  1. 1. Consumers’ willingness to pay for food safety attributes of nectarines : A discrete choice experiment in the Polokwane Municipality of Limpopo, South Africa

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Kgodisho Tshipidi Mashego; [2023]
    Keywords : Food safety attributes; willingness to pay; discrete choice experiments; conditional logit; nectarines;

    Abstract : Consumer concerns about food safety are growing, and there is an increasing demand for quality fruits and vegetables. As such, fruit control procedures and standards should be based on understanding consumers’ choices and preferences. READ MORE

  2. 2. Is there a willingness to pay for shade provision as part of cycling urban infrastructure? Eliciting attributes of a discrete choice experiment in Neiva, Colombia

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jorge Andres Arce Correa; [2023]
    Keywords : Bicycle commuting; shade; sustainable development; stated preference; welfare economics;

    Abstract : This manuscript reports on an exploration of whether shade provision is valued by urban users of cycling infrastructure. A description of the elicitation process has been outlined in order to build a general but detailed analysis of the different stages included in the exercise of attribute elicitation. READ MORE

  3. 3. Efficiency of Different Encoding Schemes in Swarm Intelligence for Solving Discrete Assignment Problems: A Comparative Study

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för programvaruteknik

    Author : Richard Pettersson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background Solving problems classified as either NP-complete or NP-hard has long been an active topic in the research community, and has brought about many new algorithms for approximating an optimal solution (basically the best possible solution). A fundamental aspect to consider when developing such an algorithm is how to represent the given solution. READ MORE

  4. 4. Analysis and implementation of the Smooth Discrete Element Method in AgX

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Beräkningsmatematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Thomas Pettersson; [2015]
    Keywords : Granular Dynamics; Discrete Elemant Method;

    Abstract : We encounter granular materials on a daily basis. We walk up a gravel path or we eat our breakfast cereals. When handling granular materials on an industrial scale it is important to do so efficiently, to avoid unnecessary energy losses, wear and tear. READ MORE

  5. 5. Multirate Control of a DVD Player

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Johan Kaunitz; [2003]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this master theses an existing control system of a DVD player has been modified such that it has become more feasible to implement using limited hardware resources. The discrete controller has already been implemented for evaluation purposes using FPGA technology, and is working well. READ MORE
