd miljö (Miljömål, 2016a). Företag som Boklok är en viktig del av utvecklingen mot en god bebyggd miljö i Sverige. En god vardagsmiljö utgör en av delarna i miljökvalitetsmålet vilket bland annat innefattar ett variHousing today stands for 40 % of Swedens total energy use and therefore the industry has a big environmental impact (Miljömål, 2016a). This is not only an important issue due to the environmental impact, it also has a high importance for the society due to the current housing shortage that is prevailing in Sweden. It is important to find a way to be able to industrialize house building with the lo

Någon gång i våra liv har vi tittat upp på natthimlen och skådat vår allt lojala kompanjon. Månen har genom mycket av människans historia setts som ett oupn åligt objekt, men år 1969 så gick människan bortom sina gamla bergränsningar och tog sina första kliv på Månen. Från månstenar som samlats in genom detta uppdrag så upptäckte vi att Månen en gång i tiden måste ha haft ett magma hav. Men det unIn this thesis we add a temperature dependence to the newly developed variable polytrope equation of state (Varpoly EOS) from Weppner et al. (2015), making it more universal and more applicable for planetary simulations. In this process we develop a new model for the Gruneisen parameter, which is a parameter that describes how pressure changes with the internal energy. This new model conforms to t

Forskning kring att utvinna information om musik direkt från en ljudinspelning har pågått sedan slutet av 1900-talet. Många nya upptäckter har gjorts de allra senaste åren, dels på grund av att forskningsområdet har varit relativt outforskat men också då den tekniska utvecklingen har gått framåt väldigt kraftigt. Denna avhandling utforskar en gren inom forskningsområdet, kallad multipel fundamentaThe research field of automatic music transcription has vastly grown during the 21st century, where the goal is to transcribe a polyphonic music signal into annotated sheet music. Within this field, the subproblem of fundamental frequency estimation in a piece of music is a difficult problem, e.g., due to dissimilar structures in signals from different instruments playing the same note. This becom

This thesis aims to shine light on some different machine learning methods. As reference a more common statistical prediction method, namely the generalized linear model, is applied to compare the results of the machine learning methods. Six different machine learning methods are investigated. These methods are explained in detail and used to predict hit rates within insurance customers. To further

Proteiner är kroppens byggstenar och verktyg, som bland annat bygger upp håret på vårt huvud och ser till så att vår matsmältning fungerar, men det är långt ifrån allt. Denna mångfald bland proteinerna har lett till att man börjat använda dem inom en mängd olika områden, dels för att effektivisera gamla metoder, men också till helt nya produkter. För att producera proteiner som har förmågan att reThe use of fusion proteins has become prevalent within biotechnical applications, offering a method of supplementing a protein with physical or chemical properties inherent to multiple full size proteins or peptides. The thesis work presented in this report was designed to attempt such a fusion, between a recombinant human amelogenin and a fungal cellulose binding domain peptide. The extracellular

Popular Abstract in Swedish Dagens samhälle är allt mer beroende av elektroniska hjälpmedel så som smarta telefoner, läsplattor, datorer osv. Prestandakraven ökar i en allt högre takt och därför måste även den bakomliggande teknologin följa samma trend. De flesta av oss vill att den nya mobiltelefonen ska ha så hög kameraupplösning som möjligt men få av oss tänker på att detta medför en större mäFast and reliable data transmission together with high bandwidth efficiency are important design aspects in a modern digital communication system. Many different approaches exist but in this thesis bandwidth efficiency is obtained by increasing the data transmission rate with the faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) framework while keeping a fixed power spectral density (PSD). In FTN consecutive information

The main focus of the essay addresses loyalty obligations on the parties during an acquisition of a company and how the parties' different experience and knowledge impact the acquisition process. The essay divides the acquisition process into three parts&semic before signing, between signing and closing, and after closing. During the essay it will be important to examine how the demands fo

