  1. 26. Domestic energy consumption and social living standards : a GIS analysis within the Greater London Authority area

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Agnieszka Griffin; [2014]
    Keywords : energy efficiency measures; domestic energy consumption; index of multiple deprivation; CO2 emissions; Geographically Weighted Regression GWR ; GIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : People’s everyday needs are expressed in demands for goods and services. These demands are directly related to the production processes and the use of resources, including energy resources. Domestic energy consumption depends on the weather conditions, the energy performance of the building, and fuel prices. READ MORE

  2. 27. Optimal Design of Cost- and Energy-Efficient ScalablePassive Optical Backbone Networks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för informations- och kommunikationsteknik (ICT)

    Author : Farzad Abtahi; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Advances in optical coherent transmissions and electrical compensation technologies have stimulated the exploration of novel optical network architectures. Filterless optical backbone networks (F-OBNs) eliminate or minimize the usage of active photonic reconfigurable components, which is also referred to as passive OBN. READ MORE

  3. 28. Semi-filterless Optical Network : A Cost-efficient Passive Wide Area Network with Effective Resource Utilization

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för informations- och kommunikationsteknik (ICT)

    Author : Sahar Khanmohamadi; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Two novel passive wide area network (WAN) approaches, filterless and semi-filterless optical networks, utilizing advanced optical coherent transmission and electrical compensation technologies are introduced. These approaches are able to eliminate or reduce the use of expensive active photonic reconfigurable components by interconnecting nodes with passive components. READ MORE

  4. 29. Distributed Coordination Schemes for Periodic Loads for Demand Side Management

    University essay from KTH/Kommunikationsnät

    Author : Tian Xia; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Demand side management (DSM) is a means to improve the energy efficiency, reduce the greenhouse gas emission, the consumers’ cost and the power grid investments. Due to the energy shortage and environmental problems, DSM has received more attention in recent decades. READ MORE

  5. 30. Investigation of ZnO nanorods for UV detection

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för informations- och kommunikationsteknik (ICT)

    Author : David Boban Rihtnesberg; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In recent years, there has been increasing interest in ZnO semiconductors for optoelectronic application in the UV wavelength region due to its large exciton binding energy of 60 meV and wide bandgap energy of 3,37 eV at room temperature. One-dimensional ZnO nanostructures such as nanorods or nanowires have been considered as promising candidates for UV sensing and detecting applications owing to its high surface to volume ratio.
