Experimental investigation of local heat transfer in a square duct with various-shaped ribs

In the present study, experimental studies are carried out to investigate the heat transfer and friction characteristics in a square duct roughened by various-shaped ribs on one wall. The ribs are oriented transversely to the main stream in a periodic arrangement. Liquid crystal thermography is employed to measure the local and average heat transfer coefficient on the ribbed surface. The rib heigh

Surfactant-Promoted Reductive Synthesis of Shape-Controlled Gold Nanostructures

We describe a surfactant-promoted reductive route for the shape-controlled synthesis of gold nanostructures by hydrothermal treatment of chloroauric acid in the presence of the surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) without using reducing agent. The results show that the cationic surfactant CTAB provides the dual function of promoting Au-III reduction to Au-0 and size- and shape-cont

Plant species diversity, plant biomass and responses of the soil community on abandoned land across Europe: idiosyncracy or above-belowground time lags

We examined the relationship between plant species diversity, productivity and the development of the soil community during early secondary succession on former arable land across Europe. We tested the hypothesis that increasing the initial plant species diversity enhances the biomass production and consequently stimulates soil microbial biomass and abundance of soil invertebrates. We performed fi

S:t Olofsskulpturen i Dalby

Brief description and interpretation of the early sixteenth century wooden sculpture of St. Olaf of Norway in the church of Dalby, Scania.

Skyddsvärda intressen & straffvärda kränkningar. Om sexualbrotten i det straffrättsliga systemet med utgångspunkt i brottet sexuellt ofredande

Popular Abstract in Swedish I den här doktorsavhandlingen undersöker Linnea Wegerstad hur sexualbrott urskiljs från andra typer av våld och kränkningar i straffrätten. Författaren utforskar hur sedlighetsbrott blev till sexualbrott under första hälften av 1900-talet och hur ett särskilt skyddsvärt intresse då skapades: den sexuella integriteten. Genom att också undersöka lagstiftningsreformer frånWhat is considered a sexual offense and what constitutes the sexual integrity protected by Swedish criminal law? Through a comprehensive historical, theoretical and doctrinal analysis, this thesis considers the question of how distinctions between sexual and other forms of violence, abuse or harassment are made in criminal law. Firstly, the thesis explores the emergence of sexual offenses in the

On the Prelude to 14th February Uprising

The book explores the contentious politics of Bahrain, and charts the way in which a dynamic culture of street protest, a strong moral belief in legitimate democratic demands and creative forms of resistance continue to hamper the efforts of the ruling elite to rebrand itself as a liberal, modernising monarchy. Drawing on powerful testimonies, interviews and conversations from those involved, this

Reform in Sweden. From Confessional Provincialism towards World Ecumenism

The development of reform in Swedish piety during the 'long' nineteenth century coincides with the working period of th 'long' Bible committee, 1773-1917. The nineteenth century was a century of Luther reading, with an ecclesiastical shift, including reforms of ecclesiastical books and changes on many levels from collectivism and institutionalism towards individualism. Popular pious songs were spr

Governmentality

Governmentality, a concept which originates from the work of the French philosopher Michel Foucault, primarily relates to an analytics of power which highlights the artificiality of government. The term refers to a way of understanding the functioning of power as that which emanates from diverse societal institutions rather than one centralized, top‐down source, such as the sovereign state.
