  1. 1. Models for Additive and Sufficient Cause Interaction

    Författare :Daniel Berglund; Timo Koski; Helga Westerlind; Ola Hössjer; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Causal Inference; Sufficient Cause; Potential Outcomes; Counterfactual; Additive Interaction; Interaction; MFPO; ICI; Logistic Regression; Linear Odds; Public Health; Interventions; Probabilistic Potential Outcome; Matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to develop and explore models in, and related to, the sufficient cause framework, and additive interaction. Additive interaction is closely connected with public health interventions and can be used to make inferences about the sufficient causes in order to find the mechanisms behind an outcome, for instance a disease.

  3. 2. Predicting the Energy Performance of Buildings : A Method using Probabilistic Risk Analysis for Data-driven Decision-support

    Författare :Tomas Ekström; Avdelningen för Byggnadsfysik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy efficiency; Probabilistic risk assessment; Risk analysis; Simulation and modeling; Field measurements;

    Sammanfattning : As most countries worldwide continue to mitigate climate change, one area of focus is a building's energy efficiency. Buildings currently account for approximately 40 per cent of the total energy use in the European Union. One solution for reducing the energy demand from buildings is by continually implementing more stringent building regulations. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Probabilistic Risk Assessment of Energy Efficient Retrofitting Techniques - Focus on Multi-family Dwellings and the Effects of Changing Air Movements

    Författare :Simon Pallin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Many of the residential buildings in Sweden have a large need of retrofitting; a result of insufficient maintenance and natural decay due to their predicted end of service life. These buildings must be taken into consideration in a near future where new and adapted technical solutions are required, suitable for the present conditions and the new demands of energy use.

  5. 4. Deep Brain Stimulation Atlases in Movement Disorders : from Patient-Specific to Group Analysis

    Författare :Dorian Vogel; Karin Wårdell; Simone Hemm; Anders Eklund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established method for symptom control in movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). The treatment consists in delivering electrical stimulation in the deep brain via multi-contact electrodes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Refining the fatigue assessment procedure of existing steel bridges

    Författare :John Leander; Raid Karoumi; Bert Norlin; John D. Sørensen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fatigue; Steel bridges; Assessment; Reliability; Monitoring; Utmattning; stålbroar; bärighetsberäkning; tillförlitlighet; mätningar; Söderström; getingmidjan;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis treats the fatigue assessment process of steel bridges. The purpose is to identify areas with potential of enhancement with an overall aim of attaining a longer service life. The aging bridge stock in Sweden and in many other developed countries is an impending economical burden. LÄS MER
