The new law stipulates that all municipalities must have objectives for their operations and measurements that clearly show whether or not the objectives have been met. However, earlier research has found problems wi
This thesis consists of two parts. The first part deals with building integrated solar energy, mainly from an architectural point of view. It is based on a literature review and discusses solar energy, the building as a system, the concept building integration (definition, motives, criteria, examples) and the relation between architecture and solar energy. The second part presents a novel design o

It has been shown that optimal controller synthesis for positive systems can be formulated as a linear program. Leveraging these results, we propose a scalable iterative algorithm for the systematic design of sparse, small gain feedback strategies that stabilize the evolutionary dynamics of a generic disease model. We achieve the desired feedback structure by augmenting the optimization problems w

Parallellt med detta finns studier som hävdar att denna kolesterolhypotes är förknippad med många frågetecken.
