Kursen har ett laborationsmoment om värmeväxling som behöver förnyas. Målet med kandidatarbetet är att få fram en laborationsbeskrivning med fokus på värmeväxlarens beteende beroende på olika parametrar och jämföra de två metoder som kan användas för att beskriva At Lund University, students in the program Chemical engineering have a compulsory course Heat Engineering (Energiteknik KETF30). The course has a laboratory practical concerning heat exchanger that needs to be renewed. The goal of this bachelor thesis was to write a description for the practical, focusing on the heat exchanger’s behavior considering different parameters and comparing the who comm

HBT-rättigheter är, och har under de senaste trettio åren varit, en aktuell politisk och juridisk fråga i Europa. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utifrån Europadomstolens praxis diskutera vilka familjerättigheter HBT-personer har idag i Europa, och även diskutera den aktuella forskningen kring rättighetsutvecklingen i Europadomstolens praxis när det gäller denna fråga. Med dessa frågeställningLGBT rights are, and have for the last thirty years been, a current political and legal issue in Europe. The purpose with this Thesis is to, based on the ECtHR’s practice, discuss which family rights LGBT-persons’ have today in Europe. Furthermore the paper will deal with what the current doctrine has to say about this development of rights in the ECtHR’s practice. With these issues as a cornersto

This Master Thesis has been performed as a development project for Asko Cylinda AB in Vara, Sweden. The company develops, manufactures and markets conventional tumble dryers among many other products. An important part of a tumble dryer is the filter holder with belonging fuzz filters mounted on the door of tumble dryer’s. The fuzz filter’s objective is to filtrate the hot drying air that pass thr

Recent development of case law emphasises the need to strike a fair balance between intellectual property rights and other fundamental rights. In theory, balancing of various fundamental rights is not a new concept. However, in practice, striking a fair balance between intellectual property rights and other fundamental rights is quite a new and problematic issue due to digitalisation, which has cr

Abstract This study tested the effect of environmental concentrations of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) sertraline on the life history of Daphnia magna and how individual-level responses could predict effects on population growth rate. Individual-level responses related to reproduction, growth and feeding were quantified in a 39-day bioassay and used in a life-table matrix. Alt

River Storån, a major tributary of Lake Bolmen which is a source of fresh water to Skåne county of Sweden is found to alter the color of water in the lake due to the presence of natural organic matter. Hence it is of utmost importance to study the river to understand the dynamics of generation and flow of water from the river to the lake. This is done by application of a hydrological modelling sys

Aim: Virtual clinical trials (VCT) in medical imaging can be used to predict the outcome of clinical trials, by simulating anatomy, imaging methods and image interpretation. VCTs could reduce the cost and duration of clinical trials and their dependence on available patients. This thesis is motivated by the limitations in the field of breast cancer screening. The aim of the project is to expand a

Several problems concern about energy are frequently discussed in recent decades, such as the shortage of traditional energy resource, the increase of energy price and the destruction of living environment by energy conversion. To solve these problems, sustainable development of energy become a preferential task all around the world. Under current circumstances, applying energy saving measures and

Pollinating insects are declining due to several threats, one being a loss of flower resources because of a change of land use. With rural agricultural areas becoming more homogenous, urban areas might provide refuge for pollinating insects. The main aim of this study was to investigate how the trees in the city of Malmö, Sweden, contribute with food resources, i.e. nectar and pollen, both spatial

Denna uppsats behandlar arbetsgivare som säger upp arbetstagare på grund av arbetsbrist, men det verkliga skälet till uppsägningen grundar sig i personliga skäl som hänförs till den enskilda individen. Detta ämne benämns som fingerad arbetsbrist. Varför dessa situationer uppstår grundar sig i anställningsskyddet och att en uppsägning måste ske på saklig grund. De sakliga grunderna består av två kaThis essay processes employers who terminate employees due to a lack of work, but the real reason for the dismissal is based on personal reasons attributed to the individual. This topic is referred to as a induced labor shortage. Why these situations arise is based on employment protection and that termination must be done on a factual basis. The factual bases consist of two categories; lack of wo

By tightly focusing ultra-short pulses from a Ti:sapphire terawatt laser onto a high-Z metallic target, hard x-ray pulses of short duration are produced. In most of our previous work concerning x-rays, a 150 mJ laser pulse with a 110 A duration has been used. Using mostly tin and tantalum targets, hard x-rays in the 10-60 keV range have been produced and used in differential absorption imaging aro

Turbulent partially premixed flames are found in common combustion applications, such as the lifted jet flames in diesel engines. There is less theory surrounding the structure and propagation of turbulent partially premixed flames than for classical premixed flames and diffusion flames, especially in regards to modelling. This thesis presents direct numerical simulations (DNS) and analysis of the

Att arter har begränsade geografiska utbredningsområden beror ofta på en begränsad förmåga att anpassa sig till de miljöförhållanden som råder utanför arternas utbredningsgränser. På grund av pågående klimatförändringar kan dock de miljöförhållanden som råder inom arters nuvarande utbredningsområden komma att ändras inom den närmaste framtiden. För att undgå utrotning kommer därför många populatioThe fact that species have limited ranges is often due to a limited ability to adapt to the environmental conditions that occur outside their geographic ranges. However, due to ongoing climate change, the environmental conditions within species’ geographic ranges may change in the near-future. To avoid extinction, many populations therefore need to migrate to new areas and/or adapt to the new cond

The work studied the concept of introducing electrolyzer waste heat in between the district heating condensers to study the effects. This was done through IPSEpro where a model of a small-scale Swedish CHP-station was built. Two different cases were analyzed, where one CHP-station was analyzed as an existing (i.e., a fixed geometry) station and the other as a future potential station with external

Background: Real-world data on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) are scarce and few studies have analysed the generic HRQoL. Objectives: To assess HRQoL using the generic EQ-5D instrument and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) instrument in PPP compared to plaque psoriasis. Methods: Cross-sectional data from PsoReg, the Swedish National Registry for Sys

The 4MOST consortium is currently halfway through a Conceptual Design study for ESO with the aim to develop a wide-field (>3 square degree, goal >5 square degree), high-multiplex (>1500 fibres, goal 3000 fibres) spectroscopic survey facility for an ESO 4m-class telescope (VISTA). 4MOST will run permanently on the telescope to perform a 5 year public survey yielding more than 20 million spectra at

Linear chromosomes of eukaryotic cells require the presence of functional nucleoprotein terminal structures, known as telomeres, to protect the integrity of the genome. The telomere is a highly dynamic and regulated structure constituted by short tandem DNA repeats rich in guanine nucleotides that extent as double-stranded DNA ending in a single-stranded 3′ overhang. An abundant number of proteins

Governance issues surrounding technologies are profound. This is best illustrated in the context of climate change that does not only exert severe, pervasive and multifaceted impacts on the environment and on the everyday lives of people around the world, but also further aggravates the tension between law, technology and the public in a broader societal context. As a response to feckless global a

Blood-based markers (BBMs) have recently shown promise to revolutionize the diagnostic and prognostic work-up of Alzheimer's disease (AD), as well as to improve the design of interventional trials. Here we discuss in detail further research needed to be performed before widespread use of BBMs. We already now recommend use of BBMs as (pre-)screeners to identify individuals likely to have AD patholo
