AbstractSAAB has for a long time used user controlled pilot models in ARES. ARES is a simulation tool used in the desktop environment for simulations and calculations of the JAS 39 Gripen fighter and other aircraft. ARES stands for ?Aircraft Rigid body Engineering Simulation?. To work with these pilot models has been both time-consuming and inefficient.

Detta examensarbete berör värme och ventilation inom arkitekturen. Examensarbetet kommer att visa hur värme- och ventilationssystemen sett ut och utvecklats med tidens gång. Med hjälp utav framtagen information kommer tre koncept att skapas som resultat av att ha kombinerat olika konceptframtagningsmetoder. Målet är att komma fram till en slutsats om hur det optimala huset bör se ut för att värme- och ventilationssystemet ska vara lätt att underhålla och använda samt vara så pass energieffektivt som möjligt samtidigt som det fullgör sitt syfte. För att få ett bra resultat så uppmärksammas alla möjliga faktorer som på större eller mindre skala har inverkan på systemen.

Many of today?s societies are built on established financial structures that are controlled by states and central banks. These structures are built on a clear perception of economic systems as established but invisible institutionalised concepts that are operated by millions of organizations worldwide. An idea of counteracting against centralized economies by introducing a currency that no state or bank controlled was developed in the beginning of the 20th century. In 2008 the idea was realised by the introduction of Bitcoin, which is a digital currency and transaction system without any centralized emitter or controlling organ.

En energikartläggning är en rapport som sammanställer energianvändning i en fastighet eller del av en byggnad. Med hjälp av olika mätningar och beräkningar kan man visa vilka delar i byggnaden som kräver mycket energi, både värme och el. I denna kartläggning ingår utredning av energi till ventilation, radiatorer och värme, vatten, kyla, belysning samt elförbrukning och analys av klimatskalet. Utifrån denna kartläggning kan man sedan utarbeta en åtgärdsplan som kan leda till förändringar och ombyggnationer och omprogrammeringar som sparar in på energianvändningen. Denna rapport innehåller en energikartläggning av Lagret 8 i Skellefteå.

This is a study of some risk factors for Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in dogs. As a pilot study it is meant to give information to be used in a planned later, larger and better controlled study. The present study hypothesized that suboptimal feeding (high percentage of homemade and table foods), lack of activity and overweight contribute to the risk of DM. Twenty consecutive dogs diagnosed with DM at the Veterinary University Clinic in Uppsala between 2000 ? 2003 were chosen as the experimental group.

This report is about helping Q-Med AB in Uppsala to start its implementation of uncertainty of measurements analyses in their manufacturing department. Prior to this, the company relied solely on personal experience or did not take this uncertainty into consideration at all during different kind of measurements, which means that some of the processes that the company previously believed were within specified acceptance limits, will actually fail when considering these sources of uncertainties.Q-Med AB needed some sort of instruction to help the company, in a systematic way, to investigate different types of disorders that are affecting all kinds of measurements. This instruction includes a short summary about measurements and uncertainty of measurements in general and a detailed procedure about how these uncertainties are going to be handled in their daily work.The goal was to be able to use this instruction to systematically locate, eliminate (when possible) and analyze all kinds of disorders when measuring. Q-Med is using a lot of different types of instruments when measuring different types of quantities, including temperature, mass, pressure and density. This instruction will hereafter be used for every instrument, regardless of quantity and type of instrument.The instruction is tested through 4 different kinds of measurements, for mass, temperature and humidity.

My work has been an investigation project with focus on reproduction, method, structure and visual representation. The goal was to investigate how a story changes through time and space as well as how graphic design can affect a story depending on the visual representation. The result is a publication, an exploration of these subjects with the help of the book Expedition Kon-Tiki. Using more or less controlled methods of selections I have created different sorts of reproductions of the expedition. Just as subjective as reality itself..

In this study it was investigated if the adoption of a new routine for quality control could improve the precision of the dimension measurement obtained by harvesters. Data was collected from three different harvesters. First, a reference data set was collected before the new procedures had been incorporated, and then when the new methodology was implemented another data set was collected by the harvester operators, allowing the two data set to be compered. The results indicated that following the implementation of the new procedures, the reliability and the precision of the measurements has increased. All harvesters included in the study had improved regarding most of the controlled factors such as standard deviation, systematic difference and hit rate within ± 2 cm for length and ± 4 mm for diameter..

Till år 2020 har EU satt upp mål om att sänka energianvändningen med 20 %. År 2013 står fastigheter för 40 % av Sveriges totala energianvändning och är på så vis en starkt bidragande orsak till den höga energianvändningen. Som ett led i detta arbete måste energianvändningen i fastigheter minska.Halmstad Kommun har ett stort fastighetsbestånd, där det äger och förvaltar många förskolor. De förskolor som utvärderas i rapporten är Trollbergets förskola i Söndrums Kyrkby och Askens förskola i Oskarström.  De här förskolorna har enligt fastighetsägarna (Halmstad Kommun) en betydligt högre energianvändning än vad som var projekterat.För att undersöka energianvändningen i förskolorna Asken och Trollberget i Halmstad Kommun har det gjorts beräkningar, besiktningar samt enkätundersökningar med personalen. Energiberäkningarna visar att både Asken och Trollberget förbrukar mer energi än vad som är rekommenderat av BBR.

A problem in the field of district heating is the oil burners needed to provide power when a peak load occurs. One possible way of reducing the needed amount of oil is to reduce the power demand for space heating in the district-heating substations when the need for district heating water exceeds a certain limit. This can be done by use of a locally working controller function.In this Thesis the options concerning load priority are evaluated. To evaluate the potential for using controller functions concerning peak load priority an experiment was brought out in a chosen district-heating substation. The impact on the indoor thermal comfort during a heat reduction was also taken into account.

Denna rapport utreder huruvida feedforwardreglering av ventilationssystemet på Kiruna flygplats leder till lägre energianvändning. Rapporten jämför ett feedforwardreglerat system simulerat i Simulink med ett feedbacksystem som motsvarar det existerande systemet på Kiruna flygplats. Jämförelsen görs på fläktens energianvändning och rapporten använder sedan energianvändning för värme och kyla för att avgöra huruvida systemet är ekonomiskt gångbart. Systemet är tänkt att kunna användas i alla miljöer med kända störningar i avseende till tid och storlek som till exempel flygplatser, biosalonger, teatrar och så vidare.Rapporten ger en kort teoretisk bakgrund till hur ventilationskrav, reglerteknik, feedforwardreglering och feedbackreglering fungerar för att sedan gå vidare till att redogöra för de förutsättningar som gäller för Kiruna flygplats med avseende på klimatskalets täthet, rummens volymer och utformning och drifttiden för ventilationssystemet. Med hjälp av simuleringar i Simulink görs en jämförelse av energianvändning då de båda systemen är optimerade utan att för den sakens skull kompromissa med kvalitén på inomhusmiljön.

The Effects of dietary biotin supplementation on hoof health in Swedish dairy cows - a controlled cohort field study. The aim of the present degree project was to investigate the effects of biotin supplementation on hoof health in dairy cows. The experiment was performed as a controlled cohort study in three commercial farms in western Sweden from January 2002 to October 2002. The cows were all housed in cubicle systems with transponder concentrate feeding systems. Within each farm the cows were allocated to either biotin or control treatment. The biotin groups received 20 mg of biotin per cow and day, starting 14 days before expected calving.
