This article presents the results of a questionnaire survey carried out during the spring of 2000. The results are based on the answers provided by a total of 99 respondents. Among other results the survey revealed that more than half of the responding companies have a formally documented strategy for product development work. Regarding disciplinary competencies, it is shown that design engineers

How can cities and communities around the world become more sustainable? What can we do as researchers to help them? As we move through the twenty-first century, these questions assume ever-greater importance. Many of the quickest wins for human and planetary health involve reimagining and reconfiguring cities. Activities that generate negative impacts like air pollution and poor health are concen

Knowledge in statistics is essential to draw solid conclusions from data. This chapter covers the basic concepts needed to navigate in the world of biostatistics, with the aim that the reader should know what to search for when encountering new situations. First, the chapter introduces basic concepts such as scales of measurement, relation between sample and population, and features of stochastic

Introduction: Housing shortage due to population growth within metropolitan areas, combined with an ageing population, has put pressure on current housing provision in Sweden. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable housing policies to accommodate the growing number of seniors in accessible home environments. This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of how municipalities cur

Popular Abstract in Swedish Länge trodde man att mikroorganismer spreds obehindrat på grund av deras ringa storlek och höga celltäthet. Eftersom de är väldigt små kan de lätt transporteras i vattendroppar med hjälp av vinden eller genom att fästa vid andra organismer så som fåglar och insekter. Endast miljöförhållanden som gynnade särskilda mikrober troddes påverka arters spridning och organismsamFor a long time microorganisms were assumed to have unlimited dispersal due to their small size and high cell numbers. Most microbial species can be transported by water currents, in water droplets by wind and attached to other organisms. Environmental conditions alone were supposed to affect the distribution of species and the community composition. Therefore, microorganisms were assumed to consi

The problem of planning a trajectory for robots starting in an initial state and reaching a final state in a desired interval of time is tackled. We consider Model Predictive Control as an approach to the problem of point-to-point trajectory generation. We use the developed strategy to generate trajectories for transferring the state of the robot, fulfilling computational real-time requirements. E

The Siemens gas turbine SGT-800 has an annular combustor and 30 dry low emission burners. In order to further reduce the emission levels and to obtain improved understanding of the flow and associated flame dynamics, single burner rig tests have been performed. The laboratory measurements are complemented by Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to analyze the effect on the flame dynamics due to the transie

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vävnadskallikrein (VK) är ett äggvitespjälkande protein som dels kan aktivera vävnadsnedbrytande enzymer som kollagenas och gelatinas och dels spjälkar kininogen till kininer (bradykinin och kallidin). Via bindning till speciella kininreceptorer (B2 receptorer) som finns överallt i kroppen, styr kininerna olika processer i de flesta av kroppens organ och vävnader såsom Tissue kallikrein releases pharmacollogically highly active kinins from kininogen. Many other enzymes may also release kinins. The aim of the study was to clarify the pathophysiological role of tissue kallikrein in acute pancreatitis. Two sensitive and specific radioimmunoassays for porcine and human tissue kallikrein were developed. A large release of tissue kallikrein from the pancreatic gland

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vanliga skogssvampar är viktiga för kretsloppen av kol och kväve Ektomykorrhiza I alla skogar växande i ett klimat liknande Sveriges, lever nästan samtliga trädarter i ett nära samspel (symbios) med svampar. Till skillnad från nedbrytarsvampar (som kan leva enbart på dött organiskt material) är flera av de kända skogsvamparna såsom kantareller, soppar, flugsvampar, kreAlmost all northern forest tree species live in symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF). The trees allocate up to half of the photoassimilated carbon (C) through the roots to EMF. In return EMF deliver nutrients from both inorganic and organic sources in the soil, as well as water. Most of the nutrients trees need are assimilated through EMF, which thus play a potentially important role in reta
