In this paper, the flame-wall interaction of reacting diesel spray under engine like conditions is investigated using large eddy simulations. The aim of this study is to understand the influence of the distance between the wall and the spray nozzle on the air entrainment rate, which is a key variable in formation/oxidation process of soot. Three experimental cases are investigated, a free jet case
Evidence-based software engineering (EBSE) aims to improve research utilization in practice. It relies on systematic methods (like systematic literature reviews, systematic mapping studies, and rapid reviews) to identify, appraise, and synthesize existing research findings to answer questions of interest. However, the lack of practitioners' involvement in the design, execution, and reporting of th
Kompendiet är framtaget för att användas som lärobok i murverkskonstruktion på grundnivå på civil- och högskoleingenjörsutbildningar. Kompendiet behandlar dimensionering och konstruktiv utformning av murverkskonstruktioner i enlighet med Eurokod 6 samt den svenska nationella bilagan EKS 11 och kan därmed även användas av yrkesverksamma konstruktörer. För en mer uttömmande hantering av konstruktion
Strengthening of masonry walls is a means to improve the energy performance of modern external masonry walls without further increasing their total thickness. The present paper evaluates the feasibility - here refer-ring to ease-of-application and structural performance - of several techniques aimed at strengthening mason-ry walls subjected to eccentric axial loading. Four full scale walls made of
EUs Energieffektiviseringsdirektiv innebär en skärpning av kraven på byggnaders energiprestanda. För murverksbranschens del har man identifierat ett behov av att utveckla ytterväggskonstruktioner med 30 procent lägre U-värde jämfört med idag vanligt förekommande murade ytterväggslösningar. Utveckling av välisolerade murade ytterväggskonstruktioner med tunna, ytförstärkta bärande delar förefaller v
During the 12th and 13th centuries the pottery assemblages inScandinavia changed from hand-formed into wheel-thrown pottery. Thistransition has not caught much interest among scholars and has usuallybeen explained with economic and functionalistic perspectives. Usingactor-network theory, as applied by Astrid Van Oyen, this paper discussesthe problem of how and why this ceramic transition happened.
Glasfibernät och stål som appliceras i putsen eller fästes mekaniskt direkt mot väggytan möjliggör en minskning av den bärande väggens tjocklek i murade ytterväggar. Det insparade utrymmet kan användas till mer isolering och därmed bygga mer energieffektiva murade ytterväggar utan att öka den totala väggtjockleken. Väggarnas klimatavtryck minskar.
En översiktlig uppskattning visar att man i Sverige årligen lägger flera hundra miljoner kronor på omfogning av tegelfasader. Beslut om underhåll baseras ofta på generella mallar, utan hänsyn till det aktuella behovet. Detta medför onödigt stora utgifter samtidigt som omfogning är ett slitsamt arbete. Ett doktorandprojekt vid Lunds tekniska högskola avser ge utökad kunskap om när omfogning är rati
Work is drudgery for a lot of people, whether physically or mentally, as they have to work a lot to make a living. Despite this, the work we do defines how we are perceived in society, while precarity of work has become the norm. A lot of work in capitalist growth-oriented economies is also environmentally and socially destructive. However, work can be different and meaningful, if radically reorga
The edited volume Methods for Studying Video Games and Religion (2017) by Vít Šisler, Kerstin Radde-Antweiler, and Xenia Zeiler takes the study of religion and video games seriously and recognizes the widespread usage of religious themes in the world of games. The book can be read as an exposé of the state of research in the field of Game Studies with the specific focus on methods for researching The edited volume Methods for Studying Video Games and Religion (2017) by Vít Šisler, Kerstin Radde-Antweiler, and Xenia Zeiler takes the study of religion and video games seriously and recognizes the widespread usage of religious themes in the world of games.

BACKGROUND: eHealth solutions such as digital decision support systems (DDSSs) have the potential to assist collaboration between health care staff to improve matters for specific patient groups. Patients with hard-to-heal ulcers have long healing times because of a lack of guidelines for structured diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Multidisciplinary collaboration in wound management teams is e
High salinity wastewater (HSW, NaCl mass fraction ≥ 1%) from industries and aquacultures contains massive organic matters with a wide variety. These organic matters have been considered as significant threaten to both human and environment. The removal and degradation of them before discharge emerge as necessity. However, the traditional treatment methods show significant drawbacks for this purpos
Background:Joint research between industry and academia benefits both communities.For researchers, working with practitioners, it is a chance to collect empirical data and test research-based solution proposals.For practitioners, one of the main benefits is access to scientific knowledge.Despite the benefits, there is a gap between industry and academia that could be addressed through more joint r
The practice of using quantitative risk assessments (QRAs) for managing risks in land-use planning varies between countries. Some regulatory regimes are highly prescriptive in terms of explicit requirements on methodology, assumptions, modelling tools, input data, risk criteria, etc. Others require risk analyses to support decision-making without regulating the details. The present study seeks to
Much of the 1950–1970s building stock in Sweden and other European countries is being renovated to reduce energy use and for general upgrading. To realize the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the renovations should also improve indoor environmental quality (IEQ). The PEIRE (People-Environment-Indoor-Renovation-Energy) study followed the renovation of a multifamily housing area in Sweden comprisin
In this blog post Stefan Larsson, PI for a WASP-HS project, report on a new study on Swedish consumers’ trust for retail’s data collection. The Swedish report is co-authored by Stefan Larsson with Theodor Emanuelsson and Sara Thiringer at Lund University, and launched on 8 December.
