This study is a comparison between the two natural textile fibers cotton and hemp. A comparison of the various phases in the fibers’ respective lifecycles is prepared by compiling and organizing data in a MET- matrix. This matrix is then analyzed in order to discern what environmental effects are associated with each textile fiber. Apart from raising concerns regarding the fact that sustainable fi

Under 2015 så har detta examensarbete i teknisk design genomförts. Målet har varit att konstruera och bygga en miniatyr av en befintlig produktions enhet för nanofibertillverkning, med förbättringar och omkonstruktion av befintliga delar. Detta har gjorts via Cellevate AB, ett lundabaserat företag inom nanofibertillverkningsbranschen. Som bas för genomförandet av detta har ett urval av metoder anvThis master’s thesis presents the design and construction of a centrifugal electrospinning nano-fiber production unit.

Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) är en variant på det mer kända Han- delsresandeproblemet. VRP går i stort ut på att finna rutter för en flotta av fordon som ska besöka ett antal kunder och i vissa fall optimera dessa rutter för att minimera sträckan som fordonen färdas. Det förekommer ofta flera bivillkor, exempelvis att en viss kund måste besökas innan en viss tidpunkt. Jag har undersökt lättheten The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a variant of the more famous Travel- ling Salesperson Problem.
