This thesis describes the development process of an additive dosage system for a fuel dispenser. The level of additive concentration is low (<1000 ppm) and three predefined concentration levels are selectable for each filling. A device to visualize the additive dosing, when chosen, was also required. These prerequisites influenced the decision to design a separate additive system for pumping, mete

In this report, methods for risk and vulnerability analysis of technological infrastructure and transport are examined. Fault Tree Analysis, Event Tree Analysis, and QRA can, along with Anticipatory Failure Determination, Hierarchical Holographic Modelling, and System Action Management, be used as methods for risk and vulnerability analysis of technical infrastructure. For risk and vulnerability a

In profit-oriented companies, success is most commonly measured by the amount of profit earned. This thesis aims to probe corresponding measures of success available and employed in non-profit organizations, and to find out the possibility of applying the same or similar techniques in both kinds of organizations.

This thesis illustrates a method of analysing the risk management of an enterprise in its management system from a systems perspective. The method implies, by means of a model of the value chain of an enterprise, connecting the external and internal demands for risk management with the business processes of the enterprise. This is done with a view of pointing out defects in the internal demands in

Background: To evaluate and describe the cone function in the normal and lesioned rabbit retina using the multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG). Methods: Twelve animals underwent a two-port vitrectomy with subsequent retinectomy in one eye. The area of removed retina was located in the nasal part of the visual streak, and measured approximately 1-2 disc diameters. Both eyes were investigated with m

Aim: The aim of the study was to reveal young carers' views of design of a web-based support system (WBSS) directed to them and the differences between their views and the views of project representatives (PRs), in a participatory design process. Methods: Eight young people, 17-24 years, were involved in either a work or a test group. The work group participated in video-recorded design meetings w

There is a growing evidence that neuropeptides may be involved in the pathophysiology of suicidal behavior. A critical review of the literature was conducted to investigate the association between neuropeptides and suicidal behavior. Only articles from peer-reviewed journals were selected for the inclusion in the present review. Twenty-six articles were assessed for eligibility but only 22 studies
