  1. 1. Is reaching for the whisky bottle justified? Examining the value of whisky and its inclusion in the optimal portfolio

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Gustaf Lugnegård; Hugo Freij; [2023]
    Keywords : Whisky; hedonic regression; convenience yield; portfolio theory; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This study aims to evaluate whisky as an investment through two research questions: “What affects the value of whisky?” and “Should whisky be included in the optimal portfolio?”. The value of whisky is examined by constructing a hedonic regression using five hedonic attributes. Also, the convenience yield associated with whisky is examined. READ MORE

  3. 2. Techno-Economic Assessment of a Post-Combustion CO2 Capture Unit in SCA Östrand Pulp Mill

    University essay from KTH/Energiprocesser

    Author : Abhishek Subramani; [2022]
    Keywords : Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage; Post-Combustion Capture; Monoethanol Amine; Chilled Ammonia; Techno-Economic Assessment;

    Abstract : The Paris Agreement has ambitious targets to limit the global warming below 1.5 °Cin the 21st century. This goal is reflected in the national climate targets, for example, Sweden aims to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, and thereafter achieve negative emissions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Do Foreign Exchange Interventions Pay Off? An Empirical Assessment of the Prevented Damage for the Swiss Export Sector

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Celine Heini; [2022]
    Keywords : Foreign Exchange Interventions; Monetary Policy; Swiss Exports;

    Abstract : This thesis conducts a cost-benefit analysis of the Swiss National Bank's foreign exchange interventions from 2009 to 2019, focusing on the Swiss export sector. To that end, the benefit of foreign exchange interventions in terms of the damage that would have occurred to the Swiss export sector in the absence of any foreign exchange interventions is calculated.

  5. 4. Improving maintenance scheduling with condition monitoring on the electric distribution grid : An economic analysis comparing corrective and predictive maintenance

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Hugo Vincenti; [2022]
    Keywords : Condition-based maintenance; predictive maintenance; health index; failure rate; maintenance scheduling; sensors; economic analysis; simulation; Tillståndsbaserat underhåll; förebyggande underhåll; hälsoindex; felfrekvens; underhållsplanering; sensorer; ekonomisk analys; simulering.;

    Abstract : A growing use of sensors on the electric grid has opened the door to new methods of asset management: Distribution System Operators are now looking into conditionbased maintenance, as opposed to the traditional corrective or time-based methods. As an emerging field, the methodology must be constructed from the ground, with the little data available. READ MORE

  6. 5. Soil Moisture Sensing in Mining Waste Rock: Comparing Calibration Curves of Multiple Low-Cost Capacitance Sensors and a Single TDR Sensor

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Rasmus Jørgensen; [2022]
    Keywords : Mining waste rock; soil moisture content; volumetric water content; sensor calibration; Campbell Scientific moisture sensor; Arduino moisture sensor;

    Abstract : Measuring soil moisture content (SMC) in mining waste rock is important for assessing and modelling hydrological processes which influence pollutant release. Here, an experimental setup containing mining waste rock is established to compare the performance of 4 Arduino capacitance moisture sensors to one single Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) sensor.
