    Abstract : Shifts to less energy intensive diets based on plant protein are necessary to meet the food demands of 2050. High protein crops such as legumes are a solution that confers farm-level and societal benefits. However, Sweden lacks the physical, societal, and political infrastructure needed for improved production and consumption. READ MORE

  3. 3. Regional Power Asymmetries and their Effects on Regional Integration: The Case of ECOWAS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Axel Fégeant; [2022]
    Keywords : Trade integration; Africa; ECOWAS; Hegemon; Nigeria; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : African regional trade integration remains an understudied field as most of the theories and concepts applied to the phenomenon have been largely drawn in the background of the European context. This study aims to study the Economic Community of West African States by applying a new theoretical approach that posits that there are two logics for developing countries to integrate regionally, an extra-regional and intraregional.

  5. 5. Access Point Selection and Clustering Methods with Minimal Switching for Green Cell-Free Massive MIMO Networks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Qinglong He; [2022]
    Keywords : Cell-free massive MIMO; multi-objective optimization; deep reinforcement learning; AP switch ON OFF; energy efficiency; Cellfri massiv MIMO; multiobjektiv optimering; djup förstärkningsinlärning; AP switch ON OFF; energieffektivitet;

    Abstract : As a novel beyond fifth-generation (5G) concept, cell-free massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) recently has become a promising physical-layer technology where an enormous number of distributed access points (APs), coordinated by a central processing unit (CPU), cooperate to coherently serve a large number of user equipments (UEs) in the same time/frequency resource. However, denser AP deployment in cell-free networks as well as an exponentially growing number of mobile UEs lead to higher power consumption. READ MORE
