  1. 16. Emergence of Regional Actor Systems - Generic Technologies and the Search for Useful or Saleable Applications

    Författare :Magnus Holmén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; platforms; innovation systems; regions; technological convergence; regional renewal; technology; technology and science indicators; industrial dynamics; serendipity; research instrumentalities and development tools;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this Ph.D. dissertation is to explore the development and economic exploitation of generic technologies in a regional setting. The rationale for the study is that an analysis of technology and technological development is lacking in studies of regional settings. LÄS MER

  2. 17. Supply network configuration for small-series apparel production in high-cost contexts : Opportunities and challenges from selected EU countries

    Författare :Sara Harper; Rudrajeet Pal; Vijay Kumar; Liz Barnes; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; high-cost contexts; customization; supply network configuration; priorities; challenges; paradox theory; högkostnadssammanhang; kundanpassning; konfiguration av försörjningsnätverk; prioriteringar; utmaningar; paradoxteori; Textil och mode generell ; Textiles and Fashion General ;

    Sammanfattning : In high-cost textile and apparel industry contexts, local and small-series production models (demand-driven/on-demand) are increasingly relevant due to various pressures, including global risks, and demands to reduce overproduction for profitability and environmental sustainability. However, understanding how such reconfigurations impact supply chains more broadly, and what are the associated implementation challenges, is required. LÄS MER

  3. 18. Innovation for biorefineries – Networks, narratives, and new institutions for the transition to a bioeconomy

    Författare :Fredric Bauer; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bioeconomy; biorefineries; innovation; socio-technical transitions;

    Sammanfattning : The transition to a bioeconomy is dependent on transformative changes to technologies, organisations, and institutions, which jointly can be described as a socio-technical change. The thesis contributes to the understanding of how the transition is shaped by expectations on and collaborations for innovation forbiorefineries, which can produce chemicals, fuels, and materials needed in a bioeconomy.

  4. 19. Systems biology of protein synthesis and secretion in yeast

    Författare :Qi Qi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; recombinant protein production; protein synthesis; multi-omics analysis; protein secretion; genome-scale modeling;

    Sammanfattning : Protein synthesis and secretion is a vital process to maintain cell function. As it demands numerous building blocks, cofactors and chaperones generated from metabolism and translation, the process is intertwined with metabolic and regulatory networks. LÄS MER

  5. 20. Emerging networks of power: Exploring sociotechnical pathways towards future electricity systems based on renewable energy technologies

    Författare :Kristina Hojcková; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; entrepreneurs; context; sociotechnical systems perspective; Technological Innovation System; Multilevel Perspective; electricity system; transition pathways; incumbents; renewable energy; energy users;

    Sammanfattning : In the effort to fight climate change, electricity systems around the world are undergoing a transition from fossil-fuelled to renewable energy-based production of electricity. The transition can, however, be attained in several radically different ways, ranging from global or continental super-grids, via local smart-grids, to self-sufficient off-grid communities and households of electricity prosumers.
