The aim of this diploma work is to investigate the acid hydrolyses of two types of starch, waxy barley and maize starch to be applied for further usage, in rheology studies and formulation of starch microspheres. Modified starch has always been essential in many areas, especially in tablets, where it could be used as a disintegrant. Starch has also been investigated for manufacturing microspheres.

This report investigates the possibility of implementing a high-quality, regional, rubber-wheled based public transport system with train-like features to a lower cost than that of a traditional raliway. In order to be regarded as fulfilling this goal, the system, hereafter called rubber-wheel trains, must both be similar enough to railways to be regarded as trains by the passengers – and also be

Internationally there has been a growing interest of tramways the past decades. Swedish cities have taken notice of the positive characteristics that tramway have on cities and many of them has also begun investigations for future projects including tramway. The purpose of this study was to investigate in which ways tramways can contribute in creating attractive cities. The work consists mainly of

The purpose of this essay is to examine how users experience ‘dark pattern marketing’ from an ethical standpoint, and if it makes a difference if the users are aware of the phenomenon. ‘Dark pattern marketing’ is - in short terms - a marketing approach that applies a user interface that has been carefully crafted to trick and manipulate users into doing things they did not intend to do, or discour

Bakgrund. Industrierna utsätts för allt större press att anpassa sig till de håll- barhetsregler som införs. Detta tvingar industrierna att utmana de traditionella tillverkningsprocesser och hitta sätt att göra dem mer hållbara. I de traditionella industrierna används mycket kylvätska, som har stor inverkan på både den miljön och den sociala hållbarheten. Två produktionsmetoder uppvisar betydande Background. Industries are facing increasing pressure to adapt to sustainability regulations being put in place. This forces industries to rethink traditional manufac- turing operations and find ways to make them more sustainable. In the traditional industries there are a lot of coolants being used, these have a big impact on both the environment sustainability as well as social sustainability. Tw

Calculating the color factor of matrix elements for gluon processes is difficult since the gauge group of QCD, SU(3), is non-Abelian. The most commonly used methods for treating color structure all scale as the square of a factorial with the number of gluons, making calculations with more than a few gluons too time-consuming to carry out on demand. This thesis will provide an alternative approach

This thesis focuses on the question whether the volatility index of the Swiss Market Index (VSMI) is an adequate predictor of the future realized volatility. Furthermore, the thesis searches for evidence of incremental information within the VSMI in relation to a set of model based forecasts (MBFs) which could describe future realized volatility. First a theoretical framework, corresponding to the

Pollination by bees is important for food production. Recent concerns about the declines of both domestic and wild bees, calls for measures to promote wild pollinator populations in farmland. However, to be able to efficiently promote and prioritize between measures that benefit pollinators, such as modified land use, agri-environment schemes, or specific conservation measures, it is important to

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Radiotherapy treatment planning algorithms continue to develop and current planning systems typically offer simpler, but faster, algorithms, which may be 2, 2.5 or 3D in modelling scatter, but which do not model electron transport (type a) and more accurate algorithms which aim to be fully 3D, i.e. which model 3D scatter and also model electron transport (type b). A range o

In this paper we address the problem of generating efficient software implementations for a large class of dataflow programs that is characterized by highly data-dependent behavior and which is therefore in general not amenable to compile-time scheduling. Previous work on implementing dataflow programs has emphasized classes of stream processing algorithms that exhibit sufficiently regular behavio

In this paper we investigate a system for tracking the motion of box jellyfish tripedalia cystophora in a special test setup. The goal is to measure the motor response of the animal given certain visual stimuli. The approach is based on tracking the special sensory structures – the rhopalia – of the box jellyfish from high-speed video sequences. We have focused on a realtime system with simple bui

Examensarbetet inleddes den 15:e januari 2013 på Tetra Pak packaging solutions AB i Lund. Mjölk är en produkt, som är särskilt ljuskänslig. För att skydda mjölk från ljus, kan dess förpackning innehålla aluminiumfolie. Det laminerade aluminiumfoliet ger en utmärkt ljusbarriär, men är dyrt och är inte ett förnybart material. För att kunna ta bort eller ersätta aluminiumfoliet och samtidigt inte förThe thesis started 15th January in 2013 at Tetra Pak Packaging Solutions AB in Lund. Milk is a product that is particularly sensitive to light. In order to protect milk from light, its package can have aluminium foil. The laminated aluminium foil provides an excellent light barrier but is expensive and not a renewable material. To be able to remove the aluminium foil and not lose too much of the p

Huvudsyftet med konkursinstitutet är att jämt fördela tillgångarna i konkursen på samtliga fordringsägare. Detta görs av en konkursförvaltare som förordnats av tingsrätten i samband med konkursbeslutet. Förmånsrättslagens bestämmelser om förmånsrätter i konkurs är ett undantag till den jämna fördelningen. Lagen medger en viss borgenär som innehar en förmånsrätt en förtur till utdelning. Först närThe main purpose of the bankruptcy procedure is to fairly distribute the debtor`s assets amongst the creditors. The process is undertaken by an official receiver, appointed by the district court to administer the bankrupt estate. The Preferential Rights of Creditors Act (förmånsrättslagen) serves as an exception to the rule of fair distribution of the debtor`s assets. The law allows for a credit

Huvudregeln för påföljdsvalet i det svenska påföljdssystemet är att rätten ska fästa särskilt avseende vid omständigheter som talar för en lindrigare påföljd än fängelse. Fängelse är påföljdssystemet strängaste påföljd och skall väljas i sista hand. Som skäl för fängelse får domstolen enligt 30 kap. 4 § 2 st. beakta tre skäl: brottets straffvärde, brottets art och den tilltalades tidigare brottsliThe main rule in the Swedish sanction system is that the court must pay particular attention to circumstances that indicates a lighter sentence than imprisonment. Imprisonment is the sanction system’s strictest penalty and shall be used only as a last resort. As reasons for imprisonment the court may only consider three factors: penal value, crimes with presumption for imprisonment (will be referr

I dagsläget utförs fullskaliga kapacitetsprov på sprinkleranläggningar med syfte att undersöka om erforderligt tryck och flöde kan erhållas i händelse av brand. Fullskaliga kapacitetsprov är däremot relaterade till risker som lågt tryck i vattenledningsnät, blödning på gjutjärnsrör, översvämning av lågt belägna områden och tryckslag i rör. I detta arbete undersöks om reducerade kapacitetsprov sammTo this date, full-scale capacity tests are performed in sprinkler facilities in order to investigate if sufficient pressure and flow can be achieved in case of fire. Full-scale capacity tests may, however, cause problems such as low pressure in pipes, scaling of pipe walls, flooding of low topography areas, and water hammer. This report intends to research whether reduced capacity tests together
