The environmental problems associated with office furniture consumption call for a more efficient use of office furniture that can decrease emissions and,volume of waste. The author discusses the opportunities and barriers for the implementation of a PSS for office furniture. In addition, the paper identifies possibilities to overcome these barriers. The article is based on interviews with Europea

The performance of a turbo code can be severely degraded if no trellis termination is employed. This paper investigates the implications of the choice of trellis termination method for turbo codes, and explains the origin of the performance degradation often experienced without trellis termination. An efficient method to derive the distance spectrum of turbo codes for different trellis termination

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling undersöker dagvatten som en resurs i svensk urban miljö. Fokus har varit öppna dagvattensystem för flödeskontroll och uppsamlingssystem för regnvatten. För att analysera realiserandet av öppna dagvattensystem, presenteras två fallstudier; Augustenborg i Malmö och Bäckaslöv våtmark i Växjö. De kvarhållande och fördröjande effekterna som uppnås med gröna This thesis investigates the beneficial use of stormwater in Swedish urban environments. The focus has been on open stormwater systems for source control, as well as rainwater collection systems. To analyse the implementation of open stormwater systems, two case studies are presented: Augustenborg in Malmö and Bäckaslöv wetland in Växjö. The retention and detention effects of green-roofs have been

Postmenopausal decline of estrogen production is associated with development of several degenerative disorders such as osteoporosis, neuroinflammatory diseases and vascular wall degeneration. These are associated with the activation of the cells of the monocyte-macrophage system in a context-dependent manner. Estrogen regulates differentiation, maturation and function of many cell types in this sy

The advantages with infrared heating and the fact that the technology has become significantly more inexpensive opens up a bigger interest to develop products using infrared heaters further. What will the future kitchen look like? How can infrared technology develop and create more conventional and intellectual products processing our food? By pushing the limits of the technology today the main

Utveckling och testning av reaktorer för katalysmätningar Katalysatorer är oumbärliga i såväl livsprocesser som industriella tillämpningar. Bilismen är ett exempel där katalysatorer används vid såväl bränsletillverkning som avgasrening. Men detta är långt ifrån det enda användningsområdet. Katalysatorer är också delaktiga i tillverkningen av uppemot 90% av alla kemikalier. Industriella katalysaIn this project four reactors for studies of heterogeneous catalysis have been developed. They were tested using case studies, especially concerning methane oxidation over palladium. The test measurements showed that the reactors work or would work very well after slight modifications. The first reactor allowed for activity measurement using mass spectrometry for temperatures up to at least 1000°C

I svenska kommuner används för tillfället ofta papperskartor som geografiskt hjälpmedel vid fältarbete. En mobil GIS (geografiskt informationssystem)applikation skulle kunna vara ett användbart hjälpmedel vid sådant fältarbete och speciellt för att genomföra fältinventering. I detta examensarbete har en sådan applikation utvecklas. Applikationen har utvecklats för Örebro kommun och kallas iSurvey.Currently, Swedish municipalities generally use paper maps to conduct field work. A Mobile GIS (geographical information system) application could be a useful tool when conducting field work and field inventory work. In this master thesis, such an application has been developed. The application was developed for the municipality in Örebro and is called iSurvey. When developing a mobile application

Popular science Carbon cycle has great importance in all time scales for its inter-connected relation and response with climate system. Increased anthropogenic emission of CO2 is alleged to impact the climate system in the future, which will affect the feedback between carbon cycle and climate change. In this project, a climate-carbon cycle feedback analysis has been conducted by using long simula

The objective was to develop evidence -based recommendations and a research and educational agenda for the non-pharmacological management of hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA). The multidisciplinary task force comprised 21 experts: nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, general practitioner, psychologist, dietician, clinical epidemiologist and patie

This contribution concerns the development of generic methods and tools for robust optimal control of high-pressure liquid chromatographic separation processes. The proposed methodology exploits a deterministic robust formulation, that employs a linearization of the uncertainty set, based on Lyapunov differential equations to generate optimal elution trajectories in the presence of uncertainty. Co

A method for simultaneous determination of the diffusion and sorption properties of cement-based materials is presented. It is a gravimetric method where one small specimen is exposed to stepwise changes in relative humidity while its mass is being measured. As sorption in cement-based materials is slow, the change in relative humidity to the next level is made before final equilibrium has been re

Background: Standardized techniques to detect HIV-neutralizing antibody responses are of great importance in the search for an HIV vaccine. Methods: Here, we present a high-throughput, high-content automated plaque reduction (APR) assay based on automated microscopy and image analysis that allows evaluation of neutralization and inhibition of cell-cell fusion within the same assay. Neutralization
