1. 1. Assessing the Eco-efficiency of Swedish Crop Farms and the Role of Subsidies : a Directional Distance Function Approach

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Author : Therese Ratilla; [2023]
   Keywords : Swedish crop farmers; CAP subsidies; FADN; stochastic frontier analysis; multi-output; one-step approach;

   Abstract : The agriculture sector’s contribution to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and its increasing vulnerability to the effects of climate change warrants assessments considering not only on-farm productivity but also the industry’s environmental sustainability. Utilizing the concept of eco-efficiency, this study analyzes the environmental performance of Swedish crop farms by incorporating farm-level GHG emissions as an undesirable output in the production function.

3. 2. Technical efficiency of Swedish district courts : - a stochastic distance function analysis

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi och statistik (NS)

   Author : Ajsuna Ragipi Rushid; [2018]
   Keywords : Technical efficiency; Stochastic distance function; Courts efficiency;

   Abstract : The aim of this study is to measure Swedish district courts’ technical efficiency for the period between 2000 and 2016 by applying the stochastic distance function approach. Although a very important issue from a policy perspective, a few studies have measured the efficiency of the courts. READ MORE

4. 3. Reflected Stochastic Differential Equations on a Time-Dependent Non-Smooth Domain

   University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Adam Lindhe; [2018]
   Keywords : Reflected stochastic differential equations; non-smooth; timedependent; Skorokhod problem; Reflekterande stokastiska differentialekvationer; icke-slät; tidsberoende;

   Abstract : In this thesis we prove existence and uniqueness for reflected stochastic differential equation on a specific non-smooth, time-dependent domain. The domain is the intersection of a finite number of smooth domains that are allowed to vary in time. READ MORE

5. 4. Titanium vacancy diffusion in TiN via non-equilibrium ab initio molecular dynamics

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Teoretisk Fysik

   Author : Davide Gambino; [2016]
   Keywords : Titanium nitride; Ti monovacancy migration; Non-equilibrium ab initio molecular dynamics; Color diffusion algorithm; Statistics for stochastic events;

   Abstract : Transition metal nitrides (TMNs) refractory ceramic materials are  widely employed as wear-resistant protective coatings in industrial machining as well as diffusion barriers inhibiting migration of metal impurities from the interconnects to the semiconducting region of electronic devices. TiN is the prototype of this class of materials and the most studied among TMNs. READ MORE

6. 5. Measurement Based Vehicle-to-Vehicle Multi-link Channel Modeling and Relaying Performance

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

   Author : Xi Chen; [2015]
   Keywords : V2V; wireless; channel model; multilink; relaying; sum of sinusoids; correlated Gaussian; maximum likelihood estimation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : There has been intense research in vehicular communication in order to provide reliable low-latency vehicular communication links for developing intelligent transportation system (ITS). As one of the important properties, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is learned to be inherently non-stationary due to the high mobility of both transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX). READ MORE
