Popular Abstract in Swedish Om vi använder allt tillgängligt fossilt bränsle kommer detta leda till att havsnivån ökar med mer än 50 m, enligt nya rön [1]. Även om detta hot ligger långt in i framtiden, finns ett flertal akuta problem kopplade till den globala uppvärminingen. FNs klimatpanel (IPCC) förutspår i sin senaste rapport en stor ökning av torka, skogsbränder, kraftiga orkaner, svält och mTo enable the transition to a green, bio-based economy, an extensive enzymatic toolbox competitive to traditional chemical procedures is needed. One strong area for enzymes is carbohydrate chemistry, due to the over-functionalized nature of carbohydrates, difficult to handle in traditional chemistry. Glycosylation can be catalyzed by four main classes of enzymes, glycosyltransferases, glycoside ph

Motivated by collaboration with a global spare parts service provider, we consider a two-echelon inventory system with multiple local warehouses, a so-called support warehouse, and a central warehouse with ample capacity. In case of stock-outs, the local warehouses can receive emergency shipments from the support warehouse or the central warehouse at an extra cost. The focus is on using informatio

This paper presents a study wherein computer supported visualization is used to design and enhance understanding of quality systems. The study attempts to discover if a quality system such as ISO 9000 can be visualized, and how the visualization should be designed in order to support continuous improvement. Three companies in southern Sweden have set up special groups (here called design groups) w

Distributed middleware technologies, such as CORBA can enable finite element software to be used in a more flexible way. Adding functionality is possible without the need for recompiling client code. Applications and libraries can expose their functionality to other applications in a language neutral way, enabling a more direct and easy transfer of data, without the need for intermediate input and
