Purpose: The lead time in the construction industry's innovation development today is far too long. Jönköping's population increases and at the same time Jönköping University is expanding. The need for more housing and student housing is therefore a fact. A Living Lab (LL) creates opportunities to solve both above-mentioned situations. It is a home that simultaneously provide different types of researchers with a research platform to test innovations directly in a real-life environment. Such a project could thus be an advantage for a developing city like Jönköping. The purpose of the project is to investigate how LL projects can open opportunities for innovations in housing and building engineering research in Jönköping, while creating new student housing in the city. Method: The research strategy is qualitative, the main method is a case study. Methods of data collection are literature studies and interviews. Literature studies take place around the concept, the background and different existing projects. This is done to investigate the development of the LL concept and its establishments. The main method used in this report is interviews, which the majority is done over the phone and a couple of them as site visits. Interviews take place with stakeholders from HSB Living Lab in Gothenburg, stakeholders from KTH Live-in Lab in Stockholm and potential stakeholders from Jönköping. Findings: This report serves as a preliminary study for potential stakeholders to establish or participate in a Student LL in Jönköping. In order to shorten lead times in housing and building engineering research, LL has been proven to benefit from innovative research in this area. A project would combine a research arena with new student housing to promote the housing contributions to a more efficient innovation process. In the housing- and construction sector, interest has been shown for innovations in housing environment, real estate and construction business, with efficiency and cost reduction, development and efficiency of materials and smart energy solutions. There is also a research interest for studying of the learning environments and the contributions of the residents to their environment. A potential place of establishment is found just by the university, which would benefit both the university, its research and the establishment of new student housing. Implications: To continue developing the work, further research is recommended on the research questions for a LL-project. It is recommended to review additional opportunities that exists in addition to building engineering and develop issues regarding, for example, housing environment and learning environments. When two of the four parts of the university were reached for interviews, it is also interesting to study the interests of the other parts. There would be an interest in studying how a twist of the concept can be applied to find a specific niche for Jönköping. A project would solve several student housing units that would help solve some of the problem regarding the current housing shortage and enable contributing to the development of the city. Limitations: As the LL concept in Sweden is at an early stage, background information is related to international focus. The report is then limited to focus on Sweden's two major LLs with establishment in Gothenburg and Stockholm with permanent student housing. Furthermore, the focus is on Jönköping, the city of the authors of the report, its potential stakeholders, establishment opportunities and innovation opportunities for a Student LL project. Keywords: Living Lab, student, open innovation, building technology and sustainability. / Syfte: Ledtider inom byggnadsbranschens innovationsutveckling är idag alldeles för långa. Jönköping kommuns befolkning ökar samtidigt som Jönköping University växer. Behovet av fler bostäder och studentbostäder är med detta ett faktum. Ett Living Lab (LL) skapar möjligheter för att förbättra bådadera situationer. Det agerar hem samtidigt som det tillhandahåller olika typer av forskare med en forskningsplattform för att testa innovationer direkt i en verklig miljö. Ett sådant projekt skulle således kunna vara en fördel för en utvecklande