Visual inspection in order to assure quality control is a challenging field that is attracting increasing interest after a long period of silence due to the trust and hope in computers and automation. Human visual inspection is however a challenging area as it requires the designer of the system to take in to account demands and limitations of technical, economic and psychological nature. This st
Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats är att söka svar på vilka analytiska verktyg som krävs för att förstå villkoren för mänskligt handlande. Min tes är att den diskursteoretiska epistemologi som kommit att dominera samtida feministisk forskning - i uppsatsen representerad främst av Judith Butler - inte tillhandahåller dessa analytiska verktyg. För att pröva denna tes har jag intervjuat fem he
This thesis aims at presenting the differences and similarities between the Swedish and Canadian legal system, by means of search and seizure regulations. In doing this I hope to provide the readers, whether it is a Swede or a Canadian, with a perspective on their own legal system. In the limited time and space offered for the completion of this thesis, I had to choose one specific area of law to
The performance of HVAC equipment, including chillers, is continuing to be pushed to theoretical limits, which impacts the necessity for advanced control logic to operate them efficiently and robustly. At the same time, their architectures are becoming more complex; many systems have multiple compressors, expansion devices, evaporators, circuits, or other elements that challenge control design and
I denna forskningsöversikt kartläggs svenskproducerad och kvalitetsgranskad forskning om svensk forskarutbildning i syfte att illustrera forskningsfältets fysiska och vetenskapliga formering 2000–2020. Databasen Swepub användes för att identifiera licentiatavhandlingar, doktorsavhandlingar och refereegranskade artiklar som sedan analyserades med deskriptiv statistik och tematisk analys. Fältets fyIn this scoping review we map Swedish research on Swedish doctoral education in order to illustrate the physical and scientific configuration of the field from 2000 to 2020. The database Swepub was used to identify licentiate theses, doctoral theses, and peer reviewed articles. Subsequently the material was analysed through descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The physical configuration o
Reliable prediction tools are yet to be developed for estimating the accurate acoustic performance of lightweight structures, which are vital especially in the design process. This paper presents a sound insulation prediction model based on artificial Neural Networks (NN) to estimate acoustic performance for airborne and impact sound insulation of floor structures. At an initial stage, the predict
Morocco often faces significant intense rainfall periods that can generate flash floods and raging torrents, causing serious damage in a very short period of time. This study aims to monitor wetland areas after a flash-flood event in an arid region, Saquia El hamra Saharan of Morocco, using a technique that combines hydraulic modeling and remote sensing technology, namely satellite images. The hyd
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next generation gamma-ray observatory and will be the major global instrument for very-high-energy astronomy over the next decade, offering 5 − 10 × better flux sensitivity than current generation gamma-ray telescopes. Each telescope will provide a snapshot of gamma-ray induced particle showers by capturing the induced Cherenkov emission at ground le
The sun is the most prominent source of directional information in the heading direction network of the diurnal, ball-rolling dung beetle Kheper lamarcki. If this celestial body is occluded from the beetle's field of view, the distribution of the relative weight between the directional cues that remain shifts in favour of the celestial pattern of polarised light. In this study, we continue to expl
Metallic nano-antennas are devices used to concentrate the energy in light into regions that are much smaller than the wavelength. These structures are currently used to develop new measurement and printing techniques, such as optical microscopy with sub-wavelength resolution, and high-resolution lithography. Here, we analyze and design a nano-antenna in a two-dimensional setting with the source b
The use of a polar diagram method for describing and evaluating the machinability of Inconel 718 was explored. Five key parameters of the work material, representing the mechanical and physical properties which have strongest influence on its machinability, were employed in the diagrams. These five parameters were integrated into a single polar diagram, used to describe the machinability of Incone
Compounds containing lone-pair elements such as TeIV are very interesting from the structural point of view, as the lone-pair nonbonding regions create low-dimensional geometrical arrangements. We have synthesized two new compounds with these features - Ba2Cu2Te 4O11Br2 (I) and Ba2Cu 2Te4O11-δ(OH)2δBr 2 (II, δ ≈ 0.57) - as members of the AE-M-Te-O-X (AE = alkaline-earth metal, M = transition metal
High EGR rates combined with turbocharging has been identified as a promising way to increase the maximum load and efficiency of heavy duty spark ignition engines. With stoichiometric conditions a three way catalyst can be used which means that regulated emissions can be kept at very low levels. Obtaining reliable spark ignition is difficult however with high pressure and dilution.

Formation of metal hydrides is a serious complication that occur when hydride forming metals such as zirconium, niobium, vanadium and magnesium are exposed to long term hydrogen environment. The main concern is that the hydride, as being a brittle material, has very poor fracture mechanical properties. Formation of hydride is associated with transportation of hydrogen along the gradients of increa
Autoantibodies to human pituitary cytosol proteins were determined by immunoblotting in sera from patients with hypopituitarism and their relatives. Reactivity to an M(r) 49 000 protein was significantly more frequent in patients (6/21 (28%) P<0.05) as well as in relatives (10/35 (28%) P<0.02) compared with controls (3/44 (6.8%)). Autoantibodies to this particular protein have previously been dete
Although extensively studied (and of large importance for food processing) there is still no general consensus on the time-dependent convective heat transfer coefficient (h) in immersion frying – reported values differ by orders of magnitude (4–7000 W m−2 K−1). Moreover, none of the many methods suggested have become a generally agreed upon standard. This study uses the general uncertainty managem
Although nationalism is an example of a cultural force which in many cases has overruled other, traditional identities and loyalties in nineteenth- and twentieth-century society, the study of nationalism has not been focused very much on the cultural praxis of national identity formation and sharing. As a result, the ideology and politics of nationalism are far better understood than the creation
Antibodies targeting Ab42 are under intense scrutiny because of their therapeutic potential for Alzheimer’s disease. To enable systematic searches, we present an “antibody scanning” strategy for the generation of a panel of antibodies against Ab42. Each antibody in the panel is rationally designed to target a specific linear epitope, with the selected epitopes scanning the Ab42 sequence. By screen
Photosynthesis provides carbon for the synthesis of macromolecules to construct cells during growth. This is the basis for the key role of photosynthesis in the carbon dynamics of ecosystems and in the biogenic CO2 assimilation. The development of eddy-covariance (EC) measurements for ecosystem CO2 fluxes started a new era in the field studies of photosynthesis. However, the interpretation of the
Background: Listening effort seems to depend on input-related listening demands and several factors internal to the individual listener. Input-related demands may be listening in noise compared with listening in quiet, and internal factors may be cognitive functions. Purpose: The purpose was to apply measures of listening effort and perceived listening effort in participants with normal hearing, t
