Grade changes in polyethylene reactors, i.e., changes of operating conditions, are performed on a regular basis to adapt to market demands. In this paper, a dynamic optimization procedure is presented built upon the Modelica language extended with Optimica constructs for formulation of optimization problems. A Modelica library for the Borstar R multistage polyethylene reactors at Borealis AB, cons

Protection of systems with series compensated lines is considered to be one of the most difficult tasks for relay manufacturers and utility engineers. Protection and control of surrounding circuit elements, particularly transmission line protection, needs to be adapted to the variations introduced by these devices. Fixed series capacitors and thyristor controlled devices introduce harmonics and no

We have investigated the possibility of using a curved dipole antenna inside the mouth for the tongue controlled wireless devices in 2.45GHz ISM band. These devices can be interfaced with the wheelchair or the computer used by the paraplegic patients. Two antenna placement positions have been investigated: in front of the teeth and behind the teeth. The investigations were done through the FDTD si

Adaptive techniques such as gain scheduling, automatic tuning and continuous adaptation have been used in industrial single-loop controllers for about ten years. This paper gives a survey of the different adaptive techniques, the underlying process models and control designs. An overview of industrial products is also presented, which includes a fairly detailed investigation of four different adap

Fire has the potential to create significant impacts on the built environment. Managing this impact is sometimes pursued without consideration of the interface between the natural and technological worlds. However, as society has recognized the impacts of technological development on environmental sustainability, the need for sustainable and resilient development has emerged. To facilitate sustain

Background: Most strokes and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are potentially preventable if their risk factors are identified and well controlled. Digital platforms, such as the PreventS-MD web app (PreventS-MD) may aid health care professionals (HCPs) in assessing and managing risk factors and promoting lifestyle changes for their patients. Methods: This is a mixed-methods cross-sectional two-phas

Lifetimes of high-spin states have been measured for 142Gd and 134Nd with EU-ROBALL IV and AFRODITE, respectively, using DSAM. From calculations in the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model it was concluded that at the high-spin states of the (+,0)1 band, 142Gd represents a triaxial nucleus rotating around the longest principal axis.

Impacts of elevated tropospheric ozone on mountain birch leaves reveals higher vulnerability in young leaves compared to old. The leaf recovery after high concentration exposure is affected with lower photosynthetic rate and increased stress-related sesquiterpene emissions.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease while the economic burden of AD by severity is not adequately understood. Objective: To estimate the societal economic burden and to identify cost determinants of AD. Methods: In this population-based, controlled cohort study in Sweden, patients with AD were identified through diagnosis codes in primary or secondary care or b

This paper aims to give a short description of Swedish healthcare provision for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Swedish persons with IDD should have access to the general healthcare system on the same terms as the general population, and thereby enjoy equal opportunities for healthcare of good quality. Reports from government agencies and interest groups, however, d
