Many studies on how to encourage pro-environmental behaviour have been done. However, they have tended to focus on individual behaviour in isolation of social interactions despite increasing scepticism about the effectiveness of this approach in promoting the necessary transition toward a more sustainable society. Such a transition constitutes a central part of the transformational mode of sustain

The ongoing grid paradigm shift has resulted in synchronous generators currently being phased out. As the generators have been providing ancillary services, such as frequency control regulation, this means that new technologies to perform ancillary services need to be developed and evaluated. Electric vehicles (EVs) is an energy source that today is being underutilized. Therefore, research has bee

Loudspeakers are used in many different applications and play a vital role in various types of entertainment and communication. To optimize the listening experience, there is a need for an adjustment process to compensate for any effects the environment might have on the loudspeaker’s performance. This thesis presents an adaptive method that utilizes an arbitrary amount of loudspeakers and microph

A statistic released this year (2018) by the World Road Transport Organization shows that more than 80% of inland freight is moved by road. Frequent e-commerce activities and end-consumer demands on delivery performance have increased transport needs yet fill rates have decreased. Transport is less efficient and unsustainable while profit margins also shrink, motivating fiercer competition among s

Dagens flyktingkris är världens största sedan andra världskriget. Idag flyr människor sina länder från förtryck, krig och förföljelser och hälften av dem är barn. Antalet ensamkommande barn har ökat under de senaste åren och under januari – oktober 2015 sökte 23 349 ensamkommande barn asyl i Sverige.1 Regeringen har lyft fram betydelsen av det civila samhället både generellt och inom integrationso

En nyfödd stjärna är omgiven av en disk som består till mestadels av gas med en liten andel grus, en så kallad protoplanetarisk disk. Det är i den här disken som planeter bildas, och likt planeter så roterar den runt solen. En viktig egenskap hos den protoplanetariska disken är att den förändras med tiden. Stjärnans gravitation drar till sig material från disken, vilken gör att den blir mindre ochThe rate of migration and accretion onto protoplanets is greatly influenced by the structure of the surrounding protoplanetary disc. This structure changes with time as the disc evolves on a million year timescale, implying that the process of planet formation might look very different depending on when it was initiated. Further on, the evolution of the disc structure is affected on smaller timesc

Tänk dig att två musikanter ska öva ett musikstycke tillsammans. De kan var sin del för sitt instrument, men de har aldrig spelat tillsammans. Nu är det så att musikanterna sitter i två olika rum och inte kan höra eller se varandra under inspelningen, utan de kan bara höra slutresultatet. Det låter såklart inte alls bra och kommer krävas många försök innan de börjar bli samspelta. När musikerna fåIn this thesis a new method for the numerical solution of coupled systems of ordinary differential equations is investigated. To understand this new method, the workings of existing Waveform iteration methods, in particular the Jacobi and Gauß-Seidel methods were explored first. These methods were introduced to be able to exploit multirate behaviour in systems and use an iterative procedure to suc
