Characterization and application of forced cooling channels for traction motors in HEVs

This paper presents the characterization of forced cooling channels with three different shapes which are applied in traction motors mounted in Hybrid Vehicles (HEVs) or Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs). Generally, there are two different positions of forced cooling channels in electric motors. One way is by drilling holes or cutting cooling channels inside the housing, which is called indirect cooli

Experience of furniture in homes: Creating conditions for the design with consideration to people in the third age

This licentiate thesis in industrial design concerns the challenge and opportunity to meet the demographic changes and the future senior market. The aim is to explore how various user-centered design methods can be combined, modified and practiced to create conditions for the design of totally new or improved products. Design is understood as a process to develop solutions with the starting point

Romantic Critics of Political Economy

The paper deals with problems and examples from my work in progress, entitled Poetic versus economic value, which contains a number of studies of economic criticism in Romanticist and Modernist literature. Here I am focussing on a certain aspect of this discourse of conflicting values, namely, to what extent the antimonetary Romanticism directly confronts the doctrines of Political Economy, the di

Two approaches to the analysis of low-density parity-check codes

We overview two approaches to the analysis of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes: selected code approach and ensemble approach. As examples of application of the methods we consider Gallager's homogeneous LDPC codes and Berrou-Glavieux-Thitimajshima (BGT) turbo-codes

The Crystal Structure of III-V Semiconductor Nanowires: Growth and Characterization

This thesis concerns growth and characterization of gold-particle seeded nanowires of III-V semiconductor materials (III-V NWs). The nanowires were grown using metal-organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and characterized by various microscopy techniques. In particular cross-sectional scanning tunnelling microscopy (XSTM) and cathodoluminescence microscopy (CL) were employed to investigate heterost