stad som Jönköping. Syftet med projektet är att undersöka hur LL-projekt kan öppna möjligheter till samskapande innovationer inom boende- och byggteknikforskning i Jönköping samtidigt som nya studentbostäder etableras. Metod: Undersökningsstrategin är kvalitativ, huvudmetoden är fallstudier. Metoder för datainsamling är litteraturstudier samt intervjuer. Litteraturstudier sker kring begreppet, bakgrund samt projekt för att undersöka utvecklingen av LL-konceptet och dess etableringar. Den huvudsakliga metoden för arbetet är intervjubaserat, majoriteten över telefon och ett antal genom platsbesök. Intervjuer sker med involverade aktörer från HSB Living Lab i Göteborg, från KTH Live-in Lab i Stockholm samt potentiella intressenter från Jönköping. Resultat: Rapporten fungerar som en förundersökning för potentiella intressenter för att etablera eller deltaga i ett Student LL i Jönköping. För att förkorta ledtider inom boende och byggnadsteknisk forskning är LL påvisat gynna nytänkande forskning inom detta. Ett projekt skulle kombinera en forskningsarena med nya studentbostäder för att främja de boendes bidrag till en effektivare innovationsprocess. Inom boende och byggsektorn är intresset påvisat för innovationer inom boendemiljö, fastighets- och byggbranschen med effektivisering och kostnadsreducering, utveckling och effektivisering av material samt smarta energilösningar. Forskningsintresse påvisas även för studerande av lärandemiljöer samt de boendes bidrag till dess miljö. En potentiell etableringsplats påträffas i nära anslutning till universitetet, vilket skulle gynna såväl universitetet, dess forskning samt etablering av nya studentbostäder. Konsekvenser: För att fortsätta utveckla arbetet rekommenderas undersökning vidare kring forskningsfrågorna för ett LL. Det rekommenderas att granska ytterligare möjligheter och utveckla specifika frågor gällande exempelvis boendemiljö samt lärandemiljöer. Då två av fyra fackhögskolor nåddes för intervjuer är det även intressant att studera kvarvarande fackhögskolors intressen. Att studera hur en vridning av konceptet kan tillämpas för att hitta en specifik nisch för Jönköping är av intresse. Ett projekt i Jönköping skulle lösa ett antal studentbostäder som bidrar till att lösa en del av problemet angående den rådande bostadsbristen och möjliggör bidragande till utveckling av staden. Begränsningar: Då LL-konceptet i Sverige befinner sig i ett tidigt skede förhåller sig bakgrundsinformationen till internationellt fokus. Arbetet begränsas sedan till fokus på Sveriges två större LL med etablering i Göteborg och Stockholm med permanenta studentbostäder. Vidare landar fokus i Jönköping, staden som författarna till rapporten är placerade i, dess potentiella intressenter, etableringsmöjligheter samt innovationsmöjligheter för ett Student LL-projekt. Nyckelord: Living Lab, student, open innovation, byggnadsteknik och hållbarhet.

Neste trabalho são apresentados processos de microfabricação de estruturas contendo microcanais e sistemas de manipulação hidrodinâmica e eletroosmótica de fluídos. Foram desenvolvidos processos de microfabricação utilizando toner sobre poliéster, toner sobre vidro, toner como resiste, além de métodos alternativos de perfuração de lâminas e selagem de microestruturas em vidro, desenvolvimento de microestruturas para eletroforese capilar e espectrometria de massas com ionização por eletronebulização. A caracterização dos materiais e processos permitiu uma ampla visão das potencialidades e alternativas dos processos de microfabricação, tendo sido demonstrado que os dispositivos produzidos em toner-poliéster são quimicamente resistentes às substâncias tipicamente utilizadas em eletroforese capilar. Neste trabalho, um detector condutométrico sem contato foi implementado em microestruturas de toner-poliéster e a separação eletroforética de alguns metais alcalinos é demonstrada. A microestrutura foi projetada no formato padrão em cruz, tendo o canal de separação 22 mm de comprimento, 12 µm de profundidade e largura típica. A cela condutométrica foi construída sobre o canal de separação utilizando-se fita adesiva de cobre (1 mm de largura) como eletrodos. O sinal aplicado na cela foi de 530 kHz e 