  1. 26. What if…? – How AI Chatbots Could Reconfigure Grocery Shopping In-store

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Hans Krugenberg; Kevin Ruf; [2023-07-03]
    Keywords : Digitalisation; Artificial Intelligence; Chatbots; Practice Theory; Retailing; Focus Groups;

    Abstract : In the light of the rapid development of AI technology, this paper aims to explore how the integration of the novel application of an AI chatbot would reconfigure the practice of grocery shopping in brickand- mortar stores contributing to the trend of self-service. Based on a hypothetical scenario discussed in focus groups and drawing on practice theory, the study points out that, by adding this new element, the links between the elements of the practice would change, inducing a change in meaning from purely functional to more inspirational.

  3. 27. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage for Innovative Hybrid CSP/PV Plants : A Comprehensive Design Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Centonze; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : By means of a literature review, critical parameters in the context of thermal energy storage systems, particularly packed bed thermal energy storage systems are identified. The goals of this thesis project are to come up with an optimized design for a PBSTES and to evaluate the thermal performance of alternative storage materials derived from byproducts of industrial processes and natural rocks in order to reduce the environmental impact of the designed system.

  4. 28. Program And Design Of A Pcb For A Traffic Controller : New hardware material for Halmstad University

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Author : Tabark Saleh; Yasmen Assad; [2023]
    Keywords : PCB; FPGA; KiCad; Arduino; VHDL;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to develop hardware for laboratory in courses such asSwitching Theory at Halmstad University which can help students tounderstand practical applications of the hardware they are studying atuniversity. To achieve this, a printed circuit board (PCB) that simulates trafficintersections has been designed, constructed, and tested. READ MORE

  5. 29. Thermal Conversion of Cellulose-Lignin Precursors into Carbon Fibres

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Sofia Westberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon fiber; lignin; cellulose; continuous conversion;

    Abstract : Carbon fibres are used in many applications thanks to their exceptional tensile properties in relation to their relatively low weight. These thin strands of at least 90% carbon are mixed with a matrix such as epoxy to form composites used for cars, wind turbines, prosthetics, and many other things. READ MORE

  6. 30. Effect of temperature on early stage adhesion during TiAlN sliding against Inconel 718 and Stainless steel 316L : High temperature tribology

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Ahsan Ali; [2023]
    Keywords : High temperature tribology; Early-stage adhesion; Adhesive wear; Friction; Wear resistant coatings; Physical vapour deposition PVD coatings; TiAlN; Tungsten carbide WC Co ; Difficult to machine super alloys; Inconel 718; Stainless steel 316L; High-performance materials; Abrasion; Oxidation; Chipping; Ploughing; Characterization;

    Abstract : High-performance materials such as stainless steels and nickel based super alloys are widely used in demanding applications where high mechanical and thermal properties are required. The applications of super alloys are mainly found in jet engines, power plants and gas turbines demanding high fatigue strength, corrosion and oxidation resistance as well as wear resistant properties.
