1. Design in the space between stories : design for social innovation and sustainability–from responding to societal challenges to preparing for societal collapse
Sammanfattning : We seem to be approaching the end of the era we know as Industrial Civilization. If this is the case, we will leave a stable period of progress and growth and enter into a long period of decline where many of our systems and support structures will collapse. LÄS MER
2. Core-collapse Supernovae : Theory vs. Observations
Sammanfattning : A core-collapse supernova (CCSN) is an astronomical explosion that indicates the death of a massive star. The iron core of the star collapses into either a neutron star or a black hole while the rest of the material is expelled at high velocities. LÄS MER
3. Gravitational collapse in bimetric gravity
Sammanfattning : Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been the prevailing theory of classical gravity for over a century. Its observational consistency is unparalleled. There are however a few (arguably) serious short-comings. LÄS MER
4. Collective Collapse and Performance Contagion in Basketball
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, collective collapse in basketball is investigated. Although experienced by most team sport players, the phenomenon still puzzles the world of sports. Collective collapse is described as a sudden decrease in performance quality by a sport team, often with a devastating effect on the game outcome. LÄS MER
5. Numerical Modelling of Timber Building Components to Prevent Disproportionate Collapse
Sammanfattning : An increasing number of multi-storey buildings are being constructed with engineered wood products, such as glulam or cross-laminated timber (CLT). Multi-storey timber buildings can be safely designed for foreseeable loads, but knowledge is limited concerning their ability to survive unforeseeable events, e.g. LÄS MER
