  3. 17. Experimental Determination of Aeracoustic Sources in Low Mach Number Internal Flows

    Författare :Andreas Holmberg; Hans Bodén; Lars Enghardt; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aeracoustics; ducts; N-ports; scattering matrix; wave decomposition; source determination; over-determination; flow noise; fluid-acoustic interaction; fluid-structure-acoustic interaction; wave number; T-junction; power balance; grazing-bias flow; Acoustics; Akustik; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the in-duct experimental methods for determining aeroacoustic N-ports of in-duct elements are discussed and improved. The scattering matrix determination methods and the related wave decomposition methods are evaluated from measurements in an empty duct carrying a mean flow. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Contract Choice and Trust in Informal Groundwater Markets

    Författare :Yashodha Yashodha; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Output-shared contract; Fixed-price contract; Lab-in-field experiment; Random parameter model; Endogenous matching; Omitted variable bias; Trust; Altruism; Kinship;

    Sammanfattning : Bargaining and Contract Choice: Evidence from Informal Groundwater Contracts Informal market arrangements are often in place when formal institutions are too weak to establish a formal mechanism for resource allocation. In this paper, we study informal groundwater contracts in India, in particular, the bargaining power of sellers and buyers. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Essays on Social Comparison

    Författare :Fredrik W. Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Marginal degree of positionality; relative consumption; marginal propensity to consume; self-reported current happiness; self-reported expected future happiness; relative academic performance; comparison wage; permanent income consumers; current income consumers; rule of thumb consumers; aggregation bias; sick listing; social norms;

    Sammanfattning : Paper 1: By using hypothetical choice experiments, this paper presents evidence that individuals’ concern for relative consumption depends on their relative consumption. Individuals with consumption levels above society’s average consumption level tend to have, in general, lower concern for relative consumption. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Case-crossover studies of the triggering of disease : myocardial infarction and Ménières disease

    Författare :Jette Möller; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Myocardial infarction; Ménières disease; case-crossover; trigger; physical exertion; anger; sexual activity; life events; misclassification; recall bias;

    Sammanfattning : The general objective of this thesis is to contribute to understanding of the aetiology of myocardial infarction. It focuses on identification and risk-quantification of the factors acting late in the causal chain towards manifest myocardial infarction, so-called triggers, by using the case-crossover design.