The aim with this master thesis is to identify similarities and differences between the UK and Swedish safety requirements for hazards at the plant level. It is also to investigate the underlying requirements for the safety documentation of those hazards. The method in the report is picked from literature studies, such as internal documents and the information published by the UK´s and Sweden’s co

Idén om en kvantdator, har funnits i årtionden och många olika förslag på hur en sådan skulle kunna konstrueras har lagts fram. Än så länge finns dock bara system bestående ett fåtal kvantbitar. I mitt kandidatarbete har jag undersökt en kvantbitar i en kristall förorenad med Europiumjoner för att ta reda på hur interaktion mellan joner i kristallen påverkar kvantbitarnas funktion. I en vanlig daExperimental single qubit gate fidelities in the rare-earth quantum computing (REQC) scheme was found to be lower than predicted by simulation of the optical Bloch equations for the system. The cause was believed to be excitation-induced frequency shifts (EFS), so this BSc thesis investigates a model for EFS in Eu:YSO where stochastic frequency shifts are imposed on the ions. This was implemented

BACKGROUND: Phosphorylation plays an essential role in regulating voltage-gated sodium (Na(v)) channels and excitability. Yet, a surprisingly limited number of kinases have been identified as regulators of Na(v) channels. We posited that glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3), a critical kinase found associated with numerous brain disorders, might directly regulate neuronal Na(v) channels.METHODS: We u

In which cells of the flower volatile biosynthesis takes place is unclear. In rose and snapdragon, some enzymes of the volatile phenylpropanoid/benzenoid pathway have been shown to be present in the epidermal cells of petals. It is therefore generally believed that the production of these compounds occurs in these cells. However, whether the entire pathway is active in these cells and whether it i

An international multicentre study of first and second primary neoplasms associated with male breast cancer was carried out by pooling data from 13 cancer registries. Among a total of 3409 men with primary breast cancer, 426 (12.5%) developed a second neoplasia; other than breast cancer, a 34% overall excess risk of second primary neoplasia, affecting the small intestine (standardised incidence ra

Most pathogens can infect a number of different host species, but host species often differ considerably in susceptibility to a given pathogen. In the case of zoonotic pathogens, natural hosts typically present little or no disease symptoms, while humans and other “spill-over” hosts often present severe symptoms. Differences in susceptibility do not only occur between natural and non-natural hosts

The purpose of this dissertation is to contribute to a better understanding of the relations between music technology and girls and transgender persons (aged 13–21) in music making. The research subject is leisure time music making in music technology learning environments, where issues of gender equality are emphasized. A further aim is to discuss the music technology learning environment from th

At synchrotron light storage rings there is demand for serving high-brilliance users requesting multibunch operation while simultaneously serving timing users who require single-bunch operation. One method to accomplish this is PPRE developed and currently in user operation at BESSYII. In the method, the transverse emittance of one of the bunches in the bunch train is increased by an incoherent beAt synchrotron light storage rings there is demand for serving high-brilliance users requesting multibunch operation while simultaneously serving timing users who require single-bunch operation.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ortnamn utgör en särskild del av kulturarvet; under århundraden har de muntligen traderats från generation till generation på den plats där de skapats, där de minner om tidigare händelser, aktiviteter och kunskaper. I synnerhet på de håll skriftlig dokumentation är relativt sentida ger ortnamn en möjlighet att nå insikter om den mer avlägsna historien. Detta gäller särsAs a special part of our cultural heritage, toponyms have been handed down orally from generation to generation for centuries or more at the place where they were coined, recalling events, activities and knowledge. Especially where written documentation is relatively young, place names offer a way to reach further back into the past. This is particularly true of many dialectal cultures, in which o

The immune system has evolved specialized cellular and molecular mechanisms for targeting and regulating immune responses at epithelial surfaces. Here we show that small intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes and lamina propria lymphocytes migrate to thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK). This attraction is mediated by CC chemokine receptor (CCR)9, a chemoattractant receptor expressed at high levels b