10 Vpp . A separação de K+, Na+ e Li+ na concentração de 100 µmol L-1 foi efetuada em torno de 0,8 min, utilizando-se 1 kV como potencial de separação. Foram desenvolvidos microchips para análise por espectrometria de massas com introdução de amostra por eletronebulização, sendo determinado cluster do íon cloreto em concentração de 1 mmol L+. Também solução com 1 mmol/L de glucosamina em água/metanol 1: 1 (v/v), sob corrente de 100 nA gerou sinal estável e livre de descarga corona. Utilizando detecção amperométrica, obteve-se eletroferogramas mostrando a separação de iodeto (10 mmol L-1) e ascorbato (40 mmol L-1) em potencial de separação de 4,0 kV (800 V cm-1 potencial de detecção de 0,9 V (vs. Ag/AgCI), injeção com 1,0 kV/1°s, tampão borato de sódio 10 mmol L+ com CTAH 0,2 mmol L-1, pH 9,2. Obteve-se eficiência de 1,6.104 pratos/m e foi possível obter limites de detecção de 500 nmol L-1 (135 amol) e 1,8 µmol L-1 (486 amol) para iodeto e ascorbato, respectivamente. O processo de fabricação utilizando toner como material estrutural para microchips em vidro foi bem estabelecido, assim como os modos de detecção fotométrico e condutométrico foram demonstrados. Foram obtidos eletroferogramas par detecção condutométrica sem contato de solução 200 µmol L-1 de K+, Na+ e U+, em tampão histidina/ácido lático 30 mmol L-1 9:1 (v/v) água:metanol, injeção eletrocinética de 2,0 kV/5,0 s, potencial de separação de 1 kV, 530 kHz de frequência e tensão de 2,0 Vpp. Também foi implementado um sistema de detecção fotométrico para microchip operando em 660 nm, tendo sido utilizado para a detecção de azul de metileno 1,0 mmol L-1 em tampão de corrida de barato de sódio 20 mmol L-1 (pH 9,2), com o detector posicionado a 40 mm do ponto de injeção e com injeção eletrocinética a 2,0 kV por 12 s com picos bem resolvidos em menos de 1 min. / Microfabrication processes and devices for hydrodynamic and electroosmotic manipulation were developed based on toner-polyester, toner-glass and toner-as-resist techniques. Additionally, techniques to perforate glass slides and sealing of glass devices were introduced. Microdevices for capillary electrophoresis and electrospray for mass spectrometry were developed using these techniques. The characterization of the materiais and the processes demonstrated that the devices obtained by the toner-polyester process are compatible with the media used for capillary electrophoresis. The detection of alkaline ions with capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection was demonstrated. The typical cross shape microstructure was designed with a 22-mm long and 12-µm deep separation channel. The conductivity cell was implemented with 1-mm wide adhesive copper stripes. The applied signal was 530kHz and 10Vpp . The separation of 100µmo1L-1 K+, Na+, and Li+ was accomplished in 0.8 min under a voltage of 1 kV. Another toner-polyester microchip was developed to demonstrate its usefulness for electrospray/mass spectrometry. Solutions of 1 mmol L-1 potassium chloride and 1 mmol L-1 glucosamine in water/methanol 1:1 (v/v) were introduced with stable current of 100 nA without corona discharge. Capillary electrophoresis with amperometric detection was also demonstrated. The separation of iodide (10 mmol L-1) and ascorbate (40 mmol L-1) was carried out at 4.0 kV (800 V cm-1) with detection potential of 0.9 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), electrokinetic injection at 1.0 kV/10 s, running buffer of sodium borate 10 mmol L-1 with CTAH 0.2 mmol L-1 , pH 9.2. The efficiency was 1.6.104 plates/m and the limits of detection were 500 nmol L-1 (135 9mol) and 1.8 µmol L-1 (486 amol) for iodide and ascorbate, respectively. The toner-glass process was proposed and conductivity and photometric detections were demonstrated for the devices generated by this new technique. The separation of 200 pmol L-1 K+, Na+, and Li+ was achieved in buffer histidine/lactic acid 30 mmol L-1 water/methanol 9: 1 (v/v), electrokinetic injection at 2.0 kV/5.0 s, separation potential of 1 kV, and contactless conductivity detection at 530 kHz and 2.0 Vpp. The photometric detection of methylene blue at 660 nm was carried out in sodium borate 20 mmol L-1 (pH 9.2).

