6. The Klimontovich description of complex plasma systems : Low frequency electrostatic modes, spectral densities of fluctuations and collision integrals
Sammanfattning : Plasmas seeded with solid particulates of nanometer to micron sizes (complex plasma systems) are a ubiquitous feature of intergalactic, interstellar and planetary environments but also of plasma processing applications or even fusion devices. Their novel aspects compared with ideal multi-component plasmas stem from (i) the large number of elementary charges residing on the grain surface, (ii) the variability of the charge over mass ratio of the dust component, (iii) the inherent openness and dissipative nature of such systems.

7. Automation of front-end loaders : electronic self leveling and payload estimation
Sammanfattning : A growing population is driving automatization in agricultural industry to strive for more productive arable land. Being part of this process, this work is aimed to investigate the possibility to implement sensor-based automation in a particular system called Front End Loader, which is a lifting arms that is commonly mounted on the front of a tractor.

8. Corresponding States Correlations for the Prediction of Thermodynamic Properties of Refrigerants
Sammanfattning : When process equipment such as separation units, heat pumps, and refrigeration systems are simulated or designed, physico-chemical properties of the fluids involved must be known. The outcome of the simulation or design depends on the accuracy of the correlations used in the prediction of physico-chemical data, so it is of the utmost importance that the correlations used correctly describe the properties of the fluids.

9. Simplifying complex models : Application of modeling tools in exposure assessment of organic pollutants
Sammanfattning : Thousands of chemicals are used in society, but the exposure to humans and other organisms has been measured only for a small number of compounds. Modeling tools constitute low-cost and effective alternatives to measurements for the assessment of exposure. LÄS MER
10. Numerical optimization of pacing strategies in locomotive endurance sports
Sammanfattning : This thesis is devoted to the optimization of pacing strategies in two locomotive endurance sports; cross-country skiing and road cycling. It has been established that constant pace and variable power distributions are optimal if purely mechanical aspects of locomotion are considered in these sports. LÄS MER
