Mechanical properties of SiC nanowires with polytypes

In this report, we model the mechanical properties and fracture behavior of SiC nanowires with different polytypes using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The mechanical properties investigated are the Young’s modulus, the maximum tensile stress and the fracture strain. The three polytype tested are SiC (3C), (2H) and (4H). Tensile tests are performed on bulk and nanowire samples using three com

Technology as capital : Challenging the illusion of the green machine

Debates on technologies for harnessing renewable energies tend to generate a polarized arena in which critical voices are automatically denounced as defenders of fossil energy. This has created a difficult situation for activists and scholars voicing concerns about the comparatively low power density, low net energy, and environmental justice concerns of such technologies. In this paper, we highli

Developing a Supply Chain Mapping Framework – A case study at IKEA's Comfort Category

The benefits and barriers of supply chain mapping have often been discussed in the literature, but there is no existing step-by-step framework that can be followed to map a supply chain. In this master thesis, the authors develop a 12-step framework for supply chain mapping and explore IKEA's Comfort Category using the framework. The framework is divided into three main stages: 1) Before mapping,

Prophylactic Treatment of Children with Hemophilia in Sweden

Hemophilia A/B are caused by deficiency or lack of coagulation factors VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX), respectively, in plasma. A person with hemophilia develops bleeding in the joints and muscles at an early age, which, if left untreated, leads to early arthropathy. Preventive treatment can be achieved by regular (prophylactic) administration of FVIII/FIX. In 1958, this was implemented on a smal
