Photopolymerizable liquid monomers of fullerene, phthalocyanine and porphyrin were synthesized, polymerized and used as photoactive materials in organic solar cell structures. The design of the molecules requires the ...

When an image is acquired by a digital imaging sensor, it is always degraded by some noise. This leads to two basic questions: What are the main characteristics of this noise? How to remove it? These questions in turn ...

The work presented in this dissertation is a qualitative research in the field of engineering design. The applied research method involves case studies and interviews in the industry. The data collection methods are briefly ...

This study focused on assessing and improving production systems of Finnish mechanical engineering companies producing order-specific products and using make-to-order (MTO) or assemble-to-order (ATO) approach. These companies ...

Modern day embedded systems set high requirements for the processing hardware to minimize the area, and more importantly, the power consumption. Moreover, the ever increasing complexity of embedded applications requires ...

In a recent interview with the Financial Times, the chief executive of Royal Dutch Shell, Mr. Jeroen van der Veer, said he “keeps faith in ‘elephant’ projects” referring to the Russian gas mega-project that Shell had fallen ...

Pulsation phenomena in two processes of a papermaking machine were studied. The processes are that taking place in the approach flow system and the headbox and the coating process. Pressure and velocity pulsation is created ...

This thesis describes a systematic procedure for performing quantitative analysis of biomedical microscopy images. The procedure is investigated with four case studies. The goal of the thesis is to illustrate the possibilities ...

Most electricity distribution companies have an ICT based network information system, which is used to manage operational and network component related information. Therefore, computer based tools and data are already ...

Tin-lead has been used as a primary solder material in the electronics industry for decades. However, lead is a toxic material. Recently, many recommendations have been made and much legislation has been proposed in order ...