A área de microfabricação de dispositivos de interesse em química analítica tem se expandido muito ao longo dos últimos anos. Uma série de produtos e processos tem sido proposta, tendo como base as tecnologias da área de microeletrônica. Muito destes processos são bastante sofisticados, estando além das necessidades para produção de alguns dispositivos relativamente simples e que são bastante úteis para a química analítica. Este é o caso, por exemplo, dos microcanais para implementação de sistemas eletroforéticos ou micro sistemas em fluxo. Neste contexto, surge a proposta deste trabalho, qual seja desenvolver processos e produtos de interesse nesta área. Esse objetivo foi alcançado pelo desenvolvimento de dois processos: um para produção de microcanais em resina de poliéster através de moldagem e outro de corrosão de vidro utilizando toner de impressora laser como resiste. O primeiro partiu de fotolito para produção de molde em silício através de processo de corrosão por plasma de SF6. Peças de resina de poliéster isoftálica são produzidas por polimerização sobre este molde. Para garantir a desmoldagem não traumática e boa reprodução de detalhes, foi incorporado óleo de silicone durante a preparação da resina. Com este procedimento, foi possível obter canais com 14,0 µm de profundidade e irregularidades superficiais de 1,4 µm para um molde com 15,3 µm de elevação e 0,5 µm de irregularidades superficiais. Com o uso de uma manta flexível de silicone como contraparte, foi possível gerar microcanais cuja altura foi avaliada como sendo da ordem de 5 a 7 µm. Esta avaliação foi conseguida através de medida de condutância após o preenchimento do microcanal com solução de KCl. No segundo processo, toner de impressora laser foi utilizado como resiste para corrosão de vidrO. O layout era diretamente impresso sobre papel aditivado com maltodextrina ou papel utilizado como suporte para etiquetas autocolantes através de uma impressora HP LaserJet 6L com resolução de 600 dpi. Após a transferência térmica da imagem para lâminas de vidro alcalino de 1,0 mm de espessura, a corrosão em ácido fluorídrico permitiu obter canais com 7,1 µm de profundidade e irregularidades de 1,0 µm. Embora este segundo processo apresente desvantagens com relação à resolução tanto no plano da lâmina como na profundidade do canal, quando comparado ao primeiro, deve-se ressaltar a extrema simplicidade, rapidez e baixo custo do processo que deve ser interessante para a produção de protótipos. Já para o primeiro processo, destaca-se a adequação à produção em pequena escala de dispositivos microcanais de baixo custo. / Several processes and products have been proposed to build and use microstructures for chemical purposes. Most of these processes were adapted from microelectronic technologies, which resulted in products with excellent resolution and quality. However, there are some devices that could be generated by simpler and rougher processes. In this work, two processes were developed in order to allow producing simple devices based on microchannels. The first process is a method to produce polyester based devices. A conventional microelectronic process was used to produce a silicon matrix. This matrix was used to produce blocks of isophthalic resin by in situ polymerization. The best results were obtained by adding 1 % (w/w) silicone oil during the polyester resin preparation. This additive improves the mold relief and the smoothness of the device surface. Channels 14.0-µm depth and roughness of 1.4 µm were obtained with a mold with structure height of 15.3 µm and roughness of 0.5 µm. A flexible sheet of silicone allows forming enclosed microchannels with depth of 5-7 µm. This dimension was evaluated by conductance measurement after filling the channel with KCl solution. A process for glass corrosion, using laser printer toner as resist, was proposed. In this method, the layout is printed over a special sheet of paper using a HP LaserJet 6L laser printer. The paper is used to transfer the toner to a soda-lime glass lamina by a thermic process. Hydrofluoric acid solution was used to promote the selective glass corrosion. Channels 7.1-µm depth and roughness of 1.0 µm were obtained. Although this second method does not give the saroe resolution and aspect ratio as the first one, it is suitable to easy and fast prototyping. Gn the other hand, the first method is suitable for low-cost production of devices in small scale.

