  1. 1. Engineering Equality? : Assessing the Multiple Impacts of Electoral Gender Quotas

    Författare :Pär Zetterberg; Li Bennich-Björkman; Per Adman; Christina Bergqvist; Anne Maria Holli; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; quotas; gender; women; equality; representation; participation; candidate selection; Latin America; Political science; Statsvetenskap; Statskunskap; Political Science;

    Sammanfattning : The driving question of this compilation thesis is whether quotas for political assemblies represent an effective tool for breaking down gender inequality in the political sphere. To put it differently, focus is on the possibilities for policy-makers to engineer equality. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Reactive control and coordination of redundant robotic systems

    Författare :Yuquan Wang; Petter Ögren; Abderrahmane Kheddar; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reactive control; dual-arm manipulation; mobile manipulation; ambulance positioning.; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : Redundant robotic systems, in terms of manipulators with one or twoarms, mobile manipulators, and multi-agent systems, have received an in-creasing amount of attention in recent years. In this thesis we describe severalways to improve robotic system performance by exploiting the redundancy. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Interpreting the Sustainable Home - Bridging Discourses on Home and Sustainability in the Housing Sector

    Författare :Pernilla Hagbert; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; sustainability; systems approach; housing development; domestic resource use; home; residential design; architecture;

    Sammanfattning : How we design, build and maintain our homes are increasingly seen as instrumental to the environmental, social and financial impact of the built environment. By examining perspectives on and interpretations of sustainability in housing development, with a focus on discourses within the Swedish housing sector, the aim of this Licentiate thesis is to explore and provide an account of contemporary conceptualizations of the sustainable home.

  5. 4. Dynamic Programming and Time-Varying Delay Systems

    Författare :Bo Lincoln; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik; robotics; Automation; Stability analysis; Time-varying delays; Dynamic programming; Switched linear systems;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is divided into two separate parts. The first part is about Dynamic Programming for non-trivial optimal control problems. The second part introduces some useful tools for analysis of stability and performance of systems with time-varying delays. LÄS MER

  7. 5. On design of low order H-infinity controllers

    Författare :Daniel Ankelhed; Anders Hansson; Anders Helmersson; Jakob Stoustrup; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; H-infinity synthesis; linear systems; linear matrix inequalities; rank constraints; optimization; rational constraints; interior point methods; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

    Sammanfattning : When designing controllers with robust performance and stabilization requirements, H-infinity synthesis is a common tool to use. These controllers are often obtained by solving mathematical optimization problems. The controllers that result from these algorithms are typically of very high order, which complicates implementation. LÄS MER
