1. 1. The power of commitment : Skin in the game and its impact on firm performance

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för management (MAN)

   Author : Annie Hallengren; Tova Gunnarsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Skin in the game; Board of directors; Corporate Governance; Agency theory; Firm performance;

   Abstract : Corporate governance's main purpose is to ensure that companies act in a way that is beneficial for their shareholders. This study presents skin in the game as a possible solution and investigates its impact on firm performance on the Swedish market. READ MORE

3. 2. Multiscale & Multiphysics Modelling of Thrust Pad (Air) Bearings

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

   Author : Nipon Roy; [2023]
   Keywords : Finite element modelling; Air bearing; Multiphysics simulations; Air lubrication; surface texture; Topology optimization;

   Abstract : Without lubrication, machines are not imaginable to perform over a long period of time and complete their designated operations. With its omnipresent availability, the air is capable of functioning as a lubricant in long operations very efficiently. Moreover, thrust bearings support axial loads and transmit power at the same time under heavy loads. READ MORE

4. 3. Magnetic field separation for current prediction in three-phase systems : Regression-based current prediction

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

   Author : Sara Lenman; Sofia Blaad; [2023]
   Keywords : Alternating Current; Crosstalk Separation; Magnetic field sensors; Regression; Sensor technology; Three-phase system;

   Abstract : Current controls the motion of a manipulator. The manipulators at ABB are powered by a three-phase alternating current system where shunt resistors are utilised to measure the current to the motors. Magnetic field sensors are instead investigated to eliminate issues with power losses, the number of components and the cost of the shunt resistors. READ MORE

5. 4. Carbon Capture for Biomass Combustion

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Anders Amundsson; [2023]
   Keywords : beccs; ccs; carbon capture; AMP DMSO; amine absorption; heat integration; chemical engineering; environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In order to limit global warming, bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technologies are getting increased attention. To meet emission scenarios, an estimated 4000 carbon capture plants are expected to be required by 2030, indicating that progress in carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment is currently lagging behind expectation.

6. 5. Exploratory analysis of immunological responses in wild and laboratory mice

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Ilia Alekseev; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The use of mice as a model organism in biomedical research is widespread due to their similarities with humans in anatomy and physiology. However, the genetic isolation of inbred strains from natural populations raises concerns about the reliability of these models. READ MORE
