  1. 21. Impact of Economic Regulation on Distributed Generation Integration in Electricity Distribution Grids

    Författare :Angela Picciariello; Lennart Söder; Karin Alvehag; Gert Brunekreeft; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Distributed generation; distribution economic regulation; regulatory impact; distribution tariff design; cost allocation methodologies; cross subsidies; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Energy policies in favor of a larger adoption of renewable energy sources for electricity production purposes and the significant progress of several renewable technologies are among the main drivers behind an increasing integration of distributed generation (DG) in distribution networks.DG affects distribution network planning and operation and, consequently, higher or lower network costs than in a traditional passive network scenario arise.

  3. 22. Decision Support Model for a Sustainable Regional Water Supply

    Författare :Karin Sjöstrand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multi-criteria decision analysis; inter-municipal cooperation; drinking water supply; cost-benefit analysis; decision support; regionalization; sustainability; economic valuation;

    Sammanfattning : Water supply provision has traditionally been a municipal responsibility. However, environmental, social and economic drivers are now making it more attractive to manage the water services in a more aggregated way. LÄS MER

  4. 23. The Influence of Climate and Public Health Interventions on Aedes Vectors and Dengue in Sri Lanka

    Författare :Prasad Liyanage; Joacim Rocklöv; Yesim Tozan; Hasitha Tissera; Flemming Konradsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dengue; weather; climate; El Niño; Aedes vector indices; human mobility; vector control; cost-effectiveness analysis; Sri Lanka; Kalutara.;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Dengue, a viral infection transmitted by Aedes mosquitos, flourishes in urban tropical environments by a complex process. Interactions among susceptible humans, dengue viruses, and Aedes mosquitoes determine dengue transmission patterns, and these interactions are modified by driving factors related to weather, the environment, and human behaviour, including mobility.

  5. 24. Cost effective nutrient abatement in the Baltic Sea : analyzing impacts of climate change and technological development

    Författare :Martin Lindqvist; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to increase the understanding of cost-effective nutrient abatement in the Baltic Sea. This is done under various assumptions about the underlying abatement measures available to the social planner, future changes in nutrient outflow caused by climate change as well as the impact of technical change on the cost of abatement.

  7. 25. Statistical Modeling and Learning of the Environmental and Genetic Drivers of Variation in Human Immunity

    Författare :Jacob Bergstedt; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : During the last decade the variation in the human genome has been mapped in fine detail. Next generation sequencing has made it possible to cheaply and rapidly aquire vast amounts of biomolecular information on large cohorts of people. LÄS MER
