Today energy supply is moving towards more renewable, which brings challenges to the power grid. Intermittent power is difficult to predict and cannot be regulated in the same way as conventional power. If the grid is not dimensioned to handle the power peaks, the intermittent power can cause overload on the grid. Overload causes larger losses, can damage electrical components in the grid and/or a

The main purpose of this thesis is to give a basic understanding of the GMV portfolio theory and the problematics that arise when using the sample covariance matrix as the only parameter. The reason for this is the amount of estimation error that tends to increase as the sample covariance matrix goes to a higher dimension. In an attempt to reduce the amount of error, an alternative approach based

This bachelor thesis is a critical policy analysis of two legislative proposals, L155 and L158, currently debated in the Danish Parliament. The proposals concern security measures for the potential extraction of uranium and other raw materials in Greenland. The aim of the paper is to examine the premises of the mentioned discussion and thereby derive knowledge about the current power relations bet

The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of both online and offline fault location and state of health technologies for airport series circuits used to provide power to light fixtures on the runway. In current series circuits, only some ground faults can be detected and no automated fault location or state of health features are available. Fault location is currently performed w

Using derivative securities can help investors increase their expected returns as well as minimize their exposure to risk. For a risk-averse investor, options can offer both insurance and leverage and for a more risk-loving investor they can be used as speculation. Basket option is a kind of option whose payoff de- pends on an arbitrary portfolio of assets. The basket is made out of a weighted sum

This report is about further development of a test rig called the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Test Rig, called the DMRC Test Rig. A method for testing pneumatic valves,used in the systems for train brakes and called brake valves, was developed.The main objective was to automatize the testing of all existing and future developed pneumatic brake valves, made by the company Faiveley Transport, using

Evaluating evacuation experiments is a time consuming work. This report explores the possibilities of an automated time saving procedure with the help of ordinary computer programs and video cameras. Simplifying the procedure means that more types of tests can be made, i.e. walking paths of people turning corners. Trials were performed during two days with fire safety engineering students at the F

Sagem Défense et Sécurité (now Safran Electronics & Defense), a French space and defense company of the SAFRAN group, is working on the next generation of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). This UAS features a fully automatic Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a state-of-the-art navigation system. This navigation system relies mainly on a high-accuracy Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) coupl

The purpose of this report is to study the relationship between the rescue service fire prevention activities and the number of arson fires in schools. An objective of the project is also to investi-gate the need of developing national methods for fire prevention. The results are based on a questionnaire study among 35 fire departments and further interviews with five of them. The results indicate

This report focuses on CFD-calculations using parallel processors carried out with the software Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). From a users point of view the advantages and disadvantages with parallel CFD-calculations were analyzed and evaluated. A simplified me-thod for quantitative evaluation was developed with guidance from ASTM E 1355 whereu-pon relative differences between serial reference sc

I den svenska skadeståndsrätten finns endast en begränsad möjlighet till ersättning då en individ drabbats av en ideell skada. Med Europakonventionen och dess ökade inflytande i rättstillämpningen har dock denna möjlighet utvidgats, med förutsättning att en kränkning av en rättighet i konventionen har kunna konstaterats. Efter inkorporeringen av konventionen i svensk lag blev det ännu tydligare atIn Swedish tort law there is a very limited right to non-pecuniary damages if an individual has suffered moral injury. However, the right to compensation has expanded with the European Conventions on Human Rights and its influence over the application of law in the Swedish courts. This of course granted a violation of a provision in the Convention has been confirmed. After the incorporation of the

Reflektionsseismik har använts i forsknings- och prospekteringsändamål sedan första halvan av 1900-talet. De moderna undersökningar som utförs idag behandlar hela datainsamlingsförloppet digitalt och färdig-behandlad data tillgängliggörs sedan för geologisk tolkning i moderna datorprogram. Det finns dock en stor före-komst av äldre seismisk reflektionsdata som sparats ned på numera omoderna formatSeismic reflection data has been collected for more than half a century for both scientific and industrial purposes. Data sampled in modern surveys are collected, processed and stored digitally. There are, however, large quantities of vintage seismic reflection data that since its original use has been stored away and remains difficult to access in its current form. This data was acquired when it

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om nuvarande svensk lag gällande bristande tillgänglighet, är tillräcklig eller otillräcklig för att öka inkluderingen av individer med funktionsnedsättning i samhället. Regeringens proposition gällande lagen om Bristande tillgänglighet som form av diskriminering har utgjort arbetets primärmaterial. Vidare har litteratur om teoretiska perspektiv på funktionshinderThis thesis has a purpose to investigate on how the Swedish law on accessibility is adequate enough to increase the social inclusion of persons with impairment. The primary material of the thesis is the government bill of accessibility, and there is also other material that has been used, such as books on different theories about disability and accessibility. The method utilized in the thesis is a

Framställningen utgår från frågeställningen hur kallelse till bolagsstämma påverkar bolagsstämmans beslutskompetens. Kallelsen ska innehålla ett förslag till dagordning. Dagordningen i kallelsen har en begränsande funktion för stämmans beslutskompetens genom bestämmelsen i 7 kap. 26 § ABL, vilken föreskriver att stämman inte får fatta beslut i ärenden som inte angivits i dagordningen. Stämman är äThis essay deals with the question to which degree the notice of a general meeting of shareholders limits the meetings powers to make decisions. According to the Companies Act (hereinafter referred to as “ABL”) chapter 7 section 24 the notice must propose, in an agenda, the items which are meant to be dealt with at the general meeting. As a general rule the meeting does not have the power to make

Den Arabiska våren har kommit att fascinera forskare inom flera forskningsfält, inte minst inom freds- och konfliktvetenskap. Denna kvalitativa fallstudie ämnar undersöka två olika samhällsstrukturers påverkan på Tunisiens framgångsrika transitionsprocess: moderniserings- och den antimilitära strukturen. Dessa två strukturer är båda kännetecken för Tunisiens två tidigare presidenter och deras regiThe Arab Spring has come to fascinate scientists in several research fields, not least in peace and conflict studies. This qualitative case study has analyzed the impact of two different social structures on Tunisia's successful transition process: modernization and the anti-military structure.

This essay examines the arguments laid forth by the European Union regarding restrictive measures imposed on the Russian Federation, concerning the illegal annexation of the Crimean peninsula, in an effort to evaluate and classify these grounded in the Toulmin model of arguments and Giumelli’s concepts of Con-straining, Coercing and Signalling. By assessing the arguments made by four EU institutio

Advokaters skadeståndsrättsliga rådgivaransvar bygger på culpaprincipen om inget annat avtalats. Av 1 kap. 1 § SkL framgår att ersättning för ren förmögenhetsskada kräver stöd i lag eller avtal. Juridisk rådgivning sker oftast i uppdragsförhållanden. Advokatens ansvar kallas ofta för professionsansvar och syftar på de specialkunskaper advokaten, som juridisk expert, förväntas ha som medlem i Advok
