  1. 1. Gender, Technology and Knowledge

    Författare :Sara Goodman; Genusvetenskapliga institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Social Studies of Science and Technolgy STS ; Sweden; Gender; sociology; computerization; globalization; gender and work; gender division of labor; midwifery; midwives; India; reproductive technology; globalisation;

    Sammanfattning : During the last 15 years questions concerning gender, technology and knowledge, have become increasingly recognized as central to the field of the sociology of technology. Nonetheless, critical questions remain unanswered. These issues are addressed here through investigations of the relationship between gender, work, knowledge and technology. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is a study of approximation and calibration of stochastic processes with applications in finance. It consists of an introduction and four research papers. The introduction is as an overview of the role of mathematics incertain areas of finance. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Stability of plane Couette flow and pipe Poiseuille flow

    Författare :Per-Olov Åsén; Gunilla Kreiss; Jonathan Goodman; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrodynamic stability; plane Couette flow; pipe Poiseuille flow; direct numerical simulations; resolvent; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the stability of plane Couette flow and pipe Poiseuille flow in three space dimensions. The mathematical model for both flows is the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. Both analytical and numerical techniques are used. We present new results for the resolvent corresponding to both flows. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Studies in knowledge representation : modeling change - the frame problem : pictures and words

    Författare :Lars-Erik Janlert; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; analogical; artificial intelligence; digital; exemplification; frame problem; Goodman; knowledge representation; metaphysics; model; pictorial representation; symbol theory;

    Sammanfattning : In two studies, the author attempts to develop a general symbol theoretical approach to knowledge representation.The first study, Modeling change -the frame problem, critically examines the - so far unsuccessful - attempts to solve the notorious frame problem. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The Architectural Metaphor : Textual Models in Spatial Construction

    Författare :Anders Johansson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Architecture; Architectural theory; Model; Metaphor; Narrative; Representation; Trope; Paul Ricoeur; Max Black; Nelson Goodman; Michel de Certeau;

    Sammanfattning : The dissertation concerns the concept of model withinarchitecture, and elaborates particular uses in this field,where modelling is a heuristic process aiming at invention anddiscovery. Methodologically, this is made by introducing thecomparative concepts of metaphor and narrative. LÄS MER
