Literature and most textbooks around the world describe Silver-Meal in such a way that periods with zero demand make Silver-Meal suggest a higher frequency of order replenishments than necessary and therefore higher total costs than necessary. Silver-Meal, still the best-known technique, is therefore inferior to other lesser-known techniques when t...

Determination of the Earth’s gravity field and geopotential value is one of the fundamental topics in physical geodesy. Traditional terrestrial gravity and precise leveling measurements can be used to determine the geopotential values at a local or regional scale. However, recent developments in optical atomic clocks have not only rapidly improved ...
The Special Issue aimed to provide a forum for scientists and engineers to share and discuss their pioneering/original findings or insightful reviews on the “Characterization and Processing of Complex Materials” [...]
This chapter is based on the author’s research on group creativity and educational initiatives in the private and public sectors as well as in higher education courses at an advanced level. The contribution is derived from both qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches to present in-depth knowledge of creative collaboration and compete...
Tracking a person’s activities is relevant in a variety of contexts, from health and group-specific assessments, such as elderly care, to fitness tracking and human–computer interaction. In a clinical context, sensor-based activity tracking could help monitor patients’ progress or deterioration during their hospitalization time. However, during rou...

Idea evaluation is used to identify and select ideas for development as future innovations. However, approaching idea evaluation as a decision gate can limit the role of the person evaluating ideas, create fixation bias, and underutilise the person’s creative potential. Although studies show that during evaluation experts are able to engage in desi...
This master thesis investigated whether co creation strategy can be effective in a business to business and business to customer and can enhance customer relations challenges.

Syftet med studien är att öka kunskapen om vårdnadshavares uppfattningar och förväntningar på barns användande av digitala verktyg, i hemmen och i förskolan. Detta gjordes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med sju vårdnadshavare från en landsbygdskommun i Mellansverige. Studien utgick från ett fenomenografiskt perspektiv och analysmodell. Resultat...
Quantum Computation is the quest for more efficient technologies. It can in principal be applied to Complex quantum systems, Quantum chemical systems, Cyber-security, Finance and AI. However, the introductory course in Quantum Mechanics at the Luleå University of Technology (F0047T) does not provide an introduction to Quantum Computation. This thes...
