1. Stocking of piscivores in shallow, eutrophicated lakes to reduce cyprinid densities is a common approach in lake restorations. Young-of-the-year (YOY) pike Esox lucius are frequently used to reduce cyprinid densities, but their effectiveness is equivocal. This study uses a simple model to assess the efficacy of pike stocking as a lake restoration tool. 2. The model evaluates YOY pike consumptio
The high level of protection required by personal protective clothing (PPC) severely impedes heat exchange by sweat evaporation. As a result work associated with wearing PPC, particularly in hot environments, implies considerable physiological strain and may render workers exhausted in a short time. Recent development of algorithms for describing the heat transfer, accounting for pumping and wind
High-speed laser diagnostics was utilized for singlecycle resolved studies of the formaldehyde distribution in the combustion chamber of an HCCI engine. A multi- YAG laser system consisting of four individual Qswitched, flash lamp-pumped Nd:YAG lasers has previously been developed in order to obtain laser pulses at 355 nm suitable for performing LIF measurements of the formaldehyde molecule. Burst
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar reglertekniska problem orsakade av friktion. Tre aspekter behandlas: modellering, analys av självsvängningar orsakade av friktion och friktionskompensering. En ny relativt enkel matematisk modell för friktion presenteras och studeras. Modellen kan återge experimentella observationer av friktionsbeteende. Matematiska verktyg för att bestämma självsFriction-related problems are frequently encountered in control systems. This thesis treats three aspects of such problems: modeling, analysis, and friction compensation. A new dynamic friction model is presented and investigated. The model is described by a first order nonlinear differential equation with a reasonable number of parameters, yet it captures most of the experimentally observed frict
In this text the idea that a higher order thought theory is a fruitful theory is brought to question. This is done by proposing a simple question, by the form “Can we know if my computer is conscious?”. The main point of this text will be that HoT fails to answer the question in a satisfying way. This is because we can see from the distinction between creature conscious theories and state consciou
Fiberbar manufactures glass-fiber reinforcement that is intended to be used in different types of structures, such as buildings and bridges. In order for the reinforcement to fulfill it’s purpose. It’s requires that the reinforcing and concrete interact under load. Earlier trials have shown that the anchorage between the concrete and glass fiber reinforcement is substandard for Fiberbar AB's p
In the transforming world of peace building, the framework that formulates how peace best could be achieved is shaped by various theories and discourses. During the recent years, the discourse of local ownership has gained ground and peace theories supporting increased local participation and ownership has become more widely acknowledged. The World Development Report, published annually by the Wor
The aim of the study was to examine how symptom diagnosis are depicted and defined in different legal documents through a social constructionism point of view, with the help of a discourse analysis. The study also examined the standards that can be created with regards to symptom diagnosis and illustrates the different values that can contribute or counteract the creating of stigma. We will also r
Core Issue: Developing and maintaining industrial automation systems requires a lot of coordination of programming code. To support this task a configuration management system can be used but many companies of today find it hard to select a system that suites them best. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine various configuration management systems and evaluate them according to the nee
Abstract in UndeterminedThis article presents an integrated environment for application scheduling, binding and routing used for the run-time reconfigurable, operator based, ROMA multimedia architecture. The environment is very flexible and after a minor modification can support other reconfigurable architectures. Currently, it supports the architecture model composed of a bank of single (double)
A key element for diagnosing cardiac enlargement in an autopsy setting is relevant heart weight references. However, most available references are to a large extent not representative of a medicolegal autopsy population, implying that reference weights are likely lower than those in the relevant population.To establish more applicable heart weight references in a medicolegal autopsy population, we
Using eighteenth-century archival material from a Danish trading fort in West Africa, we explore how accounting and accountability systems were complicit with the crafting and narration of racialized slave trading during mercantile colonialism. By examining the role of accounting not at the slave trade's endpoint, e.g., plantations in the Americas, but at its points of extraction, we reveal the ro
In many civil engineering problems, soil is stabilized by a combination of binders and water. The success of stabilization is evaluated using seismic tests with measured P-wave velocities. Optimization of process, laboratory testing and data modelling are essential to reduce the costs of the industrial projects. This paper reports the optimized workflow of soil stabilization through evaluated effe
This article puts forward the core argument that a pedagogical shift is very much needed if we want to address the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities represented by increasingly diverse educational settings and move towards a more inclusive, equal, and just academia. First, it is suggested that we replace the current pedagogical models in use, namely, the teacher-centered and student-c
To understand, predict and mitigate climate change, it is crucial to have long-term and standardised measurements of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and their fluxes between atmosphere, land and oceans. The Integrated Carbon Observation System, is a distributed European Research Infrastructure which provides high-precision and highly standardised observations from more than 170 sta
Films made of colloidal CsPbBr3 nanocrystals packed in isolated or densely-packed superlattices display a remarkably high degree of structural coherence. The structural coherence is revealed by the presence of satellite peaks accompanying Bragg reflections in wide-angle X-ray diffraction experiments in parallel-beam reflection geometry. The satellite peaks, also called “superlattice reflections”,
Two large-scale randomized screening trials, the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovary (PLCO) cancer trial in the USA and the European Randomized Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) trial in Europe are currently under way, aimed at assessing whether screening reduces prostate cancer mortality. Up to the end of 1998, 102,691 men have been randomized to the intervention arm and 115,322 to the contr
This paper acknowledges the influence of Dr Rita Fahy’s life’s work on a research project to evaluate fire evacuation guidance from high-rise residential buildings. It compares the application of agent-based simulations with Rita’s publications into pre-evacuation delay times. Her observed bi-modal distribution shape aligns with an approach to modelling pre-evacuation time as a series of component