Abstract Speed of information, uncertainty and complexity are increasing in the work-life of the knowledge worker. In addition, solving complex and wicked global problems require cooperation skills as well as ability to learn in collaboration across the disciplines, meaning skills in crossing boundaries. These requirements set new challenges for educating knowledge workers in higher education. Metaskills, such as learning by utilising networks, communication and critical thinking, have become as essential as discipline-specific skills. Metaskills combined with discipline-specific skills are called T-shaped skills. Individuals possessing these skills, so-called T-shaped professionals, are exposed to the experience and the knowledge of other disciplines and thus are recognised as carrying the skills for crossing boundaries. This dissertation examines how a Finnish studio-based pedagogical approach to bachelor education, the LAB Studio Model (LSM), contributes to the education of boundary crossing competence. This qualitative dissertation utilises exploratory as well as design research as its research approach and contains four original publications. First, the characteristics of LSM and the utilisation of studio-based practices in higher education are studied by conducting literature reviews. Second, the internal and external boundary crossing activities are studied by performing case studies, where the new knowledge creation and establishment of learning networks are in focus. Empirical data has been collected by conducting web-based surveys, theme-based student and student team interviews, direct observation, and participative observation. The outcome of this dissertation suggests that LSM offers a potential educational model for learning the skills of boundary crossing, resulting in a T-shaped skill base. The results of this dissertation include new findings on how commonly studio-based education is utilised world wide in higher education, how LSM differs from the existing configurations that utilise the studio-based model in higher education, as well as active internal and external boundary crossing among students. This dissertation contributes to the discussion of university-society collaboration by the new learning configurations, and to the interdisciplinary education of knowledge workers. The results of this dissertation can be utilised in the development of studio-based configurations in higher education. / Tiivistelmä Tiedonvälittämisen nopeus, epävarmuus ja monimutkaisuus lisääntyvät tietotyöläisten työssä. Lisäksi yleismaailmallisten ja monimutkaisten ongelmien ratkaisemisen vaatima monialainen yhteistyö, sekä yhdessä oppiminen edellyttävät taitoja erilaisten rajojen ylittämiseen. Nämä vaatimukset asettavat uusia haasteita tietotyöläisten korkeakoulutukselle. Metataidot, kuten vuorovaikutustaidot, verkostojen avulla oppiminen ja kriittinen ajattelu, ovat tulleet yhtä tärkeiksi kuin alakohtaiset taidot. Metataidot yhdistettyinä alakohtaisiin taitoihin muodostavat niin kutsutut T-malliset taidot. T-mallisia taitoja omaavat ammattilaiset ovat altistuneet muiden alojen ammattilaisten kokemuksille ja tietotaidolle, ja siten omaavat taitoja rajojen ylittämiseen monialaisissa työryhmissä. Tämä väitöskirja pyrkii vastaamaan kuinka suomalaisessa korkeakoulussa kehitetty, studiomallinen ja monialainen tietotyöläisten koulutusmalli, LAB-malli, vastaa rajojen ylittämisen taitojen kouluttamisen haasteeseen. Tutkimus toteuttaa laadullista tutkimusstrategiaa käyttäen eksploratiivista ja kehittämistutkimuksen lähestymistapaa tutkimusprosessissaan. Alkuperäiset julkaisut keskittyvät studiomallin hyödyntämisen yleisyyteen korkeakoulutuksessa maailmanlaajuisesti, LAB-mallin ominaisuuksiin studiomallina ja opiskelijoiden rajojen ylittämiseen monialaisen koulutuksen aikana. Ensimmäinen julkaisu keskittyy LAB-mallin ominaisuuksien analyysiin ja toinen studiomallin hyödyntämisen selvittämiseen kirjallisuuskatsauksien avulla. Kolmas julkaisu keskittyy rajojen ylittämiseen koulutuksen sisällä uuden tiedon tuottamisen teorian kautta ja neljäs koulutuksen ulkopuolisten rajojen ylittämiseen oppimisverkostojen muodostamisen kautta. Tutkimus tehtiin keräämällä tietoa kyselyillä, teemapohjaisilla opiskelija- ja tiimihaastatteluilla, sekä suoralla, että osallistuvalla tarkkailemisella. Tämä väitöskirja osoittaa, että LAB-malli tarjoaa koulutusmallin rajojen ylittämisen oppimiseen ja siten T-mallisten taitojen oppimiseen. Tulokset osoittavat, että studiomallin hyödyntäminen on lisääntynyt korkeakoulutuksessa, LAB-malli on omaleimainen verrattuna muihin studiomallia noudattaviin korkeakoulutuksiin ja että koulutuksen aikana opiskelijat ylittävät rajoja aktiivisesti. Tämä väitöskirja osallistuu keskusteluun korkeakoulujen yhteiskunnallisesta yhteistyöstä, sekä monialaisen ja studiomallisen oppimisen mahdollisuuksista tietotyöläisten kouluttamisessa. Tämän väitöskirjan tuloksia voidaan hyödyntää edelleen kehitettäessä studiomallisia korkeakoulujen oppimisympäristöjä.

