Thermal actions are considered in the design of bridges, as temperature variations can lead to restraint stresses and subsequent cracking. However, load descriptions are in some cases oversimplified or incompatible with modern applications, and background studies are limited. This paper therefore aims to develop a more detailed load description for the load case describing temperature differences

Denna rapport sammanfattar några studier som på olika sätt syftar till att förbättra metodiken för att analysera samhällsekonomiska effekter av kollektivtrafikinvesteringar. Förbättringarna som behandlas är 1) vikten av att ta med bristande kapacitet (trängsel) i kalkylerna; 2) förbättrade beräkningar av driftskostnader; 3) effekter av tillgänglighet på arbetsmarknad och produktivitet (s k ”wider

Hydrotropic extraction (HEX) is a method for the delignification of lignocellulose that has been given increasing amounts of attention during the last couple of years. A hydrotrope is an amphiphilic substance, which, in high enough concentrations, can improve solubility of otherwise poorly soluble substances in water. The most commonly used substance for HEX-delignification is sodium xylenesulfona

Artikeln behandlar det museala arbetet inom Kongl. Museum från 1790-talet till och med 1850-talet, med omgestaltade rum, förvärv av samlingar, konservatorernas arbete och Konstakademiens utbildning av konstnärer. Under denna period växer museiprofessionen fram, vilket utgör förutsättningen för det nya museet på Blasieholmen på 1860-talet.

The concept of self-stigmatization is guided by a representational account of selfhood that fails to accommodate for resilience against, and recovery from, stigma. Mainstream research on self-stigma has portrayed it only as a reified self, that is, as collectively shared stereotypes representing individuals’ identity. Self-stigma viewed phenomenologically, however, elucidates what facilitates a st

An investigation on the different levels of interpretation of medieval architectural iconography. The architecture and sculpture of Lund cathedral is related to function, history, politics and religion.

PURPOSE: To investigate retinal function after reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) by filtration surgery in patients with medically uncontrolled glaucoma. METHODS: Eleven patients (11 eyes) with medically uncontrolled glaucoma underwent trabeculectomy. Clinical investigation, visual field (testing with standard automated perimetry (SAP-Humphrey), optical coherence tomography (OCT), full-field

During the 16th century, and thus late in a european perspective, the Scandinavian language usage went from normally giving dates according to the church year calendar (each day having a name of its own, mostly referring to a saint) to normally giving them according to our modern calendar (numbering the days within each named month). The present investigation shows how this transition more exactly

Retinoic acid (RA) is an important morphogen that regulates many biological processes, including the development of the central nervous system (CNS). Its synthesis from vitamin A (retinol) occurs in two steps, with the second reaction - catalyzed by retinal dehydrogenases (RALDHs) - long considered to be crucial for tissue-specific RA production in the embryo. We have recently identified the Xenop

This article presents an overview of the literature on speech tempo and the topics dealt with. Tempo is not one of the more frequently explored areas of speech research, and any possible consequences of tempo variation for other phonetic phenomena have all too often been taken for granted. Unfortunately, this field is complicated by pitfalls of definition and hazards of numerical treatment. A gla

En redogörelse för hur Kvinnovetenskaplig tidskrift bytte namn till Tidskrift för genusvetenskap när Cristine Sarrimo och Monika Edgren var redaktörer för tidskriften. I artikeln återges hur redaktionen resonerade kring namnbytet utifrån det genusvetenskapliga fältets förändring från ett tidigare fokus på kvinnor till ett breddat genusbegrepp.
