I ABSTRACT This thesis studies a two-echelon distribution inventory system with a central depot which supplies N non-identical retailers with a single product. Stochastic customer demand occurs solely at the retailers. The purpose of the master thesis project is to evaluate the potential benefit of two methods in which the control of the inventory points in the inventory system is coordinated. The

Bullberget är beläget i västra Dalarna i Lima socken. Huvudbergarten utgörs av Öjediabas, som här är genomslagen av en horisontell diabasgång tillhörande samma generation som den i Dalarna rikligt förekommande Åsbydiabasen. Denna diabasgång uppvisar en steglös övergång från en Si02-halt på 54% till 73%. Även bergartens makroskopiska utseende förändras helt utan synliga kontakter. Bergarterna har tThe Bullberget hill is situated in the Lima parish of the Dalarna province in western Sweden. The major rock forming the hill is Öje basalt. This is cut by a dolerite sill belonging to the same generation as the Åsby dolerite, which is common in the province. The sill displays a continuos transition from a SiO2-content of 54% to 73%. No lithological boundaries have been found between the various r

Effectuation represents entrepreneurial way of thinking and it is commonly applied to new ventures. Causation, as the inverse logic to effectuation, represents traditional way of thinking, and it is commonly used among large existing organizations. Recent research on effectuation shows that causation and effectuation are two relative logics, and effectuation can be extended to the existing organiz

There has been a decrease in sea ice extent and volume in the polar regions during the past decades; this study focuses on the Northern Hemisphere. The variability of the sea ice extent along the east coast of Greenland is examined and the area is divided into three regional zones to be able to study variations in the correlation strength along the coast. The ice extent along the east coast is ach

This thesis investigates the phenomenon of the natural resource curse by making use of the resource rich countries Norway and Nigeria. The resource curse is a phenomenon where resource rich countries paradoxically have lower growth rates than resource poor countries, in spite of the growth potential offered by resource rents.

Bus rapid transit (BRT) systems have been recognized around the world by combining the advantages of urban rail transit systems with the flexibility and low cost of conventional bus systems. Although its introduction in different cities has helped to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality, one of the major criticisms for these systems is that buses are usually powered by diesel, w

In the west, out-innovating China has been a frequent proposal to deal with the feared threat posed by China’s rapid industrialization. However, China is not content with being only a manufacturing economy and has subsequently introduced multiple programs to foster research and development domestically. One of the most prominent sectors targeted by China’s programs and upheld by the west as their

The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a dedicated microprocessor designed to secure hardware by integrating cryptographic keys into the non-volatile memory of the module. TPM is specified by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). TCG is an initiative started in 2003 by several multinational semiconductor and IT-companies. The initiative is an effort to develop standards for Trusted Computing where har

Water resources management has been reconfigured over time and space; as power over decision-making processes has increasingly been vested from the state and distributed among networks of private and non-governmental actors. Geographical scholarships of environmental governance seek to critically analyse this transformation in order to grasp how decisions are made, and the consequences that entail

Although not unproblematic, degrowth and other alternatives do exist, but are somehow non-existing in the public debate. Within political ecology and ecological economics this can be explained in terms of “capitalistic
