  1. 1. Constructing a civilized wilderness. An intersectional discourse analysis of the Sierra Club 1893-1910

    University essay from

    Author : Eleonor Ivdal; [2023-10-05]
    Keywords : the Sierra Club; intersectional theory; discourse analysis; civilization; American wilderness; national park movement; gender; class; race; ethnicity;

    Abstract : This study investigates if and how the Sierra Club adapted complex and contradictory rationalizations to legitimize their authority in wilderness and civilization. The study aims thereby to enhance our understanding of the origin narrative of the American preservation and conservation movement at the turn of the twentieth century which depicted white male heroes as discoverers and protectors of a pristine wilderness.

  3. 2. Navigating the Seas of Change: A Grounded Theory Analysis of the First Adopters of Wind Propulsion Technology in the Shipping Industry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för tjänstevetenskap

    Author : Sofia Laaksonen; Shazbah Shafi; [2023]
    Keywords : grounded theory; wind propulsion technology; shipping industry; sustainability; paradigm model; conditional consequential matrix; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Study purpose: The maritime shipping industry, particularly the commercial sector, is a significant contributor to carbon emissions and environmental pollution. Various solutions are being proposed to enhance the sector's sustainability, including the adoption of wind propulsion technologies. READ MORE

  4. 3. Build of an open source AGV

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Roberto Carlos Barnhardt; Juan Carlos Núñez Hergueta; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Logistics has become one of the most important aspects in industry. In modern production, factories are dealing with throughputs which were unthinkable barely half a century ago. READ MORE

  5. 4. Computational and accuracy benchmarking of simulation and system-theoretic models for production systems engineering

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Antonio José Ramos Calderón; [2021]
    Keywords : DES; benchmarking; lean buffer; optimization; simulation software; performance measure; plant simulation; FACTS; PSE toolbox;

    Abstract : The modern industry has an increasing demand for simulation software able to help workers and decision-makers visualize the outputs of a specific process in a fast, accurate way. In this report, a comparative study between FACTS (Factory Analyses in ConcepTual phase using Simulation), Plant Simulation, and PSE (Production System Engineering) Toolbox is done regarding their capacity to simulate models with increasing complexity, how accurate they are in their outputs with different optimized buffer allocations, and how well they perform on the task of detecting the bottlenecks of a process.

  6. 5. Development of Acoustic Simulations using Parametric CAD Models in COMSOL

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Rubén Noya Pozo; Antoine Bouilloux-Lafont; [2019]
    Keywords : parametric CAD models; KBE; acoustic simulations; optimisation; collaboration; MDO; Parametriska CAD modeller; KBE; akustiksimulering; optimering; samarbete; MDO;

    Abstract : With constantly changing regulations on emissions, heavy commercial vehicles manufacturers have to adapt for their products to preserve their quality while meeting these new requirements. Over the past decades, noise emissions have become a great concern and new stricter laws demand companies to decrease their vehicle pass-by noise target values. READ MORE
