  1. 21. Investigation of using a PRET processor on a low-cost, low- power FPGA

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för informations- och kommunikationsteknik (ICT)

    Author : Sam Zamani; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mixed-criticality is a current trend in real-time embedded systems, where software tasks are integrated onto fewer hardware platforms. The basic idea is to use one processor to execute multiple tasks with differing requirements of certification, importance or safety. READ MORE

  2. 22. Evaluation of two distribution grids in terms of PV penetration limits and effectiveness of reactive power controls

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektro- och systemteknik (EES)

    Author : Leonard Hülsmann; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The large integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems as well as wind turbines in the distribution grid poses new challenges on various levels. One of them is the increased steady-state voltage in the low voltage (LV) as well as the medium voltage (MV) grid, caused by the distributed generation. READ MORE

  3. 23. SPARC fast reactor design : Design of two passively safe metal-fuelled sodium-cooled pool-type small modular fast reactors with Autonomous Reactivity Control

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Tobias Lindström; [2015]
    Keywords : Fast Reactor; Reactor Design; Passive; ARC; Autonomous Reactivity Control; SPARC; Safe and Passive with Autonomous Reactivity Control; Generation IV; Sodium; Pool-type; Metal-fuel; Reactivity Sustaining;

    Abstract : In this master thesis a small modular sodium-cooled metal-fuelled pool-type fast reactor design, called SPARC - Safe and Passive with Autonomous Reactivity control, has been designed. The long term reactivity changes in the SPARC are managed by implementation of the the Autonomous Reactivity Control (ARC) system, which is the novelty of the design. READ MORE

  4. 24. Should I stay or should I go? - Exploring the causal operating performance impact of private equity ownership in family firms

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Gustav Axelson; Emil Berg; [2014]
    Keywords : Family firms; Succession; Private equity; LBO; Instrumental variable;

    Abstract : Using a unique dataset from Sweden, this paper explores the causal impact of private equity ownership on operating performance in family firms. We study 69 Swedish leveraged buyouts (LBOs) and find evidence that target firms become more profitable and grow much faster compared to a carefully selected control group. READ MORE

  5. 25. How to Get the Most Out Of Your Embedded Hardware While Keeping Development Time to a Minimum : A Comparison of Two architectures and Two IDEs for Atmel AVR 8-bit Microcontrollers

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för informations- och kommunikationsteknik (ICT)

    Author : Niclas Arndt; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to answer a number of basic questions about microcontroller development: • What’s the potential for writing more efficient program code and is it worth the effort? How could it be done? Could the presumed trade-off between code space and development time be overcome? • Which microcontroller hardware architecture should you choose? • Which IDE (development ecosystem) should you choose? This is an investigation of the above, using separate sets of incremental code changes (improvements) to a simple serial port communication test program. Two generations of Atmel 8-bit AVR microcontrollers (ATmega and ATxmega) and two conceptually different IDEs (BASCOM-AVR and Atmel Studio 6. READ MORE
