The European Spallation Source (ESS) linac will consist of three families of superconducting RE cavities to accelerate protons to a final beam energy of 2.5 GeV for collision with the target. Beam induced HOMs in these cavities may drive the beam unstable and increase the cryogenic load, severely limiting the operation of the linac. The effect of these modes on the beam quality is investigated in
This is the first of two papers introducing a novel thermomechanical continuum constitutive model for cemented granular materials. Here, we establish the theoretical foundations of the model, and highlight its novelties. At the limit of no cement, the model is fully consistent with the original Breakage Mechanics model. An essential ingredient of the model is the use of measurable and micro-mechan
The model for permanent deformation in asphalt concrete (AC) layers used in the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) was evaluated. Two instrumented flexible pavements were subjected to heavy vehicle simulator testing at three constant temperatures. Permanent deformation modelling was carried out using the MEPDG software v1.003 at the highest accuracy level. The nationally calibrate
Pickering emulsions are emulsions that are stabilized by fine particles. They have been the focus of considerable research in the past decade due to their properties such as high stability with respect to coalescence and Ostwald ripening, as well as due to advances in nanotechnology that allows us to create and characterize nano-scale structures in new ways. This work reviews some of the recent wo
The potential microbial risk from using treated wastewater is a burning issue to be studied. In Sweden, only a small part of treated wastewater is reused directly, although water reuse could be beneficial. Disinfection is virtually never practised and no protective guidelines for water reuse are found in Sweden. Based on a 1 year monitoring programme of water quality, this paper estimates the micr
There is a need for integrated care and smooth collaboration between care-providing organisations and professions to create a continuum of care for frail older people. However, collaboration between organisations and professions is often problematic. The aim of this study was to examine the process of implementing a new continuum of care model in a complex organisational context, and illuminate so
The purpose of this project was to investigate the possibilities to manufacture wet-glued laminated beams for load bearing applications from Norway spruce side board lamellae and by that achieve products that are difficult to obtain from the centre yield of a log and also contribute to increased profitability in the sawmill industry.
Properties such as shape stability, strength an
En enkätundersökning har genomförts bland brandingenjörer i Sverige med syftet att få information om detektionstider samt reaktions- och beslutstider vid en utrymning av tre olika lokaltyper; varuhus, restaurang och danslokal/nattklubb. Reslutaten kan ligga till grund för fortsatta studier för att bestämma partialkoefficienter för dimensionering av de gångvägar som används vid utrymning. Den ger o
Popular Abstract in Swedish Gasturbiner har länge varit en ekonimsk och driftsäkert sätt att producera energi. Främst har dom använts för framdrivning av flygplan och production av elektricitet och värme. Dom ständigt ökade kraven på miljöfarliga emissioner har tvingat fram nya metoder för att producera kraft. Nästa generations kraftverk måste ha hög termisk verkningsgrad samt mycket låga emissionGas turbines have served as economically profitable and reliable generators of power for the past few decades, and have mainly been used in simple and combined cycles. The increased restrictions on hazardous emissions and the increased demand for profitability have created new prospects for innovative power cycles. The requirements for these new power cycles are substantially better emissions, hig
To enhance the performance of gas turbine engines, high top-cycle temperatures are desired. However, the temperature is limited by current materials. To achieve the higher performance, and meanwhile maintain the metal temperatures of the combustors, vanes and blades below the allowable limits, sophisticated cooling techniques, such as impingement cooling, film cooling and convective internal cooli
A naturally contaminated sediment was partially extracted with selective supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) to remove a fraction of supposedly bioavailable PCBs from the matrix. Eels (Anguilla anguilla) were cultured in systems with untreated and pre-extracted sediment, respectively, and it was shown that the SFE treatment selectively removed bioavailable PCBs from the sediment, since relative b
A large gravel pit 30 km north of the Pomeranian ice margin has been investigated. Besides gravel, sand, fines and diamicton, several deposits of organic material are present, some of them showing a typical Eemian Pollen- and macroflora. Previous interpretations assume that the sediments below the Eemian peat belong to the Saalian, and those above the peat to the Weichselian. Sorted sediments in t
During the last few years the home care services have had to face an increased responsibility for medical tasks. A study in the city of Malmö in 1993, repeated in 1998, shows that 95% of the health care assistants are engaged in the administration of medication. The studies demonstrate that health care assistants have inadequate knowledge not only about medicines and their administration but also
A mixed initial-boundary value problem for a nonlocal, hyperbolic equation is analyzed with respect to unique solubility and causality. The regularity of the step response and impulse response (the Green functions) is investigated, and a wave front theorem is proved. The problem arises, e.g., at time-varying, electromagnetic, plane wave excitation of stratified, temporally dispersive, bi-isotropic
In two previous studies, optimal conditions were identified for two-step steam pretreatment Of SO2- and H2SO4-impregnated softwood. In the present study the yield of sugar and ethanol was determined in a process development unit where pretreatment was performed in a 10-L reactor and simultaneous sacchatification and fermentation (SSF) or enzymatic hydrolysis (EH) were performed in 30-L reactors. T
We consider estimation of frequency offset (FO) and equalization of a wireless communication channel, within a general framework which allows for different frequency offsets for various multipaths. Such a scenario may arise due to different Doppler shifts associated with various multipaths, or in situations where multiple basestations are used to transmit identical information. For this general fr
1. Mice were subjected to gastrectomy (GX) or food deprivation (24 h). The release of insulin and glucagon in response to different secretagogues was monitored in vivo and in isolated islets 3-4 weeks after surgery. 2. GX animals responded to glucose with an impaired glucose tolerance and a poor increase in plasma insulin. Islets from GX or food-deprived mice displayed impaired insulin release to
It is crucial for social work education to provide opportunities for students to gain a sincere and genuine knowledge of the conditions of life that are common for their forthcoming clients and patients. Social work students and service users with experiences with multiple social and personal problems now meet, as they are participants in an experimental course at the School of Social Work in Lund