A smart home is a building equipped with sensors collecting data about its environment. Data collected from smart home buildings can be used for research to improve home automation and develop smart cities. A scalable web-based system can be used to handle the large quantities of data generated from smart homes. Previous studies have been conducted on the requirements of a system collecting sensor data from smart homes, however, information about the presentation of data is still lacking. Because of this research needs to be done on what kind of system handles and presents sensor data well.The aim of this degree project is to identify the requirements of a web-based system handling and presenting sensor data. A scalable web-based system is developed based on the requirements identified from interviews and a literature study. The system shows that sensor data can be presented in a manner which facilitates research. Results show that a scalable web-based system can be used to display and download sensor data with associated information about the data. / Ett smart hem är en byggnad utrustad med sensorer som samlar data om sin miljö. Data insamlad från smarta hem kan leda till förbättringar i hemautomatisering och utvecklingen av smarta städer. Ett skalbart webbaserat system kan användas för att hantera stora mängder data som genereras utav smarta hem. Tidigare studier har genomförts för att framställa kraven utav ett system som samlar in data från smarta hem, dock saknas fortfarande information om hur denna data ska presenteras. På grund av detta behövs forskning om vilket typ av system som kan hantera och presentera data.Målet med detta examensarbete är att identifiera kraven för ett webbaserat system som hanterar och presenterar sensordata. Ett skalbart webbaserat system utvecklas baserat på krav identifierade genom intervjuer och en literaturstudie. Systemet visar att sensor data kan presenteras på ett sätt som underlättar forskning. Resultatet visar att ett skalbart webbaserat system kan användas för att visa och ladda ned sensordata med tillhörande information om datan.

Das ARCH4HEALTH Student Research Lab wurde im Wintersemester 2021/22 erstmalig durchgeführt. Es stellt den Auftakt einer regelmäßigen Serie von Lehrveranstaltungen an der Professur für Sozial- und Gesundheitsbauten dar, in der aktuelle Fragestellungen im Rahmen von studentischen Forschungsprojekten bearbeitet werden. / Lehrkonzept und Ablauf Das ARCH4HEALTH Student Research Lab verfolgt den Ansatz des forschenden Lernens. Innerhalb eines vorgegeben Oberthemas bearbeiten die Studierenden eigene Forschungsprojekte und durchlaufen den gesamten Forschungsprozess. Sie entwickeln eigene Forschungsfragen, arbeiten ein entsprechendes Forschungsdesign aus und führen schließlich eine Datenerhebung und -auswertung durch. Die Ergebnisse werden anschließend visualisiert und grafisch aufgearbeitet. Durch das forschende Lernen tauchen die Studierenden tief in ein Themenfeld ein und erarbeiten sich selbstständig und selbstbestimmt die Inhalte. Somit lernen sie Entwurfsentscheidungen auf einer wissenschaftlich belastbaren Grundlage zu treffen und der Perspektivwechsel sowie das Einfühlen in die Gebäudenutzer:innen helfen ihnen eine reflektierte Haltung im Entwurfsprozess einzunehmen. Des Weiteren generieren sie durch ihre Forschung neues Wissen, das Impulse in der Praxis setzen und Innovationen befördern kann. Daher stellt eine Abschlussveranstaltung mit Gästen aus der Praxis einen wichtigen Baustein des ARCH4HEALTH Student Research Lab dar, um den Austausch zwischen Studierenden und Architekt:innen, Klinikbetreitber:innen sowie medizinischem und pflegerischem Personal zu fördern. Durch die Veröffentlichung der Ergebnisse im Rahmen dieses Sammelbandes werden die Forschungsprojekte zudem für ein breites Publikum sichtbar gemacht.

As research has expanded on the environmental impact of stormwater on receiving ecosystems more focus is now being put on the quality issues of stormwater. Biofilters are one of many nature-based solutions that have been developed for that purpose and are also the subject of this study. In order to plan and implement biofilters, predictive models can be useful tools to forecast their performance on a given site. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibilities and limitations of modelling the treatment of stormwater in a biofilter using MIKE+. This was done by first trying to model the hydrological conditions of a biofilter from a study site in Sundsvall and thereafter coupling a water treatment model created in ECO Lab.  The results showed that there were some notable differences between the parameters affecting the hydrological flow in reality and what is currently possible to model in MIKE+. It was seen that the Soakaway node used to model biofilters needs to be complexified in order to properly model the hydrological conditions of biofilters. The main improvements required are that the flow attenuation should occur within the Soakaway node rather than before or after and that it should be based on soil properties. The retention volume also needs to be integrated in the node and a varying exfiltration rate is believed to be required to fit the varying nature of evapotranspiration.  