  1. 11. Life cycle assessment of metal laser powder bed fusion : A deep dive into the significance of system boundary expansion and improvement potential

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

    Author : Christian Rotter; Erik Fagerberg; [2023]
    Keywords : additive manufacturing; life cycle assessment; powder bed fusion; system boundaries; metal laser powder bed fusion; environmental impact; global warming potential;

    Abstract : Metal additive manufacturing (MAM) is a manufacturing technology experiencing a rapid expansion rate. Metal laser powder bed fusion (ML-PBF) is among the most popular techniques in this field. The environmental implications of it are often discussed in literature and compared to conventional manufacturing. READ MORE

  3. 12. The correlation between guilt and shame to quality of life – gender, cultural and general population

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Charlotte Boogers; Gay-Lynne Langeveld-Ceres; [2023]
    Keywords : moral emotions; guilt; shame; health-related quality of life; coping strategies; moraliska känslor; skuld; skam; hälsorelaterad livskvalitet; Strategier för hantering;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to bridge the gap between two emotions, guilt, and shame, and their interplay with perceived physical, psychological, social, and emotional well-being among healthy adults. Hence, we set out to examine how guilt and shame relate to health-related quality of life. READ MORE

  4. 13. Foreign Direct Investment, a blessing, or a burden for African states in terms of corruption?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Kajsa Nebrelius; [2023]
    Keywords : Foreign direct investment; corruption; state fragility; Africa; Botswana; Zambia; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : The development in Africa has for a long time been harmed because of its high corruption levels. During the last decades, Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) have increasingly flown into African states as an attempt to strengthen the societies. READ MORE

  5. 14. Comparative Analysis of On-site vs Off-site green-Hydrogen Value Chain Scenarios to cover projected Aviation demand : A case for Toulouse Blagnac Airport in France

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Stathis Alexandrou; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrogen Production; Value Chain Analysis; Levelized Cost of Hydrogen Production LCOH ; Hydrogen for Aviation; France; Toulouse Airport; Analys av vätgasens värdekedja; kostnader för vätgasens försörjningskedja; LCOH; flytande vätgas; vätgas för luftfarten; Frankrike; Toulouse Airport; ;

    Abstract : Amidst the efforts to mitigate the energy-related carbon emissions of human activities and pursuing a net-zero future by 2050, the aviation sector, as part of a wider group of hard-to-decarbonize sectors is responsible for 12% of all the transportation emissions globally. Green Hydrogen as a zero-emissions alternative fuel from water and renewable energy serves as a prime candidate to replace conventional aviation fuels and lead the way towards carbon-free flights.

  6. 15. A Conjugate Residual Solver with Kernel Fusion for massive MIMO Detection

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Centrum för forskning om tillämpade intelligenta system (CAISR)

    Author : Ioannis Broumas; [2023]
    Keywords : MIMO; massive MIMO; GPU; CUDA; Software Defined Radio; SDR; MMSE; ZF; zero-forcing; parallel detection; iterative methods; conjugate residual; parallel computing; kernel fusion;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a comparison of a GPU implementation of the Conjugate Residual method as a sequence of generic library kernels against implementations ofthe method with custom kernels to expose the performance gains of a keyoptimization strategy, kernel fusion, for memory-bound operations which is to makeefficient reuse of the processed data. For massive MIMO the iterative solver is to be employed at the linear detection stageto overcome the computational bottleneck of the matrix inversion required in theequalization process, which is 𝒪(𝑛3) for direct solvers.
