The 1920s saw a significant exchange between eugenicists in Swedenand the young Soviet state. Sweden did not take part in World War I, and duringthe years following immediately upon the Versailles peace treaty, Swedishscholars came to serve as an intermediary link between, on the one hand, SovietRussia and Weimar Germany, and, on the other hand, Western powers. Swedisheugenicists organized confere

This article focuses on Olof von Dalin’s occasional verse, which has not yet been collected in a scholarly edition. Dalin's occasional poems have survived thanks to many people. Some of them were personal friends and acquaintances of his while others did not move in his circles and were not personally known to him. They copied his poems and in not a few cases made sure that they were printed; they

When Swedish wastewater treatment plants were rebuilt to include enhanced nitrogen removal, anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) was far from being a mature technology. During the 2000s, the process has been introduced into sludge liquor treatment worldwide. The step to introduce anammox in the mainstream is decreasing, but lab- and pilot-scale studies on real municipal wastewater are yet lackin

The current control design development process in automotive industry and elsewhere involves many expensive experiments and hand-tuning of control parameters. Model based control design is a promising approach to reduce costs and development time. In this process low complexity models are essential and model reduction methods are very useful tools. This thesis combines the areas of modeling and mo

The Euro50 is a proposed optical telescope with an equivalent aperture of 50 m. It will have a segmented primary mirror and full adaptive optics. To study the interaction of the telescope structure, the control system and the optics, an integrated simulation model has been formulated. The mechanical model is a modal version of an Ansys finite element model. The optics model is based on ray tracing

Abstract in UndeterminedThe use of a polar diagram method for describing and evaluating the machinability ofInconel 718 was explored. Five key parameters of the work material, representing themechanical and physical properties, which have the strongest influence on its machinability,were employed in the diagrams. These five parameters were integrated into asingle polar diagram, used to describe th
