1. Reinforcement in Biology : Stochastic models of group formation and network construction
Sammanfattning : Empirical studies show that similar patterns emerge from a large number of different biological systems. For example, the group size distributions of several fish species and house sparrows all follow power law distributions with an exponential truncation. LÄS MER
2. Optimizing and Approximating Algorithms for the Single and Multiple Agent Precedence Constrained Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem
Sammanfattning : In the planning phases of automated manufacturing, generating efficient programs for robot stations is a crucial problem which needs to be solved. One aspect of the programming is the optimization of task sequences, such as series of welds or measuring points, so that the cycle time is minimized. LÄS MER
3. Identification of principal chemical subsets of biofuel combustion : Ants walking in renewable fire
Sammanfattning : The work in this thesis was carried out to highlight important chemical pathways in skeletal mechanisms for the three smallest alcohol fuels (methanol, ethanol and npropanol), two representative fuel alkanes n-heptane and n-decane, and finally the biodiesel surrogates, methyl-decanoate, methyl-5-decenoate, and methyl-9-decenoate. This aim was set up to further the efforts of creating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) suitable mechanisms, which in turn can be used by the industry to improve, for example, engines or gas turbines, or by academia to further understand turbulent combustion.

4. Attraction Based Models of Collective Motion
Sammanfattning : Animal groups often exhibit highly coordinated collective motion in a variety of situations. For example, bird flocks, schools of fish, a flock of sheep being herded by a dog and highly efficient traffic on an ant trail. LÄS MER
5. Models and Metaheuristics for Real-World Applications of Location and Vehicle Routing Problems
Sammanfattning : The supply chain's underlying infrastructure affects the efficiency and design of distribution routes. As such infrastructure is associated with substantial capital investments, it is crucial to consider the network design and the location of various facilities. LÄS MER
