Problem Statement Thule is the world leading developer and manufacturer of transportation solutions. Their company strategy is to enable active families, professionals and outdoor enthusiasts to transport equipment by vehicle safely, easily and in style. RV users of today have higher demands on their equipment and they fill their cars with every type of conveniences found in a modern home. With

The aim of this masters’ thesis is to examine how libraries can better services for patrons with invisible disabilities. My hypothesis is that although libraries are legally obliged to pay special attention to persons with disabilities, in reality the special needs of persons with invisible disabilities are often ignored. Invisible disabilities are disabilities that are not immediately apparent. T

In this report we take a new approach to product recommendation. We investigate the the possibility of using a hybrid recommender consisting of contentbased clustering and connections between clusters using collaborative filtering to make good product recommendations. The algorithm is tested on real product and purchase data from two different companies - a big online book store and a smaller onli

Denna uppsats behandlar förutsebarheten gällande termen allvarlig psykisk störning, både till dess definition och hur den tillämpas vid grova våldsbrott. För att undersöka termen har en mängd information beaktas och analyserats för att kunna genom ett brett perspektiv för att utreda termen. Psykiskt avvikande lagöverträdare har särbehandlats straffrättsligt så långt tillbaka som det går att utredThis paper discusses the predictability regarding the term severe mental disorder (allvarlig psykisk störning), both its definition and how its applied in the most serious violent crimes. To research the term through a broad perspective, a wide range of information has been reviewed and analysed. Mentally abnormal offenders have been treated differently within criminal law as far as it is possibl

Previous research indicates that firms pay a premium to poach workers from exporting firms if experience working for an internationally engaged firm reduces trade costs. Because international experience is less valuable to non-exporters, we would expect to see differences in recruitments between firms that are internationally engaged and those that serve only the domestic market. Moreover, increas

The effect of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) adsorption on the physical properties of the two-dimensional (2D) atomic layer superconductor (ALSC) In/Si(111)-(7×3) has been studied by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, transport measurements, and scanning tunneling microscopy. Hole doping from the adsorbed molecules has been reported to increase the superconducting tra

There has not been a satisfying numerical validation of the theory of effective waves in random particulate materials. Validation has been challenging because the theoretical methods for effective waves have been limited to random particulate media in infinite slabs or half-spaces, which require a very large number of particles to perform accurate numerical simulations. This paper offers a solutio

Increasing survival rates for childhood cancer have brought attention to the high level of burden of cancer and its treatment. Improving supportive care for children throughout their cancer trajectory is thus important and could reduce the difficulties related to treatment, including time-consuming treatments and the waiting time associated with treatment procedures. The aim of this study is to de

Perception is not a passive process but the result of an interaction between an organism and the environment. This is especially clear in haptic perception that depends entirely on tactile exploration of an object. We investigate this idea in a system-level brain model of somatosensory and motor cortex and show how it can use signals from a humanoid robot to categorize different object. The model

In this paper, the thermal and hydraulic characteristics of corrugated fluid channels of compact brazed plate heat exchangers (BPHE) are investigated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using the commercial CFD software ANSYS CFX 14.0. The influence of geometry parameters of the corrugated pattern such as chevron angle and corrugation pitch on the BPHE performance is investigated on

The Chrysididae are a group of cleptoparasitic and parasitoid aculeate wasps with a large number of rare and endangered species. The taxonomy of this group has long been confusing due to the similarity of species and extensive intraspecific variation. We present for the first time a comprehensive dichotomous key for all 74 species found in the Nordic and Baltic countries. In addition to diagnostic

The paper investigates the status of general meanings in prepositional semantics. On the basis of a review of the strategies employed in different accounts of prepositions, the paper argues that strict adherence to the notion of general meanings is unfeasible in the field, partly because a purely deductive method of description breaks down as the number of possible oppositions increases. This fail

We consider the symplectic-induced Ginibre process, which is a Pfaffian point process on the plane. Let N be the number of points. We focus on the almost-circular regime where most of the points lie in a thin annulus (Formula presented.) of width (Formula presented.) as (Formula presented.). Our main results are the bulk scaling limits of all correlation functions near the real axis, and also away
