  1. 1. Essays on Regional Growth, Comparative Advantages and Foreign Direct Investments

    Författare :Per Thulin; Pontus Braunerhjelm; David Audretsch; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Agglomeration; agglomeration economies; dynamic comparative advantage; FDI; gross domestic investment; industry-specific effects; institutions; labor mobility; market size; R D; regional growth; relative costs; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four essays, covering four different topics. The first essay investigates the relationship between inter-firm labor mobility and regional productivity growth. Previous studies have shown that density is positively correlated with growth. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Historical patterns of globalization : the growth of outward linkages of Swedish long-standing transnational corporations, 1890s-1990s

    Författare :Richard Palmer; Lennart Schön; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; foreign employment; foreign sales; foreign subsidiaries; globalization; history; Sweden; Swedish economy; transnational corporations TNCs .; Economic History; ekonomisk historia;

    Sammanfattning : The study addresses the outward cross-border linking of the Swedish economy and its most important transnational corporations during the 20th century. It explores the aggregate level of Swedish industry, and most importantly, the firm level of a group of eight long-standing transnational corporations, which during the post-1945 period represented roughly half of Sweden’s foreign industrial activity in terms of employment, e.

  4. 3. Biomass to Biofuel : Syngas Cleaning and Biomass Feedstock

    Författare :Ramiar Sadegh-Vaziri; Matthäus Bäbler; Per Alvfors; Lilian de Martin; Longcheng Liu; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gas-Solid Reaction; ZnO Sul_dation; Outward Growth; Hollow Particles; Algae Flocculation; PBEs; Fractal Clusters; Restructuring of Clusters; Deposition of Clusters; Primary Particle Aggregation.;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis builds around the idea of a biofuel production process that is comprised of biomass production, biomass gasification, gas cleaning, and fuel production. In this work, we specifically looked into H2S removal as a part of cleaning the producer gas and flocculation of microalgae which is involved in the harvesting of microalgae after biomass production.

  5. 4. Nitrogen and Water in High Temperature Corrosion - Insights from First Principle Calculations

    Författare :Vedad Babic; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DFT; alumina; nitridation; corrosion; chromia; hydrogen;

    Sammanfattning : Service life-time of alloys used in high temperature applications is often limited by corrosion. FeCrAl(Re) alloys are partially designed to form a protective α-alumina oxide scale at elevated  temperatures in order to mitigate further oxidation. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Oxidation of Fe- and Ni-aluminides in Dry and Humid Atmospheres

    Författare :Adeline Velon; RISE; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aluminide; alloying element; SEM; high temperature oxidation; intermetallic; XPS; Fe3Al; Cr; water vapour; Ni3Al; AES;

    Sammanfattning : Aluminides based on Ni3Al and Fe3Al offer good mechanical and corrosion properties at high temperatures and are therefore being considered in the automotive and chemical industries. The aim of this work was to study the early stages and the mechanisms of oxide growth on unalloyed Ni3Al and Fe3Al in air. LÄS MER
