TMP, kort för Trimetylolpropan, är en kemisk komponent som används som byggsten för alkydproduktion inom färgindustri samt som komponent i syntetiska smörjmedel. Perstorp har under drygt 50 år producerat TMP för vidare försäljning till andra kemiska industrier. Under denna period har produktionskapaciteten ökat många gånger om. Denna produktivitetsökning har kommit som följd av ett ”trial and erroThe production of TMP (Trimethylolpropane) is important for many applications, and is used as alkyds in paint and lubricants among others. The reactions producing TMP consist of two major reaction chains, Aldol condensation and Cannizzaro reaction. To get a deeper understanding and improve the running conditions the kinetic expressions for the reactions were examined. The aim of this paper was to

Syfte: Denna uppsats ämnar att studera hur förtroende skapas i affärsrelationer mellan venturekapitalister och entreprenörer. Detta leder oss till att undersöka följande förtroendeskapande faktorer; målkongruens och delade värderingar, kontrakt, tidsperspektiv, avsaknad av konflikter och kommunikation. Metod: Vi har gjort en flerfallstudie med kvalitativ ansats och induktiv metod där semistruktPurpose: This paper aims to study how trust is created in the business relationship between venture capitalists and entrepreneurs. This leads us to examine the following trust-building elements; goal-congruence and shared values, contracts, time perspective, lack of conflicst and communication. Methodology: We have made a multi-case study with a qualitative approach and inductive method where se

The urban areas are growing and the public spaces tend to be exploit. In Sweden, the urban planning must strive to achieve a good built environment. The aim of this paper is to study why the public spaces are important in the city, which qualities are important to promote people to use public places and if the municipality of Lomma are planning for a good built environment in the public areas. The

I dagens globaliserade värld kan en dissonans uppstå i konsumentens uppfattning av multinat-ionella varumärken när varumärkena upplevs härröra ur flera nationella ursprung som står för olika marknadskommunikativa värden. Denna studie ämnar undersöka hur denna dissonans kan överbryggas genom användandet av myter i varumärkens marknadskommunikation gentemot den gestaltade befolkningen. Genom detta pIn today's globalized society, a dissonance may occur in the consumer's perception of multi-national brands if the brands are perceived to be associated to a multitude of national origins that represents contradictory market values. This study intends to examine how this disso-nance may be coped with through the use of myths in the brand's marketing toward the por-trayed population. Th

The aim of this project was to studie notions and methods we had as designers to create emotional and long lasting product value with in a product. On the other hand there was a real case from the company Ocean Observation that wanted to develop concepts around a basic phone with an idea based design. The starting point was the question why we are not more attached to our mobile phones, the physi

The thesis explores the migration experiences of Syrian refugees who arrived in Sweden and Denmark by crossing the Mediterranean Sea in small, precarious boats. It aims to illuminate how these refugees managed the risks they faced during their journey to Europe and the meanings they associated with these risks. The research focuses on the socio-cultural and individual contexts within which risk is

This paper studies how national welfare-state institutions influenced the positions states took on the social rights of refugees during the negotiation, adoption, and ratification of the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. Through an analysis of the drafting process and the reservations and interpretative declarations states issued when rat-ifying the Convention, the

Time-domain induced polarization (TDIP) data carry spectral information that can be used for petrophysical interpretation. At the same time, TDIP data can be collected in the field more efficiently than frequency-domain induced polarization (FDIP) data, thanks to the use of square-wave signals. However, TDIP field data are prone to noise, particularly strong near industrial installations and urban

High performance of an explosive compound with respect to afterburning requires sufficient combustible properties of the explosive, and a careful determination of the most appropriate charge positioning to achieve the desired afterburning effect. Understanding the physical processes of post-detonation afterburning and how these are affected by the surroundings, e.g. the Height of Burst (HoB), faciHigh performance of an explosive compound with respect to afterburning requires sufficient combustible properties of the explosive, and a careful determination of the most appropriate charge positioning to achieve the desired afterburning effect.

The long-chain members of the lead(ii) alkanoate series or soaps, from octanoate to octadecanoate, have been thoroughly characterized by means of XRD, PDF analysis, DSC, FTIR, ssNMR and other techniques, in all their phases and mesophases. The crystal structures at room temperature of all of the members of the series are now solved, showing the existence of two polymorphic forms in the room temper

Resilience has become a key aspect in the design of contemporary infrastructure networks. This comes as a result of ever-increasing loads, limited physical capacity, and fast-growing levels of interconnectedness and complexity due to the recent technological advancements. The problem has motivated a considerable amount of research within the last few years, particularly focused on the dynamical as

Background: Birds harbour an astonishing diversity of haemosporidian parasites. Renewed interest in avian haemosporidians as a model system has placed a greater emphasis on the development of screening protocols to estimate parasite prevalence and diversity. Prevalence estimates are often based on the molecular or blood-smear microscopy techniques. However, variation in diagnostic sensitivity amon

Purpose To establish a comprehensive set of recommendations for the service structure and skill set of nurses and allied healthcare professionals in prostate cancer care. Methods Using components of formal consensus methodology, a 30-member multidisciplinary panel produced 53 items for discussion relating to the provision of care for prostate cancer patients by specialist nurses and allied healthc

We critically discuss various experimental methods to determine Curie temperature TC of (Ga,Mn)As thin layers or other conducting magnetic materials by means of electric charge transport measurements. They all base on the influence of sample magnetization on the magnetoresistivity tensor ρ̂ and are an alternative to the method based upon an analysis of the temperature derivative of the sample resi

Using electrically connected metal-coated posts in a deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) device and applying electric fields, electrokinetics is used to tune separations, significantly decrease the critical size for separation, and increase the dynamic range with switching times on the order of seconds. The strength of DLD stems from its binary behavior. To first approximation, particles move

With growing urbanisation the sustainability of cities has become increasingly important. Although cities have been using indicators for a long time it is only in the last decades that attempts have been made to collate indicators into sets that reflect the many different aspects required to assess the sustainability of a city. The aim of this paper is to review the evolution of indicators for mon

Central limit theorems for linear statistics of lattice random fields (including spin models) are usually proven under suitable mixing conditions or quasi-associativity. Many interesting examples of spin models do not satisfy mixing conditions, and on the other hand, it does not seem easy to show central limit theorem for local statistics via quasi-associativity. In this work, we prove general cen

Aim: To add to our knowledge concerning the key elements involved in the individual’s experience of growing up with substance abusing parents and the resulting challenges this involved for their own parenthood. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 19 parents who had participated in a mental health intervention programme. All had experienced substance abusing parents in their family of
