11. Analysing Sustainable Urban Transport and Land-Use : Modelling tools and appraisal frameworks
Sammanfattning : Sustainable development and climate change is high on the agenda for most cities around the world today. Urban transport is at the heart of these changes. Increasingly, it is recognised that not only is the emission of pollutants and greenhouse gases a problem, but also the detrimental effects of congestion and social exclusion. LÄS MER
12. Continuity and Change : Essays on path-dependence in economic geography and good food
Sammanfattning : How can it be, that in our rapidly changing world certain things remain recognisably the same for such a long time? This dissertation is concerned with the economic geography of path-dependence and seeks to explain selected everyday examples of continuity and change. How can French restaurants and chefs be successful for decades despite changes in taste? Why are cars powered by fossil fuels still around while there are many novel and cleaner alternatives? What explains the re-invention of local food products in spite of the influx of many new products from around the world? These are the question this dissertation tries to explain as spatial expressions of ‘path-dependence’. LÄS MER
13. Finite Difference Methods for Wave Dominated Problems
Sammanfattning : Wave models are an important class of models that describe many diverse phenomena such as sound waves, fluid flow, and quantum mechanics. These models are often described mathematically as partial differential equations (PDE). Often these equations do not admit solutions on closed-form and then the only option to study them is numerical methods. LÄS MER
