This paper is concerned with two approaches to designing spaces for knowledge work. The central concern of the first approach is with the use of fictional descriptions of the workplace, in order to stimulate creative thought about new workspaces. The second approach draws on the emerging potential of three dimensional virtual reality as a tool to develop shared visions and to stimulate creativity.

In late 2016, Lund is on the verge of becoming the center of accelerator-based material science in Europe.The MAX IV Laboratory, an electron synchrotron, was inaugurated in June 2016 with a scientific program to commence shortly and the European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS), a spallation neutron source, is presently under construction and anticipated to be fully operational by 2022.These facilitieThe He-3 “crisis” has become a fact in the last decade and large scale neutron detectors based on He-3 technologies have become unaffordable. This new He-3 reality has resulted in a major effort worldwide to develop replacement neutron-detector technologies. Many of these technologies are in their infancy and need to be thoroughly tested before becoming mainstream, while others are approaching com

In agro-ecosystems, environmental monitoring is fundamental to detect and survey changes related to land use change and management practices. Butterflies and moths have often been suggested as suitable indicators for monitoring environmental effects on biodiversity in farmlands. Here, we estimated the required sample size and monitoring effort necessary to run a Lepidoptera survey in European farm

A 14.5 GHz Injection Locked Oscillator (ILO) with digital output phase control has been implemented in a 90 nm CMOS process. It is intended for LO signal generation in integrated phased array transceivers. The chip, measuring 360x530 μm2 including pads, was characterized using on-wafer probing. It consumes 9.4 mA from a 1.2 V supply and has a 1.4 GHz frequency range where full 3600 phase range is

Biogas produced by anaerobic digestion is often used in gas turbines to produceelectricity. In order to increase the value of the gas and to enable utilization of the gas in other applications, it may be advantageous to upgrade the biogas. In this way, the carbon dioxide as well as various impurities are removed and biomethane is produced. Biomethane is similar to natural gas and can be used in si

Microbial decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) is the source of most of the terrestrial carbon dioxide emission. Consequently, our ability to predict how climate warming will affect the global carbon (C) budget relies on our understanding of the temperature relationship and adaptability of microbial processes. We exposed soil microcosms to temperatures between 0 and 54 degrees C for 2 months

The major part of the Swedish hydro power development took place between 1945 and 1975. At that point of time, significant progress had been made regarding the use of high quality concrete for hydraulic structures. In spite of the progress made, deterioration of concrete due to freezing and thawing is still frequent. Superficial damage at the waterline and spalling of concrete far below the water

Popular Abstract in English Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and the second most common in men. The western world has the highest incidence rates. The causes of prostate cancer are not yet clear, however a number of risk factors have been identified such as familial history, ethnicity, diet and genetic events. Prostate cancer affects primarily elderly men with the majProstate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. In order to improve diagnosis and prognosis, new sensitive and specific biomarkers are needed. Tissue biomarkers carry expression and morphological information of the tissue where they are expressed. However their use is still limited by technological problems, lack of standardized procedures and inadequate interpretation. In this work we in

This article studies the Kyoto Protocol’s CDM as an example of hybrid governance, involving both public and private actors, and uses the concept of agency to explore the influence of public and private actors in the governance of the CDM over time. Even though public actors formally govern the CDM, the delegation of project implementation and supervision to private companies has created ample oppo

Cerium dioxide, or ceria, is a chemically stable oxygen ion conducting material with a capacity to store and release oxygen, and is therefore extensively used in combustion catalysts. The Cu-Ce-O system has been identified as one of the most active catalysts for the combustion of carbon monoxide. To study the catalytic oxidation of CO, we have synthesised model CuO_x/CeO₂ cata

Popular Abstract in Swedish Talet om det mångkulturella i skolan och samhället: En analys av diskurser om det mångkulturella inom utbildning och politik åren 1973-2006 Det svenska samhället har under de senaste tre decennierna påverkats av debatter, rapporteringar och diskussioner om det mångkulturella samhället. Frågan om hur man ska handskas med ?det mångkulturella? har uppfattats och beskrivitThe debate on "multicultural issues" has had a considerable impact on society, and in Sweden, dealing with such issues has been described and defined as a major problem. The aim of the present thesis is to analyse the various contents of discourses on multicultural issues that have influenced education and policy documents during the period 1973-2006. On several occasions, the Swedish government h

The reaction 8Li + 2H has been studied in inverse kinematics at the incident energy of 3.15 MeV/nucleon, using the REX-ISOLDE post-accelerator. The reaction channels corresponding to (d,p), (d,d), and (d,t) reactions populating ground states and low-lying excited states in 7 -9Li have been identified and the related angular distributions extracted and compared with coupled-channels, distorted-wave

In order to improve the surface quality of TC4 titanium alloy parts, the effect of grinding parameters on surface integrity must be known. In this research, an experimental analysis has been conducted to understand the effect of grinding parameters, including cutting velocity, feed rate, grinding depth and abrasive size, on material removal and surface integrity. Before conducting experiment, test
