21. Physics from Wholeness : Dynamical Totality as a Conceptual Foundation for Physical Theories
Sammanfattning : Motivated by reductionism's current inability to encompass the quantum theory we explore an indivisible and dynamical wholeness as an underlying foundation for physics. After reviewing the role of wholeness in the quantum theory we set a philosophical background aiming at introducing an ontology, based on a dynamical wholeness. LÄS MER
22. Efficiency Improvements in Waste-to-Energy Combustion Processes : Method Development and Evaluation
Sammanfattning : is the energy recovery method. The electrical efficiency of this technology, however, is generally low when compared with other solid fuel-fired combustion plants as a result of low steam properties. Furthermore, there is lack of efficient methods to evaluate the performance of this system. LÄS MER
23. Towards Systemic Governance of Critical Infrastructure Protection : State and Relevance of a Swedish Case
Sammanfattning : The protection of infrastructure that is critical to society’s functionality, survival and progression has gained significance for both national security and research because of its large-scale and interdependent nature. Critical infrastructure can be viewed as a complex, socio-technical system-of-systems that imposes extensive requirements on governance efforts to foster critical infrastructure protection (CIP), regardless of whether it involves public organisations, private organisations or both.

24. Random Multigraphs : Complexity Measures, Probability Models and Statistical Inference
Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with multigraphs and their complexity which is defined and quantified by the distribution of edge multiplicities. Two random multigraph models are considered. The first model is random stub matching (RSM) where the edges are formed by randomly coupling pairs of stubs according to a fixed stub multiplicity sequence. LÄS MER
25. On Bayesian graphical model determination
Sammanfattning : A graphical model specifies a graph representation of the independence structure of a multivariate distribution, where nodes represent variables and edges association between variables.This thesis introduces methodology for determination of graphical models for multivariate distributions within the exponential family.
