1. 1. Enhancing Container Terminal Performance : A Multi Agent Systems Approach

   Författare :Lawrence Henesey; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Container terminals; performance; Multi agents; Agent based technologies;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis seeks to understand and attempt to solve some of the problems that are facing many decision makers at container terminals. The growth of containerization, transporting goods in a container, has created many problems for ports, i.e. higher requirements on terminals and infrastructure. LÄS MER

3. 2. Multi-Agent Systems for Container Terminal Management

   Författare :Lawrence Henesey; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; container terminal; multi-agent systems; mult-agent based simulation; container terminal management;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis describes research concerning the application of multi-agent based simulation for evaluating container terminal management operations. The growth of containerization, i.e., transporting goods in a container, has created problems for ports and container terminals. LÄS MER

4. 3. Fighting flameless fires : Initiating and extinguishing self-sustainedsmoldering fires in wood pellets

   Författare :Ragni Fjellgaard Mikalsen; Vidar Frette; Bjarne C. Hagen; Ulrich Krause; Anne Steen-Hansen; Ulrich Krause; Nieves Fernandez-Anez; RISE; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fuel storage safety; Industrial fire; Biofuels; Smoldering; Extinguishment; Fire suppression; Fire growth; Fire spread; Heat transfer; Nonlinear dynamics; Complex systems; Combustion; Biomass energy; Synchronization; Oscillations; EMRIS;

   Sammanfattning : Smoldering fires represent domestic, environmental and industrial hazards. This flameless form of combustion is more easily initiated than flaming, and is also more persistent and difficult to extinguish. The growing demand for non-fossil fuels has increased the use of solid biofuels such as biomass. LÄS MER

5. 4. Capacity utilisation in short sea shipping

   Författare :Linda Styhre; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sailing schedule; unutilised capacity; improvement measures; Liner short sea shipping; vessel capacity utilisation; route characteristics; strategies;

   Sammanfattning : Shipping is a capital-intensive industry and is characterised by high fixed costs and economies of scale. Trade imbalances and demand variations, market fluctuations and customer demands for high frequency create a situation where shipping companies tend to operate with a high level of unutilised vessel capacity.

7. 5. Architectures of the Unbuilt Environment

   Författare :Helen Runting; Hélène Frichot; Douglas Spencer; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; The Unbuilt Environment; Withdrawal Symptoms; Pastel Cells; Container Technologies; Instant Archives; A Facilitative Environment; The Fog; The Promise of a Lack; The State of Things; The Liquid Seam; In Aggregate; Ghosts in Shells; Images of Desire.; Architecture; Arkitektur;

   Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis offers a critical theorization of architecture’s shifting orientations towards the lives that it inevitably shapes and molds. The fourteen essays that comprise this thesis address a range of seemingly superficial transformations in architecture’s disciplinary landscape, which occur in Sweden in the second decade of the twenty-first century.
