Abstract:
This paper estimates the effects of imports on employment, wages, and the wage share in Austria for the period of 1990-2005 using panel data of manufacturing industry. Imports are disaggregated according to their origin and as final vs. intermediate imports. There is evidence of significant negative effects of imports on employment, wages and the wage share. Particularly workers in high skilled sectors experience negative effects. Offshoring to both Eastern Europe and the developed countries have a negative impact on employment, whereas offshoring to the East has a positive effect on wages, in

Abstract:
The major limitation of many studies on declining industries is the presumption that industrial decline is associated with the final stage of the industry life cycle. These studies often define the sample of their study as those firms where their dominant products are subjected to technological obsolescence and are experiencing a persistent decline in the demand of their products. Conversely, the current study identified factors that the cause of the shrinking in demand of the UK industries was not generally obsolete technology. The decline of UK industries was partly due to severe low cost im

Abstract:
The growth of renewable energy, especially PV system has been accelerated in the past decades. With this growth, several problems have been identified that can interfere with the power quality on the distribution network.

IEEE 13 bus distribution network has been chosen to be the base of this research due to its flexibility and it has been modeled in DigSILENT Power Factory.

The composite rod is made of either a steel or copper shell enclosing a ceramic.

We study axisymmetric deformations of depleted uranium (DU) and tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) rods impacting at normal incidence both a rigid, planar target and a thick, deformable steel target. Each deformable material is modeled as elastic thermoviscoplastic; the flow stress increases with an increase in the effective plastic strain and effective plastic strain-rate but decreases with a rise in the temperature. An objective of this work is to ascertain when and where a shear band, defined as a narrow region of rapid, intense plastic deformation, forms in each material subject to impact loading.

This combination of rising electricity prices and decreasing costs of photovoltaic (PV) technology have hence led a number of households to cover part of their electricity demand by self-produced captive solar PV technology.

The growing popularity of photovoltaic (PV) generation systems leads to an increase in the number of residential and commercial grid-tied PV systems that interconnect to the distribution circuit. This affects the characteristics of the distribution circuit; for example, the assumption that the voltage profile of a radial line decreases down-stream becomes invalid because of the addition of the PV system on the line. This poses new challenges when setting the parameters of voltage regulating devices. Add to that the fact that PV systems are intermittent, especially on cloudy days, which make th

Abstract:
This degree project presents a study case in Eskilstuna-Sweden, regarding the effect of the photovoltaic (PV) systems with battery energy storage system (BESS) on a power distribution transformer, and how they could change the transformer lifespan. For that, an extensive literature review has been conducted, and two MATLAB models were used to simulate the system. One model simulates the PV generation profile, with the option of including battery in the system, and the other one simulates the transformer loss of life (LOL) based on the thermal characteristics. Simulations were using hourly time

Abstract:
Dans le cadre de la simulation numérique portant sur la prédiction de phénomènes complexes, la modélisation de la pénétration d’un corps à travers un solide reste un challenge. Ceci est d’autant plus vrai si le corps impacté comporte une épaisseur importante devant les dimensions du projectile. Notamment, dans le contexte de la biomécanique des chocs, l’investigation des traumatismes suite à une blessure par balle, par un moyen numérique, nécessite la modélisation d’une zone pouvant être de plusieurs dizaines de fois supérieure aux dimensions du projectile sur un temps extrêmement court (de l’

Abstract:
The Southern Appalachian hardwood forests contain a wide diversity of flora and fauna. Understanding processes that affect nutrient availability in these forests is essential for sound forest management. Three interconnected research projects regarding soil resource heterogeneity were designed to increase our understanding of this ecosystem. The objective of these projects were as follows: 1) to examine and quantify the role of decaying stumps in regards to total carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools and fine-root dynamics, 2) compare and contrast the use of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) vs. a

Abstract:
La fabrication additive est en pleine expansion et suscite un intérêt grandissant pour l'industrie, la recherche scientifique et le grand public. Les procédés additifs ont permis des ouvertures pour fabriquer des structures à géométrie complexe par rapport aux fabrications classiques. En revanche, le comportement mécanique des fabrications additives en réponse aux chargements est peu exploré. En particulier la caractérisation mécanique de ces fabrications reste un challenge et se limite souvent à des champs d'investigations pseudo-statiques par des moyens de tests mécaniques classiques tels qu
