The process of creating a nation-wide pool system for transport packaging - from vision to decision

After several years of disussions, tests, investigations and additional tests, the suppliers and retailers within the Swedish business sector for food and commodities formed a jointly owned, non-profit company in 1997, which subsequently started in physical operations in 2000. This company, Svenska Retursystem AB (www.retursystem.se), is now responsible for introducing returnable transport packagi

Self-aware computing in the Angstrom processor

Addressing the challenges of extreme scale computing re- quires holistic design of new programming models and sys- tems that support those models. This paper discusses the Angstrom processor, which is designed to support a new Self-aware Computing (SEEC) model. In SEEC, applications explicitly state goals, while other systems components provide actions that the SEEC runtime system can use to meet

Endothelial and cardiac effects of 5-fluorouracil. An experimental and clinical study.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) är ett cytostatikum, även kallat cellgift (ett ämne som hämmar tillväxten av cancerceller), som använts för behandling av cancersjukdom sedan många decennier. Det kan ges både i snabb injektion och i dropp över flera dygn. 5-FU har tyvärr flera vanliga biverkningar. Man kan få påverkan av slemhinnor i magtarm-kanalen, vilket ger sår i munnThe cytostatic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) has been shown to affect both morphology and function of vascular endothelium. These effects could be part of the pathophysiology for 5-FU induced cardiotoxicity. The present thesis explores the mechanisms of this endothelial toxicity. In an animal model, treatment with thromboprophylactic doses of the low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) dalteparin could

Computational and experimental investigation of emissions in a highly humidified premixed flame

Emission formation and flame stability were investigated, both experimentally and computationally, for premixed combustion with varying amounts of water vapor in the mixture. Emission measurements were made in a gas turbine combustor at atmospheric conditions, using Danish Natural Gas (NG) as fuel. The emissions were mapped as a function of humidity, inlet air temperature, equivalence ratio and ae

Anaesthetics and the blood vessel wall. Actions of propofol and sevoflurane on sympathetic and endothelial control of smooth muscle function.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Anestesimedel och blodkärlsväggen. Propofols och sevoflurans effekter på sympatiska nerver och endotelceller. Alla dagens anestesimedel, med endast ett undantag, gör att blodtrycket faller under narkos. Blodtrycksfallet är helt ofarligt för de allra flesta, men för en grupp patienter som är äldre eller som har allvarlig kranskärlssjukdom eller hjärtsvikt, kan det vara The anaesthetics we use today dose-dependently decrease the mean arterial pressure partly due to direct or indirect effects on the blood vessels. In the present thesis human omental arteries and veins and rat femoral arteries were investigated in vitro concerning the effects of the intravenous anaesthetic propofol and the volatile anaesthetic sevoflurane on the function of the perivascular sympath

A modified cup-method for lightweight and highly permeable materials

With an increasing interest for dynamic hygrothermal calculation models for short time periods, there is a need for uncomplicated and reliable methods to determine the moisture properties for materials used in the indoor environment. The traditional cup-method is commonly used for building materials to determine the water vapor permeability. When used on lightweight and highly permeable materials,

Enabling communication: Pictures as language

A developmental disability often includes a language disorder, the result of which render learning, in part, if not entirely impossible. This has drastic consequences for children and adults, and gradually ends up becoming the primary disability. With to
