Material handling at Volvo Construction Equipment Braas Posted: 30 Sep 2009 06:59 AM PDT Title: Internal material handling at Volvo Construction Equipment Braas Material handling is a large part of a company´s internal work and represents between 15 % and 70 % of the total cost of a manufactured product. By improving the internal handling of material, more efficient distribution and manufacturing flows are possible. The material handling process is [...]

Report: Frequency Oriented Scheduling on Parallel Processors Posted: 30 Sep 2009 06:45 AM PDT The LOIS project aims at building a radio sensor and IT infrastructure in the south of Sweden, primarily with but not limited to the goal of space observations. Signals received produce a gigantic stream of data that has to be processed in real time. The target is to schedule stream computations to computation nodes in [...]

Project Report - Effect of expertise on creative problem solving Posted: 30 Sep 2009 06:30 AM PDT This experimental study was set up to examine if experts' domain-related knowledge induces fixation effect on creative problem solving, and explore the role of an incubation period in creative problem solving. Three hypotheses were put forward and tested. The first one proposed that experts' automatically activated domain-related knowledge fixates their minds when solving creative problems [...]

Project Report on Medical Translation Posted: 30 Sep 2009 06:10 AM PDT Project Title: Analysis of a Medical Translation: Terminology and cultural aspects This analysis deals with the difficulties in translating a medical text from English into Swedish. As primary source, I have used a British textbook about geriatrics called Nursing Older People which is aimed at university students of nursing. The selected chapter is called Person-centred dementia [...]

Efficient content distribution in IPTV environments Posted: 30 Sep 2009 05:15 AM PDT Existing VoD solutions often rely on unicast to distribute content, which leads to a higher load on the VoD server as more nodes become interested in the content. In such case, P2P is an alternative way of distributing content since it makes better use of available resources in the network. In this report, several P2P [...]

Engineering of Context Dependent Quality of Service (QoS) Posted: 30 Sep 2009 04:11 AM PDT The service oriented computing paradigm is a new model for distributed computing and due to its simplicity and powerful features, it is being popular and has a wide variety of implementation in different scenarios. The already built system is studies in detail, which was totally implemented using the Grid Technology. The idea of the current [...]

Ground facility prototype development to support high-integrity aircraft approach and landing using GPS Posted: 30 Sep 2009 03:08 AM PDT The Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) is an augmentation of the Global Positioning System (GPS) to allow for precision approach and landing at airports. Stanford University has, with support from U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), developed a real time prototype of the LAAS Ground Facility (LGF) known as the Integrity Monitor Testbed (IMT). It is [...]

Baseband Implementation and Performance Analysis of the Multiband OFDM UWB System Posted: 30 Sep 2009 02:04 AM PDT In this thesis, we follow the standard proposal IEEE 802.12.3a to implement the MB-OFDM UWB system in C programming language. We also analyze the system performance in the multipath fading channel, the IEEE 802.15.3a channel standard. Four different conditions of frequency and timing synchronization are considered. Since the entire system consists of two subsystems: (a) [...]

Line Probing in VoIP Networks to find Performance Limit of Echo Canceller Posted: 30 Sep 2009 01:01 AM PDT Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has become an increasingly popular way to provide phone services. At this moment there is a transition going on from delivering voice over the Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) to using VoIP technology. Line echo is created in the 2-wire to 4-wire hybrid circuit between the VoIP phone and the [...]

An Investigation into Popular Art Posted: 29 Sep 2009 11:58 PM PDT While Popular Art surrounds us, there have been few scholarly investigations of it. One reason for this is that accounts of Popular Art have not facilitated such investigations into Popular Art. I characterize a work as Popular Art based on the relationships that it bears to the influences that make up Popular Culture and other [...]

Biomethanol Conversion from Sugar Beet Pulp with Pectin Methyl Esterase Posted: 29 Sep 2009 10:55 PM PDT Conversion of renewable biomethanol was studied from sugar beet pulp with pectin methyl esterases (PMEs). An analytical method for methanol and PME activity was developed based on potassium permanganate assay. Results showed that this method was sensitive, accurate and stable. Two PMEs, natural and mutated, were then produced and characterized. The kinetics parameters of Michaelis-Menten [...]

Laser Triangulation Using Spacetime Analysis Posted: 29 Sep 2009 09:53 PM PDT There are many different applications where three dimensional data describing the shape of an object is needed. For example it is used in the wood industry to determine the optimal sawing of logs; in the electronics industry to examine solder paste deposits and in the 3D animation industry to import real objects into animated films. [...]

Online and Offline Approximations for Population based Multi-objective Optimization Posted: 29 Sep 2009 08:49 PM PDT The high computational cost of population based optimization methods has been preventing applications of these methods to realistic engineering design problems. The main challenge is to devise approaches that can significantly reduce the number of function (or simulation) calls required in such optimization methods. This dissertation presents some new online and offline approximation approaches for [...]

Vehicle Shaping for Mine Blast Damage Reduction Posted: 29 Sep 2009 07:41 PM PDT When a buried explosive is detonated beneath a target (such as a vehicle), the target is rapidly loaded by flying ejecta, high pressure gas, and shock waves. This paper explores how changes in the shape of the underside of a target affect the total impulse captured from the detonation of a buried charge. The effects [...]
