Do Take it Personal: It's Not What You Say, It's Who (and Where) You Are!

Issue management in market-driven software projects is constantly under time pressure. A limited set of developers must share their time between developing features for the next release and resolving reported issues. Project managers need to find the appropriate balance between a high quality product and fast time to market. We study a telecom company in Sweden developing embedded systems for a co

Study on the Level of Confidence for Roll-back Recovery with Checkpointing

Increasing soft error rates for semiconductor devices manufactured in later technologies enforces the use of fault tolerant techniques such as Roll-back Recovery with Checkpointing (RRC). However, RRC introduces time overhead that increases the completion (execution) time. For non-real-time systems, research have focused on optimizing RRC and shown that it is possible to find the optimal number of

Metabolic Control Points in Ethanolic Fermentation of Xylose by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vanlig bagerijäst, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, används i storskalig etanol framställning från majs och sockerrör. Användandet av dessa råvaror för etanolproduktion konkurerar dock med framställning av spannmål för föda och djurhushållning. Den här avhandlingen har syftat till att få bagerijäst att använda sockerarten xylos, som finns i stora halter i restprodukter från skBaker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisae, has been engineered to utilize the pentose sugar xylose present in lignocellulose biomass for the production of ethanol. Currently ethanol production from xylose is slow which limits the implementation of said strains in industrial production. This thesis describes the investigation of several metabolic aspects that control the rate of xylose utilization by

Remote assessment of intangible product experiences: A means to assist product development

There is a need from industry to better understand how customers perceive products. To develop products without understanding subjective perceptions and experiences is to risk that products with low customer value are devel-oped. As a consequence product target groups may be missed and intended market success may not occur. Traditional approaches for capturing subjective customer experiences are

Communicating the environmental characteristics of products: the use of environmental product declarations in the building, energy and automotive industries

Environmental policy is shifting the focus from production processes to product-related issues. The provision and use of environmental information is generally considered an essential element in addressing the environmental impacts associated with the life cycle of products. Environmental product declarations (EPD) are one of the much promoted informative instruments. A wide range of self-declarat
