(Computer Project) Web Based Management Solution for IPTV Network

A management platform is an integral part of any modern computer network. Its role in any kind of network (research or commercial) is undeniable. By using the management solution, the operators of the network monitor, troubleshoot and manage the network from a centralized location.

In a research network such as the Mid Sweden University (MIUN) IPTV test bed, it also plays a very important role. Researchers can setup different configurations for the underlying network according to their research goals.

(Mechanical Project) Future Oppourtunities and Challenges of the Sustainability of Biofuel

Liquid Biofuels mainly Bioethanol and biodiesel are the main replacement for fossil fuels in the current world. But there are questions and concerns about the present biofuels production, mainly when it comes to matter of sustainability.

(Management Project) Is the Taylor Rule a Good Approximation of the Norwegian Monetary Policy?

The aim of this research is to check whether the Taylor rule in its simple linear form can be viewed as an appropriate description of the monetary policy pursued by Norway’s central bank – Norges Bank, and whether this rule can be used for forecasting purposes.

Not only does this research focus on the original Taylor rule, but it also deals with its extended version designed for small open economies such as Norway. A conclusion about whether regressions can produce reliable coefficient estimates is drawn on the basis of time series’ properties tests and cointegration tests. The performance of the simple-form Taylor equation is compared to its alternative forms through forecasting exercises.

(Civil Project) The Holistic Value-Added Approach to Sustainable Development

Sustainable design and engineering is in great demand in cities all over the world. As a result, design and engineering consultancies have to continue finding ways to capitalize on sustainable developments responsibly.

Implementing a strategy to reduce the friction between the human-ecology and economic imperatives is a major step. Amongst Ramboll’s Nordic sustainable perspectives, the Swedish perspective can be  innovative enough to reduce this friction that can stand in the way of the comprehensive sustainable project mission, which is profitable and value-added.

But can this comprehensive and holistic Nordic approach, intended to link stakeholders into a positive project dynamic be applied  effectively enough under unique country-specific contexts? A strategy that incorporates a framework to understand and value the intangibilities of sustainability and fine-tuned for the different conditions and unique contexts of where projects are built can help by creating positive  synergies between stakeholders.

(Electronics Project) Design of Small Photovoltaic(PV) Solar-Powered Water Pump System

The intent of this technical publication is to provide general guidance on the design of small solar-powered water pump systems for use with livestock operations or irrigation systems. This document provides a review of the basic elements of electricity, a description of the different components of solar-powered water pump systems, important planning considerations, and general guidance on designing a solar-powered water pump system.

(Computer Project)Use of Information-Centric Networks in Revision Control Systems

NetInf and CCN are two Information-Centric Network approaches which are constructed to solve limitations of today’s Internet that was developed in the 60’s. Today’s Internet requires that datum is referred by its location. This is not something the end-user is interested in, the user is only interested in securely finding the information that searched for.

(Mechanical Project) Energy saving at gas compressor stations through the use of parametric diagnostics

Increasingly growing consumption of natural gas all around the world requires development of new transporting equipment and optimization of existing pipelines and gas pumping facilities. As a special case, Russian gas pumping system has the longest pipes with large diameter, which carry great amounts of natural gas.

(Management Project) Offshore outsourcing to China: The suppliers’ perspective on competitive priorities and the role of buyer-supplier interaction mechanisms

In the global business environment, outsourcing and offshore outsourcing are strategies for firms to handle the increasing competition in their specific market segments by utilizing the capabilities of other firms in order to gain competitive advantages.

(Civil Project) Green Skyscraper: Integration of Plants into Skyscrapers

This research has been emphasized on integration of plants in skyscraper design which play a vital role for the energy conservation by the building as well as improving the living quality into these vertical cities. Throughout the work it has been studied to establish the necessity of planting to incorporate into skyscrapers, for the well being of our economy, society and the environment.

(Civil Project) Structural behavior of notched glulam beams reinforced by means of plywood and FRP

Nowadays, timber is widely used in construction industry thanks to its availability and good properties. The use of solid (sawn) timber is not always proper since it is only available up to certain dimensions. Therefore, the so-called Engineered Wood Products (EWPs) have been introduced tocope with the different design needs of structures.
