  1. 11. Developing a Test Method to Evaluate the Blackout Effect of Uncoated Curtains at Varying Angles

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Sara Muminovic; Christina Lindén; [2023]
    Keywords : Blackout effect; blackout curtain; uncoated woven curtains; angle interval; light transmission; light box; light diffuser; microscopic image analysis;

    Abstract : This study aimed to explore the integration of varying angles in small-scale measurements and assess the light transmission performance of uncoated curtains. A total of four curtains were evaluated: blackout curtain samples 1 and 2 had a weft satin structure, while daytime curtain samples 3 and 4 consisted of a twill structure. READ MORE

  3. 12. Product-Service Systems for Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers: The Role of External Partnerships

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Pedro Scherma de Carvalho; [2023]
    Keywords : Product-Service System; Collaboration; Partnership; Barriers; Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers;

    Abstract : The current patterns of consumption are threatening the availability of natural resources. These natural resources, such as raw materials and biomass, are critical for different economic activities. ProductService System (PSS) has received attention as a solution to drive resource efficiency by extending the life cycle of products. READ MORE

  4. 13. Development of a Product Circularity Indicator Suitable for the EPD-scheme of Construction Products : A Review of Product Circularity Indicators and their Potential Applicability in EPDs for the Construction Sector

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Anna Hallberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Circular Economy; Product Circularity; Indicator; EPD; Construction Products; Green Buildings; Cirkulär Ekonomi; Produktcirkuläritet; Indikator; EPD; Byggprodukter; Hållbara Byggnader;

    Abstract : A change in resource consumption patterns is crucial to avoid climate change, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to increase climate resilience and consequently, the idea of a circular economy (CE) has gained widespread attention. The resource intense building and construction sector has become subject to both internal and external pressure to become more circular. READ MORE

    Abstract : The concept of future sustainability is driving efforts toward the efficient improvement of energy systems. District heating systems play a key role in balancing the energy system by improving performance and flexibility. READ MORE

  6. 15. Exploration and Evaluation of RNN Models on Low-Resource Embedded Devices for Human Activity Recognition

    University essay from KTH/Mekatronik och inbyggda styrsystem

    Author : Helgi Hrafn Björnsson; Jón Kaldal; [2023]
    Keywords : Recurrent Neural Networks; Long Short-Term Memory Networks; Embedded Systems; Human Activity Recognition; Edge AI; TensorFlow Lite Micro; Recurrent Neural Networks; Long Short-Term Memory Networks; Innbyggda systyem; Mänsklig aktivitetsigenkänning; Edge AI; TensorFlow Lite Micro;

    Abstract : Human activity data is typically represented as time series data, and RNNs, often with LSTM cells, are commonly used for recognition in this field. However, RNNs and LSTM-RNNs are often too resource-intensive for real-time applications on resource constrained devices, making them unsuitable. READ MORE
