This paper investigates the usability of a cost model to assess sustainable production. The aim is to develop an established cost model to also take sustainability into consideration and hence evaluate sustainable production on the shop floor. To facilitate the analyse literature have been studied to find indicators for sustainable production. The indicators have then been mapped together with parThis paper investigates the usability of a cost model to assess sustainable production. The aim is to develop an established cost model to also take sustainability into consideration and hence evaluate sustainable production on the shop floor.

The recent availability of short-pulse, high-intensity, compact lasers has opened doors to new and fascinating areas in atomic physics. Using the Lund Terawatt Laser, the interaction of femtosecond, near-infrared and visible laser radiation with matter at intensities in the range 10¹³--10¹⁷ W/cm2 was studied. Out of many phenomena that occur in this intensity range, this the

Aerosol technology was used to develop new methods for fabrication of size-selected, nanometer-sized particles of metals and semiconductors. Such particles were used to realize different types of quantum devices and nanometer-sized structures. The thesis contains an introduction, five papers on particle fabrication, and five papers on particle-based quantum devices. Size-selected gallium and indi

This doctoral dissertation presents a range of results concerning efficient algorithms and data structures for string processing, including several schemes contributing to sequential data compression. It comprises both theoretic results and practical implementations. We study the suffix tree data structure, presenting an efficient representation and several generalizations. This includes augmenti

In many companies and organisations the planning and control of purchasing, production, inventory and transportation is of great importance. In a manufacturing industry it is not unusual that the value of the total stock of end products and parts in production is larger than the value of the production system itself with its machines and factory buildings. Efficient control of inventory and produc

This paper ties into the growing literature on the long-term economic implications of historical European settlement, by arguing for the need to properly address the role of indigenous agency in endogenously evolving settlement processes. We develop three comparative case-studies in West, East and Southern Africa to show that the success or failure of European settler farming depended crucially on