The hydrological model was seen to have a great impact on the water treatment model and some limitations with the program and the used model were identified. Regarding ECO Lab, the program is currently unable to consider interevent processes when the biofilter is empty. These processes can however be of great importance for some contaminants. The program also assumes a time dependency whereas it has been seen that a short retention time may be sufficient to achieve good reduction efficiency. The model used is a highly lumped conceptual model with few parameters so further research aiming at the creation of correction factors for the main affecting parameters is believed to be required in order to avoid design specific calibration. Calibration should also occur over a longer time period in order to consider the variability of stormwater. / I takt med att forskningen kring dagvattens miljöpåverkan på mottagande ekosystem avancerats har hanteringen av dagvatten gått från att enbart fokusera på dess kvantitet till att även fokusera på dess kvalitet. Biofilter är en av flera naturbaserade lösningar som utvecklats för detta ändamål. För att kunna planera och implementera biofilter kan prediktiva modeller vara användbara verktyg för att förutse deras prestanda i ett tilltänkt område. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka möjligheterna att modellera dagvattenreningen i ett biofilter med hjälp av MIKE+. Detta gjordes genom att först försöka modellera de hydrologiska förhållandena i ett biofilter från ett studieområde i Sundsvall och därefter koppla en vattenreningsmodell skapad i ECO Lab.  Resultatet visade att det finns några märkbara skillnader mellan de parametrar som påverkar det hydrologiska flödet i biofilter i verkligheten och vad som för närvarande är möjligt att modellera i MIKE+. Det visades att Soakaway-noden som används för att modellera biofilter behöver utvecklas för att kunna modellera de hydrologiska förhållandena på ett korrekt sätt. De främsta förbättringar som krävs är att flödesdämpningen bör ske inom Soakaway-noden snarare än innan eller efter och att denna flödesdämpning bör baseras på filtrets markegenskaper. Retentionsvolymen behöver dessutom integreras i noden och en varierande exfiltrationshastighet tros krävas för att kunna ta hänsyn till hur evapotranspiration varierar över tid.  Den hydrologiska modellen sågs ha stor inverkan på vattenreningsmodellen och vissa begränsningar kunde visas hos programmet och den använda modellen. När det gäller ECO Lab kan programmet för närvarande inte ta hänsyn till processer mellan event när biofiltret är tomt. Dessa processer kan dock ha stor betydelse för vissa föroreningar. Programmet förutsätter också ett tidsberoende trots att forskning visat att en kort uppehållstid kan vara tillräcklig för att uppnå god reningseffekt. Modellen som används är en mycket enkel konceptuell modell med få parametrar så vidare forskning rekommenderas med syfte att skapa korrektionsfaktorer för att bättre ta hänsyn till de viktigaste reningsfaktorer och undvika platsspecifik kalibrering. Kalibreringen bör även ske under en längre tidsperiod för att ta hänsyn till variationerna i dagvatten.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1988 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / The explosive use and extensive development of software and hardware for the IBM PC and PC Clones over the past few years has positioned the PC as one of many viable alternatives to system designers configuring systems for both data acquisition and data analysis. Hardware abounds for capturing signals to be digitized and analyzed by software developed for the PC. Communication software has improved to where system developers can easily link instrumentation devices together to form integrated test environments for analyzing and displaying data. Telemetry systems, notable those developed for lab calibration and ground station environments, are one of many applications which can profit from the rapid development of data acquisition techniques for the PC. Recently developed for the ADS100A telemetry processor is a data acquisition module which allows the system to be linked into the PC world. The MUX-I/O module was designed to allow the PC access to telemetry data acquired through the ADS 100A, as well as provide a method by which data can be input into the telemetry environment from a host PC or equivalent RS-232 or GPIB interface. Signals captured and digitized by the ADS100A can be passed on to the PC for further processing and/or report generation. Providing interfaces of this form to the PC greatly enhances the functionality and scope of the abilities already provided by the ADS100A as one of the major front-end processors used in telemetry processing today. The MUX-I/O module helps "bridge the gap" between telemetry and the PC in an ever increasing demand for improving the quantity and quality of processing power required by today's telemetry environment. This paper focuses on two distinct topics, how to transfer data to and from the PC and what off-the-shelf software is available to provide communication links and analysis of incoming data. Major areas of discussion will include software protocols, pre vs post processing, static vs dynamic processing environments, and discussion of the major data analysis and acquisition packages available for the PC today, such as DaDisp and Lotus Measure, which aid the system designer in analyzing and displaying telemetry data. Novel applications of the telemetry to PC link will be discussed.
