Glass structures – learning from experts

Despite the increasing research activity on structural use of glass in the past years, there is still a lack of comprehensive design codes and standards linked to real-life applications on a structural level. However, more and more ambitious buildings and structures are built every year. Thus the knowledge is out there. The aim of the presented project is to collect data on the existing design phi

Anna Vasas brev till familjen Gyllenstierna 1591-1612. Listy Anny Wazówny do rodziny Gyllenstiernów z lat 1591-1612.

Anna Vasa (1568-1625), dotter till Johan III och Katarina Jagellonica, levde en stor del av sitt liv vid brodern Sigismunds hov i Polen. Sjuklig och utan egen familj som hon var, tydde hon sig till familjen Gyllenstierna och fann glädje i att på alla sätt engagera sig som dess välgörare. Vid 1990-talets slut hittades 24 dittills okända brev, skrivna på svenska, från prinsessan Anna till Sigrid och

On the Ecology and Evolution of seed and Bud Dormancy

This thesis considers the ecological and evolutionary significance of seed and bud dormancy. First, I present theoretical support to the idea that seed dormancy may evolve as a strategy to reduce sib competition in temporally homogeneous environments. In this thesis, I also analyze two different processes that may give rise to parent-offspring conflicts in angiosperms, viz. seed germination and se

Pairwise Kidney Exchange with Blood-Group Incompatibility

Kidney transplants across the blood-group barrier are medically feasible even if blood-group compatibility is preferred from a medical point of view. However, these types of transplants are motivated by the fact that they help in increasing the number of kidney transplants with living donors. This paper investigates priority matchings in a pairwise kidney exchange problem where blood-group incompa

Model for Print Quality Evaluation of Hybrid Printer Matter

Pressure on reducing prices and a market demand for customisation and shorter production runs give cause for investigating alternatives to conventional printing. Traditional technologies, such as flexography and offset, are all using static printing forms, while a digital printing unit prints information directly from the data file. Hence, the latter alternative makes it possible to produce short
