Purpose - H2O, CO2 and CO are three main species in combustion systems which have high volume fractions. In addition, soot has strong absorption in the infrared band. Thus, H2O, CO2, CO and soot may take important roles in radiative heat transfer. To provide calculations with high accuracy, all of the participating media should be considered non-gray media. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to st
Because of the dynamic developments in information technology, the role of the libraries is also changing dramatically. Access to electronic resources, as a service, has become more common for all those working in libraries. This paper focuses on the Civil Engineering Resources (CER), an electronic resource service available on the World Wide Web. It was developed within the library of Civil Engin
Purpose - The dimple is adopted into a double wall cooling structure which is widely used in hot gas components to increase the heat transfer effects with relatively low pressure drop penalty. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of dimple depth and dimple diameter on the target surface heat transfer and the inlet to outlet friction factor. Design/methodology/approach - The study is ca
Background: Bioethanol produced from the lignocellulosic fractions of sugar cane (bagasse and leaves), i.e. second generation (2G) bioethanol, has a promising market potential as an automotive fuel; however, the process is still under investigation on pilot/demonstration scale. From a process perspective, improvements in plant design can lower the production cost, providing better profitability an
This study set out to examine why agricultural production in differing agro-ecological zones of the same country responds differently to a common environmental event (an extension of the rainy season). We find that the heavy reliance of farmers in the drier agro-ecological zones on seasonal cycles make them more vulnerable to an extension of the rainy season than those in regions where rainfall is
By the end of 2020, all EU member states need to ensure that all newly constructed buildings consume ` nearly zero' energy and that their energy needs are produced locally as much as possible and with renewable sources; a concept called nearly Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB). At the same time, more and more people live in cities, where the access to local renewable energy sources -wind and solar-is li
I denna rapport föreslås en metod som syftar till att fördjupa förståelsen för identifiering av verifieringsbehovet, som rekommenderas i de svenska byggreglerna för analytisk dimensionering av byggnadstekniskt brandskydd. Syftet med denna rapport är att ge vägledning åt ingenjörer att noggrant ta reda på vilken effekt en förändring av en byggnads utformning har på byggnadens brandskyddssystem. Fö
På senare år har det diskuterats frenetiskt om arbetet mot gängkriminaliteten. Inom ramen för regeringens 34-punktsprogram, ett program bestående av flera förslag till åtgärder mot gängkriminaliteten i Sverige, infördes en ny tillfällig lag som gäller under en femårsperiod. I april 2020 trädde lagen (2020:62) om hemlig dataavläsning i kraft, för att möjliggöra för de brottsbekämpande myndigheternaOver the past years in Sweden, there has been a lot of discussions concerning the struggle on gang-related misconduct. Enclosed in the framework of the Swedish government's 34-point program, moreover an agenda comprising several proposals for measures to combat gang-related criminality, a new temporary legislation was introduced for a period of five years. In April 2020, the Secret Data Interc
The liberty of religion is not easy to define or regulate. It is closely connected to other liberties and rights. Starting from individual liberty, the consequence will be a right to religion or from religion, the right to change religion or confession, and the right to transition from religion to no religion, or from no religion to religion. It is obvious that the state, the religious denominatio
Rationale: According to the Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), the FEV1/FVC ratio is used to confirm the presence of airflow obstruction in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), whereas FEV1 percent predicted normal value (FEV1%pred) is used for grading its severity. The STaging of Airflow obstruction by the FEV1/FVC Ratio (STAR), and its prediction of
In Art, Science and the Politics of Knowledge, Hannah Star Rogers challenges the traditional dichotomy between art and science, arguing that they share common approaches to knowledge-making. Drawing on Science and Technology Studies and using compelling examples, Star Rogers illuminates the overlapping characteristics – such as emphases on visualisation, enquiry and experimentation – of the two kn
Target Temperature Management (TTM) is standard care following out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The aim of the study was to evaluate if treatment temperature (33°C or 36°C) or other predefined variables were associated with the occurrence of bleeding in the TTM study. This study is a predefined, post hoc analysis of the TTM trial, a multinational randomized controlled trial comparing treatme
The prevalence of violent conflicts over the last few decades has left numerous countries in the need of thorough rebuilding; from Afghanistan to Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Somalia or Rwanda. In order to assist in the recovery of these post-conflict societies, various peacebuilding strategies and transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented by a range of different actors. However, mo
This essay reflects on issues surrounding the remembrance and teaching of the Holocaust. It was commissioned by the project Living History and the Swedish Prime Minister's Office.
The underpinning idea of extended producer responsibility rules has been to provide incentives for manufacturers to design products that are easy to recycle. However, current incentives for design for recycling are limited, due to the problems in assigning costs for collection and recycling of individual products to the relevant producers. An alternative way to promote design for recycling, or to
