A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an emerging technology consisting of small, cheap, and ultra-low energy sensor nodes, which cooperatively monitor physical quantities, actuate, and perform data processing tasks. A ...
Much research is being done to develop material combinations of polymer nanocomposites with tailored properties. Industry has been slow to adopt this technology mainly because several challenges such as good nanofiller ...
Thermoplastic nanocomposites are very intriguing materials, since they have enormous possibilities in various applications, for instance, in automotive and packaging industries. If the full potential of nanofillers can be ...
Mainokset kiinteänä osana medioita ovat merkittävä oppimisympäristö. Mainostajat haluavat opettaa kuluttajia, joten mainostajien on tärkeää ymmärtää oppimista. Tutkimus tuo mainonnan käsitteiden joukkoon kasvatustieteistä ...
Metallituoteteollisuus on tärkeä osa suomalaista yhteiskuntaa. Se on tärkeä sekä työllisyyden että kauppataseen ylijäämän kannalta. Tämä tutkimus perustuu oletukseen siitä, että kannattavuus paljolti määrittää yrityksen ...
In the 21st century the trend in healthcare is towards the early detection and prevention of disease and from hospitalization to increased personalization. The novel wearable and implantable systems for electrocardiographic ...
Local drug delivery devices are advantageous for use in pharmaceutical therapies to control tissue reaction at implant site. Tissue healing and regeneration is a multistep process, control of which is challenging. The ...
Microalgae are a promising feedstock for biofuel and bioenergy production due to their high photosynthetic efficiencies, high growth rates and no need for external organic carbon supply. However, microalgal biomass cultivation ...
Ferritic stainless steels (FeCr-based alloys with low Ni content) have gained recent interest due to their excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and competitive price, which make them an attractive choice ...
Cold spraying is a thermal spray process which enables production of metallic and metallic-ceramic coatings with dense (very low porosity level) and pure (low oxygen content) structures. Several coating properties such as ...
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) have significantly changed the landscape of positioning. The development of the first GNSS, Global Positioning System (GPS), has been a major milestone in the history of navigation; ...
The complexity of state-of-the-art embedded systems requires designers to focus on abstraction levels much higher than Register Transfer Level (RTL). As the designers are familiar with using RTL, system design often starts ...
Glass tempering is a heat treatment process which increases the strength of plate glass. In the past the process has been developed mainly on the basis of experimental results, but numerical modelling has now improved the ...
The quality of the paper produced can be characterised by numerous properties, such as roughness of the surface or dimensional stability under printing process, to mention but a few. Typically, the paper sheet properties ...
The thesis deals with the spray combustion, emissions formation and heat transfer theories of phenomena and their modelling related to medium speed diesel engines. The aim of the work has been to develop a simulation tool ...
Ultra-pure copper is produced in industrial scale electrolysis cell. The copper electrolysis process consumes large amounts of energy. Disturbances in the cell – like busbar contact failures, anode and cathode positioning ...
Electrical properties of superconductors are very sensitive to mechanical loading. As the loading in practical applications is often very large, designers should know the mechanical behaviour of conductors well. With the ...
This thesis proposes a set of model processing operations for manipulating architecture and design level software engineering models. The approach draws from well-established and widely used software modeling paradigms ...
