This paper reports an investigation of a highly stratified methanol direct injection spark ignition (DISI) engine with a high compression ratio. The effects of the start of injection (SOI), spray-included angle, injection pressure, and spark timing (ST) on in-cylinder flow, fuel distribution, flame propagation, and engine performance are evaluated in detail. The combustion process of methanol DISI

Results on the generation and heat treatment of In-Se nanoparticles, made by heterogeneous condensation of selenium on indium nanoparticles synthesised via the evaporation/condensation route are reported. In-situ aerosol measurements are complemented with ex-situ analysis, to provide structural, morphological, and compositional information on the In-Se nanoparticles. Our results indicate that prio

Lead-based perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have outstanding optical properties and cheap synthesis conferring them a tremendous potential in the field of optoelectronic devices. However, two critical problems are still unresolved and hindering their commercial applications: one is the fact of being lead-based and the other is the poor stability. Lead-free all-inorganic perovskite Cs3Bi2X9 (X=Cl, Br,

BACKGROUND: The Eight-Twenty-One (ETO) nuclear co-repressor gene belongs to the ETO homologue family also containing Myeloid Translocation Gene on chromosome 16 (MTG16) and myeloid translocation Gene-Related protein 1 (MTGR1). By chromosomal translocations ETO and MTG16 become parts of fusion proteins characteristic of morphological variants of acute myeloid leukemia. Normal functions of ETO homol

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattningAluminium används för en stor mängd produkter, allt från hus och i fordon till såvardagliga produkter som aluminiumburkar. Det breda användningsområdet beror på aluminiumets höga hållfasthet, lätta vikt och dess goda korrosionsmotståndighet. Korrosionsmotståndet beror på att när aluminium exponeras för luft bildas ett aluminiumoxidskikt på ytan, vilket skyddar aluAbstractIn this thesis, the electrochemical deposition process of Sn into ordered nanoporous anodic aluminium oxide (NP-AAO) have been studied. The deposition process was studied in situ using the X-ray techniques: X-ray diffraction (XRD), Grazing incidence Transmission Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (GTSAXS), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) and ex situ usin

Today, semi-conductor nanowires can be grown with very high precision, using epitaxy. This allows for studies of new nanowire-based quantum devices, likely to be part of novel quantum technologies in the future. This thesis concerns nanostructures based on InAs nanowires. More specifically, it concerns the theoretical treatment of two types of nanowire-based structures: InAs/GaSb core-shell (and c

Taking in to consideration the countless human rights violations and impunity in Africa, there is not a shred of doubt about the dire need for effective human rights protection mechanisms at continental level. This concern has mainly increased due to the Africa Commission’s poor track record of enforcement of human rights norms in the region. Hence, it is in the effort to cure the ills suffered by

The thesis idea originated from that the authors experienced that they would have liked to have more opportunities to apply their educational and personal skills before attending the business world. The authors found a way to accomplish this by the application of a multidiscipline case simulation. The purpose of this master’s thesis is to test an idea and the application of the same. Another purpo

De förödande konsekvenserna för ekosystemen i samband med nedslaget av en asteroid för 65 miljoner år sedan, i det som idag är Yucatanhalvön, Mexiko, kan spåras i lagerföljderna över hela världen. En hög upplösningsundersökning över krita-paleogen gränsen har utförts i två marina sekvenser - Stevns Klint och Kjølby Gaard, Dammark. Sedimenten analyserades med palynofaciesanalys, MössbauerspektroskoThe devastation of ecosystems as a consequence of the Chicxulub meteorite impact 65 million years ago is clearly detectable in the geological record all over the globe. A high resolution investigation spanning the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary was carried out in two marine sections: Stevns Klint and Kjølby Gaard, Denmark. Palynofacies analyses, Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were emp

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling handlar om expertinflytande och demokrati och fokuserar hur politiskt beslutsfattande i frågor med stort beroende av vetenskaplig expertis bör gå till för att vara demokratiskt. Studiens övergripande syfte är att från ett demokratiskt perspektiv värdera den svenska lagstiftningsprocessen om medicinsk genteknik, som kan ses som ett fall av beslutsfattand

A peptide derived from the N-terminus of the unprocessed bovine prion protein (bPrPp), incorporating the hydrophobic signal sequence (residues 1-24) and a basic domain (KKRPKP, residues 25-30), internalizes into mammalian cells, even when coupled to a sizeable cargo, and therefore functions as a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP). Confocal microscopy and co-localization studies indicate that the inter

The choice of society – who is to vote? Opportunities to participation in the general elections for people with intellectual disabilities related to the Swedish national objective of an accessible society for all citizens The aim of this study is twofold; first to examine how Swedish government authorities and other relevant actors in the society regard the accessibility of general elections for

Assisterad befruktning har, vid sidan av internationella adoptioner, kommit att skapa möjligheter framför allt för de som lider av ofrivillig barnlöshet, att bilda familjer som inte är baserade på genetiska eller biologiska band. De olika metoderna för behandling av ofrivillig barnlöshet ger upphov till en rad etiska och juridiska frågor, bland annat om vilka metoder som ska tillåtas och vilka kraAssisted reproductive technology has, in addition to international adoptions, come to create opportunities, particularly for those who suffer from infertility, to form families that are not based on genetic or biological ties. The various methods of treating infertility raises a number of ethical and legal issues, including what methods are to be permitted and the requirements that must be met in

In marine insurance causation is a fundamental principle. Causation defines if a loss falls under the insurance policy or if the loss is too remote to be considered under the insurance policy. In order to define the necessary causal connection different principles are used in different countries, or in relation to different perils. In England the proximate cause principle is used while the Nordic

Genom EU-domstolens banbrytande avgörande i UsedSoft 2012 bekräftades att konsumtion av spridningsrätten kan ske till digitala kopior av datorprogram, förutsatt att kraven för en ”första försäljning” enligt artikel 4.2 dator-programdirektivet uppfylls. Domen innebar slutpunkten för den vedertagna uppfattningen att spridning av digitala verk ska klassificeras som tjänster, för vilka konsumtionsprinIn 2012, the CJEU confirmed in the landmark UsedSoft case, that the right of distribution right in regards to digital copies of computer program can be exhausted, provided that the requirements for a “first sale” according to Article 4.2 of the Software Directive is met. The ruling put an end to a previous ion that the distribution of digital copies of copyrighted works is considered as a service

Attractiveness has become a widely used concept in planning and public policy the last 15 years in Sweden. However, there is no broad definition of attractiveness and thus it is subject to interpretation. To understand how and why it can be interpreted differently this thesis will investigate how two different municipalities with comparable physical factors but otherwise different socio-economical
